I've been getting mail from both parties. Interesting to read them, but why am I being asked to contribute money two days before election?

Am I reading this wrong or did someone vote two (or more?) times? It's just weird because the article doesn't bring attention to the fact that 21 votes were cast in a town with 20 voters.

[link=http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D947TRM00&show_article=1]Breitbart[/link] - DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch, N.H., where the nation's first Election Day votes were cast and counted early Tuesday.

Obama defeated John McCain 15-6. Independent Ralph Nader was also on the ballot, but received no votes.

The first voter, following tradition established in 1948, was picked ahead of the midnight voting and the rest of the town's 19 registered voters followed suit in Tuesday's first minutes.

Town Clerk Rick Erwin says the northern New Hampshire town is proud of its tradition, but says the most important thing is that the turnout represents 100 percent vote.

President Bush won the vote in Dixville Notch in 2004 on the way to his re-election.

i just asked my boss-he said he thinks they combined towns--must be where they got the extra vote lol?

It's hard for us Floridians to seem less important this year, but we are.  Obama does not need Florida or Ohio to win as long as Virginia and PA stay blue.  I do think that Obama will win here very narrowly.

[Penny Lane]

i was thinking that McCain would take FL (old people and Cubans--don't like communism) and BO would take OH/PA/VA----NC i'm not sure of....

[bowl of soup]

Obama and Biden have campaigned very hard here (as have McCain and Palin), but the fact that the Dems were willing to expend a ton of resources and campaign in areas around Tampa that they haven't even thought of recently suggests that their polling indicates they have a chance to win areas around here untouchable for the last ten years.  Lock-step Cuban support for Republicans has been slipping recently and we're not as old as we used to be.  I'll take Obama with 48% and a slim vistory here ending McCain's chances.

[Angry Ewok]

I'm glad we're mostly past talking about the candidates - hearing about the demographics of everyone's area and the actual voting is always much more interesting to me.

P.S. I got my free coffee for voting, today. Mmm.

unless palm beach gets fucked up yet again, where they still don't know how to hold an election. Fill in the arrow? Gimme a fucking break.

We're doing the best we can down here.  I've now used 3 different voting systems in 8 years.  Took me about 5 minutes to vote today and the poll worker said that it had not been busy.  That being said, early voting down here was insane and 4 hour lines were routine.

Did anyone run into any Black Panthers at their polling place?

I saw that. A bit much...

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Not at my polling place, I should say. I am an hour or so away from Philly however.

[Angry Ewok]

What's so scary to me is the indifference of the police... they just half-heartedly "escort" the two "gentlemen" away from the door. [link=http://www.breitbart.tv/html/213313.html]Take a look at this[/link]... They don't disarm the thugs, they don't arrest them, and worse - they turn their backs on the guys as they're walking back to the cruiser. I can't even tell if they've got a hand on their holster?

This video makes the Pennsylvania police department look very, very bad.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

If that is in North Philly, I wouldn't fuck with them either.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Seriously though, as an Obama supporter, that shit bothers me. I'm sure they have no idea why they are for Obama, other than that he is (Half) black. That said, there are probably just as many people that are not voting for him for the same reason. Racism sucks, no matter which way you slice it.  :-/
