I think my Texas County May just go BLUE!!!!

I early voted two weeks ago, and sorta snuck a look at a few other ballots around me that were being put into the ballot box. Three were ahead of me. Two of those were Straight Dem. Plus mine made three. FIVE Obama stickered vehicles in the lot, out of about 30-40 cars.

Fast forward to this morning. I had to show my husband where to vote today, since the early voting place wasn't available today. I counted four vehicles with Obama stickers. One was chock FULL of pro Dem stuff on the back of the car!

Finally this afternoon, I had to also show my daughter where to go to vote. As we drove up, we were greeted by a lady with a guitar a good ways from the polling area, but not to be missed as you had to turn into the parking lot and pass her. Obama and local Dem candidate stickers on her truck, a cool Red White and Blue hat on, singing her heart out. We came into the polling area, and ahead of my daughter was an elderly man that had checked his ballot instead of marking the circles in all the way. The poll guy was awesome and helped the man out. All Dem....:D Yeah you bet I looked! On the way out, we rolled down the window to listen for a minute or two to the singing lady before we had to keep going, with a car behind us...

Also, two more cars (out of probably ten or so) had Obama or Texas Dem stickers on them in the parking lot. My daughter was plain giddy, as this was her first GE to vote in. She is still stoked!

It was a really beautiful day for voting, and even more beautiful now!!! Whodathunk there'd be so many supporters in this red state and not be Austin!

2. Bell County

Belton is red, but Temple and Killeen and Ft Hood tend more Dem Im thinking.

5. That'd be amazing if your county went Blue! I'm in Hays, and I think we have a chance too. n/t

3. My Texas county teeters back and forth......

...from blood red to deep blood red! And it totally sucks!

4. Well it's nothing like the last go around

in '04 people were even shoe polishing their windows with Bush crap all over them. I have seen VERY few McCain stickers, but a lot of yard signs in Belton.

6. Yep, mine too. It went like 73% for Bush in 2004

There's been a lot of building going on though. I'm interested to see how the vote goes this time around.

This is Collin county fyi.

7. I know we will definitely have pockets of blue

but I'd bet there are going to be a lot more of them this time!

8. Collin County here, also!

I think we will see some really good results here...huge voter registration and GOTV...and local Dems who have been discouraged to turn out in previous elections seem to be coming out of the woodworks....70,000 voted in our primaries (2004 was around 6,000, I believe).

9. I'm in Cooke

Same area

10. This makes me so happy!

It's a shame I had to leave and miss all the fun! I've lived all over Texas my whole life, and never thought I'd see it turning purple again.

We just sold our house in Rowlett (Rockwall/Dallas county-- we were right on the line) back in January.

Thanks for the great report! :-)
