and it's really busy today. Will be interesting to see if these people who have become first time voters this year go on and continue to vote. The cynic in me says no.

no, i hear you.

my area's probably moderate democrat, but the northern virginia polls have had kerry up by 12% (still means the state's going red). but that's much better than gore did in northern virginia.

so i go to vote this morning and damn near every ethnic minority in line's holding a republician sample ballot.

now, we're pretty diverse here, so i in no way expect all of the minorities to vote democratic. but the overwhelming amount of republican sample ballots was definititly a bit unexpected.

Bush has got the Vietnamese and (some of the) Korean vote around here, from what I can gather. Kerry, on the other hand, has the votes of other ethnic groups like Salvadoreans, Indians, Pakistanis, Iranians, Africans, etc.

My boss said he's going to vote Democratic for the first time in his life; and he's a white male business owner.

Folks haven't spoken much about VA being a swing state, but all the polls have showed the race at a solid 3%. Obviously, history is VERY MUCH against Kerry here - but NO ONE I know that is a Kerry supporter is using the "my vote won't matter" logic. A lot of folks used that last election here.

The liberal media will declare the real winner, George W. Bush !!!!

Elvis, I know you hate me more than death but there is one thing we agree on and it's BUSH! (and I aint talking pussy!) FOUR MORE YEARS! I'm working the polls today and I have seen alot of people sporting BUSH garb!

[knuckleboner]

it's funny, the korean groups are usually democratic in the local elections here.


and, now that you're in arlington, steve, i suspect you're around a few more democratic voters...

but, i hear tell that unlike 2000, fairfax might just go democrat this election. my guess is that virginia still goes red, but it will be closer than anticipated.

I think that's going to be true in a lot of places.

Something tells me that this won't be over tonight.

[John Ashcroft]

That something is that you live in New York Darling. You're innundated with predictions of a close race. Have faith in the voters throughout the country. Bush will lose New York and California for sure. But He's going to sweep the midwest and alot of the coastal states.

Have faith.

What "coastal states" do you think Chimpmeister could win?

Aside from a couple on the Gulf Coast maybe?

[John Ashcroft]

The Carolinas, Florida, New Hampshire, and Virginia

Not to mention Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas (for Gulf coast states), and close states like West Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, etc.

Alaska will go for Bush as well.

Well, probably the Carolinas

Not to mention Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas (for Gulf coast states), and close states like West Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of those flipped over to Kerry.

Alaska will go for Bush as well.

Can you count it as a "coastal" state if the water's frozen

[John Ashcroft]

Heh heh heh, I know. I threw Alaska in there on a technicality.

However, it appears much of my prediction is in the process of coming true.

I'm still being cynical. Lately the worse case scenerios are the only ones coming true for me

[John Ashcroft]

Well, give old JA the time and I can return you to the "best-case scenario" darling...

[Ally_Kat]

ah, i would love it if ya could, sweetie.
