Only a tweet from them, more coming soon.

It was a 49-47 lead for Romney a week and a half ago. Obama has a 57-42 lead among early voters

1. Boom!

2. OMG! That makes me both tear up and chuckle to myself at the same time.

GO HEELS!!!!!



Edit: I guess this little guy is actually saying "GO TAR HEELS!"

3. My God if we can get over 300 EV's

I will actually listen to RW radio for the (2nd) time in my life...last time after the 08 election ...


I want to hear them whine and moan after the damage they have done to this nation

4. Very good to see that

Probably the '08 Obama state I'd assumed to be most likely to fall to Romney (other than IN), so it's great to see poll results so close this late in the game...

5. Romney's people never left NC either.

Only a few workers left to go to Ohio. There is a reason.

6. I read a lot of Dems from SC are heading up to help GOTV there.

Wonderful people, one and all!

7. That's great, they need to intensify NC

if it's now tied.

Never believed that enthusiasm gap crap to begin with.

10. I think we may go blue by 1-2%

It is going to be a nailbiter here, I think!

12. But ... but ... but ... PPP sucks! I read it right here at DU!

13. It still does.

14. NC will be tough.

The numbers are encouraging, but it might take more than a 57-42 lead in early voting to turn it blue. Unfortunately, it seems that older white voters are one of the groups holding out until election day and we know which way they'll be voting. I'm not holding out much hope of winning NC, but forcing Romney to spend time and money there could be very valuable.
