The long lines are good for Democrats, IMO.
It's because of what I saw on a rainy, cold day waiting to vote in Georgia. It was a 3 hour wait in a line that started and ended outside.

All of the Obama supporters around me were determined to vote.

Not one person complained.
Not one person considered getting out of line.

The McCain supporters looked miserable.
The Obama supporters looked happy.

I saw one Obama supporter leave; but not before telling us she was definitely going to vote by Nov. 4th.
I saw many McCain supporters leave.

Did I mention that it was freezing cold and wet?

1. Of course.
If 75% of the voting public votes, it'll be a landslide.

5. I voted over a week ago.
Which means that all of those people could have left and voted another day.

7. Lines are short in Dekalb Co., GA5, today
I just voted and waited all of 2 minutes in line. Last week early voting lines were from Hell. I hope nobody is staying away from the polls today because they think the lines will be longer than before.
