My ex-wife called yesterday.

[nevergiveup]

She has never been very political nor a big Hillary fan and she doesn't always vote but she was so upset yesterday with the new "witch hunt" email news she got in her car and drove 30 miles down the mountain to early vote for Hillary. She is in her 70's and has two bad knees but nothing was going to stop her. She was really pissed. I am not sure what this means but maybe, just maybe, James Comey has awakened a sleeping giant.

[Skittles]

3. she sounds like an OK gal, nevergiveup

[lucca18]

4. Great to hear! Go Hillary!

[Historic NY]

5. Wonderful....

I'm so damn mad I can't wait to vote....we don't have early voting.

[liberalnarb]

29. We don't have it here in PA either

but the area is definitely ready for Hillary.

37. Yeah...I wish we did!!! My fingers are itching!

Thankfully we've got paper ballots where I am. They're scanned electronically, I hope no one can interfere with that.

6. As I posted in another thread, my neighbor described this as 'picking on Hillary now', and came

and knocked on my door, and asked if I had room in my car to take her to polling station..

She can't stand that 'madman' who she refuses to call by name..

Despite all the hand-wringing dems are doing, this may totally backfire on the rethugs..

[StevieM]

7. I pray that you are right. I fear that you are wrong. (eom)

[HipChick]

8. Non-trumpsters are not dumb...it's a nothing-burger smear campaign

that's back firing big time..

[riversedge]

9. Thank the Hillary camp-and others for fighting back quickly. Great story. Thanks for post.

[Ligyron]

33. They need to turn up the volume.

[riversedge]

34. I missed the Sun talk shows. Hopefully they did.

12. Your ex-wife is a sleeping giant?

Now, there's no need of name calling.

[lillypaddle]

14. Yessss! nt

[stonecutter357]

15. K&R!

16. My wife is severely apolitical

and has never voted. Too late, she asked me what she had to do to vote. Oh well, hopefully she stays interested, and I can get her spun up next time.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

17. We have 2 mail in ballots on the table.

But in CA the ballot measures are innumerable. And indecipherable. We are still researching.

2 votes for HILLARY coming soon.

[Fla Dem]

22. Go to your local or county Democratic Party web site.

At least in my area they summarize the ballot initiatives and suggest how to vote.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

26. Nada.

I have been working on it for over an hour and a half. Down to one remaining question - OC Municipal Water District division 4?

[calimary]

35. Three votes for Hillary went out to the post office from our house a couple of weeks ago.

My husband's, mine, and our son's. He wanted to vote absentee before he and the band left for tour.

[boston bean]

18. Good Story! Made my day!

[3catwoman3]

19. Interesting that she would let you know.

You must have a cordial relationship.

[DemonGoddess]

20. K&R!

Every woman I know is positively LIVID at what Comey did. Just like in the primaries, we're not screaming, we're VOTING. So you know, I think you have it right about the sleeping giant.

[Hulk]

21. A public statement from Comey is in order.

Since he has chosen to take the unprecedented move to cast doubt on a presidential candidate 11 days from the election, it would be most fitting if he or his office released a statement clarifying just what exactly is occurring. This is real trash behavior, simply to cover his OWN ASS because he fears the wrath of chaffetz, and the rest of the teabagger political hacks in Washington.

The coward OWES an explanation to the American public he SERVES.

He needs to be replaced in the first 100 days, regardless of the reich wing brown shirt party's screams and howlings.

[niyad]

24. actual, public seppuku is in order, but that would require a sense of honour and decency

he does not possess.

[world wide wally]

27. He'd probably make it at a Trump rally

[niyad]

23. k and r. and kudos to your ex for not swallowing the kool-ade.

[TrekLuver]

25. I like your assessment, that would be great. I can understand because I felt the same thing.

Maybe it will spur complacent Dems to get out there, enough of this Bullshit...we ain't havin it.

[Ardoewaan]

28. That's also the vibe I've been getting

This is all anecdotal off course but I really think the independent voters are fed up with this. So close to an election it just doesn't pass the smell test for a lot of people and there might indeed be a reverse psychological reaction.

[Madam45for2923]

30. Unintended consequences!!!

[calimary]

36. Welcome to DU, Ardoewaan!

I remember hearing similar anecdotal evidence when the dubya drunk driving revelations came out, just days before the election. People were really pissed about the timing. And I heard numerous instances in the news about voters who were angry and vowed that this wouldn't change their minds about him, and it was just an eleventh-hour trick that they didn't appreciate - and that they saw through.

Perhaps that mentality will be in play here?

[Madam45for2923]

31. Really enjoyed your story!

Thanks for sharing!

32. Bless your ex-wife's heart! She has every right to be pissed...

...WE ALL DO!
