Early voting started today. I went about 11:30. There was a big crowd voting, and more came in before I left. I live in an area that generally votes about 65% reasonable, 35% Democrat. I wonder if the big turnout means that Republicans are spooked at the thought of Speaker Pelosi and will be turning out in larger numbers that pollsters expect. I hope so.

Of course they could all have been Democrats - can't tell by looking. We have more Republicans wearing overalls than three piece suits, so just because a person is old and appears to have a clothing budget with a picture of Jackson on it doesn't mean anymore that he is a Democrat.

Turnout could have been swelled by our four-way Governor's race - two independents vying with the regular party candidates. One former Republican stealing votes from the Republicans, one entertainer (named Kinky) stealing votes from the Democrats.

you know it would be good if kinky got elected.

Let me explain why i think that before you deem me as insane ( though i think most of you already have)

He is an outsider, this is good. Why? outside blood is new blood. And new blood in politics is good for the process, because it gives some more choice.

Sure he might be a entertainer but maybe his ideas are new and untried, gotta have this too,if you want to reinstill faith and enjoyment of voting.( I think all of you agree with this point, when i say returning faith and enjoyment to voting) Then again this could be tied into change.

Finally, it would just be funny to have him in office down to my south.
