Go america go!

You guys better elect Obama today, or else we (the rest of the world) are sinking your country into the ocean, Atlantis style.

+1 Obama

Just got back, lines weren't nearly as long as I expected. Once it started, it took about 45 minutes for me to get to a machine. Sweet.

Now I guess the hard part really starts, waiting.

He was such a scumbag. Complaining that Iraq settled down too soon. And the surge "working" and taking Iraq out of the headlines hurting McCain. If only it would have happened a little later. Wat!

Then talking about how, yeah, Obama won the debates, but it's a shame that style over substance won. Cause, yeah, McCain is nothing but effing substance.

+2 for Obama in North Georgia. Went with my mom, got to the polls at 6:30...there was already around 200 people there. Polls opened at 7:00, we got outta there by 8:15 so it wasnt too bad.

Damn neighbours stole my yard sign last night! I'm surprised it lasted 2 weeks tbh, I'm about to go get a red one right now! I'm tempted to buy a blue and a red but since my last one was blue I want them to see it is a new sign.

Later! GObama!

Okay looks like I am about to get out there again! Just got calls from a few people asking for rides to the polls. Earlier than I had been expecting, but, it's no problem, especially with gas being relatively 'cheap' these days. So wish me luck.

Well, I still have to haul myself to class today, but after that I'm pretty much plan to be near a computer or TV by 7 to watch shit unfold.

I am watching the live feed from CBS of Obama's polling location cause he is expected to show up any minute now. WILLIAM AYERS JUST SHOWED UP. The reporters started freaking out and shouting questions at him.

Would have been hilarious had he showed up wearing McCain/Palin gear.

So North Carolina turnout might be low today? Woot!

I'm going to take my mom to the polls in a few minutes here in Pasco County, Florida. I'll report what I see but it looks like this area is pretty conservative with some very rabid Palin cultists, signs everywhere along the street and sign wavers everywhere promoting their campaign the past few days.

McCain's outrageous attacks about "palling around with terrorists" were just as bad though. If negative attacks determine your vote like with Hagan I can't see how you'd vote McCain when he has run some of the dirtiest attack ads in a presidential election in quite a while. Dirtier than Bush in 2000 and 2004 that's for sure.

My friend was telling me a bunch of Republicans who've already voted are going to the "blacker" parts of Jackson, MS to stand in line just to discourage democratic voters. Gotta love how election day brings out the best in people.

+2 for Obama in Texas.

Line was short, but there.

Make sure to remember to thank your poll workers. It's a terrible, but incredibly necessary job.

I just like to remind people. Dont freak out about exit polls. Early voting swung very heavy Democrat, so voting on election day will naturally be more Republican than it otherwise would have been.

+2 Obama and Warner in Virginia. The western part even. Line was about 30 minutes long at 6:30 am. At least a 1/3 to 1/2 more than that by the time I got out. Long lines :(.

From the BBC:
There are reports of problems with electronic voting machines in New Jersey, with paper ballots having to be used instead (see below). In Virginia, a line of electors had to wait longer than usual because the head of a branch library - doubling up as a polling station - had overslept.

Democrats will be highly favored in exit polling. Kerry won exit polling by a sizable margin in all the swing states. And in the primaries Obama often won exit polling in states he lost like NH, Mass., Texas, Ohio....etc
