The problem with bold predictions is that they're often wrong. Two weeks ago, the Mitt Romney Florida campaign predicted to Bloomberg that Republicans would head into election day leading Democrats in early and absentee votes already cast:

...Brett Doster, a Romney campaign consultant in Florida, said Democrats voting by mail likely are the ones who otherwise would have voted early in person. Republican voters still will cast more ballots in Florida before election day polls open, he said. “I’m confident we’re going to have that advantage,” Doster said...

Sorry Brett, not going to happen.

About 3.5 million Floridians have already cast absentee and in-person early voting and Democrats have an edge of about 76,000 ballots cast so far.
Expect that to continue to grow over the next two days of in-person early voting, which Democrats dominate, especially in South Florida, which is why the GOP Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott effectively shortened early voting days. Democrats have rolled up a 156,000 early vote edge while Republicans lead in absentee ballots case by about 80,000. If every Democrat and Republican who requested an absentee ballot voted it, the GOP absentee-ballot lead would be cut by half.

It's going to be close.

Latest PPP poll has it tied.

Obviously if the President takes Florida he not only will get 270 Electoral College Votes, he will be headed towards 320 or above.

1. Look at these lines!

And yet Gov. Scott refuses to extend EV to Sunday!
It's outrageous.

2. This is sickening to see. Why can't they open more polling locations!

For heaven's sake. This is a form of poll tax, making people devote a day to express their views.

Disgraceful!

All those people in those long lines are true patriots and heroes in my mind. Thank you x 1,000,000

11. They can't win legit. That's why they gotta suppress the vote

That is a pure SQUAD coming down the lines on these pictures!!
Don't EVER try to block our votes again!
This makes me so happy to see us out in force ready to destroy these stall tactics from the racist Republicans.

Keep an eye on these thieves trying to steal it for Romney & we got this in the bag.
