Woohoo!

I hope you’re off (to the low side) by at least a factor of 2 — *That* would ‘send the message’ that needs to be sent....

I hope you are too.

I think McDonnell has a good chance to win by more than 10. I think Hoffman will win between 5-8, and Christie is too close to call. Normally I’d say Christie has a 2-3 pt edge, but I just don’t trust the New Jersey vote counting. I hope I’m wrong and I hope that Christie’s team is lawyered up and has plenty of poll watchers.

There were a crap load of signs on all the major roads like Rte 73 and Rte 70 and most were Corzine....I do not recall seeing those yesterday!!! No signs or "field workers" at the school where we voted..

Christie needs to finish ahead at least by 4 in order to survive vote fraud.

I would say about 55%-60% conservative area as of last year, so it may be higher now...just a guess based on some past polls.

That's actually a good thing. It means people didn't want them for their yards, so the ACORN deadbeats stick them along the side of the road.

I was in Canastota NY recently and saw lots of Hoffman signs and only a couple of Owens signs. I live pretty close to district 23 and everyone I know who lives in district 23 is voting for Hoffman.

Voted for McDonnell, Bolling, Cuccinelli, my Repub. delegate and against a bond issue in western Fairfax County, VA this morning.
I slept in and didn’t get there until about 6:45, 49th person to vote. The polling place had a good number of signs from the four Republican campaigns and one lone Deeds sign.

Both parties were there handing out sample ballots. The Republicans were much more organized than when I passed out sample ballots there for the ‘08 races.

Deeds signage has picked up on my commuting route through liberal infested areas of Fairfax and in to Alexandria, but McDonnell signs still outnumber Deeds.

There are still a lot of cars running around northern Virginia with Obama stickers, but very, very few of those have added Deeds stickers. McDonnell-Bolling-Cuccinelli are way ahead on bumper sticker wars here.

Prediction: McDonnell carries Fairfax County, which means he carries VA by something quite a bit more than 10 points.

I moved recently. This is my first time voting in person in Central NJ. About 7am the school parking lot was half full, people coming and going, but no wait. They did not ask for any ID, just a signature with a sample of my signature next to the line that I could have copied. The voting machine was all electronic, no paper receipt. Knowing how corrupt NJ is don’t have a good feeling about all this, especially for close elections. Unless Christie wins by 10% he’s probably lost.

The PPP poll looked good for NJ yesterday...

But not these two (granted, they are left-leaning):

“A Quinnipiac University poll released today showed Republican candidate Chris Christie winning with 42 percent of the vote, with Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine trailing him at 40 percent, the New Jersey Star-Ledger reports. The difference falls within the poll’s 2.5 percent margin of error. Independent candidate Chris Daggett carried 12 percent of the vote.

Meanwhile, a Fairleigh Dickinson University poll also released today also showed Corzine winning with 43 percent of the vote while Christie trailed at 41 percent — a difference within this poll’s 3 percent margin of error. Daggett stood at 8 percent.”

It could be a close one, so if you live there, vote. :)

Glad we have a live thread. Over at NRO there is some possible concern in NY-23 that too many Republicans voted early - more than a week ago - for Dede the traitor.

“They did not ask for any ID”

That’s a shame! I believe that all states should ask for ID when you vote.

I’m very certain that Hoffman and McDonnell will win; it’s Christie I’m worried about.

From what I know, the northern part of your state is rather liberal in registration and voting (Obama last time) more and more that socialist way, so the fact that you dont see an intense turnout there will bode well for the Conservative Republicans. Eagles up! Good luck!

Thanks for the live thread.

My predictions:

NJ Governor - Corzine by 1%
VA Governor - McDonnell by 9%
NY23 - Hoffman by 5%

Corzine will win (fraudulently) by enough votes to avoid a mandated runoff.

Take these with a grain of salt; I predicted McCain would win. :)

I have some Maine friends on Facebook and it’s all I can do not to comment on their specious pro-gay-marriage status updates. BARF!

“NJ Governor - Corzine by 1%”

I’ve predicted by a larger margin for Corzine. I wonder how many hidden boxes of “absentee ballots” the dems have in reserve in case it’s a close vote.

I hadn't considered that - there are Deeds signs all over Spotsylvania County, but only a couple in yards - the rest are on the side of the road. McDonnell signs are EVERYWHERE.
