2. Not that I've seen.

And actually, regardless of cell phones and Bradley effect - most polls actually do call it right. But nothing wrong with hoping. (ps. check your spelling on precedent).

5. ...thx, but EVERY model this year I've seen does not include the rise in early voting numbers...

...compared to the last mid term election.

There are PLENTY that compare to 08 election because MSM is full of assholes who want to push the doom gloom meme.

7. Maybe

Early voting is still a very new thing, so we don't have too many historical cases to draw from.

9. Right, I was reading it was tracked in 04 but saw heavy dem turn out in 06 & 08 and heavy turn out..

8. Early voting is too new to make credible comparisons.

Just over the past few cycles many states have made it much easier to vote early than it has been in the past, I think we will have to wait and see.
