I certainly hope you're right, but some of those new/unlikely voters will be coming out for Obama solely to vote against a black man. I like what I'm hearing. Living in the People's Republic of Berkeley is so different from the rest of the country that I really have no idea how it will really play out.

I've posted before some observations on early voting and here's todays from Indiana We are a dead heat - the first time in 40 years that the Dems even challenged. In a city of about 100K we have had more early votes than the entire total votes in the last municipal election. The County Clerk is estimating a 70% turn out this year - simply amazing. I was at at a grocery store today that is an early vote center. I've been there several times the last week at different times on different days and there have been an average of 40 people waiting to vote every time. I was there about 5:00 this afternoon and the line to vote was out the door - 80 to 100 people I'd guess and more then half of them appeared to be under 25 years old - 30 at the most. We may go blue for the first time in my voting life. You sure it wasn't the double coupons? I've voted in city halls, schools, firehouses. libraries and even a garage but never a grocery store. I'd be conflicted, with all my experience devoted to getting out of the damn place fast I'd be looking for the quick (under 2 items) lane and probably forget to vote. (I left so fast Friday I had to drive back to pick up a package I'd left behind) |
