Astounding event voting 11 a.m. in downtown Brooklyn. Long line (1-3/4 hours). My neighbors were ahead of me, and the husband complains but says he doesn’t think he would come back because if the line were long after work and it was cold and dark he would just go home.

I said, “It’s New York. Our vote doesn’t count.”

His wife said, “You would be surprised.”

I said (incredulously), “You think Romney could win New York?”

And she said that many of their Democratic friends were voting Romney because of taxes and their children, who had voted 0 in 08 were voting Romney because of jobs. She was very angry and frustrated that they were all surrendering in the war on women!

All this agitation, gone!!!!!

Dude, I was born and raised in New York. My folks were fromAstoria. I still have relatives there. To a person they are democrats. New York will NEVER go red.

Here in Flushing, NY, the polling place was doing a BRISK business. Never saw it so crowded at any previous election. This is a heavily Orthodox Jewish area. I reminded everyone that I passed on the street to vote. I was appalled to see one young man in a yarmulke unregistered to vote because "he was too busy to do it." I gave him a right tongue-lashing, reminding him that Americans had died so that he could have the right (and responsibility) to vote.

Hope Zero is handed an embarrassing defeat.

Yep, same here. It’s the closest thing I could do to bitch-slapping the imbecile Gillibrand. I hate her guts, for many reasons. Just name me ONE piece of worthwhile legislation with her name on it.
