This may not matter much because I live in Illinois, but...
Poll watched in a heavily Republican precinct this morning. Lines weren’t out the door, but turnout was heavy (one election judge said a record might be set) and some people were filling their ballots out in the open at tables in the room because the wait for a booth was so long.
During my poll flushing calls so far, I’m getting two results:
1. Voice mail.
2. “The reason we didn’t vote today was that we early voted.”
GOP turnout may just be huge here in the Northwest corner of Illinois. If that’s the case, Schilling should make it back to Congress.
Good and I think Illinois has a chance in the coming years to turn our way. A few years back I was out to lunch with a black southside alderman. He startled me in being so pro-gun. Last night I was out to dinner with a long time Democrat operative. He was drinking whiskey and perhaps that influenced him, but he said, “I’ve always voted Democrat, but this time...” He just stared out into space.
