Complacency? Low turnout in DC. [with poll]

This is just going to be a short diary. I voted (for Obama) in DC this morning, and although I was there a few minutes after the morning rush hour, I was amazed at how empty the place was.

I asked one of the poll clerks, and he said that turnout had been "so-so, so far."

How quickly was I in and out? So fast that the same new Cheryl Crow song that was on the radio when I parked my car was still on when I got back in to drive away.

So DC/MD/VA Kossacks, get out there and vote!

If you presume the result is a foregone conclusion, it won't be!
