Doug, I thought you were a Californian?
Was smooth going today at Lowell Elementary in Everett.
This county is safely locked up for Dems, so I don't expect much of a surprise.
I think Rossi will pull it out. Enough people are pissed that the Dems let Boeing leave. Nethercutt, I just don't know if he will be able to get enough nutjobs to come to their senses.
Voted by absentee a couple of weeks ago. On my way to work saw 5-6 Bush supporters standing at the intersection of 15th Avenue NW and Market Street waving Bush/Cheney signs. This is a very busy intersection in Seattle.
They were receiving a good number of horn honks! Very encouraging!
Already voted. Have voted in the same precinct for 15 years, and this is the first time there has been a line at all. Judging by all the sKerry/Edwards signs in the neighborhood, this may not bode well for President Bush
in my area.
save for later
Seattle. Queen Anne Hill is HEAVILY sKerry country. I voted absentee last week, but drove by my polling place this AM. Small precinct and I've never had lines either early AM or after work. This AM (6:50) there were 30-40 people lined up. I waited across the street watching until I drew some attention and just explained I was curious about turn out. Doors opened about 7:00 and more people begin lining up. No parking anywhere near poling place so neighbors hoof it to vote. My guess is sKerry carries our precinct 80%-20%. If Kedwards doesn't carry Washington state by 15 points, I'd call it a RAT failure. Hope is for Rossi running for Gov.
BUMP
LONG lines despite the rain.
Moderately conservative South Hill Puyallup. Lot's of determined....almost angry looks. SUVs, pickups. W stickers everywhere.
While a W victory in WA is unlikely, we can hope for some good news down ballot.
Cold and rainy. Hope that keeps the rats inside. I really believe Rossi will win. Bush could take this state, slim chance, but could. Just don't know about Nethercutt. This is the best shot we've had in a long time to get rid of Murray. Just vote no matter the weather or what you hear from the media.
At 7:04 a.m. I was voter No. 5 in my district. (Grays Harbor County) No Lines, No wait, Weather, raining as usual...
The lady ahead of me was No. 4, when she got to her booth with ballot in hand (we fill in ovals much like the grade school tests) the first issue was a state referendum. She immediately declared she had made a mistake, it’s a simple YES or NO question!! She wanted the poll worker to explain to her HOW she should vote on this issue!
The guy behind me stated that he just moved and this was his NEW precinct but was not registered here, they signed him up anyway and handed him a ballot and a privacy guard (ballot slides into it upon return)
His first question was how does the ballot go into the privacy guard! (Thinking that you could somehow fill in the ovals while the ballot was covered up)
All I could do was shake my head as I walked out thinking if we’re only up to voter No. 6 and this is any indication of how things would run. (By the way, the poll worker was still with voter No. 4 as I made my exit)
8^)
Wow, Washington is closer than I expected on on the C-span site
