Justin Higgins says that OH won’t release EV data separately: (Snip) So says Gannett’s Cincinnati.com, which has the data from the state government posted at its site this morning. I put the question mark on the data because I don’t see anything up yet at the Ohio Secretary of State’s website, but occasionally the media will get updates prior to the website. According to the data, Mitt Romney already has 697,143 votes before the polls opened a couple of

Ohio will go Romney. On Chik-Fil-A day? People came out of the woodwork and stood in line for an hour for a chicken sandwich.
That is all you need to know about the silent majority in Ohio.

I am such a wreck today. I'm praying that Romney wins with the Bryan Preston model (315 EC) but I'm also praying that, no matter which way it goes, we're up to doing whatever it is God needs us to do.
I get stressed out every election, but I don't think it's ever been this bad.
And, as Jonah Goldberg wrote, the importance of the presidential election means our country has been going in the wrong direction for a long time. The Feds should not be so important.

I grew up in Ohio. The liberals refer to Ohio and all the other Midwestern states as "fly-over country." They have nothing but contempt for Ohioans and all other blue-collar, Midwestern voters.
That contempt is misplaced. The Midwest is the heart and soul of America. (Ok; I'm biased.) The people there are NOT stupid. Yes, some of them can be bribed. But keep praying that there will not be enough bribed voters to overcome the normal, good, common-sense voters of Ohio.
I'm confident in the people I grew up with.
Keep praying, and anyone in a swing state quit reading this RIGHT NOW and get down to party headquarters and start making phone calls. You won't be able to sit still anyway all day, so you may as well do something with all that nervous energy.
Keep the faith, L-dotters.
Iago is nervously optimistic.

Moe Lane said that Gannett's data is BAD, it doesn't match up with the county-by-county table of past elections.
Don't let reports positive or negative get you complacent or discouraged.
Ignore reports, just go vote. Vote for the other GOP candidates too. Rack up the vote totals so that even Dem pols who win will worry in the future about going too far left.

Seems like I was just in the Obama base looney bin at my precinct. A Zero supporter (who was disabled in a wheelchair) was saying that Obama gives him free money. I told him Obama doesn't give him anything - the taxpayers do. To which he replied - but not the republicans!? How does one argue with such illogic? lol
Had another woman behind me who it seems just rolled out of bed and found out the election was today. Kept stating she didn't know who to vote for - sister-in-law kept telling her to vote Obama - even though she kept repeating to me there are no jobs, people losing their homes, etc. So I asked her why she would even consider Zero - and her answer was well Mitt is Rich - but she also conceded so was Zero. Told her she needs to be a more active citizen and get informed.
Last tidbit - my 19 year old son was going to cast his first ballot today - except some moron at the Secretary of State office in September of 2011 didn't do her job and therefore he was not on the roll.
Pray and keep fingers crossed ALL day! President Romney & Vice President Ryan - yeah I like the sound of that!

ALERT
I just learned that about the same time I was formatting this article to post here, one of Ed Morrissey’s sources — Cincinnati.com — published a retraction:
A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning.
Please read the full retraction here:
http://news.cincinnati.com/proart/20121106/cinci/121106009/early-votes-not-yet-counted-ohio?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|&pagerestricted=1
But still, it is common practice for news sources to pre-write their articles (such as obits for celebrities) in accordance with their anticipation. So why did that Cincinnati (Gannett) news source anticipate a Romney/Ryan win?

There were few complaints at the Woodruff polls as South Carolina´s new voter photo ID requirement was enforced for the first time in Spartanburg County. The re-do election for mayor in Woodruff is the first Spartanburg County election since the photo ID requirement went into effect Jan. 1. The law requires voters to show a S.C. driver´s license, Department of Motor Vehicles ID card, voter registration card with photo, federal military ID or a United States passport to cast a ballot. (Snip) The law was passed in 2012 as a measure to combat voter fraud, according to proponents.

To the world beyond the Beltway, it might not mean much that Bob Woodward of the famed Watergate duo went public with his recent White House run-in. This would be an oversight. (Snip) Distrust of media, encouraged by alternative media seeking to enhance their own standing, has become a tool useful to the very powers the Fourth Estate was constitutionally endowed to monitor. When the president can bypass reporters to reach the public, it is not far-fetched to imagine a time — perhaps now? — when the state controls the message.

There are two stories circulating around Bob Woodward this morning. (Snip) But the White House also wanted the issue to disappear until after the election, so in conjunction with Congress it proposed (and the President specifically endorsed) an enforcement mechanism called sequestration. In exchange for agreeing to a package of $1.2T in cuts with no revenues as a failsafe, Republicans agreed to raise the debt limit high enough that it would not be reached until after the election. The significant point is that the trigger for sequestration was not the same date as the implementation date.

This just in from our Republican Insider, who has been very busy of late regarding the impending sequestration conflict that is being played out 24/7 by the Mainstream Media and the Obama White House. (Snip) Word of that compromise got out and reached the White House. I am guessing it was someone working for Reid who relayed that information. Regardless, it was the very next day that a staffer for one of the Senators working the compromise deal received word from Legislative Affairs to not under any circumstances continue to produce a compromise, or publicize any such deal.

(Snip) First he begins his answer by stating, “There has never been a drone used on an American citizen on American soil.” Barack Obama doesn’t say there never will be – or that he never intends to do so…he instead chooses – deliberatly, to say that such a thing has not happened…YET.. The president then gets into the meat of his prepared statement

Stand by the Double Robotics booth at the Macworld trade show, and you hear the same thing over and over again as people walk by: "I would never have to leave the house again." Or: "I would never have to go to the office again." That´s the reaction to the Double, a remote-controlled robot stand that will be available this spring for $2,000. (Snip) Insert an iPad on top of the Double and download the company's app on that iPad and another iOS device. Use the second iOS device to steer the Double from miles away. The robot uses sensors and gyroscopes (much like the Segway) to stay balanced.

A brief update from a Republican Insider fighting to renew conservative principles and defeat the globalist Big Government liberalism of Barack Obama and his supporters. (Snip) Last week the president was ready to go all in on the executive order scenario. Confiscation was going to be in play. Then the backlash came and it forced Obama to back off. He didn’t want to but after Reid said it was a no go, and the NRA was preparing to go to war with the White House, the president was given a revised script and that is what we heard this morning.

Just moments before President Barack Obama was to speak to reporters during a surprise press conference, our Republican Insider sends this message of warning to all those opposed to the big government globalist agenda of the Obama White House and Democratic and Republican leadership. (Snip) The Mainstream Media has avoided any mention of Brennan’s significant role in the Benghazi tragedy. Only some of the secondary media have discussed it which means about 90% of Americans have no clue how involved the guy is with not only the policies that led to that fiasco, but more importantly, the cover-up that followed.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
