Not good if you ask me, big turnout in NC usually isn't good for the R's

I know two yellow dog Democrats in that area who switched to Republican. I think there are going to be surprises in these "secure" Dem races.

Voted early this morning in Forsyth County in a predominately Republican area and the poll was packed. I have never seen it like this, except during Presidential elections.

I just hope that all Republican areas have good turnout.

One thing did bother me, my husband had to vote ahead of time and I looked at the book as I was being checked in and they had nothing marked on his name about having voted.

Doesn't a higher an average voter turnout traditionally favor the Pubs???

In our precinct the machine counter was already on 562 by 10:00 AM when me and my wife voted. It is a Republican Area though.

Early voters are generally Republican because it coincides with:
  1. Jobs
  2. Getting up early
  3. Following the rules

    Late voters, extension of hours and vanloads of people driving from polling place to polling place are better indicators of Democrat turnout.

Christian Coalition put out the largest number of voting guides to Churches across America they had done since 1994 I was told. This could bode very well for us if the Christian Evangelicals are out voting today like they were in 1994!

High voter turnout sucks.

Things are not looking good for the GOP.

And just imagine how many more immigrants will be registered to vote by 2004.

Our political future is quite bleak.

I voted (straight R) a little over an hour ago here in WNC, I was only # 274 in our precinct -- the poll workers said that it was a little below normal. It is really bad weather here today, cold and rainy. Our polulation is considerably older than the national or state averages, possibly a lot of them have simply decided not to go out in the weather. Since a lot of those older voters are AARP/FDR/knee-jerk Dems, that might be a good thing.

Voted this morning in Forsyth Co. around 7:50 a.m. and the line was out the door. My precinct is heavily Republican. Voted straight Republican ticket although Liddy doesn't do much for me but she's 100 times preferable to Irksome Bowels (aka Icabod Crane in pinstripes).

Richard Burr (our 5th district congressman) will win handily. He's a fine man. I wanted him to run for the Senate seat but I don't think he'd have been able to prevail against Irksome in the long run.

This is going to be a nail biting night. If I wasn't so sure of massive RAT fraud, I'd feel more confident about the Senate seats going Republican.
Those loathsome cretins will do ANYTHING to keep the Senate.

FOX just reported that Dems have admitted they were wrong about strong black turnout. The numbers were disappointing...
