It's hard to figure out exactly what these numbers mean, but Dem votes over the last three days eclipsed the 11 day early/absentee voting total in 2004 by 8.5%; for Republicans, the total 38.5% smaller. The Dem numbers are almost three times the GOP numbers.
Also, it looks like the counties that are expected to go most heavily for Clinton (i.e. El Paso, Corpus Christi, maybe San Antonio) increased their turnout the least; the ones expected to go heavily to Obama (Houston, Dallas, and Austin) are middling, while the tossups/lean Obama counties (basically, suburban Houston, Dallas, and Austin) have the highest increase in turnout."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Think about it. The Republican nominee is pretty much set. Democratic, not set. It pulls in Independents along with Republican-inclined.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

You either vote early or you vote on voting day. Not so strange.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

The Dem nomination race has a very clear front-runner. The difference between Obama and McCain is roughly similar to the difference between Kerry and Bush before the TX primary (likely nominee and very likely nominee vs. very likely nominee and uncontested, incumbent President). There was also a "Texan" on the GOP ballot in 2004, that helped to pull in votes.Think about it. The Republican nominee is pretty much set. Democratic, not set.

Let me put it to you like this, I voted in the Democratic primary. I doubt that I'll vote the same in the general election.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

No, you vote, then come back again after voting is closed and caucus for a second vote. Am I wrong here? Dem primary (no point for me to vote in the repub)Originally posted by SlowwHand

Ah yes, the sample of one.Support Apolyton buy from Amazon
Let me put it to you like this, I voted in the Democratic primary. I doubt that I'll vote the same in the general election.
IIRC, exit polls are saying that only about 10% of Republicans that voted for a Dem in the primaries are planning on voting for a Republican in the general. You can also look at earlier contests (after McCain became the presumptive nominee), where Republicans tend to be less than 10% of the total Dem primary vote...
As I wrote beforehand, I don't know exactly what the numbers mean, but it does look like bad news for the GOP."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

That isn't right. This is a primary, to decide who is running for each party. In the general election,you then vote for Clinton/Obama or McCain.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
