If Texas votes the way my little precinct in Waco is voting today....
Obama will definitely win! Been there since 7am - just taking a quick lunch
break. No visibility by Clinton supporters.

Our precinct is predominately Republican, but at noon they had issued 104 dem ballots
to 75 rep ballots.

We talked to most every voter who came out. All were for Obama except two!

Virtually none of the voters knew to come back at 7pm until we told them.

1. Wow, I hope you're right
I am starting to feel pretty anxious...how was Waco expected to vote? What are the demographics?

3. I've never been to Waco.
But I'm guessing that over the last several years they're pretty eager for change.

4. Let's hope the rest of East Texas swings the same way as this Waco precinct is.

6. were there high numbers of republicans at the polls voting in our primary?
If so, then that bodes well for Obama.

12. No Rush said they should vote for Hillary...but they won't have buttons
Around here, what Rush says is gospel if it hints that Obama is getting votes from republicans. If it is Hillary he supports, everyone shuts up about Rush's "advice."

18. Welcome to DU
I hope you're not being sarcastic. Moderate republicans are DONE with the insanity that is the last eight years under *.

I'm betting many of them vote for the Democrat in November as well.

7. I was only in my polling place for 30 minutes or so, but saw a LOT of Obama buttons
No Hillary ones. Realize that's not very scientific, but I got the impression most there when I was were Obama folks.

16. You do know it is illegal for them to wear them in the polling places
but since it is obama..I guess exceptions will just have to be made.

19. What precinct are you in?
Mine always votes late. In 2006, the line from 5-7 was very long.
