I took three days of some of my use-or-lose vacation so I voted early this morning. At just after 6:30 AM in north Stafford County there was a line of about 150+ people and about a third were Negroes.

What surprised me the most was at least ten or more of the Negro couples had the red Republican sample ballots in hand. That could mean somewhere around twenty or more in that line voted for Romney.

There were many military and retired military in line and I pretty much think most of them voted Romney also.

I am concerned about 3rd parties peeling off enough from Mitt to put Obama in.

Long line this morning in Spotsylvania, about 200 waiting in line. Democrat volunteer handing out sample ballots had two takers in line accept the Dem sample ballot. It was kind of funny, they looked at the ballot as if it were written in a foreign language. "Who are these people, who'm I s'possed to vote for??" Pretty funny, but also sad.

Most people in line looked like there were there with a purpose, and it wasn't to reelect the president.

Voted today in the 8th .Congressional district in Fairfax, Virginia - Westgate. Arrived at 3:00pm, took 55 minutes to vote, normally takes about 5 minutes. Longest lines for voting ever, going back to 1980 election for Reagan.

90 min wait in Fairfax this AM at 7 am to vote. Yes, big NoVA turnout rightfully scares people, but honestly, i have seen so many Romney signs here it’s amazing to me. The People’s republic of Falls Church has Romney signs. i saw some in OLD TOWN ALEXANDRIA, that’s MINDboggling to me. So yes, NoVA is scary but i am hopeful this time that there are lots of Romney votes here too.

Central VA here. I waited an hour and 15 minutes. Normally, I can bop in, walk up to the machine, vote, and be out in 5 minutes. Today was unprecedented. The poll workers couldn’t get over it; they said there had been no let-up, no break all day, and people were wrapped around the building at 5:30 this morning before they opened.

Paul Ryan called in to Hannity’s show and discussed the historic turnout in VA; he even mentioned our area.
