You'll see they have been predominantly young and/or African-American. Now, how well does Willard do within those demographics?

What I find curious is the assumption that this race will be closer than 2008. However, Romney is such a horrific candidate, and Ryan has generated maybe half the "buzz" that Palin did. So, I agree that a landslide may definitely be in the works.

Otherwise Romney would have been way behind in early voting in FL.

where Obama won the state by just 266K votes?

yep, that means nearly the same number of people who supported Obama instead supported Stumpy McCain and the hillbilly from Wasilla.

the notion "not many people are voting for the other guy" is baloney.

If we turn our weak gains in the house into moderate gains and our weak losses into weak holds...

MAYBE... JUST... MAYBE...
