http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/10/any-chance-cali.htmlBeing a Los Angelino myself, I can reassure you by saying that not a single person I'm aware of is planning to vote early. They all plan on voting next Tuesday - but they do plan to vote. It's probably largely because the studio gives us a few paid hours off on election day....

[cacophony]

this is why i keep saying mccain could surprise us all with a win. we've all been inundated with images and poll numbers from the vocal masses who wish to be counted. but i think what none of us are counting on are the silent voters who don't want to be polled, don't go to rallies, but feel an unwillingness to support obama for whatever reason.

i think we're going to see much larger numbers for mccain come election day than any of the polls would lead us to expect at this point.

[dubman]

wait
why would old people not want to be polled
old people always want to tell you about themselves
about whats right.
besides voting early sounds like something the elderly would preoccupy themselves with, and has been a staple of the republican party through several cycles. this time its the democrats that have the edge.
also you know who the polls dont count in? cell phones
imagine all the students/youth who dont bother with a land line not being asked who they're going to vote for.

seems the opposite of what i thought would happen is going on. the closer we get, the less i'm worried.
my family is a worried mess though.

incidentally I was speaking about polls in utah but I just *know* its the same everywhere. anyway, you're going to need more than a couple hours on election day because I needed a 3 hour lunch to do early voting last week.

so if everyone who does have something better to do during the day than watch murder she wrote and buy another lotto scratch sheet is arguing they can pile up on nov 4 it might not work out so well.

just saying...

[Deckard]

Obviously no vote, but I'll send some vibes.

Good grief, our countries are more similar than I realised.
I wonder if Iranian daytime TV is running old MSW episodes as well?

[cacophony]

don't fret, guys. california may turn red but georgia may turn blue. some polls have obama up by a point over mccain. friggin' unheard of.

wouldn't doubt it. its pure porn for the elderly. the wish fulfillment of being in everyone's shit all the time *and* providing a valuable service to the community.

Why?

[dubman]

california may turn red .

yr on crazy pills today

[gambit]

I think Montana has a better chance of going blue (the RNC is now spending money on tv ads) than California of going red. But hell, it may not even matter by the time it gets to the Mountain Time Zone.

And Strangelet, I'd consider voting early if every day wasn't so damn booked solid lately. I'll wait in line as long as it takes on Tuesday though....

[IsiliRunite]

Kah-lee-forn-yah? Red?! Not possible. ;)

[cacophony]

Why?
because although the american south historically supported the democratic party, the death grip of the bible belt has turned the region unswervingly republican. it would be shocking to say the least if any of the holy trinity of ignorance (georgia, alabama, mississippi) turned blue in this election.
