For years I was generally within the first 10 voters..........but I was also generally doing some kind of work that day - poll watcher, greeter, errand runner, etc.

I voted this morning at 7:00. I was #6 (5 R's, 1 D). At 10:30 my friend called from her polling place and said she was #19 (17 R's, 2 D's). Both polls are in Loudoun County.

IMO 10% turnout is ambitious. We'll be lucky to see 5%.

I'm just hoping our turnout is better than theirs.

Just so the R turnout number isn't high because of D's "crossing over" to support RINO candidates like Fitch and Connaughton. I'm hoping that with a tight four-way Lt Gov race the D's will play in their own sandbox this time, but I'm not hopeful...

That's one of the reasons we got Joe Schwarz in Congress.

Actually, Dem leaders are urging their people to cross over to vote for Fitch and Bolling. They view Fitch beating Kilgore now as the only way they can stop him since they don't have confidence in Kaine. They also view Bolling as easier to beat in November, so they are trying to get their people to vote for him.

And I have never heard anyone refer to Fitch as a RINO. In fact, I hear he is more conservative than Kilgore.

I think the RINO label was pasted on Fitch when Russ Potts endorsed him (or said he voted for him in the primary).

I think Fitch is probably an okay guy. I would have preferred seeing him take on Potts or Chichester for a Senate seat. And maybe he'll do that after today.

Fitch has already said that if he doesn't win the primary today, he plans to move to Arizona.

That's too bad. It's also a sure sign he doesn't really care about Virginia.

Yeah, I'd heard that they don't think Kaine can pull out a win this November. He has all of Mark Warner's negatives, and none of his advantages.

They also view Bolling as easier to beat in November...

That's foolish. None of their four Lt Gov candidates could touch Bolling in a statewide race.

The Dems just have such a freakish cast to choose from, they should be screwed any way you look at it. Any of our guys could beat any of theirs any day of the week.
