How is the voting going where you live? Reports from here indicate a huge turnout so far. We must keep up the good news throughout the day and keep momentum going forward. We must see this day through--tell everyone you meet to go and vote.

Help them see what you value.

Can’t someone comment without specificity at first? I was simply trying to generate responses from folks. Truth is: I already began this conversation at 8:30am and was trying to stimulate further response. Sorry for not posting appropriately...

Ten times more people in North East Alabama that I have ever seen before. Looks very good for Sarah and McCain.
Yellow dog dems voting for Sarah.

Haven't voted yet, but plan on going right after work at 2:30. Scuttlebutt throughout our office produced some interesting results. Both of my co-workers, as well as myself, have adult children in their 20's. ALL of them say their kids are ENTHUSIASTICALLY voting for McCain, as are my two 23 and 24 year olds. My daughter is a RABID conservative and cannot abide others who are either on the Darkside or who are uninformed. One of the sons of a co-worker said he is sick and tired of paying for deadbeats, and they already get enough of his money. He is 1 year out of college! My nephew who just turned 18 has been phone banking for McCain and probably has already voted.

I don't think Obama has the youth vote as nailed down as people think.

Md will go Obama. With Baltimore and so forth, its not worth spending time there. No GOP presidential candidate campaigns in most of the Northeast since its not winnable.

Good news. I think black turnout won't exceed the 2004 levels. I haven't seen any reports from Freepers to date this morning that shows its gonna be this huge increase postulated by the MSM.

Sounds like good news out of OH. I just hope there aren’t a lot of Republicans voting for zer0. If that turns out to be true then the IBD poll just might have been right.

We look forward to your OH updates. I am getting my hopes up, maybe a little too much now. But if M-P do not win, at least it is good to know there are plenty of good conservatives out there and we will support one another in tough times.

North Little Rock, Arkansas

No waiting in line to vote. WE walked in, voted and left. We don't have that many minorities who live in our precinct.

Those who voted EARLY had to wait a half-hour and upwards.

God Bless McCain/Palin on this day.

I live in Virginia Beach, VA. My polling place had over 300 people waiting at 7:00(polls opened at 6:00). I waited a little over a hour to vote. Passed by 2 other polling place and the parking lots were very full. So in the Beach area very large turnout.

Tell us somethin’ we don’t know, why dontcha?!?!

In Texas we have early voting two weeks before an election.

[aberaussie]

Winter Park, FL...Red area, but a significant number of Obama signs in the neighborhood. I drove by the two elementary schools where voting is happening. I saw full parking lots, but no lines outside. We voted early, absentee.

Don't forget crossover Dem votes for McCain. These people would never have pulled the lever for Bush but quite a number of them will cross party lines to go for McCain.

Rain in San Diego, that should keep a few rats at home.

Slapout is a tiny, very rural, very red area. Our 2007 census population was 2473.

This was the 5th presidential election in which I have participated at this polling place. I always go to vote at 10:00 AM because, in the past, there has never been a line at that time.

This morning I arrived at 10:00 and had to wait in line for the first time ever. I was the 257th person to vote. That is 10% of our entire town's population and probably 50% of the people assigned to this polling place.

I feel this is a good indicator of what is happening nationally, as Alabama is a red state and turn out does not have the effect on our electoral votes that it has in other states. If my little town is turning out in droves to vote this election, I guarantee it means the rednecks nationally will be doing the same thing...IF, that is, we can let go of our guns and our God long enough!!!

[TruthConquers]

Here is rainy southern Orange County, California, the voting and waiting took about 30 minutes all together. That has NEVER happened before. And I remember waiting to vote in 2000!

[goldstategop]

Since I'm not hearing accounts of this huge mega Dem turnout on this thread, perhaps it going to be this years' political urban legend! ;-)

Suburban MD. Voted at 7:30am, 30 minutes in and out. Moderate turnout. Age, gender, & racially mixed crowd but surprisingly no 18-25’s. Or maybe not that surprising, they could have been sleeping in after the pre-election Obama bacchanal from the night before.

Upon arriving was approached in the parking lot by someone from a Teacher’s Association to let me know who they recommended. I already knew their choice was unacceptable, so I politely declined a conversation and went inside.

Who wears a tee-shirt with a giant picture of Obama’s face on it to the polls? The psycho chick who canceled out my vote, that’s who. Still, the change we really needed was to throw the bums out of congress, and I did my best with that.

No exit pollers at this location. The Libertarians were lying in wait for me in 2000, but they were a no-show as well this year.

Get out and vote today and prevent our nation’s takeover for at least another four years. The country you save may be your own.

Upstate SC very busy. I am voting this afternoon due to work but on the radio this morning people were calling in from the polls where they had been standing in line for some over an hour and a half. Most places seemed on average about one hour. A lot of callers were saying they had never seen lines like this and a few turned and left once they saw the lines. Hopefully they will return and try again. Standing in line even 3 or 4 hours will not turn me away from voting!

On a side note, I have been praying about this election for awhile now. I know God's Will will be done but I pray that God is merciful on this nation even though we don't deserve it for the most part. I just pray God gives us another chance at getting this right. I pray for John McCain but I also pray for Sarah Palin to be our leader at some point and use her values to turn this country around to a place God deems worthy of His grace and mercy.

Major snowstorm in my area of Utah.
Attention Colorado West Slope - you may want to vote early if this storm moves your way.
Just voted.
No lines.
1 for the white haired guy and Sarah Palin.
