Arrived at the poll in Shorewood at 6:50 AM and a line of over 100 people were waiting in line. After voting the lines were still there. Voting is heavy but moving well.

Was the Tea Party there yelling at you and the rest of the folks? It's rumored there are going to be MILLIONS of them out at the polls today, screaming and yelling at people.

No, but there's an grumpy troll named "Bob McBride" spewing his bitter venom here.

Feel very well after volunteering to take a person to vote that I didn't know. He was very grateful. That is what life is about, helping others.

I listened to a very, very interesting interview on NPR (1st link) by Michael Lewis who spent 6 months interviewing and shadowing President Obama. Even the president said he was shocked at the roadblocks put up/tactics employed by opposing interests every time an initiative was put forth. DEFINITELY worth listening to for a true or as true as possible insight of what President Obama is faced with in office.
