The bolded part -- that about 2/3rds of the projected total voters are by mail.

The Field poll put it at a much lower percentage (40-something, I forget the exact number). The Field poll also put the numbers going to Hillary and Obama as roughly equal, and it still could be that since it's just one county vs. the whole state, the Field poll is right. Just a worry. (Mail would tend to favor Hillary since Obama's momentum has been fairly recent.)



Also, about two-thirds of 63 percent would be around 40 percent so it is probably still within the range cited by the Field poll.

Ah, didn't notice the bolded part. For some reason, on my monitor, bold text barely has any distinction when used in the quote boxes. Bold text appears properly when not enclosed in the quote boxes.

On mine too, its annoying...

That's a good point. "Dropped off today" is virtually equivalent to "voted today."

Oh and I looked up the Field poll stat, it was 43% mail ballots.

Survey USA really taps the Hillary-likers, doesn't it? Hope they're the ones who are wrong, anyway. (Appreciating the continuing graphs...)

No laptop, Dell Flatscreen monitor with desktop CPU.

I might have to drive to Berkeley and kiss your feet if you came up with a way to fix that. :wink:

The Field poll was already of "likely voters" though. So it would seem to be ~67% vs. 43%.

But county vs. state is a major variable. I think I remember reading that not all counties allow mail-in ballots (that might have even been in your recent link -- it took about 10 minutes to load and I already closed it, so I won't check) (how can you tolerate dial-up? I'm going insane here Laughing), plus some counties are more likely than others to have a greater percentage of mail-in voters, etc.

Anyway, just a spare thought, not worth how much I've written about it so far.

More graphs!

With such an emphasis on videos lately, I have grown much less tolerant of dial-up and am looking for ways to trim my budget some more so I might be able to afford the start up costs to get DSL.

Unverified: Howard Dean now says (on MSNBC) that the decision re: MI and FL will be left to the Credentials Committee who will be elected by the democrats.

By the way, in the WV Repub winner-take-all caucus, Huckabee was ahead of McCain and Romney. McCain essententially pulled out, with his fans directed to go to Huckabee in order to deprive Romney of 18 delegates.
The polls close in GA at 7 pm and then a bunch more at 8 pm ET.
See yall here for as long as you can stay awake!

I get the same thing at 1200x800 with normal... hmm... let me look into it. It may be an artifact of having a high resolution.

Bold

Larger Bold[/size]

Even the larger doesn't look too much bolder too me, crazy

Again the last Survey USA poll has Hill much higher than the other polls do.. so lets just hope that their last polling batch was off somehow (in California too).

Doesn't it have to be? I mean, it showed her 12-15% higher then Obama in something like 7 different states. Contra to many other polls.

Flawed questioning, is what that screams to me.

I hear Romney is "giving birth to smelly bricks" over the WV results.
