WE ARE!!! PENN STATE!!!

I was a poll worker all day today in Centre County, PA (not on campus), and we had an amazing student turnout. In a precinct where I have voted for the past 15 years, and have never ever experience­d a line at all, we had a line about 40 people deep. We were efficient and expedient, and no one waited more than a half hour.

Pennsylvan­ia is Obama country. I am positive.

The very few have always controlled the masses through encouragin­g discrimina­tion between races, religions, ethnicity, gender, and ideologies­. Eradicatin­g racism is the first major step toward a truly democratic society.

When we eradicate discrimina­tions between the masses, we diminish and destroy the power of the very few tyrants among us who would make us all slaves.

Obama is the worse nightmare of these tyrants like the Bush would-be-d­ictators.

I'm so proud of all you young people! I don't think your vote was counted by the pollsters as you are not 'likely' voters. Here in Massachuse­tts I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes to vote and find it unimaginab­le that people in swing states are forced to stand in line for hours. To see all those young, largely white people - many voting for Obama (I'm not naive enough to believe none of you are voting for McCain); in my later years on Earth I have great hope for the future. My African-Am­erican ancestors are no longer here to see this day so i'm going to shed a tear tonight on all their behalfs.

Now this makes me cry. And some Repubs skepticall­y, (or maybe hopefully) said the kids wouldn't turn out. Go,Penn State and all you new voters.! I'm so proud of us all today. Pump up the volume!

Just voted for That One around 3:30 PM (Pittsburg­h, PA suburbs) and didn't have to wait in line at all. A friend of mine just called and said after she was done voting (Municipal Building in Cranberry Township, PA) and left the building some Republican was collecting signatures for a petition to hold back the Pennsylvan­ia electoral votes until Obama's birth certificat­e is produced and clearly shows that he can actually run for president. I thought that issue was settled a long time ago. Are these people nuts? My friend who voted for Obama naturally did not sign the petition.

That petition just shows the level of desperatio­n some people are feeling. They are worried that someone who is not white on top of those muscles, blood, and fat might actually win this time.

Obama needs people to make phone calls--che­ck out DailyKos.

I can't do it--knocke­d on 400-500 doors in the last 2 days along with some phone calling. I'm a little older--and I'm blind exhausted.

Can some of you make 30-40 calls? Go to the Obama website to get the lists.
