“I hope she’s right!”
Me too, but two things in my life make me very pessimistic today.
My son was at a party talking politics with friends. My son is voting McCain and is a minority in the 20 something crowd. One of the kids at the party said: “Your wrong, and you don’t even know why you’re wrong”. So, my son said, ok, I’m wrong, explain? The kid replied: “I don’t want to talk to you.” Typical lib, and typical of kids.
Today when I voted, there were a LOT of kids in the polling place. More than I’ve ever seen.
I would bet money Obama will win today, and I’m quite depressed.
I'll take that bet.
The youth vote hasn't turned out and just seeing some kids voting doesn't change the fact that Obama is going to need millions of new voters to make up for the ones that he is losing to the Hillary voters and Reagan Democrats.
Actually, I can see why you are depressed-you are a Browns fan!
At my polling place there were easily 5 times more voters than I have seen before (same place for about 17 years.) There were more Blacks than before, but they were hugely outnumbered by the professionals, the older voters, people that appear to be in groups that break for McCain.
I do not believe the Elections office foresaw the huge increase in the largely Republican districts such as mine. They seem to have expected it only in the seemingly more sparsely populated minority areas here in Memphis.
