1. I only heard steady, but nobody knows what that really means.

2. the NYT thinks it "seems" high
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/13/turnout-seems-high-in-w-va/

whatever the hell that means.

steady means there are voters showing up like clockwork - it doesn't necessrily mean either high OR low turnout.

3. I voted about 7:30 this morning
The turnout seemed to be steady but I don't think it will set any records. We had early voting here in WV plus I suspect there will be a flurry of late voters today. A lot of folks around here can't vote early in the morning because they have long drives to get to work.

I couldn't find a parking spot at my polling place. But that's just once location, of course.

7. It might just be the outfits you wear.
Try pantsuits.

5. There was a line when I went earlier. (Monongalia County)
I'd never seen so many people so early in the day for a primary. I was amazed.

17. Is that your cat???
I didn't realize that was your cat!

He is big, but he is so adorable!!

My kids and husband were gathered around the computer looking at him, and my
7-year old daughter said, "He's big...he's round...he's a circle cat!"

:) ...too cute!

15. What would be a "good" loss for Obama?
60/40?

Not that it really matters, but it will be spun.
