It's 7:50 p.m. California Time: I say Obama Wins!

It's way to early to know for sure, but I feel like history is being made tonight.

So far, I don't know who will get Florida. If Obama gets it's 27 votes the race is won. California and the West Coast will take him over the top!

It's going to be close, but Obama will win!

You heard it here...

RECORD NUMBER OF VOTERS EXPECTED TO TURN OUT TODAY!

The day has finally arrived. Now it's time to put up, or shut up. Get out there and vote. This is an historical election and we need to have as many Americans as possible voting. Let's hope we don't end up with a tight Electoral College victory like the last two elections.

Voting problems have already surfaced this morning along the Eastern seaboard and Mid-Atlantic states.

People are already experiencing long waiting lines of up to several hours. My wife and I got to the local polling place when it opened at 7 a.m. this morning, and there were only about 10 people there. We were in and out in less than 15 minutes!

Graffiti Art Stretches Across America's Ghettos...

              

       

     

Graffiti Art is really an expression of pride among many of the gang-bangers and taggers. In the world of art this form of self expression tells a story. I've seen this art form evolve from the days I lived in the barrios (50's & early 60s), until the present, and it has become considerably richer in form and detail. I'm often amazed how talented these ghetto artists really are. Many of them go on to be professional tattoo artists and their style is much sought after by tattoo enthusiasts. It's easy to see why, as the free forms flow across the walls of barrios and alleys from East LA to Bangor, Maine.

Prayers Go Up for Both Parties the Day Before Election

Americans everywhere today are praying for their party as the candidates scoot about the states in a last-minute campaigning frenzy. In less than 24 hours all of the mudslinging will stop as one candidate celebrates victory and the other goes down in the agony of defeat.

I'm so ready for this circus to end! Just think, then we'll all be able to look at what else is happening in the world...
