It's nice that early voting seems to be doing well, but it'd be a shame if that didn't affect anything other than the Senate.

About the most negative anyone can say about him is that he is inexperienced, but his credentials are good. I like him myself, and we both voted for him. My daughter and her boyfriend will, too.

(34,648 posts)Could probably get a moose to vote in a reasonably representative fashion. I will be there on Tuesday at the Rec center as soon as I put my daughter on the bus.
I believe Don has gone around the bend of reality and we won't be getting any postcards from him. And he seems quite florid and possibly imbibing spirits on a regular basis. I would like for him to get help, outside of the spotlight, away from our children.

(46,436 posts)That's where I'll be poll watching. We can't talk politics there, of course, but you'll see me there with my blue poll watcher badge on.
I'll try to see if i can recognize you. Could be fun.

(46,436 posts)or I'll have to throttle you. Also, if you've got bumper stickers that support any of the candidates, be sure to park more than 200 feet away. Bring your measuring tape. LOL.
Seriously, I'm not anticipating any problems, but I think the Party wanted to put the poll watchers into Democratically-leaning precincts just to make sure that everyone is allowed to cast a ballot. The rule is that even if you don't have ID or they can't find your name on the rolls, you're still allowed to vote provisionally and the election officials will sort it out later. I hope to see huge turnout over there.

(14,177 posts)Realistically though breaking even is a win, considering most seats up are in Red areas. We are virtually in a win-win situation. If Reps get a majority they are going to disapoint and anger a lot of people in the next two years. If Reps don't get a majority they have zero chance at the WH in 2016.

(28,394 posts)There could be a possibility of Keith Rothfus (PA-12) losing his seat. At least a lot of us are hoping!
