It's Ames -- Obama plays well to college students. The University of Iowa is located in Ames.

Yeap, Hal Pen made the point that the polling isn't taking in effect youth registration as a factor and that if the youth vote swings Obama's way like it did last time this election is a lock for Obama

Oh, Obama will win the youth vote -- little doubt of that. Where the doubt lies is that the youth vote (and for that matter the minority vote) be as big a factor this year as it was four years ago. Obama received huge turnouts in both of those demographics on '08, but that may not be repeated this year.

I've been trying to confirm that this is NOT true...

My understanding is in swing states the turnout is up in youth that have been registered this year and minority votin in EARLY voting...

Some districts are seeing 40 - 50% more early votes and the early voting nationwide has swung towards Obama by 10 - 15%...

Ohio and NC come to mind...

I haven't confirmed, these are talkin head stats and we know which way they swing...

If that's true and the turnout is higher than 08 of dems then rMoney is toast no doubt

If that turnout is as you've described, I'd have to agree. I haven't been able to find numbers one way or the other that I think are reliable.

Check your geography. The University of Iowa is located in Iowa City. It is Iowa State University that is located in Ames.

Hell, I live in Iowa, and I always get the two university towns mixed up. My apologies.

No need to apologize, I just thought it was worth correcting. I was born and raised in Muscatine, and used to go to all the home football games of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa City is just 30 miles from Muscatine. My father had a lifetime free pass to all the University of Iowa athletic events; went to quite a few home basketball games, too.
