ok.... I went and voted about 10am. Had to wait a bit, but it was orderly, as always. Talked to one of the gentlemen working there, and he said that the crowd had been steady. His polling place had had 200 before 10am.
We'll see. I wonder if Davis will ever figure out that it ISN'T a vast right wing conspiracy?

BTW, the cable is going out in the television now. The cable should be going out in the computer any momento.
If you don't see me for a while it's because I've lost my cable.
