Exit Poll Anxiety

In a conference call this afternoon, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign had one central message for their supporters when Election Day arrives tomorrow: They should “keep calm,” even if they hear snippets of information favoring Republican Mitt Romney.

“My warning, we need to stay calm for much of the day,” Stephanie Cutter, Mr. Obama’s deputy campaign manager, said, touting thousands of early ballots already submitted by voters. “We’ve already banked a pretty big portion of our vote.”

This is noteworthy on a few counts.

First, it is Republicans who generally have gotten needlessly freaked out by exit polling, in part, we suspect, because exit pollsters don’t get an accurate sampling and/or Republicans don’t like to talk to them. That Cutter should be warning her troops is, to put it mildly, odd.

Second, if the Obama camp really has “banked a pretty big portion of [their] vote” they are in trouble. As has been widely reported, early voting is down especially in Democratic strongholds. I’ll give a few examples. In Summit County, Ohio (where Akron is located), about 47,000 Dems voted early in 2008; this year that number is 22,000. (By contrast 12,000 Republicans voted early in 2008; this time 14,500 have.)

Likewise in Virginia, Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report tweets that “182,545 absentees have been cast in VA’s Kerry/Obama counties, 152,142 in Bush/McCain. In ‘08, it was 228,043 to 175,792.”

What the point of the endless Republican sore loser threads? They're not going to change the outcome.

You don't see any liberals feeling the necessity to post whistling-past-the-graveyard threads. There's quiet confidence on the liberal side. Tells you all you need to know.

See you in 12 hours, cranks. We'll see how many of you are left then.

Does this seem a little odd?

“My warning, we need to stay calm for much of the day........

Does that mean until Obama concedes? Then what?
