If You Can Still Vote Early, DO IT!

We went and early-voted tonight. It only took an hour and a half. I heard one person say it took a half-hour on Monday. Tomorrow will be worse, and Tuesday the lines will be down the street.

This is a good thing, as long as everyone is voting intelligently. When the Breck Girl John Edwards was a candidate, some people thought he stood a good chance because his hair is pretty. Now BO stands a chance because his skin is the "correc" color, nevermind the Marksism [sic].

Last congressional and local elections around here, it was walk in, vote, walk out, with 3 of 6 machines occupied. Tonight there were 10 machines and lines around the block still at 7:20.

I wonder what the turnout rates will be. Surely higher than the 15% we've been running on local elections around here.
