What would you do without me? 

Indeed.

Pardon the twitter lingo, but here are some turnout anecdotes I'm reading about on twitter. These are just anecdotes, and VERY early ones at that (it's still just 10 AM in Wisconsin).

RT @CynicusPrime: Don't worry. All the Walker voters are still at work. ;-) MT @jason_manc Slightly concerned by Dem turnout anecdotes

RT @biggovt: Long Lines as Recall Voting Begins in Heavily Democratic Milwaukee: As polls opened this morning for #WIrecall http://t.co/zsG6fr6E

Jesus... I used to live in Tweet 1... If that's true, that is farking huge... and really bad news for Barrett. Of course, it sounds like everyone over 18 in the state plans on voting today.

No I idea on the number of students that decided to stay back. Hopefully the number goes up as the day goes on.

Dane County could get to 80% to 88%! Add this with the huge turn out in Milwaukee and the Milwaukee suburbs and we could be approaching 2008 levels. 

Wouldn't students not be registered in WI but their home state?

More likely their home town... most UW-System (even UW-Madison) students are Wisconsinites.

According to EARLY exits, 13% of the electorate is made up of 18-29 yr olds. It was 15% in 2010.

That's actually a little better than I would have thought. Obviously, Democrats can't depend on young people for a win in this one though.

Don't trust early exit polls overall... really don't trust internals of early exit polls. They're pretty much worthless.
