I'm from Cali, where it will still go to Obama if he dropped dead tomorrow lol, but for some reason I just HAVE to vote. I guess I want to make sure it goes Obama's way for sure and stop you from saying you told me so ;D.

I live in New Jersey, and there is early voting, but I like going to the booth, so I'll be in line early before work tomorrow morning.

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I think I'll have a pretty easy time, we live in a town of about 5000 people with most everyone being older folks (old farm town) so I'm hoping they'll all go in the morning, so by the time DH gets home around 3 or so, they'll all have already voted. I'm actually really excited, this will be the first time I've voted in a major election! The only other time was when I was in high school, I got extra credit in my government class for going and voting for a school bond election or something local like that.
Originally Posted By beamerdog Way to go, Klucky! I'll be voting early. I'm in DE, so I'm pretty sure how our state will go. Then I'm doing a shift on phoning people to get them out to vote. I've done that for a few elections. Biden is running for both vp and the senate. If he wins both, his son is someone being talked about to fill his seat. Interesting. Then we'll have Joe and Beau - that has to get on late night tv, lol.

Some time yesterday I started to get nervous again. Like it couldn't REALLY be happening, could it? I'll probably be nervous right up to the moment that (God willing) they announce Virginia for Obama at about 8:30 EST.

When I hear Virginia and Pennsylvania for Obama, then I'll breathe. Actually, I probably won't breathe until McCain and the GOP concede and their lawyers go home.
Originally Posted By mawnck >>Actually, I probably won't breathe until McCain and the GOP concede and their lawyers go home.<< I'll call 911.

Originally Posted By mele Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen, Elderp. I mean, people don't really listen to them that much now and I don't think that will change.
