McCollum, Meek Lead, But What About Early and Absentee Votes?

Looks like the millionaires trying to buy a couple Florida elections may go down to defeat tomorrow. Here are the Pollster.com averages for the Republican (mislabeled by the Pollster.com folks) gubernatorial primary between Medicare fraudster Rick Scott and partisan grandstander Bill McCollum:



And here are the averages for the Democratic US Senate (also mislabeled by the Pollster.com folks) primary between Jeff Greene and Congressman Kendrick Meek:



However, one important thing I think folks are missing is that, polling averages aside, the reality is while many of these polls were being run, a considerable amount of votes had already been cast mostly by absentee (mail-in) ballot, but also by early voting. I haven't heard anything official as to how many ballots have been cast statewide so far before election day, but my guess is it's large, bigger than years past. So the real question is: are the early leads by Scott and Greene enough to overcome the late surges by McCollum and Meek? Things are certainly looking good for Meek, not so sure about McCollum.

We'll find out tomorrow night.
