Good report, McBuff. Thanks.
Bump.
Same here in teensy weensy Norvell Michigan. Serious turnout at both precincts.
is your county blue red or purple?
Did they look like Republicans (cheery, optimistic, well-groomed) or Democrats (silent, sullen, slovenly dressed)?
Huge turnout bad news for incumbants.
Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet graduated from Woodbridge High School in 1981 and lived across the street from it. Where are you?
A Failed Communist.
If America votes for 0bama, then I secede and those other people can have him as their president.
It’s like that here in rural central Virginia. I’m going out a bit later to vote, but my husband went earlier. Usually we can just walk right up to the voting machine, or at the most we might have to wait for one or two people to finish. Today, husband said the place was packed, with a line wrapped around the building.
Believe me, that’s a first, and an astonishing one.
But much of Northern Virginia is made up of government workers. Some of these might be military. What’s your sense as to the type of voters, pro-Obama or pro-Romney?
CNBC was on the TV this morning in the gym...they were interviewing some guy named Larry (not Kudlow)...i could not hear the volume but read the CC....
i don’t know if Larry is a pollster, economist, prognosticator...
anyway they were grilling this guy as he said through September that obozo would win the election than in October changed it to Romney...he basically said Romney would win because of voter enthusiasm in the GOP, the polls were rigged with high rat samples, the rats would not get the turnout they did in 2008- same stuff we’ve been saying at Freep for three months....
now here’s the important part- he was in Fairfax, Virginia being interviewed remotely and they start talking about Virginia...this and that, etc...finally this Larry says to the hosts in the CNBC studios “i know you can see that long line of voters behind me- that does not bode well for the president”...
Heard on the teevee: “The most dangerous place to be today is between a Republican voter and a polling booth.”
WMAL said 1000 turn out this morning.
I just figure those long lines and hours of waiting are the same people that were willing to wait 4 hours for a chicken sandwich :)
Broken glass Republicans.
Broken glass Republicans.
Strong turnout in Franklin County, VA as well - a Republican stronghold.

Is that a coal town?
We’ve already decided in our family that if Romney wins we are going to church and getting down on our knees and thanking God for one last chance. We may be hung over from partying for a couple days in celebration but I think God will understand. Go R/R!
We had a long line here in Gulf Shores, Alabama also. The line went out the door across the parking lot, and down the side walk. Although once I got in line it didn’t take as long as I thought it would. What took my time was reading all the amendments we are voting on here in Alabama.
I’m near Tysons Corner where I’m a poll watcher. Easily 100 ppl in line consistently since 6 am. Most ever. Thankfully, most have GOP sample ballot.
