Most of the country today is having what used to be known as "Democratic weather." With good, warm weather, it's expected that more Democrats will vote. I guess they're easily discouraged otherwise.

2. Will the Republican Party (as distinguished from McCain) have any responsibility to repair the damage it is deliberately doing to race relations in this country --- all in the interest of winning? Or, will it be up to other forces to pick up the pieces while they go on their merry way? I have been seeing this hate ad about Obama's minister. CLICK
Very disturbing.

And, look at this vicious example:
3. Midmorning voting around central Michigan has ben going pretty quickly. We've heard of 10 minutes wait time, now that the morning rush is over, and it took us 21 minutes. Big cities may be another matter, however. We know the crunch will come later.

I chair a precinct in northern Genesee County, Michigan. People were lined up at 6 AM to vote starting at 7 AM. We were overwhelmed early, with the crowds finally clearing about 9:30 AM.
After that, it was steady all day, but never more than a 5 - 10 minute wait after that. Ironically, those early voters wanting to beat the crowd were the crowd , sometimes waiting 40 - 50 minutes after the polls opened.
I would be interested in feedback from other areas, but in my precinct ( #14 - Mt. Morris Twp., Michigan ) there were NO McCain signs or workers anywhere to be found. McCain truly conceded Michigan to Obama if my precinct was typical.
From Gerard Baker in the Times Online. Yesterday’s results were head-spinning stuff. In electing Barack Obama president by a solid margin, accompanied by a congress with the biggest Democratic majority since the 1970s, Americans have signalled a dramatic change in the direction of the world’s sole superpower. The country regarded loftily by many Europeans as hopelessly racist and irredeemably right wing has voted to be ruled by a black man, at the head of a party committed to economic redistribution and a foreign policy rooted in peaceful diplomatic engagement.
I can't stop grinning like an idiot!
