Is it possible that due to early voting this election could be over before it gets to the west coast

In other words, maybe we have already won the election?

1. Except we won't know until election night a week from now. n/t

2. Possible, but Don't EVEN suggest that. EVERYONE needs to vote regardless. NO LETTING UP. Period.

Make this an effing landslide.

4. I agree, and I wasn't suggesting that people assume anything /nt

[Danieljay]

5. Ya. I didn't assume you were. That being said, some people might! Get out the vote!!! n/t

6. Even a 'landslide' isn't enough. EVERY vote counts ... nothing short of CRUSHING the GOP will do.

The wider the margin then the greater the motivation to make it even wider. Be a part of history in the most lop-sided defeat of the GOP ever ... or at least since the Great Depression.

It's about time the people of this country woke up and stopped voting themselves into subservience to tyrants!

10. Well, shitfire.

I've been enjoying my subservience.

3. Early voting doesn't roll across the country from east to west -

California has early voting (around 2 million voters so far, according to this article: http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/10/27/early-voting-update-democratic-voters-get-the-edge/?mod=googlenews_wsj )

So do most of the western states.

7. the percentage of people voting early is not enough to declare we've won before 11/4

People need to be encouraged to get out and vote if they haven't already voted.

8. Could be

If Obama wins Virginia and Florida early then the door will be shut on McCain. As for West Coasters not voting I don't see that. Everyone will want to say they voted for Obama. I am in CA and not early voting, haven't decided if I'll vote in the morning or very late in the day.

9. possible, but even more possible that they can't steal it this time

thanks to early voting.

11. "In other words, maybe we have already won the election?"

Without giving them a chance to flip the central tabulators?

Nope.

[deaniac21]

12. It's already over.
