I voted Mostly Republican- and a couple of Independents and Tea Partiers, most likely. Can't wait to get Strickland out of Ohio. Jeepers Creepers.

Hey, I'm a Buckeye, too (used to be a Badger, though).
Although I like Kasich better and will vote for him tomorrow, I didn't think Strickland was much worse than the Repub that came before him.
how Strickland keeps blaming Kasich for Ohio's problems when Kasich hasn't been in office for... what- 10 years?
Agree that Taft wasn't much better than Strickland, but he was better.
I'm a transplanted Buckeye too- I used to be a Mountaineer.
actually i voted about a week ago… early voting is great.
I thought about voting early, but I enjoy the whole Election Day experience. Especially since people keep telling me I look just like Sarah Palin- last Presidential I dressed as much like her as possible and stood in line waving at people and freaking them out. It was a hoot.
Around here, just waving at people you don't know is enough to freak them out. I said "hello" to someone on the sidewalk last night a couple I haven't met but have seen around - their eyes just about bugged out of their heads.
Hope the results at the polls match the results here.

You must be on the East Coast- I saw the same thing when visiting my husband's (then boyfriend) family in New Jersey for the first time. I'm smiling and making eye contact and saying "Hello" like a good Southern girl, and the native population didn't respond very well.
But then the opposite happened when Ken came home with me to WV- he commented that we must be close to my house because people were waving at us as we drove by- and we were still an hour away. So then he's wondering how I could possibly know all those people... oh the fun of blending two cultures 
.
I'm going to vote after breakfast and at least two more cups of coffee- this is not a task that one can accomplish without some protein, carbs, and copious amounts of caffeine.
I voted mostly "R." I did vote for one dem on the county board - I know him well and he has been doing a good job. I almost voted for the libertarian for comptroller b/c our other one is probably pretty corrupt. But this is illinois. Those of you in other states may think the politics is bad in your state, but I have lived in 4 states...nothing compares to it...the truth is far worse than the rumors,

Of course, for WV natives, not only would most people know you, they would also likely be relatives!
A History of the Varneys in Pike and Mingo Counties and Elsewhere by Nancy Jane Varney c) 1936, if you are a Varney, then I'm related to you- and WV is practically soaked in Varneys. I can also list amongst my ancestors "Devil Anse" Hatfield and several other of the Hatfield clan. No surprise, there, right?
Fun Fact: Sarah Palin and I have a common ancestor who came over on the Mayflower.
I voted on 10/2

I always cast an early ballot least unforeseen circumstances keep me from voting on election day. However, I generally wait until the last week to ten days before election day to cast my vote to make sure there is no late breaking information that comes along after I have mailed my ballot which might cause me to reconsider a person or position.
