Two posts of mine, on another thread:

A caller to WRKO, Boston's AM talk radio station, called in to say that 60 people were waiting in line for the polls to open in Wakefield.

There's the first evidence of the enthusiasm here on Election Day.

And....

Another caller just phoned in from North Andover to report that she's been waiting 20 minutes just to park her car so she can go inside to vote.

Some twitter comments from voters:

RTPolls in MA opened at 7:00. Lines are already forming at locations in Boston 'burbs.

The polls in my town (Maynard, MA) are the busiest I've ever seen

AP is reporting cars backed up for blocks.

Good - that means Brown’s margin of victory will be even greater than expected! People who are mad as hell want their voices heard!

Polls opened at 7 AM.
Turnout very high.
Snowing, light.
DNC sporadically already beyond the barriers erected
to stop electioneering.

Just voted. Small town, about 25.000. Light snow, secondary roads thinly coated. Traffice backed up at local school where polls are located.

Three Brown sign holders, no Coakley signs yet. There were a few ugly and bitter looking people, so I presume there are a few Socialists voting, but generally, people were friendly and smiling. The cops were all smiling, FWIW. (Indoor detail!?? Hahaha.)

I suppose later on the crack smokers will show up, after their childrens' fisting lessons.

Fox&Friends showed one graphic of a poll this morning that showed Brown 9 points ahead of Coakley.

Can we rename the thread?

It should be:

Do you Believe in Miracles!

The similarities to the 1980 Team are too many.

Scrappy Americans working hard to beat a Totalitarian Regime when NO ONE Thought they could!!!

[Lurking in Kansas]

Coakley voters will not be out of bed until noon...

[edzo4]

Wife and I were in line at 7 to vote for Brown. Would love to help give a brown win to obama for his 1 year anniversary

[Gorzaloon]

Coakley voters will not be out of bed until noon...

Another delay will be the frozen ground. Hard digging for voters in the cemetary.
