Thanks for the info, jcar. I didn't realize Obama was campaigning today as well.

I have seen one set of Obama volunteers walking around the neighborhood. They haven't knocked on my door yet, but regardless....I'm off to vote!!! I'm so excited!!

I'll check back in here when I get home.

Thanks GGL :D I enjoyed your input alot. Have fun voting. I miss the lines and excitement of the polling place. The link to the watching history from the porch was very moving. I know my dad and all of my family is excited for this day. My brother is having an election party so we can watch the results tonight. Unfortunately my mom is too ill to be aware of this historic event

Again, it was a pleasure posting with you all :D

UCLAN :D I did it!! Cast my vote for Barack Obama and it was quick. No waiting - I was in and out in 30 minutes. :D:D I'M SO EXCITED!!

I wish my Mother Dear could be here to see this. She passed a couple years ago and I miss her everyday. I just know that she would have been absolutely thrilled to vote for Obama. I believe that she was right there with me in the voting booth, standing beside me with a smile on her face.

No waiting and it took 30 minutes? I was in and out in about 2 minutes. Didn't have to show ID - just had to sign 2 forms and put my street address on one of them. There was no one in front of me and there were 4 voting machines with almost no one there. I'm reading lots of reports about problems with voting machines, paper ballots and every other thing you can think of including voter suppression, especially (of course) in the battleground states. :angry:

I live in a small town and was able to walk in and walk out in two minutes. I stood there in the booth and let the significance of the moment really hit me. How amazing it was that I could vote for either a black man or a woman as President or Vice-President respectively. We are making history today. I am so proud right now to be American.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
