Early voters
It seems to me that people who vote early are those who are MORE likely to have made up their minds and LESS open to having it changed, than people who wait to vote on election day.

If you were undecided or weak on your choice, you'd wait till the last minute to cast your vote. I'm not saying everyone who voted early was solidly behind their choice, but greater than average.

Also, every election features at least SOME early voting via absentee ballots.

1. Early voting will play a role, but I think Giuliani is proof it may not decide an election.

2. but Keith did a segment tonight, and I was shocked that more than 50% of
people said that endorsements do matter to them. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of Florida voters had early voted long before S.C. & the Kennedy endorsements, I think Obama would have come a whole lot closer had they waited.

3. I agree, but Obama wasn't campaigning in Florida.
So you can't really compare the two states.
