The CEO's are shaking in their boots right now. They are pinning their hopes on the older voters to get McCain in. Luckily some older voters also want change in America.

A lot of us chose to wait until today because we keep hearing all that crap about fraud, and whether or not the votes will actually count that were done early.

My son is a first time voter; my father is voting in what is probably his last election. They both voted the same way that I did.
