#1 Dunno about everyone else, but I'm pretty fired up. I cast a straight party ticket (R) on the second day of early voting here in Texas, two weeks ago.

#2 My whole family cast straight (R) tickets this time around, in Oregon so got the ballots a couple of weeks ago and voted then.

#3 We're going to go as a family this afternoon. I'm voting straight Republican, except for a few Tea Party recommendations.

#4 My family and I join all of you in voting a straight Republican ticket. It will be interesting to see what happens in Wichita between Pompeo and Goyle over Todd Tiahart's seat in Congress.

#6 Those of you in Ohio: John Kasich's running mate, State Auditor Mary Taylor, used to be a CPA in private practice. I shared several clients with her, and I always found her to be intelligent, professional, smart as a whip, and very pleasant to work with. Please consider voting for her.

(If that's not a good enough reason, Gov. Strickland is mad as a hatter, he's Jimmy Carter without the peanuts.)

#7 is it considered voting straight R if there was only one election on the ballot? Combined my morning exercise with my Constitutional duties by walking to the polling location.

#8 Voted 2 hours ago in Minnesota. To all 'burgers:

Vote early. Vote often. They can't cheat if it isn't close.

#9 I did NOT vote a straight R ticket. I'm in Colorado, so I had to veer off and go Tancredo for Gov (instead of that self-centered idiot crook Dan Maes).

Everyone - try to call peopel you know, even if they are in a ntoher state, and encoruage them to get out and vote - and for them to call others as well. Especially if you know someone in Colorado - we need all the help we can get for Ken Buck, Ryan Frazier and Tom Tancredo.

#10 kansas should be all red. Keep an eye on Kobach who should be the new Sec. of State. He helped write the Arizonia law and is running on a strong voter ID platform. Also, several of Sebelius's court appointments are up for confirmation and we hope to kick their asses out, esp. Biere who is a combination of Kagan and Sotomoyer.

#11 Just keep in mind: due to high expected turnout, today is Election Day for Republicans and Independents **ONLY**. For Democrats, Election Day is tomorrow, Wednesday, November 3rd. Your cooperation is appreciated.

#12 Warty-Wifal unit and I voted straight (R) also. Although in Kalifornia...we're strangers in a strange land. I'll be watching Katie Couric tonight in the hopes she has a break down on air...getting the popcorn and champagne ready...would love to her her have to say "Christine O'Donnell - Senator elect" followed by Carly Fiorina (Almost an anagram for California BTW) and Meg

#13 I voted for Roy Blunt (R) over Carnahan in Missouri. Anyone unopposed I didn't vote for. I was a little bit more picky on the state level, even voted for a Dem. Voted against every judge, and every proposition that would increase taxes.

#14 Done, all four of us. They demanded photo i.d. at the polling place. One of the poll workers said a few people have objected to providing i.d.

#15 LOL @ Dave D
Considering the videos I've seen of some of the Stewartpalooza attendees, that strategy may have a chance of success!

#16 Voted this morning on the way to work (I never leave it until after work in case I get stuck working overtime - that's a holdover from the days when I worked 7 to 3 and could get held for a half-shift longer). The only signs around the polling place were for Cantor (though he did have 2 opponents); the only person there for a candidate was a nice, non-pushy lady for Cantor. I liked the fact that he put on a regular campaign, even though he was a shoo-in. I've met him a couple of times, and he seems like a pretty good guy.

Voted for Eric Cantor for U.S. Representative; the only other things on the ballot were some state constitutional amendments (voted both for and against, depending).

One of the constitutional amendments was to allow the "Rainy Day" fund to be larger than it presently can be. Well, duh.

#17 done here in Santee, and my Army son is home on two-week leave and got get his vote counted (unlike so many in uniform). Two "I'm not sure if I'm registered here" got their ID's checked and provisional ballots given out...

#18 Almost straight ticket (R) in Caliphornia, except for the turn-coat Abel Maldonado. I went Libertarian for the Lt. Govenor.

I was pleased to be asked for ID (for ounce) and said so. The volunteer indicated that some were objecting to the "intrusion". Wondered if any had to leave and come back.

#19 My brother, along with nearly every other democrat in Oklahoma, is being hammered two to one in the polls.
