Hillary benefited early from the "she is the inevitable nominee" stuff via the corporate M$M.

Many early voters cast their ballot before Obama proved that indeed not only was he electable, but that he can attract a wide base of the electorate, indies, and disaffected rethugs.

If we did NOT have early voting, do you think Obama would have already locked up the nomination weeks ago (and by Super Tuesday for sure)?

Some pundits have said that in general, early voting is not a good idea.

What do you think?

1. ya think?
that maybe the reason she was shilling for Californians to "get out and vote early" had anything to do with the hull of her campaign taking water at an alarming rate-kinda like the Titanic?

2. I buy that. Obama has kicked Hillary's ass in every election that
didn't have early voting. HRC was seen as the "unbeatable" candidate a month before the California elections, and a pile of early votes came in for her. On the actual election day, didn't Obama actually win more votes in Cali?
