I just voted in New Hampshire . . . . ****HUGH**** turnout.

I'm series! Miles-long traffic jam in town leading to the elementary school at which we vote. Loooong lines of people registering to vote for the first time. A collective gathering of New Hampshire voters washing George W. Bush out of our hair.

This is what democracy looks like.

4. Also . . .

I think it portends great things for your candidate. I am sensing McCain on the other side, we will see soon enough!

11. Obama & McCain have the most buzz here.

I hope Edwards has a good showing, I sense Romney might be brokenhearted, we shall see!

34. Chambord!

It's been too long!

I've been indulging in Lambic though... Raspberry goodness works for Belgian ale as well as it does for wine!

Thanks for sharing the vote experience!

I experienced big lines too, though the lines I experienced were mostly due to Hillary visiting my polling station! See this post for my experience at the polling station -> http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=3992513&mesg_id=3992513
