I just got back from voting today. I voted straight Republican. There w larger line than usual, and I hope this will be good news for Republicans. I used the optical scanner method in this precinct. After I fed it through the scanner the total of votes successfully cast went from 429 to 430.

"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"

_In a world full of twists and turns, the ultimate twist...is a straight line._

Didn't we have a rather lengthy predictions post a few weeks back? Could we see this again at the end of the day?

I voted in West chester, Ohio and this morning was the heaviest turnout I've ever seen for a mid-term election. West Chester is a heavily Republican part of Southern Ohio.

I think there are millions of Republicans who can't wait to put it in nancy pelosi's and the liberal media's face.

Keep the faith. The base is going to bail out the wayward Republicans one more time.

I voted this morning here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. George Allen's daughter gave me my sample ballot (she attends the same college I do). She looked and sounded pretty nervous. I imagine these campaigns are tougher on the families than they are on the candidates themselves.

The tradesport.com basically comes down to this:

In the House the Dems are holding pocket kings and you kids are holding deuces. So you guys need a miracle deuce to come (which is about a four to one dog).

In the Senate the Dems went all in with A-K and you kids are holding a pair of kings. Dems are about a 2 to 1 dog rto catch an ace.

I like these odds.

Go Pelosi!!!

DeVos, Bouchard, and Rogers got my votes. I went absentee.

High turnout in Livingston County despite rain (good for us).

Steady rain in SE Michigan - including Ann Arbor and Detroit. Good for us.

I cannot express how great I feel today I have not been nervous about this election, there is a sense of calm in knowing the American Public will not bite off their noses to spite their faces. I remember being over the top with worry in 2004 however none of that doubt has crept in this time at all. I want to congratulate the American public for getting out to vote that is what this country is all about. VOTE VOTE VOTE:)

Peace through superior fire power:)

In Blair County, PA. Here's hoping...
