ruh-roh......Truth is, nobody knows what will happen on Election Day. But here is what we do know: 220,000 fewer Democrats have voted early in Ohio compared with 2008. And 30,000 more Republicans have cast their ballots compared with four years ago. That is a 250,000-vote net increase for a state Obama won by 260,000 votes in 2008.
220,000 fewer Democrats have voted early in Ohio compared with 2008
Four years ago, Democrats made up about 42% of the early and absentee vote while Republicans made up 22% - a dismal 20-point deficit that contributed to Sen. John McCain's defeat in Ohio.
Through Wednesday, however, the margin has narrowed: Democrats account for 36% of the early and absentee vote while Republicans make up for 29%.
Republicans are outperforming their voter registration in several of the state's biggest counties.
Additionally, a Republican National Committee source told CNN that among early voters not identifying with any party, RNC modeling has tagged 30.5% as Romney supporters and 24.9% as Obama supporters.
If correct, that gives the GOP a 5.6-point edge among unaffiliated early and absentee voters.
Here is a closer snapshot of where things stand in the battleground states where in-person early voting is allowed.
COLORADO
A total of 325,810 votes have been cast so far 126,539 from registered Republicans and 120,965 from registered Democrats, plus 75,030 from unaffiliated voters.
FLORIDA
So far, 925,604 mail-in absentee ballots have been cast 414,016 from Republicans and 363,881 from Democrats. Early in-person voting has not started yet in Florida. It kicks off on Saturday, Oct. 27.
IOWA
Voters have cast 399,858 ballots in the state with 183,780 from Democrats and 126,872 from Republicans. Democrats currently have the advantage, but Republicans said they were performing much better than they were in Iowa at this point in 2008. At the same point in 2008, Democrats had about a 24-percentage-point lead in the early vote, Republicans said, whereas this year its about 8 percentage points.
NEVADA
Democrats boast the advantage over Republicans 101,935 to 79,058 among the 218,616 votes cast so far statewide.
OHIO
A total of 808,051 ballots have been cast so far with 618,861 absentee ballots returned and 189,190 additional in-person votes. Ohio does not register voters by party. Numbers are up in rural and urban counties, which bodes well for both Republicans and Democrats.
VIRGINIA
Virginia allows for in-person ballot casting ahead of Election Day but state officials call it it in-person absentee voting and voters need an excuse to do it.
In any event, 247,862 votes already have been cast. The state does not register by party, but the Obama campaign reported earlier this week that more ballots have been cast in precincts Obama won than precincts McCain won. However, the Republican National Committee pointed out that absentee and early voter activity is down from 2008 in the Democratic counties of Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax, and its up in Republican-leaning Loudoun County.
WISCONSIN
Wisconsin is the great unknown. Every municipality in the state handles its election procedures differently. There are more local election officials in Wisconsin than in the entire rest of the country combined. As a result, the state doesnt report out complete numbers of their early and absentee votes as they come in. To make matters even more vague, voters dont register by party in Wisconsin either.

I shudder to think what he may try to do if he loses the election in that last 85 days
wow... no comments from the libtard masses... I guess they can't deny the truth any longer.

I just don't see how Obama can win Ohio with Romney leading by 13% with swing voters. Not to mention Obama lost his lead among women
