Romney has edge in turnout? Excuse Me??

[BlueDemKev]

Pew Research claims that Romney has the edge in turnout efforts? I thought Obama's ground game, at least in the swing states, was supposedly unbeatable?

3. LV

I think they are talking about Likely Voters, but keep in mind that many of these LV's are from deep red states that will have no impact on the Electoral College. The only poll that would worth something is the LV's in the Battle Ground States. No one cares if Alabama, Ole Miss, etc...have huge turnouts for Romney, they were going with the Republican anyways.

4. Given that Alabama and 'Ole Miss are my neighboring states....

...I totally understand. My question is this: who has the superior ground game/get-out-the-vote efforts in THESE states???

OHIO
WISCONSIN
MINNESOTA
NEVADA
PENNSYLVANIA

That's the election right there!

7. You sound like Mittens...

...the concerns of others are of no concern to him.

8. I Will Fix That.Thank You.

You don't sound like Mittens...The legitimate concerns of others are of no concern to him.

9. Likely voter models from some pollsters are going against the early voting enthusiasm

seen in IA, NC, OH, NV and even in FL seen for Obama. We are still a bit behind in CO. I don't have the numbers on WI but I assume it is more like the other mid west states.

Likely voter models are not always right. They could mistake outright hatred of the President in red areas as more enthusiasm for Romney, when it matters little in the electoral college.

10. The correct characterization is that Obama hs more margin for improvement.

If he gets more unlikely Dems to the polls, he wins. And there are a lot more unlikely Dems.
