Encouraging news:
Looks like generally more Democrats are early-voting than Republicans.
Obviously early-voters do not an election make, and there's no rule that says you've gotta vote your party affiliation, and there's certainly still an opportunity for voting machine shenanigans by the good people at Diebold (or whatever it's called now), but it's nice to feel excited about the future for the first time in a long time.
I guess there's still the possibility of the oft-mentioned "October Surprise," but IT'S TOO LATE, 'cause I voted TWO WEEKS AGO. And my hardened, drunk the Kool Aid 'Publican friends are terrified that Obama's gonna take their "hard-earned" money away and give it to poor black people (they'll even take a smaller tax cut under McCain if it means poorer folks will still be worse off than they are).
