A friend of mine -- who has never before cast a ballot for a Democrat in the four presidential elections in which he has voted -- sends in the following pictures from Jersey City:

He stood in line for 2.5 hours before finally casting his ballot...for Barack Obama. He says he has a message for Obama: "This better be good. Don't break my heart."
Thanks man. And I don't think he will. I don't think we will.
