Biggest turnout I have ever seen!
I live in a very small town in predominantly republican Oakland County Michigan. Typically voting at my precinct is like getting a cup of coffee at 7-11, in and out.
Today my wife and I accompanied by our two young children waited in a line of over 100 people for about 45 minutes!
As I left the polling location, I drove through the historic section of town, not one McPalin sign, MANY Obama signs!

3. Good to hear!! We can use your help at either the Romeo or Sterling Heights Obama offices!
We will be working to get out the vote up until the polls close and will be handing out water and food to those in line at the polls after that. HELP US!!!!!

Romeo office: On Main Street, two doors down from the Clark station.

Sterling Heights: on Van Dyke just south of 15 mile Road in the strip mall that also contains the Secretary of State

2. Encouraging news all the way around
I doubt people stand in line to vote for more of the same.

Unless they are rich and don't like to pay taxes, or unless they are just totally delusional.
