On an aside and non-partisan note, I wonder if the late Great Johnny Unitas would say: "Polls are cheap, let's vote."

More anecdotal, but seemingly positive, data:

Hopefully these trends continue and are enough.

Re: Election Day 2012 Thread
The problem with "turnout up in XYZ county" messages is that in general (looking at totals not specific counties) we don't want a significantly higher combined turnout than 2008. We want, overall, like the same turnout except less Dems, more GOP. If the absolute totals are higher than it could be same Dems, more GOP, which I don't think is enough.
Obviously we are getting reports of GOP county up, Dem county down, which are good (but better the more lopsided the county is in terms of turnout), but I hope the overall turnout isn't totally off the charts, that would likely mean Dems are turning out closer to 2008 levels than we want.

Combined with same-day registration, and this stuff could hurt.
