Election Day 2012

It's Election Day, a day that will help set the course for the nation.

Voting turnout has been heavy, at least here in my small home town, with one of the selectmen telling me voting has been heavy since the polls opened at 7 this morning. The New Hampshire Secretary of State is expecting a 70 to 80 percent voter turnout.

One worry we don't have here in New Hampshire is issues with voter fraud as this state requires proper ID in order to vote. That can't be said of some other states where voters have found that someone else voted in their place and others have voted more than once.

In Wisconsin taxpayer-funded vehicles were used to transport Democrat voters to the polls. You know if it had been GOP voters the media would have been all over the story.

And then there are illiterate poll workers who obviously can't spell trying to prevent someone from voting because of her tee-shirt.

One thing I found irritating last night was ABC's World News all but calling the election for Obama hours before polls opened in those states without early voting. Can they possibly make it any more obvious that they're in the tank for Obama?

More than a few people have wondered whether this election is a repeat of the 1980 election, where polls showed the race too close to call or slightly in favor of James Earl Carter, only to have Ronald Reagan defeat him by almost 10 points, carrying 44 states and receiving 489 electoral votes.

Now it's all about the waiting. Either we will have a new president, or we will have to endure another 4 years of a not-so-closeted socialist working hard to dismantle American and turn it into another failed socialist state.
