Steady she goes
Voting was pretty good at my polling place today. Nothing too crowded, but definitely a steady stream of folks coming in. And, if the street and the Oglethorpe Fire House are any indication, than Barack Obama should roll to a victory in Georgia. Seriously, I think everyone on my street cast a ballot for him today.

There was no 150 foot marker at HTEdwards, I called the BOE and told them, and they were very helpful and said they'd fix it immediately.
I took my regular riders to the polls today, all except one who's lung cancer has her really down. I'm feeling awful that I've not gotten out the absentee ballot blanks I usually do, but have been too ill to do it for the primary.
But the good news is that even though neither the local party or Write to Vote were doing GOTV this time, every poll I cruised, even at odd hours of the day, seemed to have had a steady stream.
I'm feeling very hopeful, it looks to be a long night, and I just hope that it's all going to work out. I've been having a great time watching the coverage of Romney's potential meltdown, he just went off on his conspiracy theories about McCain and Huckabee AGAIN, after hearing that "they'd" colluded in West Virginia, where MSNBC is calling the caucus for Huckabee.
The New York Times already has reports of irregularities in GA. due not only to inadequate provisional ballots being provided, voters not being sent to new locations, or being misinformed about their locations (told the wrong place to vote) and our paperless, unverifiable machines.
I've been loving the characterizations of Obama supporters as more highly educated, affluent, and younger than the blue collar, and big money , establishment "I know she'll hire me if she wins" Dems who are sticking w/Hillary.
I watched Zogby all morning off and on on C-Span, and he's just amazing, finding exactly the way to explain that no matter how many of us vote for Obama today, the old school super delegates could decide to completely disrespect and dishonor our wishes.
Here's hoping, the big rush is about to get under way as folks get off work, and many of the networks are saying that w/our polls closing at 7, what happens in GA., could be a real indicator of what happens in the rest of the country.
I'm disturbed that so many of them have been predicting Obama as the winner, I'm afraid it will make his supporters out west think they don't have to get out and vote.
Same old, same old. I'll be watching and listening with some old friends tonight, ordering pizza, and reading the blogs, and updates from the Sec. of States office.
See y'all here later!
