Good news! With 45 days to election day - The Obama For America campaign and the Democrats massive get-out-the-vote campaign effort appears to be paying dividends in the state of Iowa. According, to the National Journal, Democrats have 6-1 edge in ballot request so far, the Wall Street Journal report.
From the National Journal:
With absentee and early voting set to begin next week in Iowa, a battleground state in the presidential race, Democrats have a 6-1 edge in ballot requests so far, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Democrats requested roughly 100,000 ballots, compared with 16,073 ballots requested by Republicans, the newspaper said. Absentee voting and in-person early voting begins on Sept. 27. http://www.nationaljournal.com/...
An admission from a former Iowa State GOP official:
"I see the early vote numbers, and I grimace a little bit," said Craig Robinson, a former political director of the Iowa Republican Party and the editor of a popular blog, told The Journal. "It feels like an Obama state…. The president has been more accessible to voters than [Mitt] Romney and [Paul] Ryan."

This truly encouraging. I think this story fits perfectly with the story earlier this week from Gallup about the recent surge in Democratic enthusiasm.
