Waited in line 3 hrs to vote today,
think I have sunstroke along with everyone else. Observation from a red county, it was very very blue. If you were a bush supporter, no one was speaking up. Go Kerry!

1. I agree
Dems in Miami are incredibly organized - lots of excitement here. For the first time in 30 years I know lots of Cubans who will vote Democratic.

7. Oh, yes!
I am hoping that is a good indicator for Dems. We do have a lot of right-wing nuts here, but I am in Pulaski County (Little Rock) and we generally go Democratic.

Don't know what the situation is in NW Ark. (Repuke stonghold)

6. If you find yourself waiting in a long line-up to vote -- rejoice !!!
Just remember ... the 92 year old woman in South Africa (April 27, 1994) who stood in line for 6 hours waiting to vote with her daughters and grandsons and when queried by a foreign reporter about the long line-ups she said "I waited all my life, I believe I can wait a few more hours."
