Ah yes, the dead are being activated, and directed to the polling places.

Activated backup volunteers.

Can the Dems call those voters sleeping in a drunken stupor on their park bench? Or, is the problem is that there is only one phone in the prison set up to receive calls?

Miami-Dade should go for 0bama, as it did for Gore and Kerry.

We can only hope to make it close.

If McCain wins Miami-Dade, 0bama can expect a huge loss in Fla.

CALL EVERY POTENTIAL MCCAIN VOTER YOU KNOW TO MAKE SURE THEY VOTED. DO NOT ASSUME THEY WENT TO THE POLLS!

I hope this is true just so I can watch major Garret have a nervous breakdown on tv, he has been embedded so far up Obama’s butt it would be a thing of glory to force him to report on an Obama defeat.

Last night after he got done eulogizing Obama’s grandmother, Major said again and again that teh Obama team sees “ZERO” chance of him losing.

I’m kind of the opposite ... I voted this morning in Warren County, OH (25 miles north of Cincinnati). One of the reddest of red Ohio counties. The lines were unprecedented. Easily 5x as many folks there when the polls opened than in 2004. GOP turnout is through the roof.

I hope the Fox News report is accurate. I’m here at work, wanting to go home (I voted in Burbank at 7am this morning) But I may be better off staying away from the Teeeveee and reading Freeps and hugh Hewitt.

Almost everyone on Fox except for Sean Hannity is ticking me off; they are all (karl rove incl.) calling it for Wacky Baracky and I hope he doesn’t win.

Pray and watch.

The real test will be with Chris Matthews.

If that tingly feeling running down his leg is his own tears, we’ll know Obama has lost.

Turnout is pretty average in the Milwaukee area. It feels far below 2004.

Good news.... not yet.

We must continue to get out the conservative vote!

Go out and vote, get your family to vote, get your friends to vote, make calls, volunteer to drive people to the polls...don't give up....keep going!

We can stop, consider and analyze all of the good news once all of the polls are closed!

They don’t need turnout. They just need precinct workers willing to stuff the ballot boxes.

“I thought the election was just a formality. Could Dems be experiencing a false sense of inevitability?”

This is why, if polled, you purposely skew the polls - as in what the PUMAs have done. By doing this you (A) give the Obama supporters a false sense of security and (B) scare the hell out of the McCain supporters. Remember, people always act more decisively out of fear than they do out of hope and contentment.

If you are GOP, and not a troll, get to the polls. Any trouble, spend the time to report it. It will be worth it in the end. At least you can sleep tonight knowing you did all you could.

Actually, I voted about a week and half ago,(for McCain). This is the first time I've ever early voted, I actually kind of miss going to the polls today. I can't sleep tonight either way though, I'm working night shift...:(
