Early Democratic voters are outnumbering Republicans in key states
Democratic early voters outnumber Republicans in key states, according to incomplete election statistics, suggesting a surprising break from traditional trends.
Democrat Kenneth Brown of Clayton County, Georgia, waited for hours Tuesday to vote for Sen. Barack Obama.
Just a week before a historic Election Day, registered Democrats in North Carolina are out-voting Republicans by a nearly 2-to-1 margin, according to official election statistics.
The state is seen as a crucial battleground for Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama.
The turnout by Democrats also appears to be higher in at least two other battleground states, Colorado and Nevada, whose electoral votes could make the difference for either White House hopeful.
As of Tuesday, at least 9,813,052 ballots had been cast in 31 states that allow early, in-person or absentee voting without having to provide an excuse. The figures are based on reports from state election officials.
Of those votes, at least 1.2 million ballots have been cast by registered Democrats and at least 731,200 by registered Republicans.
As with early voting statistics in every state — these are not election results. Voters who are registered with a political party don't always vote for that party's candidates.
Despite the added pressure of long lines it is not stopping people from waiting to vote. I thought that it was a long wait of an hour to vote… Then I hear in Cogg County in Georgia people waited 12 hours to vote. I am thinking if their is a problem with voting shouldn't we try to fix it? There is no reason that anyone should be out to 1:00am in the morning voting…

Michael Salvage Endorses McCain
On October 27, 2008 Michael Salvage endorsed John McCain for President. The rational that he used just does not make any sense to me… He does not like Obama because he is a Socialist, and he is determined to believe that picking Obama will be the demise of the economy. So is this a joke? The economy is pretty ruff now, why would he think that Obama would make it worse?. So Salvage rational for him picking McCain is? None, actually the only reason that he is picking McCain is because he does not want to see Obama win! Salvage says McCain has Socialist ways plus he is going to follow in Bush footsteps, how can you not like anything the man does then be willing to endorse him?
I would never believe that Salvage is Racist, but is picking a Black Obama really that bad? Salvage slams people that don't believe what he does. They are stupid for not being able to see what Obama is really about… Unfortunately these clowns Hannity, Limbaugh, and Salvage would rather have another Bush, than a change. They are not affected by the declining economy, as a matter of fact each one of these indivduals make multi millions a year. From what I have determined If you or anyone else is loosing their home, they are not going to shell out a dime to help you! They don't mind leading us into the arms of McCain, so while we are slaughtered like innocent sheep they will watch and say don't worry folks its going to get better soon… I listen in disbelief that any of these bafoons does not want better for our United States.
The only thing that I can say is vote, and bring a friend to vote, because if we don't who will?
