Republican turnout high in Ohio–Good news for McCain
For weeks, we have been told Ohio is going to be carried by Barack Obama, but from some of the reports from the state, that may not be the case. National Review Online has a report that says the Republican turnout in Ohio has been very heavy, especially in the Republican precincts.
George Bush carried Darke County, Ohio, 18,306 to 7,486 with 70 percent turnout. I’m hearing some predictions that turnout there could reach 80 percent this year.
Bush carried Warren County 68,037 votes to 26,044 with 76 percent turnout. I’m hearing that turnout is expected to be higher there, too.
If these reports are true, then it bodes well for McCain/Palin in Ohio. The polls will be closing in Ohio and West Virginia in about thirty minutes and have already closed in Indiana and Kentucky. It’s impossible to tell which way the election is going to swing this early, despite what the pundits will tell you. There is still hope for John McCain to defeat Barack Obama.
That’s my take!

Let’s hope you’re right.
