Hey, Democrats, how's that early voting strategy going? (Part II)

Absentee ballots in Ohio showing dramatic shift from 2008 - and I mean that in a good way.

I haven't lived in Ohio for 30+ years, but I'm still relatively familiar with the state and have lived in Michigan for the past decade+.

If these results are accurate [and I have no reason to believe they are not] then Obama is about to get swamped in Ohio.

Seriously. For instance, Darke County has moved [so far -- it could still change again since early voting is just getting started] from strongly D to strongly R, and Lima, OH is in Darke and is a blue-collar manufacturing city, mostly.

Columbus [and Ohio State] moving so much toward R is a real tell.

I think the polls are screwed up, given this.

Early voting in Ohio started on Tuesday. I cast my vote on Wednesday (simply couldn't wait any longer). There wasn't an overwhelming crowd, but there was a pretty steady stream of voters for a weekday morning.

Washington is a vote-by-mail state, and I still can't wait to get my ballot, so I can vote for Romney, against Obama, and extend "half a peace sign" to the collective idiocy also known as "Progressives", "Lefties", or better yet, Communists.

And that's in spite the fact that Washington is likely to go blue, thanks to the People's Republic of Western Washington.

Good news, but the caveat is to keep the powder dry, because if it is close they WILL cheat.

Tell the next pro-illegal (alien, dead, or comatose) voter that their vote was by cancelled by a illegal. They will really be glad that they stopped the voter ID laws.

I must add that, when I went to vote, I started to get out my driver's license, since ID has always been asked for before. The lady at the table held up her hand and told me I might not need it. Immediately the mental alarms went off, but I bit back a caustic remark and went to do my duty.

How I smiled when I was required to write down my driver's license number in two different places. For the record, they required two other alternate proofs of ID in lieu of a driver's license, so I was satisfied.
