Stitch: Good question! I don't know! I need to update my location tag because I moved to Colorado this summer.
Pretty much everything here looks like a lock, though.

I should probably get the reference but I don't. Also that is pretty god damn close to me, I could be there in less than an hour probably (though I know nothing of the place)! Well, I guess I'll go pickup some kerosene.

What in the hell is with these pictures of lines 30+ people deep? I've never waited behind more than like 5 people (2 people today). And I used to live in a square mile that held 18,000 people. AND we had 80% turnout in 2004.
Y'all need to write your secretaries of state and ask for more polling places or something.

America has over 700 military bases in 130+ countries around the world. Occupation. Tell me that's not an empire. It's not called one, but if it looks like a duck...
But oh, right, I forgot, some of you guys seem to think that the state is some magic genie that can make anything happen! We don't have enough money to wage the banksters' wars? We'll print it! We need to send more "humanitarian aid" to georgia, where 75% of it will be spent on the military? Ok! Anything's possible with government if you imagineer it!

boy you sure have our number
Back at the plot, the real magic starts in six minutes when polls close in Virginia. Once we get those results we'll start to know how in the bag this truly is.

I get 298-240.
All the Kerry states (252 surely?) plus Iowa (7), New Mexico (5), Nevada (5), Colorado (9) and Ohio (20).

What time do you go to the polls, 2AM?
There are something like 5k registered voters assigned to my polling location. If you went there between 7AM and 8AM today, you might have waited 15 minutes. The wait times are probably 30 minutes right now. Obviously, in a working town the lines are smallest during the middle of the day. But I don't think I've ever seen just *two* people in line.

Yesirree.
The man is going to do whatever his controllers tell him to, the same as McCain. Wake up.
You're right. The difference is, Obama's controllers are the American people.
