Rove Nay - Early Voting Yeah

Yes, Rove is saying he is responsible for the success of the Democrats up to this point.

Whatever.

The interesting part of the article identifies how extensive the early voting actually is.

Its far greater than what I had imagined. Its going to be hard to shift the election in the next week if the majority of voters are already accounted for.

The Australian: Rove tips hat to Democrat imitators
The electoral map on Rove's own website shows pivotal states such as Ohio, Virginia and Colorado, which voted for Bush in 2004, tumbling to Obama. According to his projection, if the election were held tomorrow, Obama would win 306 electoral college votes to McCain's 171, with 61 too close to call.

Nearly a million people have cast their votes in Georgia and more than 600,000 in Florida. It could be a sign of a coming "electoral tsunami" for Obama, according to Rove - or merely proof that reliable voters have cast their ballots early.

In North Carolina, formerly a solidly Republican state, 210,000 African-Americans registered as Democrats have already voted, compared with a total of 174,000 registered Republicans of all races. Blacks have made up 31 per cent of early voters so far, even though they form 21 per cent of the population.
