Obama supporter reporting on early voting in Florida.....funny.
http://open.salon.com/content.php?cid=34151


The McCain supporters looked like they were all from the same family and they did not even look my way when I got out of my car. It's not like I had any Obama colors on (unless you count my skin color.)

It seemed as if the two sides came up with a system. The McCain people had a sign that said honk once for McCain and the Obama people had one that said honk twice. Honestly, I think I only heard a single honk once and I believe it was because a lady cut another man off.

snip.....

I got there at 10 am and did not vote until 1:30pm. The line was slow moving but everyone was really nice. This lady was handing out Obama stickers and honestly almost everyone had one. If there were McCain voters there they kept it on the down low better than a gay Klan member.

4. great article
The last part rang clearest for me, if the republicans have lost the Cuban vote they have lost Florida.

6. How about a little humor... and a great video.. speaking of
A closeted gay, jewish, and/or black clan member.

All satire here, folks, and definitely worth a look.

7. Good report, but it seems crazy it should take so long.
The guy was right -- why not rent out a big convention hall or something to accommodate voters? Or, better yet, do like we do here in Oregon and have EVERYONE vote by mail.
