[Laura722]

My mom and I will be heading out shortly to vote for Romney/Ryan and the rest of the Republican ticket here in NC. I’m so pumped! Lets get rid of this Marxist!

[struggle]

Going to vote in NC right now

[Theo]

LONG line here in Georgia, west of ATL, at 7 am. Maybe 3 city blocks.

[bgill]

I’m in although I probably won’t be able to load it after about 10 a.m. CDT.

Yep, the gremlins seem to hit at 10 these days so I logged on early to catch up on things. Fingers and toes crossed that today is worth getting up for but not counting on it.

[Nuc 1.1]

Amen.

Wife voting at 0700, Pinellas Co, FL. Sent me a text @ 0645; huge line of people standing in a light rain, nowhere to park.

From my little corner of the world.

I was in line at 5:45AM EST. I was #6 in line. All working men ahead of me.

In ‘08, I arrived at the same time and was probably #20 or so in line. I was surrounded by young people, many talking about never having voted before. Many in house clothes, which is to say not going to work.

When the polls opened at 6:00 this morning, there were 40-50 working Americans in line patiently waiting to vote. The crowd was bigger than 2000 and 2004, but they were the real face of the precinct; working men and woman. By the time I voted and left, there were 100 or more in line. All dressed for work.

Based on my narrow view of things from the line I stand in to vote every election, Republicans are turning out big time.

Every year, the guy running the precinct comes out and does the “Hear ye, hear ye. The polls are now open.” It’s really worth getting up for and standing in the cold. For me, it is an affirmation of my freedom. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

Just returned from voting. Some local newsgal, pollster, whatever asked me as I came out “ Are you here to vote?” I said ‘Duh, I’ve waited four years for this moment.’ “May I ask who you voted for?” ‘Sure. Romney.’ “ Was that because you are racist as some people are saying for motivation?” I said ‘ Not at all. I hate his white half too.’ The look on her face was worth the whole episode.

[who knows what evil?]

No one in line in my Red Hampshire ‘hood this morning...eighteen degrees. Polls open at eight...

[cschroe]

Father in law in Repub precinct in Va Beach, VA, always there right around when poll opens usually is #1-10 when he votes. This morning he texted me and he was #300! At least a good sign from his place!

Don’t forget to wish Lazmataz Happy Birthday... (he wants a New President and a Pony)

Wow, that's really cool.

LOL! Priceless!!

Chrissy Matthews? Just askin’

First in line in District 2 New London CT. VERY blue neighborhood yet an astounding lack of Obama voters. Out the door by 6:07. Everything seemed to be working well.

Ledyard, CT. Poll doors open at 0600 but made the voters stand out in the 24 degrees for 20 minutes before any voters actually taken in to vote.

[tomkat]

I had the distinct privilege of casting the first vote in my little village !

Got to my polling place in central PA at 0630, and by the time the doors opened at 7 there were already ~25 in line, with more cars pulling in every minute or two.

Great chatter with several others who got there shortly after me, with the concensus being we were all more eager to cast today's votes than any time since Reagan !

When the election official asked for my name, I took my time getting the wallet out, while stating in a clear full voice that "I'm (tomkat) and I'm proud to show my eligibility to vote for President Romney".

It's gonna be a long day's wait, but by tonight we'll have served a tsunami-sized eviction notice on the most hideous presidential mistake this country's ever made !

I know this: If Obama wins this thing...I never want to hear another word about oversampling of democrats in polls. Even if its a close Romney win...all this talk about oversampling will be proven wrong.

Here's to hoping there's something to this idea and here's to an early end of the night...
