Brothers and Sisters, I went to five predominantly black precincts in Charlotte before noon this morning. At each of them, the voting was averaging 2-3 times the normal number of voters for that time of day.

At each precinct, the word was basically the same: a large number of young people are voting.

However, as one construction worker in his early 50s said to me “Brother Jones, I feel real good about my vote for Obama but if the brother wins in November, I am going to stay in my house a couple days to see how these folks are going to react before I come out!"
