I've been observing all the hoopla and wondered: are there any women in the secret service. We always and only see the watchful and everpresent men in dark suits ...but there has to be more Secret Service who are not so visible. Or is that the "secret" part?

I'm really enjoying Soledad O'Brien's coverage today. She's authentic, direct, and hasn't missed a beat. Great job!

I'm a little confused with Election process....THere are several times zones across the US...so therefore polls are closing at the same time, but appear to close at different times across times zones.....I'm wondering, what's to stop votes in the East from making known results of polling to voters in the west (who are in a different time zone) and therefore skewing the election results??????

How can I see the state by state results of the early voters. Why are they not being reported along with todays votes at least in parenthesis so we can get a more realistic idea of the count. This is the very reason I did not vote early.

I HAVE A QUESTION CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THE ELECTORIAL PROCESS. How are they selected if they cannot be a member of congress or the house. What process they use in casting their vote. By the popular vote of the state they represent or do they choose whoever they feel is right . What guidelines do they have!

How is it that CNN can project the winner of a state when only 10 o/o or 15 o/o of the votes have been tallied???

I really don't understand why third-party candidates are running. It may seem insensitive, but the lack of visuals and the lack of advertisement of the campaigns has not been in their favor... maybe these candidates would have a shot if they had made more of a name or made a bigger impact earlier on in this election. Most of the candidates had been campaigning for the past two years, and I think that if someone really wants to be president he or she will do what ever is needed to get noticed and to be able to have an actual impact on the election.
