Ping and double ping.
Just got back from voting. News this morning said a record turnout was expected. My wife and I were 41 and 42, respectively, at our polling place at about 10 AM. Not sure the record turn out will hold up. But the weather is cold, damp, wet and dreary. SC is an open primary state. I’m hoping the weather will discourage demrat or unregistered voter spoilers from tainting the result.
I’m waiting for my wife to get home from Eucharistic Adoration and we will go then.
I think a lot of older democrats will turn out today to vote for Mitt. SC only went 51% for Nikki in 2010 because people here like their candidates conventional.
I don’t think it will be enough to beat Newt however. Going into Florida we’ll have a win each for Newt, Mitt and Santorum. I don’t want Mitt to show up for the next debate. I would like to see Newt vs. Santorum in a debate and Mitt only takes away from that. I think Rick could make a good case for humility and steadiness in a President.
“I’m hoping the weather will discourage demrat or unregistered voter spoilers from tainting the result.”
Amen to that!
And thanks for voting.
