My reddish precinct is so backed up I can’t get in. Have to go back later. Now, I usually vote about an hour later, so I’ll let you know. If all red precincts are coming out like this, it’s over now.

When I was a union member I voted conservative.

West Michigan typically votes republican,

Americans are going to strike back at the MSM created fraud known as Obama.

Lot of Dutch Reformed Church members in the west. My concern in Michigan is more the Detroit suburbs and the region between Detroit and Monroe.

There are hardly any unions left in Western Michigan...And since when do unions have any authority to give members a day off from their employers???

Here in the belly of the beast, the inner D.C. suburb of Arlington, VA, the lines at my location were absolutely staggering. The voting started at 6, and it was obvious that people had starting lining up at 5.

If the other polling places in NoVa are as crowded as that one, McCain is simply going to get wiped out here.

It would be awesome to see many union members using their day off to vote Republican! Of course we’ll never know it, for the same reason that we never really know how people are planning to vote, due to the thuggish pressure put on them. But anecdotally, we’ll know.

Are we talking Grand Rapids area or Benton Harbor? I agree, though, if Western MI turns out that's generally a good sign for us (I grew up in Niles, MI, near South Bend, IN).

That’s exactly what the internal GOP polls said :

I’m going to vote later this morning when the crowds thin out. We’re going to get out the vote here in Michigan for McCain and do our best to overtake Barry’s graveyard bodies and Acorn nuts in Detroit.

I grew up in Berrien County which borders Indiana and right on "The Lake" across from Chicago.

Besides Benton Harbor, the rest of the county USED TO BE fairly conservative. One of my best friends, who lives in Bridgeman Michigan has always voted LIB. Our "political discussions" are "quite interesting".

Detroit precincts are always the last to figure out how many votes are needed. They could exceed their actual population this year...Cynicism or Sarcasm, you decide!

Big voter turnout early this morning in West Michigan. Voters began lining up at 6:00am with long lines forming quickly.

It's the same in Fairfield, CT, too.

Watch the rust belt folks, PA, MI, MN and WI... I’m telling you and have been telling you, Fauxbama is going to lose states here, absolutely no doubt about it.

My little commie/ghetto percent was fairly full, but not the, OMG I’m going to be in line for 4 hours, ordeal one would expect. I think part of that was because they changed locations to a smaller room than 4 years ago. My precent is 80% black, 15% hipster/hippie and a 5% motley collection of conservatives, so I never harbored any hopes of a upset here.

I had to stare at the wall while in line, just so I could avoid seething at the people that would vote liberty away so easily. But oh how I relished voting for McPalin! And I know the outer edge of the black hole of Grand Rapids will always balance out this train wreck we have here every 4 years.

btw, they switched to ink pens as a way to fill in ballots. apparently the IQ of my district was too low to handle punching cards.

Prediction: union card check will be a big factor in the rust belt states. The union bosses love it, but I can’t imagine that the rank and file are looking forward to it. The prospect of a President BHO, Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Majority Leader Reed ramming this through will motivate a lot of rust belters to vote for McCain.
