FWIW,
6 AM line at my precinct was unprecedented. Couldn’t gauge the tenor of my fellow voters, but in a state so clearly in Obama’s camp, my gut tells me there were more people coming out to vote AGAINST Obama, than voting for him.
Granted, that won’t in any way change the outcome in Illinois, but if this attitude is emerging elsewhere, I think all bets are off.
I voted this morning in Warren County, OH (25 miles north of Cincinnati). One of the reddest of red Ohio counties. The lines were unprecedented. Easily 5x as many folks there when the polls opened than in 2004. GOP turnout is through the roof.
