Yes, we can?
This is interesting...
Today I'm running a PR campaign for a major news network (I was hired for it by a PR company) in 8 different cities across the country: Boston, D.C., Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. We're handing out coffee and hot chocolate outside of one voting precinct in each of those cities.
What's interesting is that so far, in the the most affluent areas (rich/white suburbs of Detroit, Dallas, Nashville, Chicago) we are getting REALLY low turnout - so far in Dallas they've had maybe 10 people come vote this morning. And these are supposed to be large precincts.
My client is speculating that because so many people see the race as definitely won by Obama, those who are McCain supporters (or just not Obama supporters) aren't bothering to vote at all.
Fascinating! I'm still not counting those chickens, but I'm feeling optimistic...
