I thought Amish didn’t vote?
OH is gonna be a massive bitchslap.
Come on Ohio!!!
No doubt it will be close. VERY close.
The RATs aren’t just going to roll over and let us win. Their voters will turn out too.
According to the MSM polls, we are going to need close to record turnout to win Ohio. According to the anecdotal evidence being reported, we may just get it.
I wonder how many times the “Obama Phone Lady” voted today for Obama?
That’s the key point. Even if they can hit their 2008 percentage, they are still way down in actual votes.
If it was the other way around the MSM would be talking about it all day non-stop.
They didn't used to, but have been more politically active in past few election cycles. The Amish (and the similar Mennonite communities in my area of Ohio) tend to come out to vote where social issues are paramount. This year, at least two groups that I'm aware of have been working to turn out faith-based voters in Ohio, and I'm certain that they have been working in the Amish counties in Ohio as well.

My GOP sources who know OH are telling me turnout is equal to and greater than Bush 2004...
He leaked the announcement of Bin Laden’s death too. This is encouraging!
My feelings EXACTLY. It sucked living under Carter and Clinton, but Zero took it to a new level.
Heading out to get a victory cigar...
I’m hoping for a shot of 30-year-old MacAllan tonight...
I was listening too while I pulled up to the gas station and had to pretend to be on my cell phone at the pump so I could finish listening to Cunningham. Got some weird looks but HELL this is life or death for this country!! I started crying...DO YOU BELIEVE?!!!! YES WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE I BELIEVE!!!
Virginia. Republican voters are really, really pumped.
Hopefully we will see Senator Allen once again.
Champaigne is on ice. Cork will Pop @ 9:01 CST?
Here comes the bleating to keep the polls open later.
That is so funny. I have done the fake phone call before too.
I toasted GWB twice with The MacAllan, but I’m afraid the best I can do tonight is 18-year-old. Hope I get the chance to gently twist the cork from the bottle...

In my dinky teensy weensy precinct, I waited over 30 minutes to vote . Now that’s not bad except I’ve never had to wait more than 3 to 5 minutes.... even in 08 !
GO ROMNEY / RYAN !!!!!!!!!!
