Took my kid to school, went to vote, drove right on by...way too crowded
Before you flip out, I have the whole day off, so I'm going to go between 10:00 - 11:00 (before lunch rush). I figure the people in line right now need to get to work. I don't want to get in their way. I've been voting here for 10 years and I've never seen a line stretch around the building. I'd say 60% are for McSaggyBalls though.

1. Them was almost fightin words.Your tag line was certainly eye catching.
I'm going in a minute, once my wife gets home. She's baby and house sitting for a soldier friend who is in the field this week.
(She got back from Iraq less than three months ago, and she has to go play in the field already) Anyway, we are going to vote, then I have to get to class, and she will be still working on getting out the vote and driving people to the polls.

2. I should write headlines for a living. :)
Actually my wife just called. She said it was starting to thin out just a little bit. She said the people behind her in line were talking about how their son still wasn't sure how to vote so the dad told him to look up the term Socialism. The son said "Obama isn't a socialist." The dad said, "if you believe that, then you shouldn't vote."

I hate assholes!

3. I haven't gone yet either, but I live in a small town, so I doubt I'll have a problem.
Although where I live, it's probably 80% McStupid...:-(

4. Came to the same conclusion
Drove my wife to the train at 7 am, saw the lot was packed, kept going since I have the day off. Going to shower now and go to vote at 11 am. I also have the day off and did not want to make people who had to get to work wait or leave while I voted and took their place in line.

5. Between 10 and noon is the optimum time.
That's when I'm going (almost out the door).

Good luck. :thumbsup:

6. UPDATE - I went about 10 minutes ago...walked in, voted, walked out
I went from car to voting booth and back to car in like 5 minutes. LOL. Looks like I made the right choice. :D
