Daughter and I voted in District 8 (Bucks County), Steady turn-out, heavier than I’ve seen for mid-terms in the past. This is a typical Philly suburb, mixed bag, leans a bit Dem now, but still plenty of established, conservative, “God, baseball and apple pie” families.

We went to Bible Study this morning at a polling place in Northeast Philly (not sure the District), the “pamphleteers” standing outside the doors said it was light to middlin’ turn-out. This area is decidedly more Dem. leaning than where we vote.

It’s looking good. I do believe the admiral is wearing his bell-bottom trousers on backwards.

In my "red" district, I was 609 just after noon. That is phenomenal!

I cannot remember what I was in 2008, but I think I was around 550 at the same time of day. If we actually match a Presidential election turn out, it will be a good day for Republicans.

Good Bye Feingold, Good Bye Kagan!!!!!

Every parking place taken in the lot at my southern York County polling place at 9:30 AM - nothing like two years ago but heavier than normal for an off year election.

Wife just voted and was # 1217 of about 3500 registered voters.

The local school district has been on strike for two weeks and their pickets were out in droves, walking up and down past the school with their signs and reminding everyone what Democrats do when they get into power.

A busload of retired folks from the retirement center drives by and sees that, I'm sure that went over big with folks who aren't getting a COLA two years in a row, and our top step teachers get 92K a year.

Glad to hear that. I hear the GOP turnout in Florida is very high too and not so for the dems. With Rubio doing very well, he may just pull Scott over the finish line ahead of the Obamatron Sink inspite of what the RINO’s here think.

I’ve added the freaking Weather Channel to my list of not to watch any more! This morning that horsefaced Stephanie Abrams was telling people that rain meant more Republican turn out so “be aware of that!” - then the clown from CBS interviewed Russell Simmons who did a personal ad for Obama.....

The protective cocoon that covers people like her is soon going to be unraveled by reality and when it happens people like her are just not going to able to cope.

CORRECTION: District has about 2800 registered voters so we were at about 42% turnout at the time of my post.

Red district slowly turning bluer and darker with Baltimore exurbs moving in.
