ChiKat, two precincts vote in my middle school which appear to be demographically quite different (I was the only pasty white other than a new young election judge in my precinct while I was there. Not unusual. The other precinct? Pasty people in orthodox dress.) Sorta squat between two precincts, while not a half mile away is another polling place in a high school heavily tended towards the local Jewish community (judging by the hats in line.) Suspect it is all about available properties in an area in relation to the nearest district line. I also wonder about transport lines. Cause that damn well ought to be a consideration.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Always Anti-fascist!
JZ just gave me permission to beat down JS and CM(Not that I didn't hate them already. But, dudes, let the grown man talk.)

Well thankfully Katherine Harris is getting her ass handed to her on a plate, without an after dinner mint.
Watching karma work its magic on Katherine has been a delight.
I was hoping for a surprise win for Davis. Really I think Smith would have done better against Crist. Oh well. I won't miss JEB!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Supposedly this is the biggest mid-term voter turnout since '72. Or so a Republican whatsit said to Wonkette....

NBC is calling the MD governor's race for O'Malley
Hrm. Hope. 30 minutes ago, it wasn't. I think it largely depends on Baltimore City and Montgomery County. I'll wake up to it, uh huh. NO TV.

Is it true that Crist is homosexual?

The Associated Press has just posted a piece on its exit polls, and just like CNN's exit polls found, AP is finding that corruption is a key issue driving voters today. AP's exit numbers are also finding a surprisingly high number of evangelicals going Dem, a trend that many political analysts noted early in the cycle:
Those early exit polls also showed that three in four voters said corruption was very important to their vote, and they tended to vote Democratic. In a sign of a dispirited GOP base, most white evangelicals said corruption was very important to their vote — and almost a third of them turned to the Democrats.

Probably. Of course, his base will be totally shocked. That will be fun.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I suspect you are quite right on this. My apartment building is the dividing line between precincts. It's just annoying to drive by my house and see the polling place RIGHT THERE and have to keep going to get to where I vote.
