Thanks!
I think Minnesota is going to go Blue. I heard 2 older people in line infront of me saying how they just decided in the past couple of days who they were going to vote for. From the likes of it, it sounded like Kerry. The one guy said "Things were going great under Clinton" and the lady later added that she thought "Patty Wetterling was so nice." Clinton and Wetterling are both Democrats. There was a guy in line with a Bush button(against the rules) but no one said anything to him. Just looking around, I could spot Democrats...lots of women out there early voting...who tend to be Democrats.
On the way out...at the edge of the school...there was a guy out there with a MoveOn Pac sign...he said, "thanks for voting" as I put on my Kerry knit hat and walked the block back to my house.

Over at DU...they're reporting HUGE turnout in Virginia. It's been in the weak Bush column for some time now. Think we'll be seeing that Blue tonight. I think this will be wrapped up tonight now.
Bush is toast.

+1 for Bush in Johio
For the past month ive been impressed with Kerry in debates and whatnot, plus he swears and thats cool and makes him a badass but when I got there I just took a long hard look and decided I was going to vote for Bush. I mean, he's just adorable. Plus a brotha just cant get enough of that ass(his daughters)
Ohh well. Good luck to both of them, either way im sure i wont care as much as everyone else here.

+1 Kerry in Pennsylvania - I voted absentee a few weeks ago.
At the last minute I decided to stay registered at my parents address (in BFE) because one of my high school buddies is in a tight race for state rep (he *should* still win however) so that I could vote for him.. I get there at 6:45 (15 minutes before the polls open) and there is a line of about 100 people. Doesnt seem that impressive until you realize a total of 23 people voted in that precinct in 2000. Turnout is going to be CRAZY if this is any indication (and being hardcore Bush country, I would expect turnout to be better in battleground states). Random note: my parents live in the middle of farm land that is somehow gone democratic forever, dont ask me, I lived there for 18 years and I never understood how.
For what its worth (nothing) +1 Kerry in Texas.

Hey dipshit -- I called you out in another thread for trolling, and you've made 4-5 posts SINCE then without responding. I strongly suggest that you answer Raoul's question...ASAP.Makura said:

I don't think I can wait around that long, either.Seth C said:
Trustworthy how? They don't make things up, but whether you want to go by their methodology is... well, up to you. They only use the most recent poll (they moved to averaging at one point, but most people seemed to hate it), only leaving certain polling groups out if it's known that they do push polls. So since not even the pollsters agree much, and the numbers are close anyway, the map recently has more to do with who happens to have the most recent poll.Dreamfixx said:
+1 Kerry, Virginia
waited for 1.5 hours, which my dad tells me is very long for this polling place (I've only voted in an off-year election since changing where I'm registered, so this is my first time doing it at this particular location for a presidential race so I have no first-hand experience myself).

www.electoral-vote.com is getting hammered.
Zogby is now predicting a repeat of 2000.

Given that they are averaging poll data, and some states have one poll saying Bush by 5 and another poll saying Kerry by 5 its pretty much meaningless at this point.. not to mention only 20 percent of people contacted by polling groups are responding.
the real numbers to pay attention to are the total number of people voting.. if it gets over 112 million people, Kerry wins. If its under 108 million Bush wins, somewhere in the middle and who knows what will happen.
My guess? 118 million will show up and Kerry will take it. Thats as much wishfull thinking as anything else though.
