    Repugs:

    "massive, widespread polling fraud is as bad as massive, widespread voting fraud."

    I'm not sure it's a good idea for the political process that these numbers are released.
    for example, in my state, Virginia, we can't vote early and we are already anticipating horrendous lines. Could be a 4 or 5 hour wait in some areas. If Obama supporters start thinking this is in the bag, they may choose not to spend half a day at the polls. And this is a battleground state as everyone knows,

    I think you are wrong. a winner likes to pile on, and losers give up....it will be the neocons who will stop voting.
    I like to pile on to. But the more I think about this, the more I worry about Virginia. Considering that it took well over 3 hours in line on a random Saturday just to renew my drivers license, I can see the wait being even longer than 5 hours in many places. Not everyone can do that and if people think this thing is already won by 20 points, as much as they want to be part of the process, I can see them giving up after a couple hours in line.

    on the other hand, perhaps you're right and it will be the neo-cons giving up. I hope so, but it makes me nervous. Like Obama says... Democrats have a habit of snatching defeat from the hands of victory.

    Early voting in GA had lines of 5 hours, that's EARLY voting.

    Multi-hour waits in bad weather (cold, rain, wind) discourages anybody.

    The US voting system is a national disgrace. Open to tampering at worst, unreliable at best, just ridiculous.

    Where Repugs are the voting administrators, they will do everything possible to impede and discourage voters.

    Man after already waiting for an hour you might as well go ahead and finish waiting....

    just so we're clear, we are not talking about me here. I intend to vote no matter what. But not everyone can take the day, or even half a day, off work as I am doing.

    Tell the unreliable youth and minority voters that it's already in the bag. Scare the reliable white voters, old voters, and jewish voters. Is that a strategy or a tactic?

    Jelly I think you're absolutely right, but thankfully the Obama camp has the best GOTV organization that any presidential campaign has ever had. Future campaigns will be funded by the template left by this campaign and they will also model future ground games on it. Its truly revolutionary.
