The most famous naysayer is a fictional character:
John Galt.
1. “Who is John Galt?” ; )
2. I would not call him a naysayer. He is a fictional character responding to a hypothetical (more than hypothetical, rather constructed — predicted) situation.
3. WHY did he take 100 pages to articulate his position? Well Ayn Rand was obviously before the era of the sound bite.
4. Where is John Galt?? Now, where would John Galt be?
“people getting off work”
Yes, people who WORK, getting off work.
Also those of you with % turnouts for certain areas, if they give the hard numbers can you post those too?
If you want to compare if the area is on par, at, or below turnout rates from the 05 and 09 Elections, see the following spreadsheet, Columns (G) and (Q)
In sounds from initial reports that turnout is down in most areas, but there is still 90 minutes or so to go and people should be getting off work might just be voting.
Agitprop.
I said it before but I hope the polls didnt discourage the conservatives.
Please post anything re: Augusta if you come across.

Was. Post reports heavy turnout in Latino community for McAuliffe in Virginia. Maybe Cuccinelli and GOP will learn not to insult immigrants!
Without numbers, these tweets are all hearsay. Sounds like a Twitter propaganda war.
Charlottesville has turned into a Dem hell hole.
Yeah VA has a pretty good economy, compared to some
The Dems work social media hard. A lot of FReepers snark at that, but I think it has considerable impact, well beyond those who actually "receive" the tweets.
Local voters head to the polls
WAYNESBORO Voter turnout at Waynesboros Ward D precinct inside Westminster Presbyterian Church has been good this morning, though down from the last gubernatorial election, an election officer said.
Its been fairly steady, said Andrew Shifflett, the precincts election chief. Its not been quite the turnout as it was four years ago.
Just before 10 a.m., 600 of the precincts 3,748 voters had cast ballots.
None of the local incumbents for House of Delegates or elected officials in Staunton and Waynesboro have opposition on the ballots.
The chief competition is in the statewide races, lead by the governors race between Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and Democratic businessman Terry McAuliffe.
the economy in NoVa will get a boost from McAwful because it will be the people in this area that put him over the top and hillary needs them in 2016.
Another area to keep a close eye on is Emporia. This shows the difference between who votes when and who doesn’t. Because of the strong AA population, it is heavily Dem in the General Elections, but ironically, the GOP has carried it in the last 3 Governors races (even Kilgore).
Sinaloa organized for zero, sounds like they’re still organized.
McAuliffe would love to fix that.
For later.
Bell weather for next year (maybe).
