Got an email from AMERICAblog reader CS in New Hampshire:
All at Americablog,Joe has already noted that both Obama and McCain are counting on independents. If more independents move to Obama then they won't be able to vote for McCain, which could hurt his chances. That's why this is important.
My wife and I are NH residents and registered independents (or undeclared as the state calls it) and went to vote at 7am in Nashua. There was no line per-say, but there was a lot of activity. People going in and out...exit pollster (complete with media logos) handing out clipboards with surveys...Obama and Hillary supporters with signs at the school parking lot entrance. There were lots of Edwards signs out on the street. The only evidence of republicans was a single Ron Paul sign across the street.
When I want to pick up my ballot, I saw a lot of names in the book with "UND" crossed out and "DEM" written in its place. Anecdotally, this indicated a lot of independents breaking for the dems, probably for Obama. McCain just held a big rally here yesterday, but there was no evidence of it now.
Just thought you might want this piece of info.
