To add to Ilsa's daily round-up, I saw a couple interesting things on taxes this morning. The Washington Monthly has an interesting post about McCain and Barack's statements about taxation. I guess McCain described Obama's plan for a middle class tax cut at "welfare." The timing couldn't be better as Barack's giving an address today in St. Louis that highlights the difference between the two candidates' plans: "who we're cutting taxes for."
But this little tidbit is my favorite. Joe the Plumber admitted yesterday that he'd benefit more from Barack's tax plan.
Now, I'm off to vote!
UPDATE: The early voting site was packed! They had 10 machines going and a decent-sized line waiting for them to open up. Very cool, and well worth the wait to cast my vote.

DaveL, was yours a touch-screen voting system? That's what we had over here in the Fightin' 40th Ward, and I am curious as to whether that is the new standard.
I liked it. But wonder if those folks who are more comfortable with other forms of voting machine can ask for something else.
They were all electronic when I voted, too. But, there was a print out of the ballot that you could preview before submitting, which made me feel a little better about the whole thing. And, it was a good, clear, simple touch screen system. Generally, I choose the paper ballots, but I liked this touch screen.
