Editor's Update #1 - So far we've received OVER 100 complaints of voter irregularities. We've forwarded the complaints to the REQUISITE AUTHORITY. We expect the first round of EXIT POLLS around 1:00 so check back then...
Editor's Update #2 - Obama won his first 2 towns - Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, N.H. Obama defeated McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement in Tuesday's first minutes. The town of Hart's Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns' ballots but got no votes. The towns have 115 residents between them.
Editor's Update #3 - Exit poll update. Apparently the networks are keeping EXTRA TIGHT tabs on exit polling information. So tight that our usually reliable network source was unable to get the info. All we're being told is that things are "looking good" for Obama in Virginia. We'll have numbers sometime after 5 PM. Check back then...
Editor's Update #4 -The first exit polls for the 2008 election have been released - though not poll numbers but, rather, perceptions on particular issues.
The key concern to most voters, far and away, was the economy, which 62 percent of respondents say was foremost on their mind.Iraq, once thought to be the chief issue of the election, was chosen only bt 10 percent of voters are their primary concern.
Meanwhile, nine percent of voters said terrorism was the top issue, the same number who listed health care.
Editor's Update #5 Here's more Exit poll info:
New Voters (Estimated 10% of voters nationwide) Indiana: Obama 73% McCain 27% Ohio: Obama 69% McCain 31% Virginia: Obama 63% McCain 36%White Men Indiana: Obama 44% McCain 54% Ohio: Obama 47% McCain 51% Virginia: Obama 39% McCain 58%

I VOTED THIS MORNING @ 6:23AM WITH MY 7YR SON.
I LET HIM CHOOSE AND WE BOTH MY HAND OVER HIS MOVED THE LEVER TO CAST.
IF THERE WAS EVER A TIME TO BE PROUD, THIS IS IT. I AM VERY PROUD OF MY PEOPLE.
I SEEN ELDERLY WOMEN AND MEN, PEOPLE IN WHEEL CHAIRS WITH CANE'S.
I DROVE PAST ANOTHER SCHOOL WHERE THE LINES WERE DOWN THE BLOCK AND AROUND THE CORNER.
I JUST HONKED MY HORN AND WAVED MY HAND.
TODAY I AM VERY PROUD BOTH MY YOUNGER BROTHERS ARE VOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME!
OBAMA 08"
@duceconstant- Brother you are absolutely right! Black FOLKS PLEASE DON'T ACT A DAMN FOOL if/when OBAMA wins the election! Please be RESPONSIBLE about our victory! Smile and rejoice on the INSIDE ONLY! DOn't go out to celebrate by getting smashed and acting a black hot mess in the street. We have to act intelligently more often now. We must represent Obama in a positive light as well.
I am so glad MTO is finally covering a POSITIVE story about our powerful black leaders. This is a good look MTO. HEY I'm so HAPPY I voted a month ago for Obama! He makes me so PROUD to be black today! IF you haven't done so, get out and VOTE!!!
TODAY,
my babies, my nieces, nephews (especially the one that professionally raps b/c he thinks that is the only way he will be on top), cousins, my neighbors babies, the troubled little boy in my daughters school, that one dude in my neighborhood when i was coming up, my children's father, that one guy i know that cant win for loosing!, my best friend, that single parent who looks at her babies w/ hope, will see today, that you really can be what ever you want!!!
let's remember to not let him down! after he wins tomorrow, lets keep hope alive on a united front!
@duceconstant...Well said. It's sad that this country is 232 years old and Black people have lived here for centuries yet we are just now electing our first Black president. The reason some people never wanted a Black president is based on the negative actions of a few and the stereotypes that many aren't ashamed to live up to. Please, everyone, make this a positive change!
thats right!!!!! i voted, springfield gardens, ny. at 7:30am. it would have been at 6:00am, but there was only slight confusion as to what district i was in.but i did it!and i will party at the queens campain headquarters located at 136-11 farmers blvd in springfield gardens,ny. those in nyc can come out.the lines are bananas, but the energy is great.history is comming. people were takin pics and running camcorders. but please, don't record or bring cameras inside the polling place, they will arrest you.but otherwise, please vote, its worth the wait.
THANK YOU MTO!!!! THANK YOU! YESTERDAY I SAID YOU GUYS HAD BETTER HAVE MY MAN OBAMA AS YOUR LEAD STORY. YOU TOOK MY THREATS SERIOUSLY HUH?? (JUST KIDDING) I FIGURED YOU GUYS WOULD HONOR HIM AND THIS DEFINITELY IS A SPECIAL DAY FOR AMERICA. PARTICULARLY YOUNG BLACK MEN WHO CAN DARE TO DREAM EVEN BIGGER NOW. YOUNG BLACK 3RD GRADERS CAN NOW SAY, I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”, WHEN I GROW UP"..AND IT WILL NO LONGER BE VIEWED AS FAR FETCHED. BECAUSE OF HILLARY WOMEN CAN NOW ALSO SAY THE SAME. SO PLEASE WAIT IN LINE MY FRIENDS, VOTE, AND PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BARACK OBAMA. Well that completes my Obama speech for today.
"My name is fire4you and I approve this message". Lol !
i was so happy today, i didnt even go to school. i went to the polling location...... to be told i couldn't vote. i registered 3 times to make sure no [EXPLETIVE] like this would happen(me not being able to vote) and they still said at the election office that i wasnt in their system, so i hope OBAMA kicks a/s/s. cuz these white folks dont want new voters voting r sumthin.
Good Morning people it was such a blessing to be a part of such a great time in history. It is such an honor. Those of you who are parents please put somrthing together for your children as a keep sake to mark this day. Im going to creat a page for a scrap book with my I voted sticker and some pictures I took of the crowd and my reg. card. I'm so excited.
@ CLARA….
YOUR POST IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.CALM DOWN SWEETIE. HE’LL DO WHAT HE CAN, AND NOTHING MORE. THEY JUST DON’T WANT YOU OR US TO SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS TOO HIGH, FOR AN INSTANT MIRACLE. BE REALISTIC. THE COUNTRY IS IN A MESS! ALSO, I SUGGEST THAT YOU RESEARCH POLITICS AND HOW THE GOVERNMENT WORKS. YOU WILL FIND THAT CONGRESS AND THE SENATE HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH WHAT PASSES ACROSS THE PRESIDENTS DESK. REST ASSURED,THEY WILL FIGHT HIM TOOTH AND NAIL. WHILE I BELIEVE THAT HE HAS THE INTELLECT , THE COMMUNICATION SKILLS ,AND THE ABILITY TO CROSS PARTY LINES, WE STILL JUST DON’T KNOW UNTIL HE GETS INTO OFFICE ,,HOW THEY WILL RECEIVE HIM. MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU STATED AND SEEM TO WANT CHANGED ARE LEGISLATED AND GOVERNED BY YOUR LOCAL AND STATE OFFICIALS. LOANS IN GENERAL, ARE BASED ON CLEAN CREDIT. SO DO YOUR PART. EQUAL TREATMENT, INVOLVES CHANGING THE HEART OF MAN. THAT'S A SMALL MIRACLE. SOME FOLKS WILL "ALWAYS" BE PREJUDICE AND BIGOTS. IT'S IN THEIR HEART. ALSO, YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT YOUR CHOICE FOR MAYOR AND GOVERNOR OF YOUR STATE. THAT AFFECTS YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE DIRECTLY THAN ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL. NO OFFENSE, BUT TAKE SOME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL. REMEMBER THAT HE HAS CONSTANTLY STATED THAT IN MANY OF HIS SPEECHES. PRAY …
tamia09grad Flag post i was so happy today, i didnt even go to school. i went to the polling location...... to be told i couldn't vote. i registered 3 times to make sure ************** hey. i'm sorry to hear that. don't give up! call 1-866-687-8683. you should have been given a provisional ballot or something! if you registered and had proper id, you should be allowed to vote! Try this number also..1-866-MYVOTE1, 1-866-OUR-VOTE. also try googling your local secretary of states office/voting rights.
I had to do the absentee ballot, but my dad did the early vote and waited in line for 6 hours! But, it's okay. It's for the greater good. The feeling he felt when he finally cast his vote was well worth the wait. I have never been so anxious and excited about a presidential election before. We're about to make history!

Dear GOD, We pray for optimum health, mental clarity and political prosperity for Barack Obama. We pray that what he lacks in political 'experience' you make up for with supernatural wisdom and power. We also pray that when his enemies come upon him they will stumble and fall; and that your love will fill his heart to the end that 'Your will'will be done through him.
We pray mightily for his protection. As we plead the Blood of Jesus over him and his family, we ask you to dispatch legions of angels to protect them from all hurt, harm, danger, and from all accidents and incidents as he seeks to become the next President of these United States of America.
We thank and praise you for answering our sincere prayers. In Jesus' Name, AMEN
Obama 08'

duceconstant Don't act foolishly because Obama's rise is the rise of all of us who would be risen by his rise. Who would be inspired by his rise. These young children that are here who probably want an NBA contract or an NFL contract and want to be singers & comedians. Now they say well the sky is the limit. I can be what I want to be. Well, that's a key that can't ever go back in the box again. ================================================== This part brought tears to my eyes.
Great post Duce!
@ nodisc Flag post It's so funny to see, how yall think this sh1t is square and fair. Yall got short azz memories. Good luck. The fix is in.
------------------------- YOU ARE TO OLD FOR THIS SHIIT. MY VOTE DON'T COUNT IS FOR TEENS THAT NEVER VOTED AND BY YOUR COMMENT I WOULD SAY U R NOT A TEEN. IF PPL VOTES DIDN'T COUNT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD HILLARY AS THE NOM. ANYWAY TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. BUT I BET YO ASS BE AT THE STORES ON BLACK FRIDAY.
@TROOPER.....Don't even give him/her the satisfaction!!
@tjtrae1...........PA in the House!!
I voted early this morning!
Be advised that Obama will be the president of the United States which means he will be for all the people, there won't be any silver spoons put in our mouths it is up to you to take advantage of the opportunities that will be created for you, it's still up to you to see to it that your children receive a good education, that they do there homework get good grades go to college etc. Obama's not going to do that for you. Don't expect miracles. Continue to be proactive as we continue to climb up the ladder of success by taking advantage of opportunities that are available to you..
I see no boundaries now; I can do what I want and be who I want!!
DO ANYONE HAVE THE BOOK OF PREDICTIONS BY BISHOP BERNARD JORDAN???? REV RUNS MENTOR AND BISHOP. I WAS TALKING TO MY COUSIN LAST NIGHT AND SHE WAS TELLING ME HOW HIS PREDICTIONS BE ON POINT AND HOW IN 1999 HE WAS SITTING AT A TABLE WITH SOME FOLKS AND TOLD THEM THAT GOD TOLD HIM IN 2008 IT WILL BE A AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND HIS NAME WILL BE "ROCK" THEN HE SAID SORRY GOD I MEAN "BARACK" BUT HE NEVER SAID THE LAST NAME. HE ALSO WROTE IN THIS BOOK IT WILL BE THE MOST DEPRESSIVE TIME FOR BLACKS MEANING THE ONES THAT THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A FREE RIDE CUZ THE PREZ IS BLACK. THIS IS ALSO THE SAME GUY THAT PREDICTED KATRINA AND THE EXACT HERE AND LOCATION, TSUAMI, AND A LOT OF OTHER ACCURATE STUFF THIS GUY HAS SAID AND WRITTEN YEARS BEFORE IT HAPPEN.
ALSO IN 2005 KIM CLEMENT WAS ON LARRY KING AND KING ASKED HIM HOW LONG WILL HE BE ABLE TO DO CNN BECUZ OF HIS HEALTH AND LIVE. KIM TOLD HIM YOU WILL BE AROUND UNTIL U INTERVIEW THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT.
You know, I woke up yesterday and the first thing that popped into my head was, there's a very real chance of another stolen election this year.
You know how sneaky repubs. are; they're already trying to convince dems. standing in line that they are supposed to vote on the 5th instead of the 4th. They probably have way more tricks up their sleeve that we just haven't heard about.
Then it occurred to me that if McCain steals this election, he will be the president and I have NO IDEA what he will do in office. Obama's has told us several times what he plans to do, but McCain hasn't said what he plans to do - he only bashes Obama and/or tries to contradict him. The man doesn't seem to have any real platform or substance, which tells me he's DEFINITELY going to be another "W".
Furthermore, all his "maverick" jive and "war hero" b.s. is just that - B.S. He wasn't a war hero; he graduated BOTTOM 5TH of his class, he crashed 5 planes, AND got taken prisoner, but was released when they "found out" that his dad was a general. Hmm, I wonder how they "found out".
That's no hero in my opinion, and I certainly don't want someone with that kind of war experience in charge during wartime.
WHO EVER VOTES FOR McCain IS A PIECE OF RACIST S|H|I|T|SMALL MINDED M|O|F|U|C|K|A|S| WANT TO KEEP THAT CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS MENTALITY S|H|I|T| GOING|YOU MURDERING THE WHOLE F|U|C|K|I|N| COUNTRY SELFISH A|S|S| F|U|C|K|S| AND USING FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO JUSTIFY CLOSED MINDED A|S|S| Their either Voting for McCain because he's white or their rich|Lets cut the B|U|L|L|S|H|I|T| I WASN'T BORN IN AMERICA YESTERDAY|
duceconstant Flag post Thanks 4 reading conscious1 .it's an emotional time right...what up tracylee we out here getting it in on that voting tip ======================================= No...thank YOU. Inspirational indeed. And very much to the point. No partying til 3 am. Rejoice silently. The best man never has to flaunt his victory.
Pssssst. You know mofos waiting for us to act up so they can "legally" end your life. They're just itching. We cannot give this to them. Not the victory nor the demise of one of us who happen to share the same hue as Obama.
Please make sure that you are voting at the correct place and that they have you curret and correct address because they tried me! They had my old address from 2 years ago where I changed my address at my DMV more than a year ago. So I had to vote with a provisional ballad! I am telling you, They are going to TRY YOU!
@ trooper....------------------------- YOU ARE TO OLD FOR THIS SHIIT. MY VOTE DON'T COUNT IS FOR TEENS THAT NEVER VOTED AND BY YOUR COMMENT I WOULD SAY U R NOT A TEEN. IF PPL VOTES DIDN'T COUNT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD HILLARY AS THE NOM. ANYWAY TODAY IS A GOOD DAY. BUT I BET YO ASS BE AT THE STORES ON BLACK FRIDAY ************ lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!! you so on point. i still hear that crap too. i kinda think this person is just paranoid though, that they will steal the election from him. is what she seems to be aluding too.After all, absentee ballots are paper ballots and can be tampered with for example. CNN said a lot of blacks refused to do absentee voting , because of this. there is still some paranoia among us, so i say purchase your champagne, chill it, but don't open it just yet. -:)
@ stormzoe,... ethnic area and they have been standing in lines all morning. There is definitely trickery going on. ******************* I don't think there is any trickery going on. i think the suburban people...(at least the ones here) voted early. i live and work in a suburban area and as i passed i noticed the long lines all week. So they are all done with voting. A lot of blacks have waited until the actual day of. That's an option as well as it is just a good thing. It means that we just have record turn outs and a lot of new voters. a CNN analyst said last night that he felt that in some areas black turn out would be in upwards of 97% of registered voters..old and new showing up. lol! everybody that is black and can vote ..are out voting today. it's amazing.
There's definitely trickery going on in the hoods. The Rachel Maddows show exposed it. How they give them broken down machines. The longer lines to deter people from voting. They did a whole rundown of how they try to suppress the minority/poor/young vote as that's usually the demographic of the Dems.
That Kennedy guy spoke about it. How to steal an election. His book is titled somethign to that effect. He used to do work for the Republicans but got sent to jail and now he's dishing the secrets.
Y'all see the video of that man saying they count on people not voting to win elections? And the American way is for less people to vote? That the majority has never voted anyone in office and they would like to keep it that way? Ignorant fukk!
@stormzoe...i live in ohio, and i feel what you sayin, but you cannot let the past discourage you....yea i was str8 pissed at the last election, but you got to believe that your vote makes a difference and we have got to move forward....c'mon girl you got to have faith, have you ever seen such a turnout across the country?.....stay strong the LORD got this on lock!!!!!

Im sorry, but im not voting for either one of these clowns, home boy has too much white in his ass for me. you all might except him as black but half isnt good enough for me. If a true black man ever run for president I will vote him till then nope. I know everybody gonna get poppin mad, but I have a mind of my own I dont follow trends, he isnt black, never will be black, hell is white grandmother just died enough said. p.s. and he not qualified enough he is just a talker and we know how black folk look up to talkers thats why all these preachers get your money. real talk go ahead and bitch about im saying but i am right and soon as that [EXPLETIVE] he has been talking about doing dont happen you all will be talking about half white ass just you turn on your favorite so call celebrities. If he was a total white man with his credintials black folk would talk about him like a dog because he doesnt have any creditials two years in the senate give me break and on the other hand if mccain was black and with credentials he has he would be up on a pedistial in black folks eyes. the black community is so weak because we are weak ass followers and except anything as ours he might yall brother but he isnt mine. his skin might be brown but his genes are half [EXPLETIVE]. yall talk about white folks and you are breaking your neck someone that is half white. get your mind rihgt
I BARACKED THE VOTE THIS MORNING...7:20am to be exact...and more than anything, I'm proud to know that this is a historically monumental moment in time and I'M a part of it...my CHILDREN will grow up and will know about the most controversial election in US history and hopefully they will see that, even amongst all the corruption and intimidation, WE have the POWER to bring a BLACK MAN into office....
GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OBAMA, GOD BLESS ALL OF US!!!
VOTE 2008!!!
@stormzoe... yea girl we both know how ohio is but never forget we have a voice too, for me when i was standin line all i could vision was the lines of black ppl votin 4 the first time back in the day (saw this on the keep your eyes on the prize series), to me it was like no matter who got in office we got a say so in that now and there's no turnin back. we are a part of history, even to make history, just don't let the ookie dook get you down.
FROM CNN:
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama began a historic Election Day Tuesday by voting alongside his wife and children.
The Obama family visits its neighborhood polling place on Tuesday.
At the Shoesmith Elementary School polling place near his Chicago home, a smiling Obama and his wife, Michelle, were joined by daughters Sasha and Malia, who watched their parents mark their paper ballots.
As Obama placed his ballot into a scanning machine surrounded by supporters and reporters, he said, "I hope this works. I'll be really embarrassed if it doesn't."
When the machine took the ballot, the crowd cheered, prompting the first African-American presidential candidate on a major party ticket to smile and say, "I voted."
Later, before departing for Indiana, Obama told reporters, "I feel great and it was fun, I had a chance to vote with my daughters ... I feel really good."
But, he said, he doesn't feel sentimental just yet.
"You know I'm sure I will tonight, that's when polls close," he said. "The journey ends, but voting with my daughters, that was a big deal."
He joked that "Michelle took a long time" to vote. "I had to check to see who she was voting for."
AMEN KARISMA!!! Very well said!
Honestly, the brevity of Obama being the first Black president just hit me this week. I voted for him in the primaries because I liked his health care plan better than Hilary's. But finally having a majority Democratic congress with a Democrat President? AHHHH-that's like a dream come true!!! Now we can finally make a difference in this country!!!
Bolio man, get with the program and stop being part of the sheep-be the WOLF on the pasture-na' mean?
@ nodisc
I partially agree with you. I'm still counting on a stolen election; they're sneaky as hell.
Most people don't realize that it's NOT THE VOTERS that decide the election - it's the ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
That's how this country's "democracy" is cast. That's why Regan's repub. spokesperson said what he said about them depending on "non votes".
The reality is that people don't matter, THEY decide who wins. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE; look it up.
I hope he wins, cause he's the best man for the job, but he has to get electoral votes, not the people's vote, which is why this country is so fukked up.

I already dun voted and it felt damn good. I know I Baracked the vote and you'd better do it too. It pisses me off cause my brother in another state, Missouri of all places where it will be difficult said he ain't voting cause he know he ain't gonna win. I told him you damn skippy he won't win when folks don't exercise their rights and sit back and criticize. What a loser... Obama or die baby. Cause if he don't win it's gonna be a riot fo sho.
And for those that are too lazy to look it up, I'd provide a link, but it will not show up here; so all I'll say is go to:
Wikipedia or the Federal government archives; it's all right there in black and white.
I know you'd like to think your vote counted, but unless you're a member of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, it didn't matter at all.

I just voted I went with my whole Family, I want to think positive but you people know how these [EXPLETIVE] are, they will and can steal this election if they want to. I don’t want to get all happy then later on tonight find out McCain wins. Until it is announced that Obama won. I’m going to keep my fingers crossed and keep praying.
I early-voted over 2 weeks ago & when I woke up this morning, EARLY, I couldn't get back to sleep!
It was like a child's Christmas morning & I was in anticipation of a pretty special outcome.:-)
THESE EYES won't close for sleep until the wee hours of Wedneday OR the election VICTOR is called out - whichever comes 1st!
GO OBAMA[SPAM]!
I voted early.
McCain just said on CNN that when his mother went to France, no rental company would rent a car to her due to her age, realizing this, she purchased a car in France. How can most of the U.S. relate to this man?
Some people can not afford to go to France. Some people who could afford to go to France before Bush can no longer afford to go to France. This chick (his mother) went to France and purchased a car in France.
If Obama does not win this election, people are gonna go postal.
I voted on Saturday, but I found myself up at 4:00am this morning praying for Obama and his family's well being. I am from N. Carolina and we are pretty much considered a Republican state (the last time a democratic presidential candidate won was when Jimmy Carter ran), so all my fellow Carolinians do what you got to do to make CHANGE occur!!!
I voted this morning! The line was rediculously long, I have a ??? Please respond if you know the answer..
If people have been standing in line since say for example, 5pm and the polls close at 7pm. Do the people who were already standing in line before closing time get to vote? or are they turned away as soon as the polling place closes???
@ Karissa.... ************ I heard about Virginia. they said on the news that the wait is 9 hours. the judge basically ignored the NAACP lawsuit that was filed to extend hours. Now look!! but they have to allow everyone in that line to vote. as long as they are there before 7 pm. they said food and water is on the way! hang in there Virginia. thanks for the updates Karissa. Wow! and we need Florida to be ok too. that is one of the battleground states ! _____ @Redbeanz and Rice.... you are misunderstanding the process and what you have read. your indivual votes makes up the electoral college based on your state.Similar to the same way that it does in the primary. The most important states are Ohio, and Florida. They are considereing battleground states and the voter are the key to him winning those electoral votes.
"Finally McCain Gets a Break John McCain has had a run of bad luck this year ranging from little public interest in foreign policy to the Wall St. meltdown just before the election. Finally, he is getting the ultimate gift a Republican could ask for: rain on election day. The forecast is rain and storm in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina. Rain lowers turnout and low turnout always helps Republicans as the people most discouraged from standing in the rain for hours are low-income voters. Whether this will be enough to swing those states is another matter though. They could be close. But turnout is crucial to determining who wins."

@ RedBeanzNRice
WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT??? YOU MUST BE YOUNG BECUZ YOUR VOTE DO COUNT. WHY U THINK BARACK STILL GOT MORE DELEGATES THEN HILLARY EVENTHOUGH SHE WON THE STATE OR THE CAUCUS??? CUZ HE FOCUS ON THOSE AREAS THAT WAS OVER THAT AND IN MOST CASES IT'S URBAN AREAS WHERE U CAN GET THE MOST DELEGATES FROM. SO WHEN TALKING ELECTORAL YOUR VOTE DO COUNT. THEY'RE NOT GOING AGAINST THE PPL IN THIS ELECTION. PLUS I BEEN VOTING SINCE I WAS 18 YOUR VOTE DOES COUNT.
It have never seen so many people out to vote @ my precinct. I got to the polls @ 0645. There were at least 250 people in front of me, but was orderly and went smooth. It was funny watching the expressions as people walked into the building to see the line wrapped around the hall and into the gym. I saw first time voters who couldn't have been more than 18 years old and elders who couldn't vote back in the day. I get "misty" thinking about how they must feel to go to the polls in Mississippi to Vote for A Black Man to be the Leader of the Free World! It's A Wonderful Day! WIN or Lose, I know Our Ancestors Are Having a Party right about now!!! We're in it to WIN IT!!! Obama 2008!
@ LovelyLibra01 Flag post I voted this morning! The line was rediculously long, I have a ??? Please respond if you know the answer..
If people have been standing in line since say for example, 5pm and the polls close at 7pm. Do the people who were already standing in line before closing time get to vote? or are they turned away as soon as the polling place closes??? -------------------------- IF U GET IN LINE AT 6:55PM AND THE POLL CLOSE AT 7PM THEY MUST LET U VOTE. EVEN IF IT'S ANOTHER 3 TO 4 HOURS. STAY THERE AND VOTE.
@ DaisyDooks
TEACH!!!!! CUZ ME AND MY FRIEND BACK IN DETROIT WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING WHEN HE CALLED. TALKING ABOUT THIS THAT'S GOING ON IS ALREADY PASSED. OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT. GOD HAS MADE HIM FROM DAY ONE TO PREPARE FOR THIS RUN. WHY PPL THINK GOD ALLOWED HIM TO BE BORN OF A WHITE MOTHER AND NOT JUST A BLACK MAN BUT A FULL BLOODED AFRICAN BLACK MAN WITH NO CONNECTIONS OF BEING A SLAVE, BUT A MOTHER WHO MAY HAD FOREFATHERS THAT WERE SLAVE MASTERS. HE KNOWS BOTH SIDES OF THE WORLD. PPL NEED TO THINK BACK AT ALL THE ELECTIONS. IT WAS ALWAYS A "OCTOBER SURPRISE" SOMETHING THAT WILL KILL THE PRESIDENT WANNABE CHANCES, BUT WITH HIM GOD MADE IT SO HE WOULDN'T HAVE NOTHING IN HIS BACKGROUND TO DIG. SO WHAT THEY TRY TO DO, WHAT WHITE PPL DO BEST, TALK ABOUT HIS CHARACTER AND TRIED TO INSTILL FEAR OF A BLACKMAN INTO THE AMERICAN PPL BUT SADLY IT DIDN'T WORK. LASTLY WITHOUT GETTING DEEP CUZ I CAN GO FURTHER. OBAMA IS HERE TO AWAKING THE SLEEPING DNA THAT'S IN US AND TO UNITE THIS WORLD.
Everyone plz vote today. I know the lines are crazy but it's not everyday you have to stand outside for hours to vote. This one day is and our last chance to make change. And for those voting for the 1st time, I am extremely proud of you. I voted for the 1st time myself early this morning and it felt really good to know I am apart of history.
stormzoe, did I read that right, you said a number of your friends are voting for that one over there? Wow, I've tried and tried, I've listened to both of "them, over there", and nothing they say benefits, neither me, family, nor friends, and besides that, everyone in generations on back have been democrat, so I'LL NEVER VOTE for a repubic, I wouldn't care who was their candidate, and there's too many flaws in the repubic's characters. To each his own, but I'll never understand your friends' logic.

THANKS, PPL JUST NEED TO REALIZE HIS LAST HURDLE TO OVERCOME AND TO SEAL HIS DETIRMINATION TO LEAD AND MAKE CHANGE WAS HIS "TOOT" DYING THE DAY BEFORE. GOD SET THAT UP LIKE THAT ON PURPOSE. HE WAS MADE ABLE TO GO SEE HER AND SHE KNEW WHO HE WAS AND WAS AWARE OF THE PPL AROUND HER. BUT GOD WAS LIKE SHE BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR NOW IT'S YOUR TIME TO STEP ACROSS INTO THIS NEW BEGINNING ON YOUR OWN. NOW SHE'S ALLOWING HIM TO STAY FOCUS AND DO HIS. COME ON PPL IF U HAVEN'T DONE SO YET GET OFF OF HERE AND GO BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!
I was at the polls at 7am PST. Of course there was already a line wrapped around the building. Of course it was like 6 black people and the rest were the conservative whites in my neighborhood. Why can't we be at the polls standing in line when they open? I know a lot of non-black people are voting for Obama but it would have been nice if we all could have rallied together for a moment or two this morning before going to work. We wear the T-Shirt but do we wear the conviction?
And why were the police at the polls? Not to keep the peace. Of course not. They were there to give tickets to all the non-regsitered vehicles. Pulling over black people and asking for license and insurance, etc.
They are doing whatever they feel they need to in order to keep that Black Man out of office.
The last thing we need to do tonight is act ignorant. I am excited if he wins and saddened deeply if he loses but either way it goes I am not going to party, get drunk, drive home, and get arrested becuase that is what they expect us all to do.
Lets be intelligent w/ this triumph. We are already too vocal w/ our intentions so "they" know what we are planning to do before we even do it. Praise in silence. Watch it at home w/ your family and friends. Sit and talk to your grandfather and ask him how much this means to him. He may have fought in a war or two for this very moment.
For once lets use this MTO for good and get the word out. Law enforcement has approved overtime all over the US because of this election. Don't embarrass yourselves or Obama. All things in decency and order.
OBAMA '08!!!!

I MUST SAY THAT I AM VERY PROUD THAT MOSTLY EVERYONE IN HERE IS UNITED AND GETTING ALONG. THATS A GOOD SIGN...EVEN THOUGH SOME OF OUR VIEWS AND OPINIONS VARY, WE'VE SHOWN A GREAT DEAL OF RESPECT TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER. NOW THERE ARE A FEW NEGATIVE PESSIMISTICS IN HERE THAT WANT TO SPEAD THEIR NEGATIVITY ON US BUT I BELEIVE WE CAN SHOW THEM THAT WE WILL NOT BE MOVED. PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
AND FOR THE RECORD...IF I DIDNT KNOW WHAT COLOR OBAMA OR MCCAIN WAS...JUST BASED ON CHARACTER, BELIEFS AND CAMPAIGN TACTICS I STILL WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR OBAMA...IM JUST PROUD THAT HE IS A BLACK MAN.
I VOTED AND NOW I PRAY...FOR US ALL. THANKS YOU ALL FOR BEING IN HERE CIVILIZED AND BEING OUR TRUE SELVES. IM SO PROUD OF EVERYBODY FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY...AND IN CLOSING IF I HAVE NEVER TOLD Y'ALL BEFORE...I TRULY LOVE MY PEOPLE...EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE LOST.
PEACE & BLESSING
BARACK ON!!!!
@ TexasGlamourChic -

I've been up since 3am, I was at my polling place at 6am on the dot! There was a line and only one machine, seemded crazy to have only one machine when record numbers of voters were expected to turn out. All the poll workers (old white women) all said they had never seen a line. One said in the 10 years she's been working the polls there had NEVER been a line. I'm so proud to be a part of this HISTORICAL vote. BARACK the VOTE!!! 2008
PLEASE GET OUT THERE BARACK YO VOTE. YOUR VOICE WILL BE HEARD!!!!!

Subject: FW: NOVEMBER 5TH ETIQUETTE
Good Afternoon My People -
After watching the final debate the other night, it dawned on me that Obama could actually win this thing. If that happens, there will be a lot of people (some of our co-workers
included) who will be afraid that an Obama presidency will usher in the end of days. They'll be watching us on November 5th (the day after the election) for signs of the end times.
To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I think we should develop a list of acceptable celebrations and behaviors we should probably avoid - at least for the first few days:
1. No crying, hugging or shouting "Thank you Lord" - at least not in public
2 No high-fives - at least not unless the area is clear and there are no witnesses
3 No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters
4 No calling in sick on November 5th. They'll get nervous if too many of us don't show up.
5 We're allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in passing. Just try to keep from grinning too hard.
6. No singing loudly, We've come this Far By Faith (it will be acceptable to hum softly)
7. No bringing of barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the company lunchroom for at least a week (no chittlings at all) (this may make us seem to ethnic)
8. No leaving kool-aid packages at the water fountain (this might be a sign that poor folks might be getting a break through)
9. No Cupid Shuffle during breaks (this could indicate a little too much excitement)
10. Please no Moving on Up music (we are going to try to remain humble)
11. No doing the George Jefferson dance (unless you're in your office with the door closed)
12. Please try not to yell----BOOOO YAH!
13. Just in case you're wondering, Doing the Running Man, cabbage patch, or a backhand spring on the highway is 100% okay.
If I've missed anything feel free to add to the list. I just want to make sure we're all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home on November 5th.
Now go get your early vote on and let's make this thing happen!!!

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! And in response to what someone said...No I won't feel like a fool if Obama loses, I'll feel like I went out and made my voice heard regardless. I'll feel proud and productive. I will feel like I took my place in an historical event instead of backing down in defeat before even giving it a chance to become a reality. I had to go out and support that man because he represents me well and I appreciate him for that and I want him to feel that. The least I could do was vote. Imagine if no one went to vote because they felt the way you did...we would look like fools. Not taking advantage of the right our ancestors have shed blood for in the first place. Let whats gonna happen happen but at least I know I did my part.
Much Respect to anyone who voted today!!
Keep Hope in your heart ;0)
@ REDBEANSANDRICE PLEASE PLEASE STOP BEING SOO NEGATIVE! LETS BE POSITIVE AND NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRY AND DO ITS WONT WORK THIS TIME. YOU MAY NOT KNOW BUT MAY BE DISCOURAGING PEOPLE THAT HAD NOT VOTED YET NOT TO VOTE..SO COULD YOU PLEASE STOP AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS AND YOURSELF TO GET OUT IN VOTE...CAUSE THIS TIME AROUND IT WILL COUNT!!!!
OBAMA YA'LL !!!

LMBAO @Sonyag85-I love your post. Thais so unreal,but feels beautiful. I know it ain't over till it's over,but just the idea of true hope feels new. I don't know what the future holds,but if Obama wins(and it's looking that way),the African American community may not be lost after all. WOW!!!!! We must remember to make our people proud and not allow all of this hard work to be in vain. OBAMA 08'

Attempted Sabotage Foiled in Florida! Posted Nov 4th 2008 12:00PM by TM.Z Staff
So, check this out. Deerfield Beach, Fla. is one hour south of Palm Beach. Nearly 400 people were planted firmly in line at 6:15 this morning, waiting for the polls to open at 7:00 AM. There is one voting machine to accommodate all of them.
The area almost entirely African American. Many of the people never have voted before. One woman was 101 years old. She was wheeled into the polling place and on her way out she said that before she died, she wanted to vote for a black man.
Election monitors noticed a man in line who appeared to be a voter. Turns out he was a saboteur, telling people the Democrats were supposed to vote at a different location.
Some of the voters said they were robocalled last night. The message -- Democrats weren't supposed to vote until Wednesday.
UPDATE -- Election officials just delivered seven more voting machines.
OBAMA FOR YO MAMA!!!!!!!

Even if your polls are about to close, as long as you can get in line before end time you can VOTE! Even if you need a ride to the polls, call someone, a cab, take a bus ride a bike and VOTE! Even if you have your kids, take them with you and VOTE!
If you know someone who hasnt voted, call text, them and remind them to VOTE!
If you know someone in OHIO waiting in a long line, encourage them to stay there and VOTE!!
Make your voice heard!! Don't give up without a fight!
