I voted early on October 20 at the Oakland Park Town Hall here in Florida. It only took me about 20 minutes from the time I got there until I was done voting. Yesterday I drove by the same early voting location and there was a line going around the block so I am glad I voted there when I did. A quick look at the line and the people seemed to have there heads screwed on right so I think it was a big Bush crowd despite us being in Broward County. Also, the day I voted there was a woman with a Kerry sign outside and no Bush signs. Today there were people with both Kerry and Bush signs. BTW, one of the guys with a Kerry/Edwards sign looked like an uglier version of Ug, that critter advertising for ugly houses. I was actually glad to see him there with a Kerry/Edwards sign since he might frighten a few people to vote contrary to what he wants.

Despite all the hoopla about Rock the Vote and getting MTV types out to vote, I didn't spot any of those punks on line. Somehow I just don't think your typical MTVer has the patience to stand on line to vote. You won't see many of them voting in this election despite all the publicity. After seeing that line yesterday, I felt a lot better about this election.

One other thing that I didn't mention before on the FR because I didn't want to give a heads up to the RATS. I sometimes read the Spanish language newspapers and listen to the radio in Spanish (despite being a gringo) and there has been a lot of political advertising pointing out that Kerry supported partial birth abortion while Bush opposed it. This is a VERY IMPORTANT issue to most Latins, whatever there other poltical proclivities. So don't just look for Bush support from voters here of Cuban background. Bush will also be supported by Florida voters of Venezuelan, Colombian, and many other such backgrounds. Anyway, this stress on the abortion issue is very prominent in the Spanish language media but overlooked elsewhere. It will be in play today.

Look for a big Bush win Florida in large part due to this under the MSM radar issue in the Spanish language community.
