The "silent majority" is speaking.

Considering I saw your post last night that PA was really close, that makes me feel much better. :)

From what I'm hearing higher up in the campaigns, the GOP voting turnout in this rural area of PA (that went 62-34 to Bush) is OFF THE FRICKIN CHARTS!!!

I drive through rural Lancaster County to get to work. I passed one polling place and there must have been 100 people waiting. And the Amish seem to be coming out to vote - saw two buggies approaching that polling area, and saw 10-12 others, when normally I might see one that early in the morning.

If Bush Wins PA, it will be more than an early night for Dan Rather. He might as well not even report for work. He should prolly get a bed at the local hospital anyway with a nice slow IV drip.............

I'm voting in Virginia. I've voted at the same polling place for the last 12 years. The lines are typically ot the door but I can vote in 15 minutes. Even during a presidential year I can usually be in and out in minutes. I always vote early. This morning I waited in line for exactly 1 hour before voting and had to park 2 blocks away from the church to vote! My area is thoroughly Republican and W supporters are turning out in droves.

I hope so..

but I participated in the GOTV effort in the inner city (Philly) and let me tell you they have a giant population. Some will vote for Bush, but most will prolly go Kerry. (You should see the number of churches there -- amazing.)

Is there a way to check to see if someone has voted? My mother died on Saturday in a nursing home in NJ and we were talking about the possibility that someone would vote for her.

Here in Alabama, in my mostly Republican precinct, the line was longer than I have ever seen it. Lots of determined Republicans. I admit this is purely anecdotal, but the base is really fired up!!

[BallyBill]

When I voted at 9AM there was a fine young lady handing out Republican pamphlets and the Bush sign was posted at the legal distance. However, no one was there for democrats. On my way out I saw the posters with Gov Rendell and the dems behind the bushes. I'm sure that was were they were dropped off by the dem party, but no one was there to setup. There was a chance of rain so the dems must have stayed home.

Hope so. On the Dom Giordano radio show in Philadephia last night, however, the Democrat DA in Philadelphia basically gave the green light for voter fraud. When asked what she planned to do to keep vote fraud to a minimum, she said that they were going to make very certain that no vote "supression or intimidation" took place. Dom asked her again specifically about vote fraud, and she gave the same answer. To me, that says that all bets are off in Philly. Bush/Cheney better have TONS of poll watchers in Philadelphia tonight.

I have always felt, throughout this election campaign season, that huge numbers of core Conservatives are going to come out and give GWB his mandate this year.

Bush 55%....Kerry 44%

Good News!

Report from Central PA - 19th Congressional District.

I voted this morning after standing in line for 50 minutes. I have never had to wait in line before. The Republican base is out in force. The 19th Congressional district does not even have a Democrat on the ticket for congress. Republicans in this district usually win with 60% to 80% of the vote. I think it is looking good for PA, just depends on having enough people in Central PA to counter the voter turn out in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

[goldstategop]

Bush needs to carry the Pittsburgh and Philly suburbs and win BIG in the countryside in between to take the state. If he can do that, he'll be re-elected and what happens in Ohio won't matter. Hope to God that happens - we could use some good news tonight.

“ ...the GOP voting turnout in this rural area of PA

So that 'outta take a few points off the free-cheese, deceased, insane, rapist-felon, gay, gang, street-vermin, drug-lord, transsexual and bipolar vote in Philadelphia.

[ManHunter]

Josh, where you from? I'm originally from Warren County, but now live in Richland Township (Johnstown area). From what I saw when my wife and I voted this morning, voter turnout is pretty heavy here too and I'm hearing the same from others. We need VERY heavy turnout from the rural areas to offset what is already occurring in Pgh and Philthydelphia.

Remember all: one of the planes that the islamonazifascists grabbed went down in PA.

Reporting for a first-time PA voter in State College, Centre County. < salute >

Line was medium-sized, but not overwhelmingly long. I was in and out in about 40 minutes. Quite a few K/E buttons, but that's not unexpected in a college town. I had to show a picture ID as a first-time PA voter.

Bush, Specter (ugh), Petersen

[Alberta's Child]

If Bush wins Pennsylvania, we may see a 400-electoral vote total for the GOP.

On the other hand, it might also be one half of an unlikely scenario that I posted here on FreeRepublic last spring -- in which Bush wins Pennsylvania while Kerry wins Ohio. This is not as outlandish a scenario as most pundits might think.

[CaptRon]

Called my dad early this morning to tell him we need to carry PA. He'd already voted.
