ABC is making light of this and I wouldnt consider it much, but its interesting to note that Bush is ahead 51% to 47%. But many people are voting earlier. Even though this only a small sample 10% is 10% and if more republican vote early than that may mean more are committed to gettign out the vote

I didn't think they counted any votes until Election day? Where did they get these numbers?

Exit polling? That is interesting and GOOD NEWS because the Dems were widely thought to have the edge in early voting.

hmm...and Very Happy

Nah! It sound to me, after re-reading the article, that they've just included an extra question in their polling: have you voted early?

The good news is some Kerry backers only read the headlines and this may cause complacency. The bad news is the GOOD guys may read the headlines and get complacent.

According to FOX this was exit Polling of early voters. I will take an optimistic view that maybe more Democrats than we thought are voting for Bush.

We are voting early so we can continue to volunteer and see President Bush soundly defeat the MORON ticket.

It isn't too late to sign up for the 72 hour get out the vote --- you can make phone calls into battleground states if you cannot travel there...

Please VOTE Early and please then go to work to get out the vote...

Evil or Very Mad skerry Evil or Very Mad must be sent back to one of the Heinz mansions and kept out of the White House.

E-mail everyone you know with what you think is the most important piece of information supporting the defeat of Kerry or the re-election of President Bush

Get/Make an Anti-Kerry or Pro-Bush sign and stand at a busy intersection during rush hour... or near your polling place.

BE safe -- but take effort to keep AMERICA SAFE

I'm voting absentee ballot for the first time so I can drive from DC area to Cleveland where I was born to help out.
(Any one else from DC area want to come along to help) Smile
