I hear you. This is my 3rd election in Virginia. I vote in the Haymarket precinct in Prince William County - and always vote early. In years past, I've always found an easy parking spot and walked right in. There would usually be two or three people in line for the A-G slot. This morning when I arrived, I was wondering what the hell had happened. The parking lot was full and cars were parked up and down the street for 100 yards in each direction. I found a place to park and walked up. The line went down the hall from a full cafeteria, out the door, down the sidewalk and nearly to the street. There were half a dozen Bush electioneers in the parking lot (in the safe electioneering zone) handing out Bush stickers and Republican sample ballots. There were no Kerry supporters to be seen. We're in a pretty conservative area - and I expected pretty good turnout - but I never expected anything like this.
