      I waited 45 minutes for early voting last weekend. Today, I drove by my voting location, and there was no one waiting. Oh well.

        great pictures. This was my first time voting in a Presidential election (I was in London in 2004) and I voted for Obama. I'm glad to see so many people come out this year. Whether they vote for Obama or McCain, it's going to make history.

          I voted for Obama early this morning.
          It felt great!
          I just heard from a republican strategist in North Carolina.
          It seems they are confident that Dole is gone, and there is an Obama Tsunami!

            Drove past my polling station at 7:30....... too crowded. Went back at 9A, walked in, voted and left hassle free. AND no, I didn't vote strait Republican (I tend to vote for the best person instead of by party) but I did cast my Presidential vote for McCain here in Kentucky. Good luck!

                            They're ignoring CA & WA. They will give Obama 66 electtorals. Then all he needs is HI. But rather than even talk about the obvious, they're going to drone on & say some other states gave it to him. Nope. CA, WA, & HI are giving him the Presidency. But they'd have to put their crayons away and go home if the obvious was looked at.
