Let the Landslide Begin

An early voting report from Virginia's 1st Congressional District, epicenter for today's expected GOP tsunami in the Old Dominion.

I reside in York County, not far from Fort Eustis and the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center. The district is heavily Republican; John McCain got more than 60% of the vote here last year.

Polls open in Virginia at 6 a.m. I arrived at my voting place (a local elementary school) at 6:45. The parking lot was 80% full at that hour, and more cars were arriving by the minute. The level activity seemed comparable to what I saw during the most recent presidential election, although I voted later in the day in 2008.

Outside the precinct, the GOP had two pollworkers passing our sample Republican ballots. Demand was heavy; by comparison, the Democrats had just one representative handing out their sample ballots. With the exception of a few African-American voters, there were virtally no takers.

Inside the polling place, there were 20 people ahead of me in line. However, the ballot is short (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and one race for the House of Delegates), so the line moved quickly. I was out the door at 6:50 a.m. and by that time, almost 200 people had voted at this particular precinct.

Outside the school, signs for the Republican team (Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli) outnumbered those for the Democratic candidates by at least an 8-1 margin. However, this is a solidly Republican district, so you'd expect to see that sort of advantage for the GOP.

For all FReepers in VA: you know your mission for today. Get out and vote, and put the Old Dominion back in the GOP column. And while you're at it, say a prayer for Chris Christie and Doug Hoffman.

As Rush says, fourth-generation democrat parasite voters don't even wake up until noon.

Many of them never wake up, but are still faithful democrat voters.

Or cry in your beer as you probably did last November. Hopefully, today is a good day!

[napscoordinator]

I will pray for a Hoffman win, but not a RINO...sorry no prayers for Christie (for his health yes, but not for some job).

I’m in Fauquier County, very few voters at 6:15. Fewer Deeds signs than McDonnell signs. My precinct goes 60% republican every time.

May the Armies of Good outvote the Armies of ACORN and Holder’s Army DOJ-Protected Black Panthers

This is too hard to hide. Its a political tsunami.

Pray for America’s Freedom

I knew Obama was going to kick McCain halfway down the stairs last year, because we nominated such a LOOOOOOOOSER.

So there was no beer, but there was no crying either, last year...as I now recall.

[novemberslady]

You’re a democratic troll.

[surfer]

Well when you have the government rigging the election with taxpayer dollars you don’t have to go out and vote...

[MissMagnolia]

From VA - I’m finding more and more opportunities to say “So, how’s that Hope & Hype workin’ for you these days?” I’m not getting much push back - few eye rolls, dirty look or two, but no one really defending The One with any vigor.

[jpl]

Voted in Arlington, the belly of the beast, at shortly after 7:00, and the place was empty, whereas a year ago the line was well over two hours long at the same place.

Landslide baby.

GREAT FRONTLINE REPORT!!! Thank YOU!

As Rush says, fourth-generation democrat parasite voters don't even wake up until noon.

Welfare recipients don't wake up until noon either. These might be the tax paying, working conservatives. You think?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Excellent report.

They are demoralized.

The Rats cannot get their base out in 2009.

They are in for the asskicking of their lives tonight in Virginia. Woo Hoo! Great report. Excellent intel.

[Ann Archy]

MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD in NEW JERSEY!! MASSIVE!!!

[leapfrog0202]

Thanks for the first hand report and thanks for getting out there and voting!

I truly think the tide is turning and WH spin or not, I believe this is a referendum on zer0’s “hope and change”.

[riri]

What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall in the Obama war room this evening.

[AmericanInTokyo]

That is why FOX NEWS' newstaff and pollsters, if they ARE lurking here, are kindly advised to segment out OBAMA VOTERS (Dems, and especially independents and Republicans) from 2008 at those exit polls today, and find out how many of them switched this year and went with the Republican or the Conservative in the race, and also if they did it out of a sense of dillusionment with Obama and all the Hope/Change hype of just one year ago.

If that number and sentiment is quantifiable, and is big, then that will be a HUGE news story for tonight on the networks--or at least FOX. MAN I hope that gets reports just as much, if not more, than the actual results of the elections themselves.

New Jerseyans, get some respect back, and get rid of that damn crook Corzine.

[RetSignman]

[As Judge Napolitano said this morning, corzine will not stay on as governor if he wins.
Corzine is planning to take a post with bambi.]

Way to go Judge, now if any dem or moderate who was leaning towards voting for Christie will probably lean back to corzine.

“Oh what hell, why vote against my conscience when he’s going to leave anyway”
