Voted early today in now red, soon to be blue GA.
Saw many *o4 stickers on the back of cars in my heavily repug county. However, I was energized because of the long line and the number of African-Americans, myself included, who were early voting. We can do this if we just keep our eyes on the prize and get out the vote.

1. Yes!
I love reading voter's stories. This is encouraging. I can't wait until I cast my ballot.

3. may not happen in 04, but I think that the state, minus Zell,
is becoming more progressive.

6. henry county, just south of Atlanta.
lots of BC signs on the main road leading into the town square as well. I'm sure this was well crafted by repugs. But the turnout already is definitely encouraging.

5. Drove through northwest Georgia into Tennessee yesterday,

didn't see many Bush* stickers or signs in GA, more in TN. Drove through a neighborhood here today -- one that I'd expect to see Bush* signs in. Saw one small Bush* sign, one huge Kerry sign.

People in GA are not advertising that they'll vote Bush* so if they're going to, many of them must be ashamed. I'd love it if GA went blue this year!

In the parking lot of my doctor's office last week, lots of cars, one Bush* sticker -- on a car with Alabama plates!

7. went to the mountains this weekend and didn't see nearly the number
of BC signs that I thought, but saw many more KE signs than would ever imagine in that part of the state. I think they many are embarrased by their support of *. Hopefully, their shame will lead to an awakening in the voting booth.
