“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of Socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.”
- Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959.
Khrushchev was the first Russian leader who turned me off of Communism. He was an arrogant man who said, “We will bury you!” to the US. Thanks for the quote because it brought back memories of how horrible communism is.
I still remember him banging his shoe on podium or something of that kind...
Exeter is a very liberal community but there were a lot of people supporting Romney, Ryan, Ovid, Guinta and the other Republican candidates. I talked to a UNH student holding RR signs next to me and he said there is very little support or enthusiasm for Obama on the UNH campus. He told me that most of the students "are not interested in supporting him this time around." Or "they are not voting because they just do not care." On the other hand he said the Republicans on campus are very active, enthusiastic and fired up. So we shall see if there is a lot less Obama mania student support this time around.
Have yet to vote. Through twitter I’m hearing HEAVY voting this am. 1/3 mile backup in Ltown. Typically you can drive right in. Ltown leans (R).
I arrived at 7:50 (polls open at 8). There were already >100 people in line, standing outside in 27F windy cold. Mood of the crowd? I would say grim determination. More than a few Mitt buttons. Some of our local dopers there, too, to vote for Gary Johnson.
At least ten people were there to register. Did not see any Mass or Vermont license plates.
On a normal election day, there is no line, especially in the morning.
planning for 10am at Bedford High School - hopeful that will be the shortest wait time today - fingers crossed. R/R will win here by miles....
Here in central MA (which is a red county in a blue state) my wife reported the polling place in our little town was very busy. I will be voting after work and expect a line.
Everyone has written off MA for Romney but don’t be so quick to do that. It will be close even if Mitt loses the state. Brown will win.
Voted this am in Amherst. A line of fifteen or more cars to get into the entrance of the high school. Once I was inside there was no line to vote. In and out in about 10 minutes.
However, there is still confusion in my office on how to vote on the three ballot questions regarding no income tax, etc. They checked my ID, which I had ready because I had voted in the primary.
Yep, I remember that too.
I could have used the frog (us) in a pot of warming water (Bigger Government) sitting on a hot stove where the frog gradually gets used to the warmer water (Socialism) and eventually boils to death (Communism).
Be my guest and use either or both today!
May the heros of Benghazi be proud of how we vote today.
They gave their lives for us, now we need to give our votes for them.
Vote as if the lives of our Military Men and Women depended on it.
I drove down from Townsend to West Brookfield down rt. 31 most of the way on Saturday. I was glad to see the support for Brown in so many of the central Mass. towns. We came back through Worchester and up 290/190. We saw more Warren signs in and around the city.
Message to the GOPe.
I almost voted for the democrat senate candidate over Bob Corker. But only because the RAT-e disowned him because he ran an anti-abortion lobbying group in Washington. But his website sounded like a high school rant and was weak on issues and he repeatedly identified with the left. However he was rightly taking Corker to task for votes that weakened our constitutional rights and jet setting around the world.

Then don’t come here celebrating tonight if Obama loses, given that you’ve done nothing to help defeat him.
I travel from Athol to Worcester 3 times a week and on rt 140 to 290 south. Nothing but Brown and Romney signs one house near 290 on 140 has display that as pretty as a extravagant Christmas display with Romney Brown signs.
Saw a few Warren signs but I think they are OUT LIARS.
I think Paul Simon said it best...
♫ "Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidate's debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.♪
I may well be here tonight, bashing whoever wins. After all, You voted for him, not me.
Actually, I'll probably be bashing Romney's free trade policy in hopes that they will wisen up and actually help Americans get their jobs back instead of just yapping.
0bama thanks you for your support.
Actually, now that I think about it, the losses of either of those two ought to be celebrated. It’s just the win, that you won’t see me celebrating.
