I'm in Fairfax County, the largest county in Northern Virginia. It's a blue county in a red state.
>>the woman running against Jim Ryun-the runner- in Kansas is another.
Nancy Boyda. I dislike her so much that I did something I've never done before. I voted for every Republican on the ballot even those running unopposed. Normally, I vote straight Republican but I never vote for unopposed candidates. Had to do something to vent and show my disgust no matter how small the action might be.
Well, my precinct (Byrd Middle School, western Henrico County outside Richmond) was basically empty when I got there around 9:00 am. About 5-6 people voting and 2-3 more checking in. I was in and out in six minutes.

So did they tell you who is going to win? :-)
Northern VA is extremely populated and extremely blue. It's raining steadily here now, which will hopefully keep some of them home.
The only way conservatives will ever stop it is for us to cancel our subscriptions to the lib newspapers.
I'm smack dab in the middle of the state. Predominantly Republican.
Voted in McLean. Heavy turnout in a precinct, which went to Kerry in 2004. Hopefully, Allen can make up the difference outside Northern VA. No poll watchers from either party. 900 voters as of noon.
Voted earlier this morniing at Navy precinct. We've been trending very blue recently, it's heartbreaking. Anyway, turnout was a steady trickle ... no long lines, maybe a 5 minute wait to vote. No problem with the machines that I saw. There were two adorable young girls handing out Republican sample ballots and two older women handing out the Democrat ones. It was much less crazy than '04 but busier than '02.
I was the fourth in line this morning at my polling place here in Springfield--we had a squad of Republicans getting sample ballots before the first Democrat showed up. I can say with certitude that the first 4 votes at Hunt Valley Elementary School were for the GOP.
