Today is the day!! Vote everyone

So who is it? Obama or McCain?

I think its gonna be Obama, but it is really tight in some states.

Your thoughts?

If one believes the polls, it should be Obama. Based on the past two elections, I cannot say for certain. Because of so many possibilities of fraud and so many lawyers, we may not know for weeks if the voting is close in any of the key "battleground" states.

We reside in a county where one sees overwhelmingly McCain/Palin signs and which generally votes Republican.

At the local community college, I saw students with McCain/Palin T-shirts, and handouts that read: Annoy Your Professor. Vote McCain/Palin.

It was the opposite when we lived in Hollywood in the Fairfax neighborhood, Henry Waxman's district.

It will be a long night, and a longer week or more if it is as close as the past two.

As mentioned on another thread, some of the Propositions will be of more immediate importance to many than the overall election.

Well, I'm hoping that the polls of Dixville Notch, NH (15 of 21 for Obama) are indicative. Dixville Notch went Democratic for the first time since 1968.

I'm concerned with two things right now...

1. Being more afraid of the average citizen than I am of anything else.
2. The outcome of a local vote for a senate seat.

I hope Obama, but I don't know if history is on our side.

There is a poll on the newspaper site here and 80 % of the people that put a vote in have voted for Obama ! I really think most of us hope for Obama to win and I'm one of them.

Obama by a landslide! We Dems are so paranoid and used to losing elections that we're too afraid to acknowledge the obvious. And of course, Obama has to win by a landslide to make up for all the votes that are stolen as have been in the past!!

Please, Donroc, don't blame the lawyers for any upcoming mess! Blame it on the electoral college system.

I think that if McCain wins then people will be screaming there was voter fraud.

if Obama wins we won't hear the end of it for the next eh...10 years.
