15. LOL! Thank God the young folks are coming out.
They had me scared during the early voting. I guess we should have figured they'd wait until the last possible day... just like writing those term papers!

9. Nope. He needs Florida and Ohio. Then he still needs to poach
a blue state or two from Obama.

12. No.
McCain can't win without Florida AND Ohio. Obama CAN win without either, but could take them both! :bounce:

17. My daughter took a shuttle from her college campus to vote early.
In the first week of October, you could register and vote early on the same day, and the Obama campaign was running a shuttle every half hour from the University of Cincinnati to the board of elections for early voting.

25. Youth vote out in force in Tallahassee, Fl too.. I am at my son's apartment today and
we got up early to visit several polling sites...Lots of young people. FSU, contrary to those few jackasses that showed up at the Biden rally, really got out the vote for Obama. I am really heartened to see those kids standing in line. There was a bit of an overcast this morning, with a few raindrops but the sun broke through. I think it's going to be a GLORIOUS day.
