The vote totals so far look good for Republicans and even better for Democrats.

Traditionally Republican polling locations are pulling many more voters than in 2000.

Through six days: St. George's Episcopal Church is up 8 percent, from 4,250 in 2000 to 4,594 this year; Agricenter International is up 23 percent, from 4,706 to 5,777; and Collierville is up 77 percent, from 2,937 in 2000 at a community center to 5,224 this year at Collierville Church of Christ.

Traditionally Democratic stations are experiencing even higher increases.

Bishop Byrne is up 139 percent, from 1,838 the first six days in 2000 to 4,393 so far this year. Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church in Midtown is up 113 percent, from 1,833 to 3,912. And Ed Rice Community Center in Frayser is up 150 percent, from 1,018 to 2,550.

"Fantastic!" David Cocke said.

"I'm really not sure how it's happening," the local Kerry-Edwards campaign chairman said. "All I know is people are motivated to vote this year."

People are FED UP with the chimp-in-charge.

That's all the motivation they need.

3. Rats, you have to register to read the Commercial Appeal now.

Those increases at the usually Dem-leaning polls are inspiring: 139%, 113% and 150%,

The 'pubs have got 8%, 23% and 77% increases.
