Long Lines, Everywhere
Already, Flickr folks are posting photos, and even this video, of long lines at the polls, all across Brooklyn. In Park Slope, the line stretched out even before the booths opened at 6AM. Bring coffee. Prepare to wait. Where did you vote? How long did it take? Any problems? Video by wnyc.
Sure, BRG. IronBalls, can you please throw out an expected date for your 10% unemployment figure so I can book Union Hall early this time?
The anti-Obama comments by certain posters are actually making me want him to win even more. I’m wondering if the extremism and outlandishness of some of the predictions of doom and gloom in the event of an Obama win are actually having the opposite effect on some by making them second guess their decision to vote for McCain.
Dave, you’re not a “staunch republican” and you know it.
That’s ridiculous. Obama is the “anti-republican” and there’s no denying it.
I’m no republican either, but why would a republican vote against everything the party stands for? It’s insane.
We both know this crap improving our country’s “standing in the world” is utter malarky.
Everybody always hates the top dog and they always will.
I vote on 8th Street in Park Slope. Took me exactly one hour – the line went from the entrance on 8th Street to the corner of 6th Avenue, up 6th Avenue and ended on the corner of 7th Street. I got in line at 9:35AM.
It could get to 10% easily, its already over 6% and whoever gets in, even if they are wearing a halo, will not be able to stop the recession momentum. Its a matter of how much they can ameliorate it.
I smell an ‘unemployment rate rises above 10%’ party in the works.
Biff, start planning!!
If I, as a staunch republican, believed all the hand wringing that capitalism would fall and corporations would be emaciated by this change in leadership do you think I’d be voting for Obama?
Get a grip you right wing morons. You listen to too much talk radio and I suspect that you yourselves have too little self esteem and drive to react to any form of change that this country needs from a public relations standpoint so dearly necessary in the eyes of the rest of the world. This is the opportunity to regain our world class position.
Did anyone hear about fliers that were being distributed in Red Hook telling Democrats to vote on Nov. 5th? A friend of Better Half actually saw one. That crap scares me.
Nokilissa,
When the the US unemployment rate rises above 10% due largely to Obama’s anti big businesses wealth shifting agenda you’ll understand where I’m coming from.
Dave, cobblehiller, Nokilissa, you’re scaring me. Ok, I’m back down to being very cautiously optimistic. I’ve thought about the potential glitches you’ve mentioned, but just have a good feeling that things will turn out well for the Dems.

Will I at least be able to get a nice sourdough loaf or doughy ciabatta?
