I finally finished filling in my sample ballot last night. I don't know how you early voters decide so quick.
I did my election cramming on Saturday night. I spent a few hours reading up on all the damn props and measures so I could vote on Sunday.
I drove by my polling place this morning on the way to work (after 9, though), and there was no line! Ah well.
My boss's boss was going to vote yes on Prop 7, but I convinced him not to at dinner last night. That was pretty cool. I felt so informed and persuasive! I also got a flister to vote no on Prop 3. I'm not very political, but I guess I can be a little political when the occasion calls for it.

...For real? Do Democrats melt or something?

Only because they've had way more organized GOTV efforts and more emphasis on early voting in the past. Not such a problem this round -- in fact, I'd bet they'll be more likely to call in dispirited.

Gorgeous day here in Boston. I was just out without my coat!
Of course, MA is THE anti-swing state.

Major snow storm predicted today. Not like it matters in Utah.
DC ... well, DC is Democratic to the core. I still remember Reagan's first election, against Mondale (and Geraldine Ferraro - remember?). The returns came in and Mondale's home state, Minnesota, was blue. So was DC. Everything else was red, red, red.
According to my friend who is carefully monitoring the wingnut conservative blogs, ZOMG the Black Panthers are going to STEAL THE ELECTION!!!
Do you get the sense that they've run out of strawmen?

I had to refer to my booklet to find I agree with you on both counts. I have always voted against bond measures in the past because I don't believe in borrowing from people who aren't even born yet but my brother convinced me to vote yes on prop 12 because the veterans always pay back their bonds.
we only had 3 propositions on the ballot, thankfully.
