I sure hope that portends something good for the future.

I don't understand. So what you're saying is if the voters don't come out early or not at all, that goes to McCain's advantage?

The reason it goes to McCain, I believe, is because Obama led a huge, get out the vote type deal in Ohio, where he picked up many left-leaning individuals, the homeless, college students, and the such, and took them to the polls to register and vote on the same day. The low turn out, means that obama isn't getting as many votes as he expected, since most of the people who voted early are presumed to be probama.

That is what the talking heads from the Dem party were saying. They were expecting 20-25,000 to vote early. 4-5,000 didn't quite make it.

BO depends a lot on the early voting. It has been his trademark because he knows as people do more research about him the less likely they are to vote for him.

Just to relate an experience. Here in the texas dem primary ...BO had a lead of over 75k at the end of early voting. HRC went on to win the state by over 100k votes. Its been a trend ...BO at first is behind then spends a lot of money in the respective state ..closes the gap , takes the lead but loses it all out within the last 2-3 days. This has happened in MA, CA, NH, TX, OH, PA during the primaries.

This thing is FAR from over. and the news out of OH is BIG!
