McCain Up in Florida Early Voting Poll

This is very interesting. According to an LA Times/Bloomberg poll of those who voted early in Florida, McCain leads Obama 49-45% even though more Democrats voted than Republicans:

Democrats are beaming that their party is outperforming the Republicans in early voting, releasing numbers Wednesday that show registrants of their party ahead 54 percent to 30 percent among the 1.4 million voters who have gone to the polls early.

"We're thrilled at the record turnout so far," said Democratic Party of Florida spokesman Eric Jotkoff. "It's a clear indication that Democrats want to elect Barack Obama and Democrats up and down the ballot so that we can start creating good jobs, rebuilding our economy and getting our nation back on track."

But party breakdowns for turnout aren't the same as final tallies, and at least one poll offered a different view for the campaign of Republican John McCain.

A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll gave McCain a 49-45 lead over Democrat Barack Obama among Floridians who have already voted.

And Republicans continued to show a traditional strength, leading 50 percent to the Democrats' 30 percent in the 1.2 million absentee ballots already returned.

Democrats are beaming that more Democrats came out to vote early but it seems many of them aren't voting for the Democrat candidate. Hmmm.

Hey, does me being able to get a head shot at 400 yards with an AR-15 when I'm guarding your back when the world collapses count as hope?

You can watch the left flank...

I really can't say I'm surprised. I can't recall an election where the Republicans were ever ahead in the polls yet they have won the presidency many times.

Indeed.

I thought I'd post this column since I know how freaked out some people get about Ann Coulter. Say what you will about her, but I'd be amazed if you could refute the numbers she lists in that column.

Edit: Also, I think it's complete bullshit that there is any "early voting". WTF is the point of election day? Why not have election week?

[Legion_Prime]

Oh yeah, make it even easier for obamaites to bus people around to make sure they get their USRDA of fraudelant votes in. But seriously, I think it's worth it watching the obamadiot's freaking out by all the reports of McCain being ahead anywhere from 5-50% in the early and absentee ballots.

I have a real issue with that early voting, what if something comes out on either candidate that a person who already casted a ballot wished they knew before hand and would have changed their vote...November 4th is election day for a reason.

Polls aren't accurate.. Never have been. Both sides accuse the other of stealing votes, electronic voting machines are a totally pathetic joke, and everyone freaks out over every point..

I'm utterly sick of the entire process at this point.. lol
