Cautious Optimism

Just got back from early voting. Granted, I live in a conservative part of a conservative state, but there was an aura of energy and excitement at the polling location that I haven't felt in quite some time. Lots of cars with Romney stickers, lots of chatter while waiting in line, overall a general sense of shared purpose and 'let's get this done.'

Hopefully that will be repeated nationwide...

Good for you. Life on the road sucks sometimes, but at least you got to vote.

I don't know the end of week numbers, but as of 5 pm Tuesday night, our little polling place had recorded 1130 voters (our population is 3200, but as you know, early voting you can go to any county polling place).

I didn't know that. How do they handle local races (sheriff, county judge, etc.) if you vote early in a different county?

When they qualify you as a voter, they are also looking up your precinct number to give you the correct ballot. They get it right about 80% of the time.
