2. America Improving? Try a country on the brink of economic disaster
mark my word this election is LIFE and DEATH for the life
of our economic existence in the world.

the top 3 don't have a clue how to get our financial problems under control.

i wish the dems had a strong financial leader but I don't see it.

10. I was literally shocked at the number of young voters tonight -
but shocked in a good way (not results-wise, but simply in terms of how the future of this country bodes)...

11. At my location, they had 500 index cards ready,
thinking it would be more than enough, then had to scramble for more!!

Eventual number of voters - 555!

15. 363 at my precinct,
180 in 2004, more than doubled the number. And I live in a GOP precinct. Amazing.
