At early voting I assisted a lot of voters and a lot of Republicans voted for Bill White.
They wanted to voted straight Republican and then go back and vote for Bill White.

So many people who had no business voting for Republicans voted for people who will take away their benefits.

One guy in a wheel chair with a health care worker voted straight republican, it was hard not to say anything.

The old rich republicans were out, along with business type republicans.

I also helped a lot of Democrats vote, bless them.

The worse part was the tea party assholes, I had to tell them to back off a legal distance when I was helping a voter.

On the first Monday the tea party assholes thougt they could stand behind the computers, we made them leave the area.

This was a rough early voting period.

I really hate tea party people now, worse then ever.

I saw them for two weeks up close and personal.

They are just as nasty as you thought they were.

3. Yes you can vote straight party and then go back and vote for someone of the other party.
This was the reason why we helped so many voters.

A lot poeple mixed and matched on this election.

Our eslates have a summary page so you can go back, and highlite what you want to change.

5. I do not like them either.

We have new laptops and wi-fi, no more wires.

I work at a very busy location, the one they show on tv all the time.

We had long lines on Friday.

The printers and scanners are better.

The tea party people were told after Monday to behave by their keepers.

I over heard the tea party people complaining that they were tried of all the political correctness, they didn't want to be nice.

I think it has something to do with the lawsuit.

9. Thank you.
I am a really tired hero.

I am a night person and getting up at 4 and 5 am is not fun.

It was worth it.

We kicked tea baggers ass.

14. I think a lot of repubs are just tired of Gov. Goodhair.
Bill White is well thought of here.

He did a good job as mayor of Houston.

I don't think Bill White is seen as a liberal either.

Chris Bell almost won 4 years ago, Bill White has a good chance.
