I made no overall conclusions except what the data show. My statement was this could indicative of who early voting is favoring, not necessarily that it will predict election day.
This is a state that voted for a governor because of a flag, that voted for a do-nothing scumbag like Saxby, and thinks the solution to a drought is to hold a prayer on the capital steps for rain. I think an Obama victory here is highly unlikely.
