visiting relatives in north carolina. drove by several polling places throughout conservative leaning areas this morning on errands. All seemed pretty dead. My brother in law voted at 7:30am and said there was only 4 people in line, all elderly, and that in a very heavy repub district. Doesn’t look good for tillis. Maybe conservatives have decided no reason to keep getting tricked like blacks do for dims. That old hag hagan will be heading back to do more damage and that little punk clay aiken will be slurpin’ sundaes with hairy reid behind closed doors. just glad barney frank has moved on!! brother in law also said he was the only one that voted in his whole office, out of 27 folks. bad sign.
Maybe the folks in that area voted early? Who knows.

I don’t think the news is overwhelmingly bad. In my small town, I got there at 8:30, and was voter #133, and I was voter #143 around the same time in 2012. The one thing that looks weird in the early voting is that while the make up is essentially the same as previous years, the elderly were in force and the young completely skipped out. That’s definitely going to be a shift away from the Democrats. NC went against Obama in 2012, so I don’t think Hagan is going to be reelected even with a strong Dem turn-out.
Furthermore, Twitter is abuzz with Haugh, the libertarian, whose only platform is pot legalization. That should cost Hagan some votes.
