    I wonder what's missing from this AP article

    Could it be the independent vote? Oh darn...that means that 27% of the early voting in Colorado was not Democrat or Republican. The other states on the list are similar. I wonder who's polling ahead with the independents? AP forgot to mention that.

    I wonder about these numbers

    I would like to know how these numbers compare to 2008. What were the early numbers for the Democrats and Republicans then versus now. I just have a feeling we are going to see that the numbers are going to be a lot different.
