CNN-Three Hour Lines At The University Of Central Florida

[DemocratSinceBirth]

UCF and FSU were my alma matas....

Wow...

I'll bet it's going 6, 7, 8-1 for Obama...

1. Is Central Florida

considered the red or blue area of the state?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Central Florida Is Purple

But I am sure most UCF students are voting for Obama...

8. I Live Across The State In Sarasota County & Just Came Back From

being a POLL Watcher! The greeter outside just told me he's getting LOTS of "thumbs up" for Obama! My precinct has many older people, but good turn out even here!

I voted early and there were long lines even in this VERY RED Katherine "Cruella" Harris County!! Obama's Rally here had 12,000 in attendance! John McCain's here at "almost" 4,000!! Living in this county for many years we've NEVER had a National candidate visit us!! I'm almost SURE he's going to win this COUNTY and that's phenomenal.... SUPER BIG!!

If he doesn't win here, it will be VERY close from what I'm seeing!!

9. Sarasota Is Republican

If he's doing well there that's a good sign...

13. Sarasota Is Number Two In The State As A Ruby Red County!!!

Things are tight, but he may take it!!!

4. UCF is located in Orange County (Orlando, FL)

The county is definitely Democratic now with 230,000 D's to 170,000 R's and a total registration of around 600,000.

The school is supposedly fairly conservative but it is hard to say with this election, I think they will break 60 to 40 for Obama at UCF from my impression of it. (I used to work just off UCF's campus for about 4 years in the research park).

2. While the local stations has been talking all day about the short lines

all around Orange County - why aren't they moving more booths to them?!?

5. Where In Orlando Are You

I'm in Lake Mary...

6. It's not a trivial task to do that.

The machines would have to be reprogrammed for a different precinct etc. The risk of a screw up is non-trivial.

11. I only had to wait 1 hour

and I am right down the road from UCF.

7. And 20 minutes away in Maitland, Florida also in Central Florida

I breezed in and I breezed out like Christopher Walken dancing in that Fatboy Slim video.
I was SO happy and everyone was SO friendly and they laughed at my jokes and I'm in freaking Florida.

Black woman, about 70 years old manning the official roll book.

Her: "Name please?"
Me: "Hi! how are you!"
Her: "Well hello Mr. Hi Howareyou!"

It was all downhill from there.
I VOTED!

And I walked out into the parking lot singing this:
Obama, yo mama, Obama, new pajamas, Obama...
I'm so stupid.
But, I'm happy too!

10. Maitland

12. What up DSB?

I just moved here back in April, and I'm telling you that you got an interesting part of the world here!

14. I Love Central Florida

Maybe we can have a celebratory beer ...
