It's only fitting:Check in with voters at Our Mother of Sorrows church in Louisville, Kentucky, to get a sense of the sour mood rippling across the country this Election Day.
Seventy-four-year-old Jim Brinley, casting his ballot for Republicans, thinks an over-reaching government is "ruining us" and wants to "get back to government as it should be."
Democrat Keisha Matlock, a 38-year-old college student,wonders aloud,"Why do we even vote?" as she casts her ballot for Democrats.
Matlock sees "constant griping back and forth about who's right. And, who's going to do this. And, who's going to do that in office. Sometimes, they say these things and they never do it when they get in there."
Yet there is hope mixed in with the voices of anger and cynicism.
Listen to Danielle Glover, 28, who voted in Commerce City, an industrial suburb northeast of Denver. She hopes Democrats can hold off a Republican takeover of the Senate. But whatever the results, she says, "I would hope that once we get past the election, that elected officials from both parties can sit down and work on policies together."
Listen to construction worker Rebecca Cziryak,who was out at dawn Tuesday to vote the Republican line in New Jersey, predicting it could mean more job sites in her future.
"Believe it or not,when the Republicans are in full force, I work more," says Cziryak,who voted at a community college in Gloucester Township,near Camden.
Listen to Kristi Johnson, a pharmacist who voted at a community college in Raleigh, N.C., also hoping Republicans retake the Senate.
Republicans, she says, could "help us iron out" problems with the president's health care law and other matters.
As for President Barack Obama, who's not on the ballot but still very much on the minds of many voters, Johnson says: "I'm just waiting for him to be gone."

I noticed... now why might they do that?
Today, I did something I never thought I would do...”hold my nose and pull the single lever for all Republicans.”
Today will go down in history as the most important event ever to happen in America...or what’s left of it.
Today, the people will vote to end the only chance America had to survive as a free nation or to become a nation ruled by a dictatorship. If the Democrats win, all is lost. If the Republicans win, we at least have a chance.
Yes, I pulled the single lever and I feel that I had violated every moral thread in my body but I had no choice. Not to pull the single lever for the Republicans was not an option for placing a any Democrat vote was a vote for the enemy of freedom and liberty.
I have always voted for the man...not the party but today changed everything and in the morning I hope to awake and find that we do have a chance to save what is left of our country after all.
Tomorrow you may wake up to the headline DEMOCRATS RUN OUT OF COUNTRY ON A RAIL.
“Skittle pooping unicorns will ride turtles through waters made of butterfly smiles”
Too funny!
I held my nose and voted for Cornyn.
Baby Bush? Nope, I voted for the “L”
NO MORE BUSH’S EVER!
They must stick to the script.
I'm 69 and taking college courses.
LOL...ain’t that the truth?!
Man, I went to get a bottle of the Flat Creek Almond champagne and some other conservative had bought it all out yesterday! Winery is only 10 miles from here. So I got their Raspberry champagne. Maybe it’s serendipity, time for a change!
Still wrong. I didn’t hold my nose. I was sniffing the air with my nostrils flared as wide as they would go. Smells like . . . . . victory.
It wasn’t me, I promise! Lol ;-)
Have my fave wine in the wine fridge....waiting....
Not a damn thing. But I'm quite happy to make the Dems cry and scream.
For my experience today, “many” is the key word. I voted about 3pm to avoid the crowd, but got surprised...a real crowd. The polling person told me this was the “lightest” crowd they had had all day. So it is a heck of a turnout in my area where nothing is really disputed (SC low country).
I voted for the “L”
Now that!!!!!!! stinks, clueless?????
Is this grandma bush? or barry smitherman?
or dewhurst?
must be one.
