Up to 121 million people will vote, compared with 105 million in 2000, according to Curtis Gans, director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate. That would be 60 percent of eligible voters, the highest percentage since 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, when 61.9 percent of eligible voters went to the polls.

 

A heavy turnout probably hurts Bush, said Larry Sabato, who runs the University of Virginia's Center for Politics in Charlottesville, Virginia.

 

``If this turnout goes about 120 million, which it might, he's gone,'' Sabato said. ``That many new people are not showing up to say, `Good job, Mr. President.'''

You know who kids would vote for if they could vote?

I'm surprised the kids' soundbites did not include "me talk like Bush, me like" as a reason for the endorsement (which I believe a poster here has indicated as a positive thing hellno3d.gif )

I was at my fire dept precinct when it opened. As 7 of us filed in they handed us our paper ballots and pens and told us to "spread out around the room." I guess the idea was "no copying."

that's cute yelrotflmao.gifGoing down to the polling place is always an interesting experience. Today, however, I'm a little stressed out about the "record turnouts" and I hope I don't have to wait - impatient bitch that I am. hahaha.gif

They know most Bush voters would be totally embarrassed if anyone knew they were actually voting for that guy! laugh.gif

thanks will. i've been looking for leaks for a couple of hours.

 

not surprisingly the markets tanked on election day nerves and early word that bush might be in trouble thumbs_down.gif

its gonna come down to FLA, OH, and PA

 

the NH numbers look very strange, considering polling has put it at a dead heat the last couple months. I'd be surprised to see a real 15% spread there!

 

but i dont believe Rove will surrender his baby so easily
