So I'm seeing Obama seems to be off to an early lead when it comes to early votes, or at least, more people who voted Democrat before has made their way to the polls. The argument I've seen counter to that is that Dems always get out and vote early and Republicans show up on election day. My question is, do numbers back that up? Has this always been the case and why in the hell is that? I was reading one article that said both candidates made an unprecedented campaign push to get people out to vote early, yet it seems the Dems hold that advantage. I just wanted to see what thoughts were on this issue. Is this something that is overblown. Are we really expected to see this massive red wave of voting come Nov. 6?

the #'s do support a theory that conservatives vote after work
