6. Well, I usually vote ahead of time. I was the 111th voter in the precinct
at about 10:15. I heard there were over a million absentees cast, but who knows how they broke between republican and Democrat.

We use paper ballots, but the registration system that they look you up on (they only had 1) was down for 20 minutes so a good line formed at that time. No one could vote.

The lady doing the registration checks blamed it on the guy ahead of me since he tried to sign his name on the touch pad before she told him to. Someone else came along after 15 minutes of a high pitched squeal coming from the machine and just hit a button to reboot it. 5 minutes later people were voting agian. I would say in the half hour or so I was there 25 more people showed up.

I know we won't get delegates. But, we would have had more delegates than IA,NH,NV, and SC combined, I think... I don't think it would be wise for anyone to discount the results just because we don't get the delegates to back it up. The republican's only get half of their delegates, and FL looms huge in their primary.

More on this tonight if I see people pooh-poohing the results.

9. I'm desperately hoping I can when the Ohio primary comes around.
I'm hoping that there are enough like you out there to keep him around.

I'm really hoping for John's best debate performance yet on Thursday! The debate is still on, isn't it? I just remembered the strike.

22. He had my vote, until he dropped out.
First Kucinich, now Edwards.

I hope Gravel stays in it until the convention.

18. Oh, man, that must feel good. I can't wait for Super Tuesday.
I think I'll have an involuntary multiple orgasm in the voting booth.

19. I did too around noon...
and it did feel good - but I have to admit I felt sad not to be able to vote for Dennis....But all along Dennis has been my first choice and Edwards my second.

But my voting was sad because it reminded me I live in Stuck on Stupidville - so many Ron Paul signs - it is frightening how STUPID these people on the space coast really are...
