Ahh the sweet smell of victory, even if it is before the win.
So I got up this morning excited with anticipation of a possible win for my candidate. I was also hoping for something else, a clear sign from the left. As I was walking to my polling place at 7:30 am there seemed to be many people walking by with the "I voted" sticker, which shocked me at this time in the morning. As I walked into the polling place there were lines of people voting furiously. I casually remarked to the staff on turn out and they very quickly stated that they had already seen much more of a turn out than they expected. I took a look at the stacks of ballots and that is what told the real story. They were almost out of democratic ballots while the republican ballots looked as if they had not been touched.
Perhaps I live in a particularly blue area, but the town of Fresno leans pretty heavily to the right from what I have seen. So from what I have seen today I am encouraged that the democratic turnout will shame the republicans comparatively and maybe, just maybe we will have Obama winning California.
