It depends on when they voted. Do you know how long early voting has been open?

Last week on Morning Schmoe, he said that about 50% of republicans had already voted.. It could be the Mitt loyalists..and maybe they are also included in the current polling

We even have a photo ID requirement here.

The GOPers here know that they need to suppress the vote, not encourage it.

In Arizona because of early voting the race is over. But in Michigan that is not the case. It looks like it is really going to be close Tuesday night.

will beat Mittens by at least five percent when the counting is done. One thing I've noticed about the polling is that it way underestimates the most conservative side of the vote, at least in the Rethug primary. Pollsters must be figuring that all they have to do is get a few people in the center of big cities, and they've got a 'representative' sample. Folks in the boondocks usually don't vote anything like the people in the cities near them, I wonder why pollsters can't seem to figure that out.
