From my earlier post:
-------
44k Rep
36k Dem

80k Total

I think Randy is right and would up my total to 90k if Fred is still viable in the Prez race. As you can see I'm saying 55% Repub assuming Fred is not viable. That 90k total would obviously push that percentage up as well (52,000 Rep / 38,000 Dem)

I think Fred will show well in South Carolina. Personally, I think it may be too little too late for him.

So I was wrong about Fred showing well in South Carolina. He was marginally better than his earlier contests, but not good enough. So with Fred out, I predicted 80k (55% Republican, 45% Democrat).

With 7k-8k today, that may put me close.

We have odds on this stuff?

With mail ballots & early voting thats the Democratic Primary vote total.

So for my 33,000 prediction to be right

21,065 more folks got to vote in the primary.

I'm betting it's gonna happen.

I guess it all comes down to what percentage of the vote early voting comprises. I'm banking on 40-45%. I think there are too many folks still undecided for EV percentages to reach the totals of years past.

The other school of thought is to believe we continue on the path towards more EV than election day. You could also assume that there are a lot of strong feelings this time around causing people to head to the polls at the earlist opportunity.

I believe we see huge turnouts on election day.

I agree on huge turnout Tuesday. I think so much has happend during early voting that people may be waiting.

I agree. I talked with a couple of Edwards voters yesterday that had intended to vote early. They are completely at a loss now. The same could be said for Fred voters in TN. I guess some of those folks may not come out now, but I'm guessing most will.

Sorry - I forgot what my login was for this joint. Forgive the unverified name!

Anyway, Political Knoxville has posted 51 campaign finance disclosure forms for this year's primary, as well as four bonus CFDs of interest: County Mayor Mike Ragsdale, Cindy Buttry, Billy Tindell, and the Public Trust PAC.

(link...)

The remainder are in-house and just need to be scanned. They should be available Friday evening or Saturday afternoon at the latest.

I posted this elsewhere, but wanted to make sure I had spread the word sufficiently. My apologies in advance if such a practice is offensive.
