    Default NH turnout "absolutely huge," supplies of Democratic ballots are "running low"

    Could be turning into a major blow out of clinton.

    Here's to praying that Edwards comes in second




    MSNBC just reported that "the NH Secretary of State's office is in the process of locating extra ballots to ship to towns that expressed concerns that supplies are running low. Concern is primarily on the Democratic side."

    It's only 1:00 PM and towns are already worried about running low on ballots. Wow.

    ABC has a report that turnout is "absolutely huge":

    ABC News' Karen Travers Reports: New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan told ABC News that turnout among primary voters today is "absolutely huge" -- and there are concerns about running out of ballots in towns like Portsmouth, Keene, Hudson and Pelham.

    "Turnout is absolutely huge and towns are starting to get concerned that they may not have enough ballots," Scanlan said. "We are working on those issues. Everything else seems to be going smoothly."

    Has the primary already started? How could they know the turnout if the primary election hasn't even begun?

    guys in my office that live in NH went this am. said waited in line for 30min plus even at 6am.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    How many times can you say "running out of ballots" in the same post?

    Anyhow, I don't think this is what Hillary wanted to see is it?

    that's because southerners are fat and lazy.

    I nearly always vote before work. It's always the shortest lines.

    Everyone who has won both in Iowa and NH has gone on to become the nominee.

    Obama is going to win BIG in NH.

    I literally did not know they kept the polls open all day. I, my dad, and my entire family, have always gone to vote at around 7 PM, 5 PM at earliest. I thought they opened at like 4 PM. Hell, maybe they do in Mississippi...

    Down south, they robo-call black people to tell them that voting is on Wednesday.
