Upon arriving at the Centreville precinct this morning in Fairfax County, there was a noticeable flow of people going into vote at 10 a.m. I was among those voting, and there seemed to be a lot of voters supporting Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, and Ken Cuccinelli. After leaving the polls, I asked the worker how many people had been in voting. The worker indicated that this has been one of the larger statewide voting efforts that he had ever witnessed for a Governor’s race.
After voting, I helped out the Republicans at the precinct handing out sample ballots. Again, I noticed the same trend with people refusing the Democrat sample ballot for the Republican one. One guy told me that he had always voted Democrat, but today would be his first time voting a straight Republican ticket. The economy was his pet peeve, and he did not think that the Democratic ticket had any concrete plans for addressing the budget issues.
If there is already this type of response, the Democrats are in for a big disappointment tonight.
