I just returned from my local poll in Virginia. In all my years here (19), this turnout was largest BY FAR. The longest line I ever remember was around 75 people. . .today, it was at least 500 and over an hour wait. I pray to God that this bodes well for Romney. Today, we will discover whether or not the adage "Its the economy, stupid" has been replaced with a new one "It's the HANDOUT, stupid!"
Was it Larry Sabato?
If Oboma wins, expect massive lay offs, people hoarding food and building shelters, and no buying of goods. People will work on paying off their debts. We'll see a lot more bartering.
If Romney wins, the working class will relax. They'll go back to hiring and buying. Those storing food will slow down. Preppers will have more time to work on the little things they may have missed during their haste.
Either the nation collapses under the weight of social programs, or those on social programs will be asked to start earning their own keep. This is the choice the voters have to make today.
Sounds like me, sans the tats and piercings, of course (and then again I couldn't grow bizarre facial hair, even if I tried).
Remember, Congress long ago learned how to keep the jobs at home, in their districts.
Your friends and neighbors ~ not ours ~ and I live here.
I went to Woodbridge HS for my Freshman year in 76, used to hang out in Lake Ridge and remember ice skating on the Occoquan whenever we got the chance.
I don’t know that you can go with that assessment early in the a.m. down there. Lot of folks in Woodbridge who are up that early in the a.m. are facing a very long commute and probably are on the road by 0600 or earlier. If they are dressed “slovely” it probably means they work outside and are wearing layers because it was cold (by this area’s standards) this morning.
Starting out later in order to vote might be a good sign.
Well, I posit that all along Route 1 down there, from Woodbridge and south all the way up to Mount Vernon and Alexandria, you can pretty much tell the politics by the skin color. And since it’s not cool to mention skin color, we can’t really say what’s going on in Woodbridge! I’d say only McBuff knows, and he’s staying silent and slovenly about it. But if Romney wins, when I get back to the USA, the first round is on me at Tim’s Rivershore!

The line at the Fairfax Government Center was crazy long at 7:15 this am. It took my daughter and I 3 1/2 hours to finish voting. Several workers there said it’s not normally like that on election day.
Broken glass Republicans.
Woodbridge went Obunga in 08. . .went purple in 10 and I pray to God, full red today!!
no...
is Fairfax a GOP area??
Broken glass Republicans.
I live in Dale City, voted this AM. HUGE turnout.
Spent WAY too much money at Tim's this year. :-)
Strong turnout in Franklin County, VA as well - a Republican stronghold.
VA Ping!

I’ve only lived here about a year. Muawiyah.... your input?
Rich suburb of DC.
I suspect it’s all government-dependant vampires of a different social class.
I worked a polling place for Corey Stewart when he ran for re-election as Supe Chair...my son ran his campaign.
I recall PWC had lots of illegals then so a big prob...
What do you think of Stewart?
