svelteParticipant[quote=partypup]This is nothing less than fascinating, people.
RealClearPolitics has now dropped Obama’s EC votes down to 278 as the most of the country drops into the toss up category. If more states have now been thrown into the toss-up category this weekend, this would seem to be momentum for McCain-Palin. On Friday Obama had a 179 EC lead and since then he has lost over 50 EC votes. That is a lot of erosion in one weekend.

[/quote]It is a little disconcerting to watch, but the Obama camp has always said the race would tighten. In some ways it is good, since it will encourage voters from both sides to actually mosey over to the polls to cast their ballots, so the final result accurately represent the desire of the US electorate as best it can.
I’m still confident.

svelteParticipant[quote=partypup]More evidence (from Gallup) that no candidate should ever count on slackers to put them over the top. A surge in youth voting was one of the foundations of an Obama victory…
“Update: Little Evidence of Surge in Youth Vote
While Gallup data do suggest that voter turnout among young people will be high this year (as it was in 2004) compared to historical turnout rates, the data do not suggest that it will be appreciably higher than in 2004. [/quote]
There are three measures of youth participation:
– Total Number of Votes
– The Turnout Rate: percentage of eligible young voters who cast a ballot.
– The Share of the Electorate: percentage of entire voting electorate.“According to the Florida voter file, (which should be viewed as relatively but not 100% accurate) in 2004, approximately 392,888 voters between 18-35 voted early or absentee. So far 499,867 voters between 18-35 have voted early or absentee this year. This is a 27 percent increase over 2004.”
Your quote is based on the turnout rate.
My quote is based on the total number of votes.
Each, as of right now, is telling a different story. Believe the one you want to believe.
