Early Morning Tidbits

++Reuters/Ipsos reports that President Obama has a 59 to 31 lead in early voting. At least that part of the Obama campaign's strategy is working at a better level than 2008. In Iowa, voting officials point out that Romney is now doing incrementally better.

++CORRECTION: Last night I was wrong--It is 4 million small donors, not 5 million to the Obama campaign.

++The all-important 7-11 poll still shows Obama at 60 and Romney at 40. The convenience store says that they can be off 2%.

++The Rand Tracking poll is inching back to pre-debate 1 levels. President Obama is 49 and Romney 45.

++Huffington Post put Ohio back into the lean Obama category after the polls yesterday.

++The Philadelphia Inquirer endorses President Obama and points out that Romney's economic plan doesn't work and no one knows what he really believes. They cited the mess President Obama inherited and what he has done to get out of it. The Inquirer makes a vigorous defense of how the economic stimulus prevented another Depression.

++The Concord Monitor in New Hampshire writes an editorial criticizing Romney's tax plan for being on-viable.

++The major newspaper in Winston-Salem, North Carolina strongly endorses President Obama for matters more in terms of character and judgement. The paper explained why they endorsed John McCain in 2008. 

++Reverend Billy Graham broke his own tradition and endorsed Mitt Romney and then had his own website scrubbed of its mention that Mormonism is a cult.

++Voters in Florida and Ohio have been receiving DVDs of "Dreams of my real father" and "Obama 2016", the Dinesh D'Souza attack on Obama funded by the owner of the Chicago Cubs. Last election,Virginia voters received a similar DVD in their papers. Effects are too unknown, while I can imagine it will reinforce the anti-Obama haters.
