If Only We Could Vote Tomorrow (And Some of Us Can)

Check out this article about how much of an effect black voter registration is having and could potentially have in Deep Red states like Georgia.

Quote: "Early voting is underway in Georgia, and according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, black voters do not represent 30 percent of Georgia's early voter turnout. Instead, they represent almost 40 percent. Although early voting figures can be idiosyncratic , Barack Obama certainly seems to be having little trouble getting his vote out. Indeed, Barack Obama is winning Georgia right now."

Granted, this is early voting and very early indeed. But these are the first signs that this election will be starkly different from any other we've seen before. As if I had to tell you that.
