Terrific GOTV News At Midday - KEEP IT UP!

[Edgewater_Joe]

I have the FOX affiliate on in Chicago, and he reports that in the East and Midwest, estimates are 65-75% turnout -- while in the South (i.e. Bush Country), turnout is only at 45-55%.

Furthermore, Kerry's War Room just reported on Al Franken that their early reports on FL and OH indicate Democrat turnout is way beyond what was expected on the positive side, while Repub turnout is slightly under what was anticipated.

And in Chicago, they're estimating an unbelieveable 80% turnout.

First predictions: Polls close at 7 p.m.

Obama will be declared the winner at 7:00:04.
Kerry will be declared the winner at 7:00:56.

1. You are so lucky that Obama will be your senator. n/t

[Mr_Spock]

3. Can we make Obama my senator too?

I am jealous too.

9. No crap, lets clone him

On the right, 48 crackers. On the left, 52 Obama's.

[AldebTX]

16. I second that

I just wish his speech had made primetime on the networks during the convention. I credit his speech with first firing me up.

[Guaranteed]

2. But, but....the CNN/Gallup people said that Bush supporters

were 10% more "enthusiastic" than Kerry supporters!

BTW, I'm down in Bloomington, and it's true so far....when I went to the polls, there were not many people there. A GOOD sign for us.

8. Hey! Bloomington was my home for six years

and I was born in Normal!

I have about 60 relatives in Bloomington/Normal voting for John Kerry! My gramma HATES the chimp!! :)

[Guaranteed]

10. NICE...

Yeah, I'm actually in Normal.

Went down to the HS and cast my vote for Kerry. Yelled a huge FUCK YOU BUSH! in the car on the way home. Finally got some of mine back for him calling me unpatriotic.

4. Lots of disgusted REAL republicans staying home!

:evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

5. Even though I live in VA, I sent Obama $ because he

made me cry at the Dem Convention! You are very lucky to have him -- go Barack!

[LisaLynne]

6. That's excellent!

I had a feeling a lot of Republicans would just sit this one out. It's hard to get any enthusiasm up for a failure like *.

7. Looks like the repugs turned away from

B* rallies are having their revenge.

[Riddler]

11. They'll say the same thing I just heard from a Repuke "friend"...

all the minorities and Dems vote during the day because they don't have jobs, while the Repubs numbers magnify at night after they get off work!

[lancdem]

15. Traditionally, Dems vote later in the day than Repukes

Your "friend" is full of shit.

12. saw turnout info in salon (war room)

it's looking like over 60% turnout nationally. They said that hasn't happened since the 60's.

woo hoo !!
