Just Voted........Obama (OH)
Took the whole family down, and met the extended family there. :)
A steady stream of people, despite the ice. I would assume that results are going to take some time here tonight, as we used these big-ass long PAPER ballots. Gotta love those paper ballots.:thumbsup:


Go Obama!
:bounce:

1. Any sense of how it's going to go today?
I'm on tenterhooks, wondering if the NAFTA smear worked.

8. Well....
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 08:20 AM by OhioChick
I finished voting before my husband and was waiting. He turned around and with a smile yelled over to me: "I voted Obama!" Nearly everyone waiting gave the both of us a big smile or a thumbsup.

On edit: Spelling

24. Not here, I'm in TX. But thanks!
It was in the 30's overnight (COLD for us) but is supposed to warm up into the 60s. No fears, I am voting with enthusiasm! :hi:

25. savor the moment
someone working at the polls muttered unhappily about me being a Democrat this morning, [I assume} because my husband works for a Republican administration, in an overwhelmingly Republican community. That made the experience even more fun!

7. Great! I hope the weather does not decrease turn-out
too much. I'm so happy that I have a long work day today. Otherwise, I would be a nervous wreck checking DU every few minutes. LOL I'm like that every single day when people are voting!

9. At least it wasn't
one of those Diebold machines! :hi:

Thanks for the report and hope the weather will not deter the determined! One of my brother-in-laws is from Ohio (Dayton area) and I know people there are psyched.

17. Remember that you only have to vote with paper if you want
You are still entitled to vote electronically.

I voted OBAMA (Ohio also).

23. I'm sorry, but I work with optical scanning technology day in and day out
and I think the Secretary of State is way wrong on this one. I saw the lines on The Today Show this morning, too, and it makes me pessimistic about how long it's going to take to count votes.
