According to Rendell Blacks are turning out

[nadinbrzezinski]

in higher numbers than 2006...

Them analysts will have some egg in face.

MSNBC right now

1. How soon before the MSM predicts that most of them came out to vote against Obama?

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. First polls close in fifteen

and we are going to see an average election... you heard it here...

Them kids are voting and they don't have land lines.

[PA Democrat]

3. Turn out in my very white, very Republican precinct was

much lower today than in '08.

[Contrary1]

9. Thank a Tea Party member...

I believe that by their craziness they may have screwed the pooch.

[OHdem10]

4. Great!! I just came on to post.

Rendell said watch this carefully. Philly AfricanAmerican
turn out very very good by 4 pm. already exceeding 2006.

5. Yeha, would love to see that egg on their faces besides this is good

for America. Hope this holds and turns this thing around.

8. He also said it looks like the Republicans are going to take the

house and maybe the Senate. Then goes on about what Obama has to do tomorrow. He has to compromise on tax cuts to the rich and agree to changes in the HCR bill. So it didn't sound optimistic at all to me.

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Turn out is about 90 million nation wide

higher than 2006... and starting with Steele on Saturday the Pugs are playing down expectations. That mens they know something we don't.

[CitizenLeft]

6. I thought so.

Black radio has been pushing GOTV very VERY hard - non-stop, every single day for the last 6 weeks. Once again, the most loyal Democratic constituency has been ignored and underestimated. I hope it's true. Never considered "likely voter," never considered at all.

I hope it's enough.

I'm gonna cry. :)

[A Cooper]

7. I live in Hyde :Park

The area that I live in is predominately black and the turn out is high. This is where Obama lives and we love him around here and maybe that is why the turn out is so high.

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Good to hear and welcome to DU

:hi:

[A Cooper]

15. Thanks

:hi:

12. "We got your back."

And we're fed up with racist Teabaggers. ALL of us dems, not just black democrats.

[Beetwasher]

13. I Really Think A Lot Of More Moderate Repubs Are Going To Stay Home

I think all the "enthusiasm" from the Repubs is from the Tea Baggers, who are really just the Repub base anyway.

Meanwhile, all the talk of the Dems getting decimated has really motivated Dems.

We'll see.

[RamboLiberal]

14. Please, please, please

I'd love to see Sestak win in PA! And if Onorato could pull it off to win as Gov that would sure be some icing on the PA cake. Plus there will be a few RW idiots on radio here in Pittsburgh blubbering tonight and tomorrow!

On edit according to PG turnout is very good in SW PA. Of course some of the areas mentioned in the story are Repub areas. Still.

At the University of Pittsburgh, a student polling place in Posvar Hall was inundated by 2:30 p.m. About 100 people lined up to vote. Some said they had been waiting for more than 45 minutes.

"This is like the presidential election," said judge of elections Alethea Sims, breathlessly trying to move voters through.

Michael Woodhull, a 20-year-old Pitt junior from Washington, D.C., said the scene stood in stark contrast to the last election in which he voted: He showed up about 2 p.m. and hardly anyone was there.

-----

Just inside the school doors, Democratic Committeewoman Fran Schomburger was happy that 250 people in her largely blue municipality had come out to vote by 10:15 a.m. She called that turnout "not quite presidential, but very good."
