I voted in Kansas City North. Pretty quiet.

I drove by a little after 6 this morning and there was a line out the door. I went back about 8 and it looked like it was steady but not very heavy.

I always feel like my voting Dem. in Missouri is a waste of time. We are so outnumbered by the Reds.

I wanted to vote not just for Obama but also for Dem. Governor and Claire M. nd vote against Todd Aikin.

Now I just have towait and see what happens.

Go Obama!

I find it hard to believe that Johnson County has turned into a super right wing bastion. My aunt and cousin live in Johnson County and they are both very liberal. So there are some liberals out there.

Yeah, sometimes I feel being a liberal in JoCo is a huge waste of time, but then again I had Dennis Moore for a representative for years. So sad he came down with Alzheimers. I thought for sure the Dems would put someone, anyone up against Yoder for Congress, but all there was on the ballot was him and a Libertarian candidate. Sigh. Sometimes it's hard being a Dem in this county, but we'll just keep on trying. I mean Kansas had Kathleen Sebelius for a governor, so we get some things right!

I just drove by the voting place and the parking lot is full.

Big turn out in Missouri probably means all the churcdh people are getting out for Romney. Argh!
