Thanks. I’m assuming that’s excellent news for our side. Hate to miss Barone, as I know he’s the expert of experts on this stuff.

PA GOES RED TODAY!!!

Well, if you have a good feeling living where you do, I’ll put a smile on my face.

Alaska will stay red although I meet a lot of natives out here in the bush who voted Obama last time. They won’t tell me this time. I wonder why that is? LOL!

[Despot of the Delta]

That means the Amish turned out.

I am so sorry, potlatch. You and yours are in my prayers.

Just voted in Pinellas FL, Left work @ 2:45. Stood in line for 1 hr. Saw my kids dentist holding signs for the local Repubs. Cool!

Romney tells reporters he’s written a victory speech that is 1,118 words long, says it’s only speech he’s written at this point.

Just home from voting in Lexington,SC. Heavy turnout; 150+ in line when I got there, almost 2 hrs to vote, 200+ waiting in line when I left. Upbeat, friendly group near me in line. Feels good!

Unfortunately I ended up missing most of it!

He did say early voting in Northern VA was way down (strong Dem area).

Wife and I just voted in conservative Williamson County, Texas. I swallowed hard and voted for Romney/Ryan, mainly because the third party alternatives (Libertarian, Green) were both too objectionable to me. Also said a silent prayer for our country, although I'm not usually a praying man.

Now it's time to hunker down with the news and the popcorn, and hopefully watch the leftist commentators melt down as the evening progresses.

You guys will love this, just copied from Hillbuzz.

400pm CST — MSNBC is reporting that Barack Obama is spending time with Reggie Love right now at the East Bank Club, “playing basketball”. I swear that’s not a joke. They’re really talking about him and Reggie spending time together on Election Night as a tradition. Isn’t that something you have with your wife (or boyfriend)…an intimate tradition like this? WEIRD. You’d almost think Obama was gay or something (wink).

Chris Matthews’ Hardball is starting soon. Everything before this was just the warmup. I have been waiting for four years to see Matthews meltdown when Obama loses. Read more http://hillbuzz.org/

Let me put in a plug for all you Political Junkies for Barone’s book “Almanac of American Politics” by Michael Barone and Richard E. Cohen — Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about America.

Thanks for the info -- I may ask Santa! ;-)

[Windcatcher]

Not all of us are Commies...there are quite a lot of us Conservatives hiding in plain sight, and we're determined to throw the Obamunist OUT! ;^)

[Persevero]

” Took my daughter and I three and a half hours to get through the line and done voting.”

WOW, it took us like five minutes.

We live in San Francisco, and our voting is always super quick. I doubt that will make any difference, although we continue to vote faithfully - our time will come.

Anyway thank you for your perseverance.

My area of Fairfax, heavily Dem, was at least four times the turnout of 2008. Makes me a little nervous. But sounds like turnout in the red parts of VA is way up also.
