I observed three polling places. I went into the one closest to my home and they said I was not registered to vote at that location, luckily the GOP poll watchers asked me if I want them to double check, I said no. I went to county office building and cast my vote, no line, at 4:30; however, everyone coming in was carrying the red ballot not the blue one (yes, anecdotal evidence). Same with springwoods elementary and westridge elementary, no shenanigans in PWC today. Good news. Lastly, a retired Marine Sgt Major who is black went to the polls today to vote and the Democrat handing out the blue sheets completely assumed he was voting for the "D" that occured in Fredericksburg. He said, "she looked at him, smiled and gave out the sheets to the rest". Classy democrat assumptions. only red sheets walking into the polling places today! I observed three polling places.

No idea whether McAuliffe would be a formidable opponent to McDonnell now, but this race seems to be working out well for conservatives. In my American flag draped neighborhood, there are only a few brave souls with Deeds signs on their lawns. We'll try not to let the champagne corks land on them tonight.

Can't remember the last time I voted for all Republicans and didn't have to write in somebody. It was nice to be able to vote for four solid pro-lifers and three of them (McDonnell, Bolling, Cuccinelli) have an excellent chance to win. My HOD candidate is a good conservative but I live in a communist district represented by Ken Plum (who was also at my polling place today).

For an off year election, the turn out has been quite steady. The atmosphere between the parties' workers is friendly and the majority of people are asking or taking the Republican ballot. A beautiful day and it always thrills me to see people exercise the privilege of the vote. (It just tickles me stupid when they vote Republican. :) ) Back out in a few minutes.

Not that McDonnell and Bolling aren't doing well, but, Cuccinelli is polling with wider margins than McDonnell or Bolling. I've been very excited about Ken from the beginning. Seeing him speak at a rally yesterday was very exciting, and, shaking his hand sent a thrill down my leg LOL. I'm not willing to share him with any other states yet, but, in time he has the charisma, the authenticness, the unappologetic conservative positions, and the enthusiasm to become someone to watch for much higher office in years to come. Just watch what he does for Virginia! carrying this ticket. Not that McDonnell and Bolling aren’t doing well, but, Cuccinelli is polling with wider margins than McDonnell or Bolling.

Reports on the lack of enthusiasm of the Dems for Deeds's victory are actually creepy. I really think that Obama’s dissing of Deeds was falsely read by the Dems as “total surrender”.

Turnout at 9:30 was good -- had to wait for parking space. Heavier turnout was seen this morning and will be seen after 5:00 today. I just voted here in central Fairfax County, NoVa.

Asked the poll workers how the turnout has been and she said steady. I asked if that meant a lower turnout, and she said no, for our precinct a large turnout. That assessment fits with the experience I have voting there. I am curious to see how these elections will affect the House of Delegates. Perhaps the conservatives are turning out and the dem areas are not? We shall see. I loved voting for Cuccinelli! I am in a very conservative area on the west end of Henrico County.
