This cool site, sayhear.org has offered up four numbers to call in, one for each party (sorry, it’s only Republican, Democrat, 3rd Party) and one for non-voters.  Folks are anonymously calling in and leaving a simple message that we can listen in on.  It is unbelievably enlightening to hear what chords have struck with other voters in other parts of the country.

For every bitter non-voter there is a passionate voter.  For every passionate voter there are ones voting out of fear.  It is just amazing to listen to this as it feel almost like voyeurism.  I hear anywhere.

Josh Spear says it best when he says “think twitter + politics + audio.”  The site is as addicting as it is comforting because at the end of today (assuming no court controversies ala 2000) we’ll have to reach across the aisles, across states and across streets.  The site affirms we are all just people who like to get excited about ideas.  And after an ugly slugfest, it is good to know that in this anonymous site, some honesty and reality still exists.

If you could extrapolate this into an exit poll, Obama is winning by a 7 to 1 margin at 4:30 PM on the east coast.
