Year: 2018

The Democratic swing voter isn't the idiot "undecided" voter Chris Coons is trying to win over with his moderate incantations, and centerist voo-doo. The Democratic swing voter is not the dunderhead who thinks that "there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats." As Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put it “Our swing voter is not red-to-blue,” said Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year-old socialist who shot into the spotlight after beating 10-year party boss Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) in the May primary. “Our swing voter is the voter to the non-voter, the non-voter to the voter.” Early voting in Texas is filling some with hope that those REAL swing voters are being reached.

Voters are turning out in record numbers in states with early vote options across the nation — and Democrats are excited about a lot of what they’re seeing. Turnout is way up across the map, with both Democrats and Republicans far exceeding their early vote numbers in nearly every state with a competitive statewide race on the ballot this year. Eighteen states and counting have already surpassed their total early vote counts from four years ago.

That said, I'm going into a news blackout now. I can't follow the minute by minute updates by 538.com or MSNBC's Steve Kornacki. I can't put myself through that. So I'll be volunteering locally and making "warm" calls to everyone I know to make sure they are planning to vote.
