The "enthusiasm" voters tend to turn out early, which often portends a democratic victory in these kinds of states. But then the GOP "base" that votes in every election "catches up" during the day. I care less about how many ballots are voted, than I do WHERE they are voted. In certain areas, the odds are better. In other, they tend to work against us.
