It is already starting...
So I suppose all you lefties are going to argue that this is some sort of coincidence. As if.

In my district are several registered child molesters. Please do not infer anything about me based on that.

Very coy greenmantim. What is the relationship between those child molesters and yourself? What is the relationship between Obama and Ayers/Farrakhan/[fill in the blank]?

Quiet seems to be the only person who realizes I was joking. Nice one-liner, too. I wish I'd thought of it.

TH, not true. My comment was very funny, IF you employ a Buckley-ian voice.

Why aren't you conservatives who value freedom out fighting for people's right to vote:
Election monitors call for extension of VA voting hours

An election monitoring group is asking officials in Virginia to address reports of massive voting machine failures and voters being turned away from polls, and it may go to court if no action is taken.
Election Protection, a nonprofit group aimed at cataloging and correcting problems at the polls, says it has received more than 27,000 calls from voters since 5 a.m. Tuesday. Most problems have been reported in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey and Florida, representatives of the group said.
"We don’t want to be chicken little here,” said Jonah Goldman, who directs the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Campaign for Fair Elections. "What we’re trying to do is report what we’re seeing out in the field. Unfortunately this is what we expected.”
During a press conference Tuesday morning, group representatives said they were asking election officials in Virginia to extend voting by two hours. The group also wants election to ensure that paper ballots are available in precincts where electronic voting machines break down.
If elections officials fail to act, the group could file a lawsuit in federal court, but it hopes to avoid that option.
"We understand that litigation is a last and imperfect option," Goldberg said. "Our first priority is to try to solve these problems collectively.”
The group hopes voters are not discouraged by long lines or other problems throughout the day Tuesday. Federal law allows voters who are in line at precincts before polls close to cast regular ballots.
If courts decide to extend voting hours, people who arrive at polling places after the polls would have closed have to cast provisional ballots.
Observers worry that voters in some areas are being given provisional ballots, instead of regular paper ballots. This creates the potential for disenfranchisement and complicates the process because provisional ballots are not counted along with the rest of the election results.
