KERRY LEADS IN EARLY FLORIDA VOTING |
|
Little scrawl at the bottom of CNN I just saw. Quinnipiac poll, according to them, says that the early voting results have Kerry winning.
I haven't seen the story anywhere yet, but once its out someone find it.
:bounce:
YAY!

3. i think they set up shop around polling places |

4. Isn't the best they can say is: Dem early-voters outnumber Repubs? |
|
As far as I know, there has been no release of polling numbers.

6. LOL, so funny because Quinniapac said Bush is winning in Fla |
|
What are they going to do? Report Kerry is ahead only among people who decided to vote early but Bush wins the last minute vote bigtime? ROFL

7. Are these Exit poll results ? |
|
I'm sure they are not allowed to announce ACTUAL results before the polls are closed (or even open for that matter). This is due to the effect on later time zones.
Yeah, this is a minority sampling a small number of early voters. Who cares, until it is over.

10. Isn't Quinnipiac the one that recently showed Penn |
|
Tied or a slight Bush lead?
That poll is serious bunk. Hell, they all are.

that the basis of this is the people who they polled that got them the 49-46 overall result showed kerry winning by double digits with early voters using the same sampling of people. I guess most of the bush voters in the survey just had not voted.

12. Hey, it's crazy. Last night MSNBC had a poll with Bush up about 8 points. |
|
I was watching a tape and when I turned it off the TV was still on MSNBC and Laura Ingram (YECH!)filling in on Scarborough Country and her guests were touting some poll that had Bush up something like 8 points or more in Florida, implying that Florida was going to Bush easily. ??????? Even if Bush does steal Florida again, there is no way he could be polling that high.
OH my BRAIN!

The polls are wrong on Florida, period. Kerry is going to win the state, no matter how hard Jeb tries to steal it this time around.

14. I think there has been a conscious strategy by the Dem party in |
|
Florida to get their people to the polls early as a method of insurance against election day bs. Get the kinks in the system ironed out early, and less chance of voter intimidation having a major effect if the Dem vote is spread out across the days before the election. Better to discover something going wrong with machines the first day when 5% of the total people might be voting, than on the last day when 50% are trying to vote.

16. Actually I believe the Repugs spent more money than the Dems |
|
in their effort to get their folks to vote early. In the past the Repugs usually do well in early voting results.
This is just one more indication that W should be working on his concession speech.
