Well, this news must have been like a slap in the face to Team O in Chicago. They’ve been pushing hard on early voting, and Romney is leading by 6 points according to Gallup. But I’m sure Nate Silver will have an explanation to help soothe the lefties.

Wow! Look at this:
This morning President Obama’s campaign indicated they are going on the air in Pennsylvania and sending Joe Biden to the state trying to protect a state that just one week ago was considered to be safe ground. One possible reason? The enormous GOP edge in absentee ballot returns in the state, creating an enormous and unexpected hole for the President’s campaign to dig out of.
In 2008 the GOP edged the Democrats by just 2% in absentee returns. As of today the GOP’s lead is 18.8% — a 16.9% bump in a state Obama won by 10% in 2008. Republicans have turned in 55.2% of the absentee ballots to date while the Democrats have returned just 36.4%.
Update: Linked by Scared Monkeys – thanks!
Ha-ha! Early voting backfires in Obama’s face, or as the Bard of Avon would say: “Hoist by [his] own petard.”
Another great reference here as well from Robert Burns’ poem To a Mouse: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft a-gley, [often go awry]”
Whatever literary genius we can call upon to describe this debacle for Obama, would have served our misfit President well if only he had read the classics. Instead he chose to spend his time smoking dope, lollygagging and breaking bread with anarchists as they plotted to destroy the United States of America.

Mark Levin has observed that he believes Obama has been desperately pushing the early voting to avoid the expected fall-out when Obama’s grevious handling of Benghazi (literally sleeping while Americans called for help and were killed in a protracted gun battle) becomes clear.

Romney now leads by 5 points or more:
-In Gallup, Battleground, Rasmussen, and several other national polls
-Among early voting nationally
-Among middle-class voters nationally
-Among college-educated voters nationally
He leads by ten or more points now :
-Among men
-Among independents
-Among married women
-Among absentee voters
Romney leads by 20 or more points:
-Among rural voters
-Among white voters
An Obamee win at this point is impossible. Romney is heading for an 8-10 point national landslide, with state wins in PA, MI, WI, IA, NV, CO, and of course VA, OH, and FL.
We need to be extremely vigilant of voter fraud by the millions under cover of Sandy here.
We must also be ready to RESIST BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY the impossible notion that Obamee is winning, has won, or can win. The numbers are coming up to the point where the math has no other choice.
More than ever I believe millions, if not tens of millions, of votes are going to be stolen in the next week.
Be ready. We will have to take to the streets by the millions in order to win.

Obama’s self-serving style of bullying has become too visible and is completely unacceptable to all voters, early and Election Day too!
Time to pack your bags Obama!
I’m sure he has an unpleasant and illegal lame duck session planned as a final insult to the country!
Obama’s pardon list will undoubtedly be scandalous!
