Early Evening Observations

With all the focus on key battleground states, no one is making much of Romney’s small lead in the overall popular vote.  Hmm.  Of course, Obama may rack up a large margin in California and sweep away a small Romney lead, but let’s stay tuned.

The generic exit poll information on issue breakouts of the voters is deeply confusing.  You can make a case for either candidate from some of the splits.  One question is how much divergence from national figures there are in key states like Ohio and Colorado.  I suspect we’ll be poring over the results for days or weeks, no matter who wins.
