Huge (and young) turnout in Arizona

SDAI, you must not have seen what I saw at the polls this morning here in the Phoenix valley. At my normally desserted polling place at 6:00 in the morning, was an hour and a half line of very young people. I live in an area where the normal voter is elderly and conservative. That wasn't the makeup I saw this morning. The phenomena seems to be common throughout the country.

All along in this campaign it's been pretty well agreed on that a huge turnout favors the challenger. It generally indicates a disgust with the status quo. I was more than willing to concede Arizona to Bush but now, I'm not so sure.

Don't count all your chickens yet.
