Politico reporting Heavy turnout in Philly

ACTION IN PHILLY: Democrats in Pennsylvania are touting reports that indicate turnout is higher than expected in the state and in Philadelphia. "My sense is, people are coming out to vote," a councilwoman says

K&R

(hopeful) predictions of the media will make Dems get to the polls. Seems to me like they're trying to cover their asses already.

I'll be posting links to turnout anecdotes from around the country all day.

Leheigh Valley, PA:

"For a nonpresidential election we are running above normal for this time of day," Hynes said.

That's Toomey's old district. Not good news for us.

Update: Turnout here is 3x the norm. Astronomically higher. Bethlehem mayor John Callahan is running for Congress and is from this area, so the optimists can hope this is his base turning out to vote out GOP Rep. Charlie Dent.

Update II: Dem party internals had Sestak up 47-46 in this area, and getting out Dem vote will be critical for the Senate race, as well as the Callahan-Dent house race. If you want to make GOTV calls into this district, you can contact Michael at mogorman@padems.com and he'll set you up.

We actually the bonafide exit polling in my precinct today--they had the CNN and other network logos all over the boxes.

It was interesting because this precinct is always, always, Republican. I wonder why they would choose that to exit poll.

Go, Joe!

:dem:

Sestak to win.

By the way, thanks for your great information heavy threads that asks for predictions - it was fun. But, more fun will be if the Democrats were the "silent majority" this time - utterly turned off by the rude antics of the te party and those in the establishment that liked them.

any word on what the president is up to today?

my entire precinct appears to be voting.

He said his polling place was jammed. He and his wife voted straight Democratic.

.

The kind of Republican that lives in Sestak's own district?

I hope, I hope....

And they tend to be Indis, not Rs.

The b-i-l said Joe Sestak was at that polling place while he was there. I thought that was pretty cool.

Pennsyltucky in the middle.
