My friend got "glared" into silence at the poles.
Voting in Marlton, NJ this morning, he was standing in a long line chatting with the woman next to him. She was worried about her name change going through in registration, and he joked, I wouldn't worry about it, it's not like we're in Florida. Two guys ahead of him turned around and gave him evil glares and he felt intimidated enough not to say another word. Afterwards, he noticed a gazillion McCain stickers on all the cars in the lot. His feeling was McCain is going to win Marlton. :(

1. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent...too bad he felt intimidated by a glare.

2. Everyone I know in Marlton is voting Obama
I grew up 2 towns over, and everyone I know there is voting Obama. But they are all Jewish so I guess you'd expect that. That area was heavily Republican but has trended blue as it's become more developed.

My best friend's mom lives in Marlton and she's often a swing voter, but she's voting for Obama this year because she can't stand Sarah Palin.
