That's long considering I had no wait last time. I have to say the poll workers were over whelmed, and the workers were considerably older than Yoda. They got it togother a little later, and I kinda feel guilty for not volunteering. I'm a die hard so I wake up at 6 and get to the polls at 6:15. Usually it's a bunch of middle aged white people. This year it was a huge mix! A lot of younger people, black people, and latinos, and they all had their voter registration cards present. If you are like me, you usually don't carry your card. I have my licence and sign my name. Talking to people in line they were so afraid of not being able to vote so they brought every form of identification. They wanted to be part of history. I walked away with such a great feeling. There was an energy I can't describe. It's cliche know, but it's true I live in North Buffalo, about a 45 minute wait at 6:15ish!

I was in and out. Which was surprising considering how much the media have been talking up turnout check out this clip from newsy.com http://www.newsy.com/videos/daily_political_rundown_november_4_2008/ i was expecting a longer line as well, almost hoping for it because it would somehow make for a romantic story but the line was short for me as well.

This election can change the mindset of the entire country and could have an effect for years to come. Most people don't think of it in this way. It's very surprising. And either way you decide, you will at least be aware and understand the unspoken implications.
