Gosh, it felt good to cast my one wee vote.

I betcha it would feel even better if I drove to Nevada and cast another vote ... and then to CA to cast a third vote. Maybe not. My moral compass would be awry.

I'm a Republican, not a Democrat. One vote for me. The cheaters are on the other side.

I voted this morning. The lines at my precinct were not so bad--about the same as previous Presidential elections.

When I received my ballot, one of those forms where you fill in the little ovals, I filled it out at the closest desk, which happened to belong to another precinct.

The election volunteers freaked out when I handed them my ballot, because I had filled it out at another precinct table, must be null and void! They had a huddle but in the end decided that it was still kosher (whew!)

Are the Exit Pollsters Up To Old Tricks?

I noticed this account of an exit pollster in Stafford, Virginia:

08:32 – AP doing exit polling in Stafford. Talking 4 to 1 to minorities over whites at a Republican precinct (Falmouth). Expect it to be skewed. Don’t trust the exit polls as they start to trickle out.

Only an anecdote, but not promising. Are the exit pollsters aiming for egg on their faces two presidential races in a row?

The Hillbuzz site is claiming Obama's supporters in Chicago (Grant Park) are quietly reducing their expectations. Nice.

[Link: hillbuzz.wordpress.com...]

Five things to watch tonight

Two states draw frequent mention from the experts: Ohio and Florida, yet again.

But there are also a few other states that are often cited as possible trouble spots in the event of record turnout: Colorado, Georgia and Virginia. Technical failures in Denver in November 2006 led thousands of prospective voters to leave polling places without voting. In Georgia, stricter voter identification requirements could lead to problems this year. In Virginia, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recently filed suit, accusing the state of not allocating enough voting machines, poll workers and polling places, particularly in precincts with a large minority population.

Not a peep about Pennsylvania. I'm going with Hillbuzz- PA's the state to watch.

Why is it that I could watch election coverage on the TV last presidential election cycle, but this year I can't? As a matter of fact, I haven't watched news in a week.

So which DVD should it be, Aquateen Hungerforce season II, The Great Santini, or the Spongebob Squarepants movie?

McCain has somehow got to pull this out. With all the fraud & intimidation in this election, try to imagine how rigged the system will be in the midterm & next general election if this mob gets in.

Maybe.

WARNING: this is how Election Day is going to go down. Do not get sucked in, Eeyores!

We don’t want to beat a dead horse here (or, donkey, as the case may be), but we need to remind you all, once more, not to be Eeyores today.

The Obamedia is going to do to you what they did to Hillary supporters during the primaries — they are going to lie, and float all sorts of incorrect exit polls, and start revving up to declare Obama the winner.

Drudge Report — mark our words — is going to run that flashing red/blue siren he loves to report McCain losing all sorts of traditional Republican states around midday. He’s going to get all of you Eeyores hyperventilating.

The goal of the Obamedia is to depress you so much you don’t turn out to vote. Our friend Astrid always falls for this garbage, and we know she is not all alone. She’ll be miserable all day because she’s never learned to turn out the media and just chill out.

This is going to go down just like Super Tuesday - where the media claimed Obama would win California, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and others…but Clinton won every state we predicted she’d win.

In fact, we were right about every state in the primaries except Missouri, which Clinton lost by less than 1%. Otherwise, we were spot-on.

So, we know you Eeyores are going to drive everyone in your lives crazy today. You are going to panic and wet yourselves and email/call/bother all of your friends and relatives all day. You’ll forward bogus polls and terrible links to everyone, and depress people left and right.

We have no idea why you people behave this way and really wish you would stop. Because we’ve been through this with you since New Hampshire and just think it’s all so ridiculous.

Here’s our advice: take a break from news today — consider everything you hear to be lies. Watch some cool movies (our favorite of all time is The Contender with Joan Allen), eat a nice sandwich, have a nap (or two), then tune into the Election Results around 10pm or so CST to see the final tallies add up and wait for a winner.

The rest of the day will just drive you over the edge — and then you will spread this Eeyore gloom and doom to everyone else, because that seems to be what you do.

We will never understand that.

But, we know you’ll do it, because you’ve consistently done it since January. It’s very predictable.

Just like the election results.

McCain wins 286 to 252…and America gets its first female Vice President.

And on November 5th, we start campaigning for 2012.

I voted. happy to report it was non-eventful. I didn't even get the evil stink eye I usually get when they ruler down to my name and see the "R".

Spent the morning being an election judge. There were just over 1100 registered voters in the precinct. About 200 of them came in in the first hour. By the time I left, after the polls had been open for 7 hours, more than half the registered voters in the precinct had voted, including over 100 people who had registered to vote that day. And they still have the after-work rush to deal with.

re: #72 stuiec

Maybe. I think you can give away something as a retailer if you offer it to everyone who voted regardless of who they voted for (though I am not sure), but I know one of the mayoral candidates in Oakland got in trouble a few years ago for offering free meal coupons to voters, which is considered buying votes.

Something I posted in the previous thread before it became dead:

If I had kids going to the middle school where I voted, I would demand that the English teachers be fired.

The Student Council had signs up announcing a fundraising screening of Wall-E. The movie is free, they plan to make their profit from selling snacks.

Well, one sign had no fewer than three misspelled words. "Admition" for "admission," "durring" for "during," and "intermition" for "intermission."

Another sign had "concessions" spelled as "consesions."

In addition the grammar on the signs was very bad.

Oh, this school is in an upper middle class neighborhood and is one of those schools with all those "excellence in education" honors.

I appreciate those little factoids at the bottom of FOX News' screen, but some of them are so obvious that they should be taken out of the rotation, such as:

I am sure you have seen Saving Private Ryan. I feel like the scene where the American and big German guy go at it hand to hand and the big guy starts to overpower the American. He gets the knife and starts to bear down as the American realizes there is nothing to do and his strength is failing him. He screams out, "WAIT!" And the German sort of looks at him and continues to press down simply saying "Shhh." And there is the other American in the room, who has his rifle with him, who does nothing to help, simply cowers in the corner.

If you're in Iowa, and will vote for McCain, then get up and do it!

If Iowa truly is in play, then I'd say the One is in some serious trouble.

Interesting- Hillbuzz had a contact that told them the same thing, though they were doubtful.

I voted here in NM. Walked right in.

NM switched to idiotic paper ballots. Now you have to scribble little ovals in like a standardized test. One screw up with the pen (a million judges up for approval yes/no, gets mind numbing), and you start over with a new ballot. Anyway, the annoying thing about paper is that a poll worker stands there and feeds it into the machine to count it. Said worker is free to read the ballot as it goes in. So much for the secret ballot. They'll know to put me in the Obama reeducation camps now, even though I am registered independent. :)

Oh brother, my moonbat friend just recounted a story of being accosted by a repub neighbor going beserk over Democrat flyers being stuffed in mailboxes.Friend hinted that it must have been something the repub read on the internet. I told her the lady obviously had deeper issues than politics, or perhaps my friend believes that anyone not supporting Obama with good reason is unbalanced.

Why no exit polls so far? Is it because they weren't looking right? Or was it because they were looking right?

I believe 3 or 4 of the major cities will have violence (not horrific violence, more like riots you see some times after a major sporting loss) if Obama loses.

I certainly hope the incessant drone of "stole the election", "re-defeat", "selected not elected" doesn't keep on through a McCain administration, but I am not holding my breath.

Voted here in MN at 3:50 was in line for 38 minutes, and the voting machine (optical scanner) had 1634 votes tallied on it. Which means they have been averaging about 180 votes per hour at our precinct.

84% of people polled said they'd never participate in a poll.

Some thoughts on The One's iron fisted rule for the next 4 years, some in jest.. Can you tell which?

1) Higher taxes on the rich making over $250K, $150K, $120K, $50K… etc.
2) Domestic “security force” to make sure you’re tithing enough and not insulting our Dear Leader with that pesky 1st amendment
3) Higher energy prices by outlawing coal, and gasoline, and oil and barbeque
4) What little is left of the military will be used for “domestic” operations, against terrorists who try to exercise their 2nd amendment rights..
5) We don’t really need Isreal anyway..
6) Columbia scholars trying to figure out how to kill 25 million citizens who cannot be reeducated.
7) Department of Peace led by William Ayers
8 ) Required morning listening speeches by Rev Wright about the dear leader
9) Supreme Court which reviews the UN’s policies, and the Constitution is just for historical reference.
10) Abortion up to the 10th month of pregnancy so women won’t be burdened
11) Regulated Internet.. Dissension and free thought will not tolerated..
12) Your 401k’s will be the government’s property.. Feel free to chip in another 3% of whatever is left of your salary.. The givernment will “give” you another 600$ a year
13) The US flag will be redesigned to have one red star on a white background. Blue stripes will be red, white stripes will remain. We’re all one now under the Dear Leader, why be divisive with the 57 stars representing the 57 states?
