Heavy Turnout In My Polling Place! (No Hollywood, CA)
Drove by LINES OF PEOPLE WAITING TO GET IN, in my heavily Union, heavily Dem neighborhood. Yay! I'm off to vote now. IF IT'S NOT CLOSE THEY CAN'T DIEBOLD IT....I really think if the turnout is good in places like my neighborhood, it will make it hard on the evildoers to steal it. GET OUT AND VOTE FOLKS!!

2. Could You Say That Warren Beatty And Annette Benning
have done a good job by getting out there and making all the noise they did??

Beatty has been a "forever" Democrat and was much more outspoken years back and I was extremely glad to see him on the scene again. Since we have such a "culturally" driven electorate I've long since felt that more activism by these types would be helpful as they had been in the past.

I was around during Viet Nam when this was much more prevalent and only in the last ten years have they stopped using their clout!

Democrats really need to help them and support them to be more vocal and resist this administration's "hate, moral outrage" campaign against them, basically calling them nothing less than Communists!!!

5. I'm glad people are getting out there and voting. A large turnout
is probably not good news for Arnold. Although, there is one measure on the ballot (parental notification) which could increase conservative turnout---that one does cut across part lines though.

Now that I've gone Absentee, I never darken the door of a polling place. Amazed that so many people still do it the old way.

8. I hope your assesment is accurate.
If so, then Arnold is going to end his political career today.

11. Don't be so sure high turnout will stop manipulation of the vote. Arnold
predicting today a "last minute come from behind" win for his initiatives.

12. Can they BE more obvious about the theft?
I am now officially sure that the mainstream press is a full and equal partner in the theft of Democracy known as our election process.
Why insist there be no exit polling in VA, CA, and NJ except that they are going to steal it?

Even so, when I voted, in CA, there were exit pollsters outside asking how I voted and when I asked how the initiatives were polling they said all of them but Prop. 79 was DOA.
Something like 55 to 60% against and 10% for. It's still early, but if these things pass, it is most definitely because of vote fraud.
