ROCKIN’ IN THE FREE WORLD
I voted at 6:15 this AM.
My precinct (Algonquin 1) uses the optical scan ballot…sort of reminded me of taking my SAT test. I was VERY CAREFUL in marking my ballot, making sure that I blackened the oval next to George Bush’s name without going outside of the line. (Note: I nearly flunked Advanced Coloring in kindergarten so you can imagine what the damn ballot looked like after I was finished with it.)
I complained to the judge that the guy at the street corner waving the Kerry sign was less than 100 feet from the poll. He looked at me like I was some kind of nutcake (I am) and told me that “everything was taken care of.” (Superhawk glares at the moonbat with a look that could’ve melted the moonbat’s tin foil cap.)
I’ll be liveblogging the election tonight starting at 5:00 pm Central Time. I’ll be happy to add a link to your posting if you’re doing the same. Also, feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment…let’s have some fun tonight!
The Capn’ will also be live blogging tonight…make sure you link back to his site for some first rate analysis.
ELECTION NIGHT TOOLS
First, John Lund’s excellent piece in WSJ today gives poll closing times in all the states plus some excellent analysis. Print this out and follow along tonight.
Second, the interactive MSNBC electoral map is SO MUCH FUN! I’ve spent a lot of time plugging in various scenarios and it’s a riot! I plan on using it extensively tonight.
NZ Bear has a link to some good resources also. If you have any additional resources, let me know.
Townhall has an EXCELLENT election site with live commentary from around the world…should be interesting.
