Incredibly long line here at the Kmart in North Alabama. It's only 347am and people are lined up, wrapping around the building.—

Many shoppers are hoping to score an inexpensive television set or tablet.
Bargain shoppers started lining up at midnight at the Kmart in McIntyre Square. All tell me they are buying tv's. http://t.co/FixdzGiB—
