This is where i chime in (and its very relevant here in this case) to remind/inform people that in the Italian language "macedonia" means fruit salad

I can't wait to tell my brother in law that the forwards and shares he throws all over facebook come from a teenager in fruit salad.

That should confuse him quite well.

Saw a blurb that with early voting so far, Clinton leads NC but trails FL and OH.

If I'm not mistaken, NV is the only state that actually posts results of early voting, so what you're seeing elsewhere is numbers based on party affiliation only.

The local newspaper here is reporting that Republican early voting is up 13% from 2012 and that Democrat is "slightly down" (no number give), but that unaffiliated is up by a whopping 40%, so which way that breaks is definitely going to be the deciding factor.

Party affiliation is obviously a bit harder to predict in the south too, when you've still got some old-fashioned Dixie-crats who, while registered as Dems, tend to vote Repub.

I'd guess you're just seeing a slight reversal from the FBI announcing there would be no charges. There was a distinct trend in Trump's favor after they announced they were re-opening the investigation, so closing it is probably shifting some people back.

That makes sense just like the DOW trending up after the investigation was closed.

Yeah, today's results were good for a lot of 401k plans, that's for sure.

I would expect tomorrow will be relatively flat and then Wednesday will see a big move, with the direction depending on who wins.

I did see one thing, a "leak" as it were, showing that registered republicans early voting numbers are up in both Ohio and Florida. However, the leak was that as many as 23% of the early ballots in Florida cast by registered republicans are for Clinton.

Obama won Florida in 2012 with only 6% of republicans voting for him (if I remember the article correctly)


And, I think John Kasich is on the Write-In list here in Ohio. I wouldn't count a registered republican hitting the polls early for Trump at all. Trumpster Fire has a lot of support in rural areas. But Kasich is revered in the population centers (3 C's and Dayton). And he came out and said, essentially, you vote for him, you are an idiot. Him and Rob Portman (well respected R Senator) both have been screaming about write in votes for 4 weeks now. If Kasich isn't on the list, Pence is. In fact, if you are writing in, they suggest you vote early or do a mail-in ballot.
