When I voted about 4:00, 474 had chosen the Republican ballot in my precinct (74%), 169 Democrat.  Considering 79% voted for Bush in my precinct, that's not bad for the Democrats.  Assuming turnout is higher than average in black areas, the Democrats may have more voters today in Georgia. 

Where?  I presume the Dems are white - upper income or lower income?

This is virtually all-white suburban area north of Atlanta (Forsyth County), massive growth in the last few decades.  No one is a native here.  Middle income mostly (by national standards) in my part of the county, although above-average by Georgia standards.

If it's Forsyth, upscale white.  My old girlfriend's family was from there.

Ever hear of Bill Miller?

By Georgia standards, it is upscale.  I just hesitate to identify myself as such.

I can't think of a Bill Miller, but I've been here only since 12/06.

If it's town/city of Forsyth, James C. Miller, III (sorry about "Bill") is one of your more famous ex-citizens.

If there is a city in Georgia with the same name as a county in Georgia, chances are they are nowhere near each other. For example, the city of Forsyth is almost a hundred miles away from the county of the same name.

it is now time for exit polls and rumors of exit polls to flood the airwaves.

Seriously, I should probably go out and enjoy Mardi Gras this evening.

They aren't the same place, but both are in the greater Atlanta area.  That's why I was asking which.

It could be icy/slushy in DC and Maryland, but nothing significant. Western and Northwestern Virginia might get a punch but thats about it. These three states can handle wintry weather like this, unlike South Carolina a couple weeks ago.
