My wife and I arrived 20 minutes early to our polling place this morning and found something I've never seen before: a line! And a long one at that. I am always one of the first voters in my precinct and rarely is there more than one or two others voting at this hour. For years, the precinct captain and I would bemoan the lack of participation in this most crucial element of democracy. Today when she walked out of the polling room and saw the long line of anxious voters, her eyes welled up. There were many new faces and incredible energy in that line.

Something big is about to happen.
