Likely voter models would be off if a ton of people registered to vote today

Polling could have missed the mark with all the new people unions got to register today. My guess is, if the person said they were not registered but they were intending to vote, polling ferms probably threw it out.

All the people registering today is a huge lift for Barrett.

The teabaggers registered and voted R in 2010. So I figure most of the new registrations now are likely D.

Which makes sense since they were attacked and their livelihood is on the line. They are taking this personal and putting everything into this. If we win it will be because the Unions worked their asses off.
