EARLY VOTING LINES LONG in Maryland today!

Had business in Maryland and I was right next to a polling place. Traffic was backed up, police directing to make things easier. The line hundreds of people long for the several hours I was there.

Demographics were very much in our favor!!

2. I don't believe there is any concern about Maryland going to Romney.

9. Yes but there is an important Prop and Question on the ballot

Prop 6 - Marriage Equality
Question B - Police Bargaining Rights

There are several others but those are the most important to me and may be driving turnout (particularly Prop 6)

Unfortunately, there were a lot of old Republicans in line with me. But then, I live in a pretty conservative neighborhood. I just noticed this afternoon that all the Obama yard signs suddenly went missing, but the Robme signs are still there.

I've noticed fewer Obama signs in Northern Virginia too - stolen I'm guessing.
