First Lady Michelle Obama speaks during a campaign rally at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio on Monday.
CLEVELAND, OH – Shortly after casting her ballot for her husband, first lady Michelle Obama visited Ohio to encourage voters in this critical swing state to follow her lead and vote for the president before Election Day.
"I'm feeling pretty fired up and ready to go, because this morning, let me tell you what I did – I cast my ballot for Barack Obama," the first lady told a cheering crowd at Cuyahoga Community College. "It felt so good. Right now my absentee ballot is on its way to my hometown, Chicago. That means we are one vote closer to re-electing my husband."
Before taking off for Ohio on Monday, Obama tweeted that she had just dropped her absentee ballot in the mail, and President Obama followed shortly with a tweet announcing that he would be voting on October 25. He'll vote in person in Chicago, giving cameras a chance to get a photo-op of him casting his ballot, even though it will be nearly two weeks before most of the rest of the country votes.
Michelle Obama has been one of the campaign's chief advocates for mobilizing the Democratic base to vote early. Her campaign schedule has often been crafted to put her in swing states when early voting begins. Rallies – like an earlier event in Delaware, OH – end with transportation to a polling place. Like her husband, Michelle Obama has gotten to know Ohio well.
She was here on Oct. 2 when early voting began. After a rally in downtown Cincinnati, volunteers directed many of the 6,000 attendees to the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
On the stump, she calls early voting the campaign's "secret weapon."
From here, Michelle Obama heads to Chapel Hill, N.C. on Tuesday and to Wisconsin on Friday, both states that begin early voting this week.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Obama for America spokesperson Jen Psaki said they had a "superior" early voting effort compared with Mitt Romney's campaign. While both campaigns have pushed to bank votes before Nov. 6, Democrats have been most aggressive. In 2008, those who cast ballots before Election Day heavily favored Barack Obama.
"We want you all to vote early. We want you to think about voting early, whether it’s by mail, or in person, vote early,” she said. “Because if you vote early, then you can spend your time on election day getting everyone that you know out to vote."
From tramping through cornfields to munching ice cream cones to holding babies – the time-honored traditions of the campaign trail leave President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney looking surprisingly alike.

Michele Obama - the best secret weapon we have... lol
Shame the same can't be said for Queen Annie & her entitlement mind-set!
Sorry, bitch, contrary to popular belief, it is NOT your TURN!
GET OUT THE VOTE!!!
Michelle YOU are our "not so secret" weapon!
You go Michelle! Republicans are the "me" party, while the Obama/Biden ticket is there for all of us! A vote for republicans is a vote for the Koch brothers and Grover Norquist. Joe Biden is right! When it comes to Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, and Social Security, you should trust your gut, not the serpents, Romney and Ryan!
Popcorn is kicking in I see.
Michelle
For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd today.
such a classy american yup you betcha .
I am wary of anyone who wants people to vote before all of the debates and such have occurred.
sreeeeminglib
Michelle YOU are our "not so secret" weapon!
Wanna bet?
Fifty-two percent of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll see Ann Romney favorably, vs. 69 percent for Michelle Obama, a 17-point edge for the first lady. Still, favorable views of Romney have gained 12 points since April, while views of Obama are unchanged.

There is no way in hell that crazy horse dancing bitch is, Ann Romney is ever gonna lead her husband to the White House. Especially, after all the vile things she has said about people whom she feels are beneath her.

Why is anyone voting Republican at all?
The Republican party has not done anything for America in the last 40 years.
Why is Obama allowing Romney and Ryan to blame the debt and the slow economy on him?
Where is the backbone and hitting back on this issue?
The President does NOT pass jobs legislation. He just signs them.
Growth only happens if the “GOP owned congress” puts bills on the table to sign.
The uncompromising GOP has blocked, stopped, voted NO, obstructed, filibustered over 500 times and made pledges to NOT create jobs or bring cash to the government just to blame ONE man.
When is Obama going to say that to the millions watching?
When is he going to challenge the lies and tell the people that his policies are NOT at fault?
ALL GOP Policies are at fault because everything is directly involved with them.
Mr. Romney, let's do some ARITHMETIC...
#1 - Name the "Obama" POLICIES and the AMOUNTS that you say added trillions to the debt and “ADD” those amounts.
#2 –“DEDUCT” that Obama total from the current $16 TRILLION.
The balance = “GOP” spending.
DO Remember the following…
Expenses to “FIX” the GOP failed policies like TARP and the stimulus are still GOP spending and NOT Obama's fault so DO NOT count those policies.
All expenses from the previous GOP administration's “UNFUNDED” policies that Obama ADDED to his budget are ALSO Republican spending.
The INTEREST on the GOP TRILLIONS of debt is NOT for Obama to be responsible for either, it is GOP spending too.
The GOP “OWNS” that interest.
Also,
The “Bailouts” ARE “loans” to REPAIR more GOP screwed up policies, the GOP wanted those to be FREE of charge, a "going away gift" to the Banks and Wall Street from Bush. Obama made them loans.
Do not add policies before Reagan because there was NO DEBT PROBLEM before that, Reagan took office when the DEBT had ONE TRILLION and could have been tackled and fixed with comprehensive tax reform but Reagan did the opposite..
“Entitlements” are a tiny fraction of the debt and they always bring their own revenues through payroll deductions as premium payments. Entitlements are NOT free, it's paid-into insurance.
Be sure of this…
The Republicans will try blaming a Democratic majority that never actually had “control”.
Saying that the Democrats had a "Majority" doesn't count as “control”, because we all know the GOP had the "CONTROL" with their record filibusters and obstructions.
Remind the Republicans that "Total Control" is having a "Filibuster proof majority". The Democrats only had it for 6 months. After Teddy died, the Republicans went on a filibuster frenzy and BLOCKED everything.
All those failed GOP policies were drafted by Republicans AND all passed with GOP majority of votes going back to Reagan.
The Republicans will NEVER have policies or numbers to blame on the Democrats because they DO NOT exist.
Look them up, I tried. DO NOT call them “spending” if you cannot name the policies.
Every single policy at fault is GOP owned, drafted and vigorously voted by Republicans.
DO NOT get fooled into thinking it is Obama's fault. NOW is the time to stop that Myth.
Watch out for the following…
The Republicans and the Fox-Rush-bots are going to try to change the subject on this comment with insults, diversions and ridicules.
The Republicans will ask for budgets, but no one can pass budgets without Revenues. The GOP PLEDGED to NEVER raise revenues.
The Republicans will mention “bills” that are on Reid’s desk. I saw all those bills. NONE are for jobs or to fix the economy. ALL are for reducing regulations for the rich, cutting public services, more tax cuts for corporations etc.
The Republicans will blame gas prices on Obama but will fail to explain why a President seeking re-election would do that or how he could actually do that.
This is a WIN WIN on talks about the economy. Use it. Challenge every Republican. It will drive them mad with ZERO response.
This is NOT blaming the GOP or BUSH, this is ARITHMETIC !!!!
Hey Einstein.
1. This was said in 2008
2.More importantly you left off the quote in its entirty.

Yup that is what the thugs from Chicago do... vote early and often.
Then if the polls are not 'responding' they find stacks of 'ballots ' which were ACCIDENTALLY left behind in a down state voting center.
Oh yeah these AFFIRMATIVE ACTION cretins will not go easily to the showers.
Can we get a reputable source for this claim?
Thanks in advance... lol
A president has not failed as bad in a four year term as badly as Obama has failed since the Jimmy Carter term of 1976 to 1980 - and we know how that turned out.
Seriously, I don't see how any rational person could want four MORE years just like the failures of the LAST four years.
You were fooled once on a "Hope and Change" promise but how were you to know that actually meant "I HOPE I can find some loose CHANGE in the sofa because that is all I have left".
All you Obama supporters should be thinking "Fool me once shame on you - fool me twice shame on me".
Feisty: Just be facetious................ Although just because it is not ACTUALLY said..............
Does Josh's a$$ qualify as a reputable source?
Pro Business:
Congress has also been instrumental in this failure. I am voting against every incumbent. And against democrat/republican candidates when possible.
fesity @ 1.14 -- harry's rules. no proof needed.
Don't faint, sweetie. Romney's not-so secret weapon is the Obama first term record.
Michelle speaking at university of south Carolina.
“We don’t like being pushed outside of our comfort zones. You know it right here on this campus. You know people sitting at different tables- you all living in different dorms. I was there. You’re not talking to eachother, taking advantage that you’re in this diverse community. Because sometimes it’s easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance… That’s America.
Sent off my ballot today as did Michelle! Living in a Red for Life State, I'm so confident that my house and senate in Utah is going to see a big change! For those of you that vote in my district ... this wonderful candidate for the Democratic party is one worth voting for!

How About that Voting Machine Company Tied to Mitt Romney and Bain Capital?
The fact that Bain alumni, now raising big money as Romney bundlers are also in the electronic voting machine business. This appears to be a repeat of the infamous former CEO of Diebold Wally O'Dell, who raised money for Bush while his company supplied voting machines and election management software in the 2004 election."

This is the same lady who lied about Mr. Obama's grandmother in Providence RI last year saying she was discriminated against because she was a woman at a Hawaiian Bank....when in fact....she was the FIRST women to be elected to a senior post at the bank.
And this is the same lady who says "Get out to Vote before the Voting Starts".
Yeah......
And this is the same lady who had Oprah kicked out of the Obama's family life because Oprah would have "stole" the White House show.
Yeah.....
Great job, Progressives. Wait a minute....how about getting Mr. Clinton back on the campaign trail....you know....the President who went before impeachment proceedings and the one who Mr. Obama called a Racist.

Anne Romney a bitch, really. Apparently she has more class than some of those posting on this site. I have yet to hear her calling anyone names. Well if being wealthy, donating much of that wealth and being well spoken is an issue for you Feisty maybe you should do some self-evaluation and figure out who really fits the description of bitch.
Would any of you really turn down the opportunity to earn the wealth that the Romney’s have? Before you start with the lies don’t try to convince anyone that you would not do what Mitt Romney has done if that was the choice. For starters few if any of you know the Romney’s well enough to definitively say how Gov. Romney earned his wealth, it is only what you have read.
How many of you would donate as much money to charities as Mitt and Ann have if you were able to........and you want to call Ann a bitch?
If you don’t like the Romney family fine but why does it always have to be about name calling with so many of you. I don’t care for Michelle Obama, does that make her a bitch? I guess in your eyes it does. Feisty, you and many of your followers lack any semblance of class so I guess it isn’t your fault when I read the ignorance you so commonly spout.
If it weren’t for the people you hate so much this country of ours would be in much worse shape than it is now. It is the Romneys and people like them that support those who cannot or are unwilling to support themselves so if that makes Ann a bitch so be it. Capitalism is what this country was founded on; some one has to pay the bills. The socialist thing has been tried over and over again and it doesn’t work. Why do you think there are so many people who want to come to the US?

of course the obama's want you to vote early and often, because that's the only way to win !
People who voted early are missing out in the debates were obama is shown to be a liar...
and hilldog (hillary clinton) fell on her sword today and claimed it was her fault for Benghazi consulate attack and of course NO STORY from MSDNC or NY TIMES this is disgraceful and shouldn't be tolerated !
Satanick
This does not solve anything. By doing so, good people who don't deserve being dumped are more likely to get dumped.
Try listing the pluses and minuses of each candidate. Don't accept opinion pieces as the truth.
If they are definitely corrupt, vote them out.
If they don't give an effort to do what they promised, vote them out.
If they don't fit your ideas of how government should run vote them out.
Early voting is the secret weapon....because you don't get a chance to see the candidates outside of the 30 second commercial attacks that the other side is airing. Unless the voter actually educates themselves outside of the biased reports, an early vote is an ignorant vote.
Mark -- Ann is going to fill in for Mitt on The View Thursday. So I guess it's true: The bitch is back!
Layton…...I don’t care whose turn it is or isn’t. The American public will decide that. It was the “bitch” comment by some that irritates me. Consider me caught up.
Dang! This is not the first time I have agreed with DB Akron (#1.29). Hey buddy, how ya doin? I know we often disagree about most things, but I have to tell you, I like to see an intelligent post.
MarkMo12757 .....
Okay, you're caught up. Why on earth do you think Ann has something to offer to this country as a First Lady? You do know her platforms ....
I'd accept and entertain a reasonable response.
COinFL I guess I can chalk you up as just another mouth piece if that is the best you can do. I thought you liked to see intelligent comments, try posting one.
Layton,
Layton, I don’t know enough about her to make any comments one way or another. I do take issue with comments about Ann Romney or any other woman being called a bitch for sport.
My decision in this election has nothing to do with Ann and everything to do with the President and Mitt Romney. That was the case in 2008 when I voted for Obama, his wife had nothing to do with my decision. Now that the Obama’s have been in the White house for almost four years now I can honestly say I don’t like the President’s policies and I don’t care for Michelle but I would not refer to her as a bitch. Random comments like that lack class and character in my opinion.
My home state of Florida is extremely top heavy with Republicans in power. I have watched their tactics in voter suppression. I will not vote by mail or absentee ballot to find out weeks later that my vote was dismissed. I will vote early as soon as the polls open. I insist on being there in person when they falsely claim an uncrossed T or undotted I on my registration invalidates my vote. Hanging chads, my rear-end.
I WILL make a scene and rally others as I call every reporter and television station in my area. If they're gonna screw me out of my vote, it will be done in broad daylight with plenty of witnesses.
Okay, Mark. You say: "Capitalism is what this country was founded on". I disagree. I believe that this country was founded on the love of freedom.
It's "We the people", not "we the corporations", right?
Fiesty
redneckred head.You are the "scum of the earth" compared to Ann Romney. Your comments only resinates with folks your equal.
What are your plans after Nov. 6th, when your worthless comments ring shallow?
Mark,
If you are going to respond to me, than do so. I'm sorry for you that you don't care for Michelle. She has done more for this country about childhood obesity and embracing the vets than you realize. You do state this ....
I've never referred to Ann as a "bitch." I do think she is SOOOO bout of touch with this country. She wants to make Breast Cancer Awareness as her platform??? Hello!!!! the entire country is PINK in October, including the NFL! I don't think she is a bitch, I firmly believe she has no clue about this country.
I also think that she runs the house of Mittens. Look at all of the pics. He can't seem to lie with her presence.
Mittens has NOTHING, and I repeat NOTHING new to offer other than Bush's trickle down sh*t. The President is slowly and steadily improving the economy, the housing market, the DOW, and this great nation. The DOW goes up when people have confidence in this country. They do. I do. You don't.
Obama/Biden 2012
Why isn't this hateful person banned for life from posting on Obama's campaign network website? She is constantly disrespectful of others. I suspect she'll be on Ricky Lake some day when they have to tear down her walls so she can go for bypass surgery since she can't get out of bed or through a door.
Of course it is Moochelle Obese-ma's and the Democrats' strategy. It's easier to vote multiple times and in multiple states when early voting is going on.
Where I live, we have only 13 hours when the polls are open on election day to vote. There is no early voting and it's difficult to get an absentee ballot. It makes sense to give voters more time and flexibility to cast their ballots.
Anyone who has been paying attention to the issues that the candidates have campaigned on for months should be able to decide now. Of course, early voting could be a problem for Romney because he keeps changing his tune. Those who are inclined to vote for him might be waiting to see what positions he flips to next before they decide.

Layton,
Similar to MarkMo, why on earth would anyone consider for a moment the first lady or the wife of a presidential nominee when determining who to vote for? To my knowledge, there is no authority, responsibiltiy, or position vested in the "first lady" by either constitution or significant regulation, so the term hood ornament is appropriate. Worthless waste of time and discussion to consder either Michelle Obama or Anne Romney in this election.
Silent Service .... you all are posting underneath a Michelle Obama thread ... Oh the irony!!!!!
Obama/Biden 2012 .. and that INCLUDES Michelle and Jill!
for a person who belongs to a party who feels that they are the champions of progressing women's rights to call another woman a bitch shows a real lack of class and does not represent their party to the highest level..
whether you like Mrs. Obama or Mrs. Romney at least show some respect...imagine if I had called the first lady a bitch.......
Okay, last one for me tonight. I will start by saying I have enjoyed the debate and hearing the difference in opinions.
Layton. If you felt I had associated you with the bitch comments my apologies, I wasn't but there have been several making the comment It was others referring to Ann as a bitch that I took exception with. Ann my be out of touch in your eyes and that is your opinion and I will respect that. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on your comments about the President. In my opinion he has done more damage than good and I am referring mostly to the economy.
COinFL, while I would agree that freedom was definitely one of the most significant factors in this country's development our country has flourished under capitalism. Capitalism is what our economy has been based on from the beginning. Taking risk, hard work and investing personal wealth has made this country strong. I do well financially, I am not a millionaire but I work hard and believe that at some point I will retire to enjoy the last years of my life in comfort and spend time with family and friends. To often I read about Mitt Romney's wealth like it is a sin or a crime and in my book it isn't. I personally believe Mitt Romney has been very generous and shares his his good fortune and all some want to do is demonize him because he has money. We obviously are on opposite side of the isle and that isn't always a bad thing but I would like to see the name calling and some of the other nonsense stop.
I hope the two of you have a good night.
Michelle is right. Early voting is a big factor. Expect long lines in urban precincts in places like St. Louis, Cleveland, Miami, etc. Getting a large percentage of the vote earlier only makes it more possible that there will be far less shenanigans on election day. And Republicans have just demonstrated AGAIN in Florida (in their fraudulent voter registration campaign) who the real cheaters are. But yet, they have to put up barriers in the large urban precincts and enact laws that reject a school I.D. but allow proof of I.D. with a gun registration card. That is very obvious bias in the process. So, get to the polls early. That way when a voter is told he or she is not on the rolls, they can take steps to remedy the problem. And hopefully, the decreased surge on election day means no shortage of ballots at 6 p.m. before the close of polls (which always seems to happen in the urban areas of St. Louis).
Love the short memories here, or should we call them the alzheimers crowd. Remind me again <tsk, tsk> who was running the country in Reagan's final days?
Oh, and for the record, Ann Romney is one entitled female dog. Mitts abhors the 47%, Ann abhors the 99%. If that witch sticks one more friggin' Jan Brewer finger in my face, I'll be inclined to send her a Facebook bitch-slap. I will not tolerate being belittled and derided by "her" kind.
WOW, if you don't know who you are voting for by now then you have issues.
WOW, if you don't know who you are voting for by now then you have issues.
I know who I am voting for but I think that many Americans are just now starting to pay attention to the race.
I feel sorry for those if they are just now realizing there is a Vote for the next President of the United States. I find it sad if they care that little about who is running the shop and what they stand for. I can't remember a race where the candidates have been so opposite on their platform. This is a pivot point in history to be taken so lightly.
I was at the Franklin Cider Mill in a high-income suburb of Detroit this last weekend where Ann Romney was making an "appearance".
I asked what was going on, and a lady in the shop said that Annie was making an appearance, which was why the cops whose Union Annie was trying to bust were out there protecting her by redirecting traffic away.
The lady asked a guy in the shop, "A lot of people show up?" One of the guys who walked down the street to watch said, "Nah,....only about 25 people or so".
Twenty-five people? Right next to her own home town and she could only get 25 people? God that has to make you feel miserable!!
What'd President Obama draw last week in Wisconsin,....30,000?
Obama / Biden next month
Gonna be a short election.
Ironic of her stating this in front of a flag that she detests...
MarkM012757
"It is only what you have read"? So what sources other than "reading" would you suggest we use?
You would be surprised how many people would choose a wholey different path than Romney chose. Being a Venture Capitalist is not for the weak in heart or for anyone that gives a damn about people.
It's not that Venture Capitalists directly target people, it's just that "people" often do not even enter into the equation. They are assets. They are expense... and in most cases where a Venture Capitalist is investigating a takeover and turnover, the previous owners have deferred layoffs trying to save people... Venture Capitalists do not think that way.
I've worked with Venture Capitalists. But "worked with" usually ended up in knock-down drag-out fights relating how they treat people... not necessarily who they will lay off, but how they treat the people they are trying to cut the deal with... typically, they just aren't "people" people.
So, yes, the path Romney chose DOES mean something and , no, it was not necessarily a choice a great deal of us would have chosen... Like maybe construction or manufacturing at the "real" level versus the "buy and sell" level.
But back to the subject of the article.
Although I think it a bit much to classify Ann Romney as a bitch, I do agree that Michelle Obama is a seasoned front line driver that has a ten-fold more impact than an Ann Romney. Michelle commands higher respect and is a leader in her own right... an EARNED title for sure.
The difference between the campaigns in terms of their dynamics is clear... the huge and constant team effort versus the on-again, off-again "who the hell are we" campaign hoping for a well time reverse swift-boat spike. Can you guess which is which?
Early voting is campaign's 'secret weapon'...
...because that's when dead people, pets and illegal aliens vote.
The hate on this site is running rampant... chill people!
the nickname of the democrats needs to change to "the hate party"
You really do live in an alternate universe, don't you?! "Queen Ann" (as you called her) and the Romney's have paid their own way for everything they've done in life. Mitt gave away his inheritance to charity and has worked 28 years of his life with no pay (including his stint as governor in Mass, where he accepted no salary). Mrs O, by contrast, has lived it up heavily on the taxpayer "dime" (actually, it would be billions of dimes, I suppose)..... You really are amazing, Fiesty.... I almost begin to think you actually believe the stuff you post on here...
She wants people to vote early before her husband has the chance to further embarrass himself with any more pitiful debate performances. They are worried that if people wait and see any more of Obama's ineptness in the debates they may change their minds about who to vote for!!! Obama without his teleprompter telling him what to say is a joke and it shows just how little he really understands issues and what is going on. He needs the teleprompter telling what to say to make sure he does not forget what he is supposed to be telling the particular special interest crowd he is talking to and which talking points to spout.
Guess what sweet pea I did vote early and not for the jerk you married and now I can work for Romney lord or Allah knows he can't do works than Mr. NO HOPE AND BAD CHANGE.
lay @ 1.25 -- harry's rules. no proof necessary.
Talk about desperation! Get out and vote now before you have all the facts and my husband looses another debate. Nothing new, the Democrats were always dependent on the uneducated and uninformed.
YES, PLEASE hurry up and vote before the second ASS WHOOPIN!!!!
Sorry bulldog face, I just cast my absentee vote for romney, so i hope i cancelled you out....
If that is the case, MarkMo, why are so many other wealthy individuals NOT criticized or "demonized"?
I believe you have misunderstood the source of the criticism of Romney's wealth. No one in America begrudges him his financial success, but look at how he achieved it: he bought up companies with borrowed money, transferred that debt onto their books, sold off operations and facilities, forced companies into bankruptcy, paid himself huge 'consulting' fees, fired the workers and left. His business model of 'creative destruction' decimated not just companies but entire communities.
Then he took advantage of every tax loophole (some of which were written into law by lobbyists paid for by companies like Bain Capital) to enable him to pay a very small percentage of his income in tax instead of paying his fair share. He moved his money to Bermuda, Switzerland, the Cayman Islands and numerous other tax havens instead of investing it in the U.S.
In other words, Romney is ruthless, greedy and selfish. What has he contributed to that has benefitted his community or country at large? His charity money all goes to the Mormon church, which has spent millions of dollars defeating gay marriage initiatives (as if Mormons of all people should have the right to define marriage for others).
Capitalism is a good system in many ways, but unregulated and unbalanced capitalism is tryanny. The attempt by some of the wealthy and multi-national corporate interests to turn our country into a plutocracy is un-American. They will end up destroying our country, just as Romney destroyed companies and communities.
Obama knows what his supporters are concerned with:
Rolling Stone
President Barack Obama chimed in on the Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey "American Idol" quarrel in a recent interview with Miami's Y100, TheWrap reports.
When asked about the rumored feud, Obama offered a message of peace. "I think that they are going to be able to sort it out. I am confident," he said. "I'm all about bringing people together, working for the same cause. I think both outstanding artists are going to be able to make sure that they're moving forward and not going backwards."
But Obama appeared to play slight favorites. "Mariah, she's actually done some events for us," he said. "Nicki I don't know, but I've got her on my iPod."
That's right folks. You hurry up and get out there and vote for my husband before the Bengazi cover up is thoroughly vetted. Before other messes or secrets might be uncovered. Hurry, hurry, before it's too late. What you don't know won't hurt you, trust me, but it just might hurt my husband's chances of getting your vote.
Aggie, you must be reading my mind! The @!$%# is hitting the fan as we speak!
They think they can win if everyone votes BEFORE the rest of the secrets come out. Hillary may be a fool, but Bill is not!
So calling someone an idiot is classy and shows good character?
Anyone supporting this divisive, lying, racist, entitlement supporting, failed president truly doesn't understand what is going to happen to our economy, health care system and jobs if Obama is re-elected!
I have heard from three neighbors and friends who already plan on cutting employees numbers and hours (a restaurant, equipment rental and accounting firm) to stay out of the expensive, unmanageable Obamacare debacle! That is just the tip of the iceberg.
A president who doesn't understand that a profitable Big Bird/PBS franchise isn't worth borrowing from China and indebting our kids future for, doesn't deserve a single vote!
Wake up America before we are Spain and Greece 2.0...here next year if Obama is re-elected!
Amazing the amount of POUTRAGE from the double standards crowd about my calling Queen Annie a bitch!
Go BACK & READ what you all have called the sitting First Lady and stuff your indignation!
Your problem is, YOU all sure don't like it when I play by the rules YOU have established! lol
After all the hateful racist comments and crude insults that that been posted on the internet about our First Lady (you know who you are, haters) Ann Romney should consider herself lucky that she hasn't been called much worse.
Eat cake, Annie.

Michelle is hopping that the so called war against woman " declared" by Republicans will bring them all to their camp, guess what? They are not stupid like they think, in the begining probably but nowafter 4 years of attack and lies against Republicans, woman are leaving Obama camp and supporting Romney , now they split 48 % even. Just wait to the election, it will be a big surprise.

Boy have you got it ass backwards.
The Obamas are the ones with the entitlement mindset.
I'll be voting in the great state of N.C. on Friday. Voting for Mitt Romney. I've had enough of the 'change' ushered in with the current administration. I'm ready to see real results. Obama said he would work across the aisle for bipartisanship. So far all I've seen is a widening divide.
Mitt is a true moderate Republican, and he has proven that he can work with Democrats to get things done. Obama had his chance. It is time for a man with experience and business acumen to step up to the plate to turn this country around.
...and shame on the name calling (from both sides) - it adds nothing and fully displays personal ignorance. If you can't say something intelligent in favor of your own candidate, resort to playground name-calling to make your point. Sad.
So much for hope and I do not have any more change, so if she wants to vote for her husband great but in reality who else would she vote for? But maybe she and the feisty redhead can explain why they want you to vote early. I do not think she can not with any good reason anyway, unless the pressure is on and they cannot afford to wait a few weeks. Maybe if she is so excited about early voting maybe she can ask her husband why most of the military absentee voting cards were never delivered overseas?
Why Zira Obama? Because you know after your worthless husband gets spanked again on his record tonight in the second debate you know its time for your ugly ass to start packing!!!
Voted early and I certainly didn't vote for Odumbo!
As soon as Michelle and her husband are sent packing back to Chicago, Americans can be proud of America again.

And you support her why? Guilt?
Don't bother responding, I have better things to do than to fuel your vile....
we all heard what romney really thinks about half of this country with his famous " 47 % of americans feel entitled to food and housing and its not my job to worry about those people" so almost half of the american population does not deserve food or a place to live? most of the people he refered to have worked their whole lives trying to make sure they can retire at a decent enough age that they can actually enjoy a few of their golden years but with the recession and and the job market being flooded with illegals who will do( as one of your great republican leaders put it) "will do the jobs that americans wont!" well many people have no choice but to ask for a little help until things get better. and mitt romney has the balls to say these people who have worked and paid their taxes their entire lives dont deserve a little help when they need it? or are somehow beneath him and not worth his time? well we all heard mr. romneys remarks about the 47% and what he really thinks of them and it was not that he just let a couple words come out wrong, he said what he truly thinks about half of the american public. i wonder what else he says behind close doors when he thinks 47% of americans cannot hear him? im sure he really does look down his nose at the lowly poor people asking for food and a place to live and raise their children. if romney wins, the poor and middle class will lose.. and the line between poor and middle class is not as far away from eachother as some people think. if romneys idea of middle class is someone who earns $250,000 or less ,then im beyond poor! im a 3rd world country all by myself haha.... obama\biden 2012...

Looks like another failure by The Gang That Couldn't
ShootThink Straight!I voted to re-elect the President last week! And, yes, it did feel good to have it done. I've see Romney in person and I don't think I could live with him as President for four years.
That's great, not sure any of the 99 percent could live with him as president.......so glad you don't work for a Republican corporate owner where I hear they fire those workers who don't vote for Romney.....sad state of affairs it seems.
Amy: You couldn't live with Romney for four years? Like that could be any WORSE than the failures of the LAST four years?
Big words pro, but what is so much worse than where bush and the republicans left our country?
What has the republicans done for our country in the last four years except stop bills to put the people to work again. Why the republicans just recently voted down a jobs bill for veterans.
It takes some kind of slime to block a jobs bill for veterans. A vote for a republican is a vote for that kind of slime.
Then Romney their lead con-man tells you we the republicans know how to make jobs and fix the economy.
Buy the con, lose America.
" I've see Romney in person and I don't think I could live with him as President for four years."
Must of been the color of his skin, huh?
What alternate reality are you living in ProBusiness? Today is a vast improvement over the mess the last Administration left behind and we're getting better each and every day even with the slowdowns around the world that also effect our economy. I guess the theory was leave such a disaster behind that it can't be fixed in four years. That way you can blame the next guy for not being a superhero and getting it perfect while the right wing fights him tooth and nail the entire time to make sure he fails.

FALSE! You read only headlines, don't you! The amazing thing is that in both articles I read, the owners (party not identified) said that if Obama's policies are continued that they would probably have to lay people off to pay for the extra expense of the ACA, taxes, and regulations to hit the books.
My wife and I went to Early voting last week. We didn't care to wait until election day because our polling place was moved to another place where we thought it might be crowded. Probably won't do that again. It was about as bad as 2008 at our normal polling location. Waited about an hour to vote. Had to fill out a form requesting an early voting ballot and a folder with a nearly duplicate information to make certain you got your ballot.
When we were 100 - 200 people an appeared to be predominantly African American and many holding democratic flyers. No suprise about this, Akron is predominantly democrats. My wife overheard someone say that the only race they cared about was president and they were voting for Romney/Ryan.
The reason Democrats like the early voting is because people who sign up are more likely to vote if they can vote that day. You would think that would give them an advantage, but here in Ohio it is not proving to be true this election. Democrat dominated counties are up, but the Republican dominated counties are up even more. Likewise Republican Absentees are greatly increased, although the Democrats still lead in that category by 4 points.
Flip Flop Romney OUTSOURCING OUR JOBS is the weapon
Police have arrested three people for blocking the removal of equipment from the Sensata Technologies plant in Freeport, Illinois. Workers at Sensata have set up an encampment called "Bainport" across the street from the facility to protest plans by Bain Capital to close the plant and move operations to China, taking 170 jobs with it. Sensata is owned by Bain Capital, the private equity firm co-founded by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. We hear from two of the detained protesters: Karri Penniston, 16, whose mother works at Sensata, and Debi Kempel, a Bainport supporter from nearby Pearl City

DB Akron,
Poor little wifey and you felt forced to vote where many African-Americans were voting. The horror! How long did it take to rush home and scrub the black off each other? It's so hard to believe that such a public racist comment still exists in the 21st century.
I'm a white male that was born in Ohio. I left there 40 years ago. Even then, bigots kept such comments to themselves or among the few that agreed with them.
Why no. It is hard to tell the color of his skin from day-to-day. I personally use this color guide to try and match Romney's personality of the day. Sadly, the color chart doesn't come in a political spectrum.

The only worker in my wife's office she likes to work with, is a black woman.
My favorite boss was the foremost African American Architect in Cleveland.
My wife's first full time job was for a African American couple.
Seems to me you are the one with a problem. I was merely sharing what I had observed. Nothing more, nothing less.
Can you explain to me how they know how you voted to fire you? Unless you have a big mouth and go around telling your employer how you voted, then they would not know.
Yeah early voting -- once again put your head in the sand. The taxpayers don't thank you at all. We like to get all the facts up to voting day. Only the lazy vote early but I guess that way you don't have to wait for your freebies. Congrats lapdogs you've done your duty -- to yourself.
If you don't know who you are voting for by now then you have issues. Only the lazy waits till the last moment to vote. There is nothing new that will come out of the debates that have not already been put on the table. Well, except maybe Romney flip flopping again, but even that everyone is used to by now. So if you are undecided by now then OMG is all i can say to you.
I feel sorry for you Amy...
Vote early before the debates, encourage people not to hear them, good idea. And for God's sake don't eat the ice cream cone.

I knew who I was going to vote against 2 years ago...just didn't know if I'd be voting Libertarian (as I did in 2008) or going with the republican nominee. I've listened to Romney and believe he's the guy to get this mess straightened out.

A great album inside that cover you post ! Takes me waaaaay back.
I agree on Romney...the nation is going nowhere fast the way things are and I've heard nothing about how this White House would do things any differently in the future. Every time the President's mouth opens, his words start with "My opponent Governor Romney would.....".
If he has something to say about himself, he should say it. He isn't paid to be a self-appointed interpretor.
DB Akron, don't call me Dude. That suggests a familiarization that does not exist. I can document my statements with indisputable evidence. Your's remind of so-called buds that defended their bigotry by claiming imaginary and invisible black friends.
Your tactics are decades old and totally transparent. Nobody complains about being surrounded by a majority of "African Americans" without hatred and bigotry in their hearts. The very term has long been obsolete.
Stand by the coldness in your heart or admit your obvious hypocrisy. You can't have it both ways. My wife and I both came from big families. We have about 75 collective family members that still reside in Ohio. You sir, do not represent the Buckeye State.
Joe Biden did very well, and Michelle has all of our backs, even those who don't know they are voting against their own economic self interest by voting for Robme.
Are you a real person ? Or are you one of those drug ridden souls who thinks that everything in life should be free?
Joe (Mensa) Biden is a fraud through and through as is his 'boss' who with his moochie wife have ruined this Nation and want to decimate it in the next four years.
Romney and Ryan can make the fool halt.
Josh...Wayne is called a Handouter.
No ones thinks everything should be free. I work and pay taxes both at work and on my home.
The difference is I am not stingy and am willing to help others. Thank god I am not a christian or I would be like them and voting for a republican who would take the food out of the mouths of children to give Romney another tax cut.
After all him and Queen Ann deserve to only pay 1% and keep all their money stashed offshore making jobs in China where Romney is going to get all tough on his and Bain's ability to make money in China that takes American jobs.
Running for president Romney can't stop his own company Bain from moving jobs to China? He won't even talk to the workers. You think he cares about your job? Or any ones job for that matter?
Right?
Anybody who believes Romney is a fool.
American’s First, I am glad to hear you like to share your wealth. So do the Romneys, as a matter of fact in 2011 the Romneys made about 13.7 million dollars. They paid about 1.9 million in tax (14.1%) and donated 4 million to charity (approx 30%). Don’t take my word for it google it? I am sure you share 30% of your wealth with others. Maybe you did maybe you didn’t but with the untruths you just spouted I think many would lean towards you didn’t.
So like the typical mouth piece it looks like your facts are more closely aligned with lies. Next time you spout something so ignorant you may want to make it something that isn’t so easy to discredit.
MarkMo12757 ....
Sharing the wealth. All great good and fine. What about those that share their TIME? Those that volunteer to assist teachers in schools, those that volunteer to coach AYSO, those that volunteer to sort food in food banks, and those that volunteer to be a Girl Scout leader and teach so MANY young women about all of the possibilities they have in life.
I don't have a lot of "wealth" to share. I do however, have time. I use it wisely. Everyone has a buck or two to give ... but giving time out of your life???? That means more than anything ....
Obama/Biden 2012
Wait a minute "Americans First". What the hell do you mean by "thank god I am not a christian or I would be like them..."? I am a Christian, and I am voting to re-elect the only Christian in the race, President Obama.
I'm editing my comment to say that the reason I am voting for President Obama is that I believe his policies are best for our country, not just because he is Christian and Romney is not.
Mark Mo
The Romneys gave an additional 1.7 Million to charity beyond the $4 Million. They had exceeded the IRS maximum reportable giving for their Adjusted gross income.
There $4 Million was 27% of their income. 17% was given to their church and all the rest including that which they could not report went to a host of other charitable causes.
Layton, great points and I agree with your comments. Time is valuable and not everyone has a lot of $$ to give. I truly applaud those that give either time or money to charities of heir choice. Again the issue I had with the comments made earlier was the picture that was trying to be painted about the Romneys. Whether folks like them or not is obviously their choice. The point I was making is I believe the Romneys are a very generous family. If I am not mistaken the Obama’s have donated a good amount of what hey ear to charity as well. If people were saying the same things about the Obama’s as they are the Romneys I would have the same response.
Layton
Historically, When Mitt was a Bishop for 10 years, he was expected to give 10 hours per week and probably gave more. BTW, you don't get the position of Bishop, unless you already are already known to give of your time freely.
He still does give time and not just to Mormons either. In 2008, Mitt was campaigning in California when he came upon a man who had a large tree down in his yard. The guy was trying to clear it himself. Mitt asked if he would like some help. The guy said "yes". Mitt told him he had nothing scheduled the next day, so he could come and help. Mitt showed up the next day with one of his sons.
So many above comments are pro-Obama. I wonder why. Would one of you guys please care to respond as to why we need 4 more years of this failed president? Maybe I need to reconsider.
kkwilson -- If you're thinking of voting for Romney then you do need to reconsider.
Co in Fl
Yes, Obama was baptized, and joined a church. That in human eyes qualifies as a Christian. But it is God who weighs the heart, it is he who knows who really is and isn't. Anyone can complete the rituals, pledge allegiance, give money, and give all kinds of time to charities, anyone. They don't have to be Christian.
Contrary to some Christian Denominations, being a "Mormon" does not preclude it's members from being a Christian, nor does being a Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Baptist, or others.
Neither does being a member of any denomination make you a Christian. Each does things very right, some do some things wrong, and some do things that are very wrong. Mormon from, my understanding, does some thing very wrong.
Romney is more Christ-like than Obama will ever be. If the Christians of this earth did on average half as much as he does, this world would be a much, much different place. However, that does not mean Mitt is a Christian.
Christian isn't something you should claim yourself to be, it is something others should say of you. Following this understanding, one has to search out what Obama's pastor had to say.
In a recorded interview with Reverend Wright, Reverend Wright was asked if Obama had really converted to Christianity. Reverend Wright felt he could not say that Obama had a full conversion to Christianity, that the most he could do was work with him to be "more comfortable" with Christianity.
For those that say Obama is a Muslim, I would say, probably not. I've come to the conclusion that Obama is neither Christian, nor Muslim. Obama is about Obama. As God puts it.
I think it obvious that Obama doesn't really pass the first, you could argue perhaps the second. But, in considering the second, how does that fit when Obama is attacking the Rich? Is that what God want's us to do?
The second can only be done if you actually are doing the first which leads to "Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit says the Lord". When I hear Obama, I hear how much he has done things, not how much God is doing thing through him.
Mitt, well, most stories, it appears it was him deciding to do the things he has done, but I am uncertain, because often a sometimes it's really hard to tell what the motive really was.
Mark and DB .... Please don't do the Bishop thing with me! Unless you have worked for one and have "seen" their so called "generosity." Please take it out of the mix. It's an ingrained, indoctrinated belief and has nothing, I repeat NOTHING to do with Christians.
Obama/Biden 2012
Would those be the carefully devised tax returns to compensate for the other 8 years he refuses to release? Let's see of that $4M, how much went to the Mormon Church requirement? Charity giving is the biggest piece of bull@!$%# giving, especially when it comes to the Romney's.
You see, Mitt wants us to deem his most recent tax return as viable when in fact they have no viability unless backed up by his prior tax returns. He may as well have said I will release no tax returns ever. One years tax returns equals no years tax returns.
He released 20 yrs to McCain and has a certified letter from Price Waterhouse that he has paid on average 20% since 1999. Nothing is enough for you "tax returners" (although you screeched when the "birthers" were questioning your "idol". But it's ok your BO lies, cheats, breaks the law, and has NO record! I guess as long as you're getting yours you don't give a rat's a$$ about the taxpayers whose pockets you're picking! HYPOCRITES. Oh yeah, collapse me...more people will read these remarks cowards!
@ COinFL
Obama is NOT a Christian for sure based on his own statements.
Secondly, why would a Christian wear a ring on his wedding band finger that states in Arabic "There is one god Allah"? Can you answer that one?
If you are happy with the direction of this country, if you feel safe that the government has your back, vote Obama. I'm glad things are working out for you!
That said, there are millions who are struggling with his policies, and those who don't feel as safe today as they did 4 years ago.
The important thing is to go out and vote!
lay @ 3.13 said -- "It's an ingrained, indoctrinated belief..."
sounds alot like the obamatons and omamapoligists
How, specifically, does Michelle have our backs? Is she looking to grab our wallets like her hubby?
All you Obommies seem to forget how Joe ( horse-teeth) Biten laughed about the 4 Americans getting killed in a terrosist attack!

Romney/Ryan 2012
It is libbie "code" ... "we are covering up for you" would be the literal translation !
This is like Hillary Clinton has "Obama's back" on the intended Libyan distortions and lies ... now apparently willing to be the scapegoat for "the buck stops here" ... at least until AFTER the elction is over when she might possibly tell the truth !
Feisty Jen Psaki- Shouldn't you be pressing Obamas pants or shining his shoes right now. I mean, you are working for him. You should spend more time doing that then sitting here with us lowly bloggers.
Hell yes it is a weapon. Get them to vote now before something happens to dishearten the minions. "Quick vote for my husband, now, get your vote in." Of course, there was no changing the minds of the ones who would vote for him anyway. Guess it is good for them to get it out of the way. The only problem I have with the early voting is the early "preliminary" vote count. Just like the networks, I don't think those numbers should come out prior to the polls closing on Nov. 6. They proved a long time ago that by predicting a winner on the East Coast had an influence on the voting on the west coast. No one wants to go on record as voting for a loser when they were made aware 3 hours before their polls closed.
The woman obviously never took an Econ class

1.3% GDP growth is nobody's idea of a "huge recovery".
Well, unless you're in the cult. Then, reality? Pfffft.
"Well, unless you're in the cult"....
But you ARE no jo: the cult of hatred for your black, Democratic President!
Tell me, does that make you a bigot?
When all else fails, you liberals have to play the race card!
new day...
I have never seen a post from Joe having a problem with Obama being black.
Why you keep trying to make it an issue?
You a racist? Only reason I can think of for you to act so bigoted. Same to those calling Ann Romney a bitch, you all are just a very sad group of people.
When one sees racism....
But the truth does hurt, right Kumar?
Say, old fat guy, HEAVY into denial, aren't you?
I deny nothing, show me a post from Joe that makes him a racist.
I am very sad for you folks with a record you can not run on so you turn to bigotry
newday -- the race card is played. it is so disgusting. cannot disagree with obama? the cult does live.
It's one of the ploys used by the likes of new day and Feisty.
It's really pitiful that the don't realize that it's a failure just like the man they idolize.
Ah, deflection- the last, best hope of the Obama cult.
It's not working, but they're desperate.
"it's one of the ploys used by the likes of new day and Feisty"
Yep, Tammy, truth is often the ploy we use most.
Deflection? Not at all no jo: just using your standard.
Remember, when you want to try to bully people, you call them a racist or a homophobe.
I thought you were doing it based on how YOU "think."
So, how's that ignore function working out for you, no jo?
newday...
I have asked you twice to show us a posting by Joe comments that are racist.
No facts to back up your lies?
Three weeks from tomorrow you will see just how many people disagree with this president and just like Jimmy Carter he will be done not because we are a country full of racists but because we are not stupid enough to go for this amateur act again.
BARRACK OBAMA ...FAILED PRESIDENT
As if I care what you demand or what you think, fattie! Who are YOU to make demands of me?
no jo knows EXACTLY what I am talking about.
Here's a little hint for you: when you make claims about someone that are not true, like your President being a failure, why you TOO might be a racist!
Whenever a person steps into a public forum as this is, and said person starts telling lies and is unable to back it up when called on it gives me the right to make a demand.
PUT UP OR SHUT UP !
Our president has failed not because he is black but because he does not have the ability or desire to do the job. That is not a racist statement.
If anyone said he is a failure because he is black, that would be a racist statement. No one has said that and to be very blunt there are several black people with the capability to do a wonderful job as president.
This will be my final word on the subject because you are not capable of adult conversation in addition to being a racist jerk.

newday -- the race card is played. it is so disgusting. cannot disagree with obama? the cult does live.

Look in your mirror. You are the ingrained racist.
I dislike the white half of Obama as much as I do the black half. As a whole he has been a dismal failure. If that makes me a racist I am okay with that call me what you would like, I couldn't care less.
Why, fattie, what a short fuse you have!
My goodness, it just seems that truth is very troublesome to you.
And then you run away, after flinging one final insult, sticking your fingers in your ears, so frightened that I will not let you have the last word!
"if anyone said he was a failure because he is black that would be a racist statement..."
Yeppers, and so is refusing to admit that this President has a right to Air Force One, that he legitimately beat no jo's crush Hillary, that Mrs. Obama pays for her own vacations, and that the President is a citizen of this country.
You just don't have to use the word black and failure to be a racist.
Now, do grow up, and try not to embarrass yourself in a public forum.
The day will not come when I cave into demands from someone as pedestrian as you.

And MarkMo12757..
I don't need to call you out as a racist. I'm sure you're in LOVE with Ann Coulter.
Early voting is not about trapping you in case you want to change your mind. Early voting is for the working people that can't get to the polls on November 6th. The working people that intend to vote until they find they must work overtime. The working people that get a call to pick up their ill child from school and can't get away to vote. The working people that get tied up in unexpected heavy traffic and can't get to the polls before they close.
I know this because I have always been a working man and personally faced each of these examples in the past. Now, please give me one reasonable example of why many red states are trying so hard to curtail early voting?
@Layton - gasp .. you brought out the blond, fair-haired, pearly white, all American racist pig, Coulter. How could you? Why that fair-haired maiden can't even pronounce Hispanic without enunciating Hiss-pan-ick.
Yo fat man .. still looking for Jake, I see. Sounds like you found IT in nojojake.
NewDay-- are you off the meds today? I'm curious as others are here, what exactly did No Jo say that you deem as a racist comment?
Racism is all about hate, and from reading your comments, you are so full of hate you can NOT contain it. Hence, the name calling, the bitterness reeks from your comments...
Go see a shrink, and deal with your problems, we don't need more hate in this country!
Since I voted for Obama in 2008, but will vote him out now, I guess you think i'm a born again racist, huh? Get help dude/dudette....
And from sirie:
"racism is all about hate..." ( and ignorance.)
Yes it is, sirie, and there is no bigger hater on Newsvine than no jo.
Thank you for remaking the point.
By the way, intelligent people do not defend no jo. We know her for what she is.
In spite of what the media spun, "gosh that was kinda over the top"-VP Biden discussed things without camouflage at all-you can walk into a café on main street anywhere and this is what a debate sounds like. Barack and Michelle are special people. They would rather stand beside you. Hilary has been working non-stop since the last election. The GOP is addicted to corruption.
newday,
Truth? If the all of the truth was told, Obama would only get one vote for sure and perhaps one more.
We know Michelle would vote for him but we are not sure if he is competent enough to understand how to vote for himself.
NOBAMA 2012!!!!

Romney gave 15% of his income to tax deductible charities last year.
Obama gave lest then 1/2%.

While the common guy thats 100 times richer is helping out in soup kitchens without needing it for a camera op.
Next time your car breaks down call a plumber. Thats the same as voting for Barack Obama.
is that moochelle in the picture or patrick ewing with a wig. its hard to tell.
I see that "newday" has absolutely perfected the m.o. of the silly liberals: deflect, deny, denigrate. I would block this fool, but I personally find the commments to be almost comical! I have an uncle in South Texas that is rabidly liberal, and this person sounds almost exactly like that p.o.s. And yes, I did say that because it's true. When a person GAINS weight so that he will qualify for disability, well, I have to call B.S.! And this is the reason that so many of you bleeding heart liberals want this failure to stay in the w.h., to give your sick sense of entitlement some kind of merit. And I would like to add that Mrs. Obama left out the second portion of her mantra, "vote often!" Enjoy the show tonight you silly liberals!
Common...
Each of the examples you cite as the need for "working people" to cast their votes early make zero sense.
"Working people" need to vote a month before an election beacuse they're asked to "work overtime"...have to "pick up an ill child from school"...or are "tied up in traffic and can't get to the polls on time" on the day of the election ???
So these "working people" need to vote a month ahead of the actual election just in case one of those three things happen on the day of the actual election ?????
Anyone giving those three reasons for having to vote a month before election day can only and purely be described as an Obama voter.
tony-268769, you are showing your age or ignorance. I've been voting since 1971. In person early voting began in Florida in 2004. Absentee ballots were available before then only with legitimate excuses. 16 states do not have early voting to date.
Once again, please give me one reasonable example of why many red states are trying so hard to curtail early voting?
Because in some counties, the total votes will exceed the total registered voters !
DO THE MATH !
Get out the vote America! The First Lady is a great example of an American doing her God given right too vote.
Real Clear Politics is consistently cited by both FOXNEWS and NBCNEWS as a current source for reliable averaged polling data at every level of American politics.
Real Clear on Saturday reduced the number of total 'toss-up states' still in play at the national level from twelve to eleven, having returned Missouri to 'leaning Romney'.
As a result, the eleven states of Florida (FL), Pennsylvania (PA), Ohio (OH), North Carolina (NC), Michigan (MI), Virginia (VA), Colorado (CO), Wisconsin (WI), Iowa IO), Nevada (NV) and New Hampshire (NH) are the only states yet to be placed in either the Obama or Romney camps.
Beyond that, of the thirty-nine states no longer considered toss-up, Obama can lay claim with relative certainty to receiving 201 electoral votes to Romney's 191, with 270 winning the Presidency outright.
At present, with only 21 days left in the 2012 presidential campaign, Obama leads in eight of the eleven
remaining toss-up states and Romney leads in three.
In descending order of percentage of lead in favor of Obama, followed in ascending order of percentage of lead in favor of Romney, here are the averaged polling numbers from Real Clear Politics for Monday, October 15:
In PA, with 20 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 4.8%.
In MI, with 16 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 4.4%.
In IO, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 2.7%.
In WI, with 10 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 2.3%.
In OH, with 18 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 2.2%.
In NV, with 6 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 1.6%.
In VA, with 13 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 0.8%.
In NH, with 4 electoral votes, Obama's lead is 0.7%.
In CO, with 9 electoral votes, Romney's lead is 0.6%.
In FL, with 29 electoral votes, Romney's lead is 2.5%.
In NC, with 15 electoral votes, Romney's lead is 4.7%.
For Obama to win re-election, the easiest route would appear to be through maintaining his existing lead in the five toss-up states where his current leads are widest: PA, MI, IO, WI, and OH. Doing so would bring his electoral vote total on Election Day to 271.
Should Obama lose the critically important and highly-contested toss-up state of OH, the loss could be overcome by simultaneous victories in two of the remaining toss-ups where he presently holds a narrow lead: VA and NV. This alternative non-OH route would bring his electoral vote to 272.
For Romney to unseat Obama, he not only would have to capture the three states in which he presently leads, NC, FL, and CO (bringing his electoral vote total to 244), but also steal victories in NH, VA, NV where Obama's current lead is most narrow (raising his total to 267), plus add one final victory in any single state from among the remaining five where Obama presently leads by his widest margins of 2.2% to 4.8%: OH, WI, IO, MI, or PA.
A tougher road for Romney to get to the White House, to be sure, but not an impossible task.
Horse@!$%# on your so called 'stats'.

You, sir, are a jerk....and since you appear to believe that these numbers somehow HURT your nominee, you're also a crybaby.

Police have arrested three people for blocking the removal of equipment from the Sensata Technologies plant in Freeport, Illinois. Workers at Sensata have set up an encampment called "Bainport" across the street from the facility to protest plans by Bain Capital to close the plant and move operations to China, taking 170 jobs with it. Sensata is owned by Bain Capital, the private equity firm co-founded by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. We hear from two of the detained protesters: Karri Penniston, 16, whose mother works at Sensata, and Debi Kempel, a Bainport supporter from nearby Pearl City

Illinois raised the state income taxes by 65% in 2011.
Many businesses in Illinois then left the state to places like Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin or at least threatened or made plans to, until Illinois Governor Quinn and co. caved and gave out some sweetheart tax deals to stop the bloodletting.
However joe citizen still has the 65% increase in taxes.
In 2012, the Illinois state debt doubled.
Illinois The Absolutely worst state in the union and one of the bluest and not so "progressive" states around.
Unless by progress you mean unfunded pension liability debt of 20,000 per man woman or child.

Fortunately many Americans can see Obama is leading us to bankruptcy.
After all you can't borrow 60% of every dollar you spend and expect to last long.
People are tired of the promise that only takes what little bit of change they have right out of their pockets.
Obamas back door tax hikes have hit the middle class hard and his Obamacare tax of $1,700 on every middle class family will make it even harder to put food on the table.
Romney may have to deal with Obama bankrupting the country but at least he won't be the cause of it.
Feisty - Agree totally. Mrs. Obama is a class act. I'm sorry I missed the fun after the Biden/Ryan debate. I had foot surgery and was watching from the couch under the influence of some great pain meds but I enjoyed every minute of it. I would have been mad too if I were Biden. In 2008 he had to debate with Alaska Barbie and Thursday night he had to debate Beaver Cleaver. How frustrating it must have been for Biden to stand there and listen to that shark eyed little boy spout his crazy lies.
Biden--the Sarah Palin of the Republican party and you are waving the flag.
It wouldn't be scary to see him as the president.
Actually Mensa Joe sat there and he did so because he is not physically able to stand for any period of time.
His mental condition and his physical condition are so far gone ... well you saw his loss of respect for the process as he laughed at the death of Americans, as he scoffed at facts as he performed like a circus clown.
That is who you want to be a step away from the Presidency ?
I call horse manure on you and your kind.

Biden is an uniformed, laughing, disrespectful old fool...who was so rude. If he was one of our kids he be on a time out!

LMAO!!!
It seems funny that several states are allowed to vote early with absentee ballots yet the president doesn't want to allow the same right to those in the military fighting for our freedom. I hope that Michelle and President Obama will be packing their bags in a few weeks
No. The president believes that nobody's vote should count more than someone else's vote. Just because a person is in the military doesn't mean that their vote counts more than a civilian's vote does. In any election, we are all equal. That may not be the case the other 364 days of the year(And that in itself sucks), but on Election day, EVERYONE is EQUAL!
The problem the military is having is coming from their home states and a lot of confusion about how to deal with such a mobile group of voters, Obama has nothing to do with it.
ALASKA GIRL please engage brain before inserting foot in mouth.

Whatsthis you are spreading lies. Now everyone can vote on the weekend before the election. Not just the military which I assume the right wing republicans think will vote mainly for Romney. Now all people including the military will have the right to vote and that is a win win for democracy and for America.
Overtop in poor taste. succubi- Female members of the GOP Organized Crime Syndicate.
A;asla Girl,
So how does allowing the military to vote early hurt anything?
The answer is that the military despises Obama and the left wants to disenfranchise our military personnel. Democrats think that they can have a lot of the votes be late or never arrive at all.
NOBAMA 2012!!!
The military despises President Obama? Really. Why? Because your Republicans tell you that? Have you yourself researched this and seen any polls that reflect this?
Hey Josh Brogan: Didn't put my foot in mouth. That's the Republicans job, or more specifically, Romney's job, often both feet at the same time. Oh, I would feel quite safe if "Give 'em hell" Joe Biden were to step into the presidency. Lyin' Ryan in the oval? God help us all.
Members of the military, either N.G., A.R., or R.A. are currently leaning 66% for Romney. Here's your link otascogirl:
http://washington.cbslocal.com/2012/10/08/poll-66-percent-of-military-members-support-romney/
And I do hope that you note that the poll was conducted by CBS, and not some "right-winged/skewed" outfit. And in your defense of Joe "Bite Me" Biden is pathetic. If there is one thing a CAREER politician is very good at is lying through his/her (pelosi) whitened teeth, and smiling while doing so. Although not as arrogant, or as narcissitic as his boss, 'ole Bite Me is every bit as idiotic.

LOL
Obama/Biden 2012
Alaska,
I see you have as much sense as Tickle me Biden.
AGAIN with the freakin' Teleprompter business, jrsy? What the pluperfect reverberating h*** is it with you right- wingers about that?
The last time your side managed to get a puppet into the White House, it was that dimwit who found reading to a kindergarten class to be as much of a challenge as he could handle. His dad could deliver a speech as competently as most grown- up, Yale- educated men could be expected to do, but without a script to follow, George I (and the English language!) were lost at sea. Ronald Reagan was good at hitting his marks and saying his lines, but on his own, he was his handlers' nightmare.
Yet using a Teleprompter is only a problem when it's Obama who's doing it. Kinda like the way you only have conniptions when the black Democrat goes out for a round of golf, or takes a vacation with his family- when it's a known and verifiable fact that the Son-of-a-Bush is the reigning champion in both categories.
If there's anything in life I cannot tolerate, it's a f****** hypocrite- and that is why I could never vote Republican.
Again with the freakin' black president thing. You're the one showing your racist leanings by trying to blame any and all criticism on his race.
I personally don't care how often he plays golf. What I care about is a man who lies to the American public about some stupid movie causing the deaths of four Americans, and then jets off to Vegas and the View.
You wouldn't stand for that kind of behavior from Bush. You wouldn't say Palin won the debate if she acted like Biden did, and you wouldn't re-elect ANY president who did such a piss poor job as Obama, and that, my friend, is the definition of a hypocrite.
little jrsygrl-# ....
You don't care about your country.
The President does NOT need to release details about an incident until they are solidified. So, because you are SO in the know ... you got the memo about our country going after Bin Laden and you approved exactly how?
I personally like knowing that those with the intelligence take their time and get the facts and don't "twitter" @!$%# of national intelligence to people like you.
Obama/Biden 2012
"The President does NOT need to release details about an incident until they are solidified."
Let me fix that for you...
"The President does NOT need to release details about an incident until after the election.".
The president could have said, it's under investigation, but instead he chose to lie and blame "religious insensitivity." If you reward that behavior with a second term, YOU don't care about your country.
I didn't get the memo about the raid on OBL, but Biden did. and advised against it because if something went wrong, it might hurt their chances for a second term.
If you reward that type of behavior with a second term, YOU don't care about your country.
You don't care about anything but making sure your team wins.
It may hit the fan with you small minded yokels watching Fox News. For the rest of us we will be mourning the deaths of Americans in Libya. But we know who is cutting millions in funding to the security of our embassies and consulates and it is not President Obama or Democrats. They are denying the cuts have anything to do with it, but I don't believe it for a second.
Just like the false prophets the GOP Adherents blindly follow so is their doctrine, protest and message.
It's funny how you see folks like Bill Clintons' bro splashed all over the covers of tabloids every time you stand in a grocery store check out line yet never see anything about Obamas' family anywhere. WHy have there been NO detailed articles about BO's illegal relatives???? People want to slam Romney and his family. Many apparently jealous of their wealth hence titles like "Queen Anne". Shouldn't Obamas' family be the poster children for poverty??? How about their faces all over phamphlets for low income housing, food stamps, and hey, maybe birth control??? Obamas' are soooo for Americans making sure everybody gets a peice of the pie then why aren't they taking care of their poor relatives instead of letting the taxpayers do it???
jrsygrl-GOOD POST!!! Right on the mark. Don't let the hater responses get to you.
Oh, wow. I think your intelligence is in question. You actually pay attention to tabloids. Now, be honest. You know that you left out the part where you actually purchase those tabloids because that is where you get your cold hard facts isn't it? Well, those and Fox Entertainment t.v. Democrats are known for upscale and credible reading sources. That is probably what is really wrong with Republicans. You guys have a problem with the big words. Just one more reason why President Obama feels that the education system really needs our attention. He is trying to help your children so that they don't end up like their parents.
Oh, hey jrsygrl: LOL

Or even broad statements like he made it worse these last four years. The republicans said no to every jobs bill even the one for veterans and yet you would have us blame President Obama for their votes against American jobs.
You call yourself smart and yet you are going to vote for a republican party that has voted against jobs for four years and that is the party that you trust to create jobs?

Oh, and I can't miss out on my next trip to Spain! I am planning on taking Beyonce and spending 40 mill. Oh, I just love my country!
So, Kumar, your point is that this BLACK Democratic President is not entitled to the protection and safety afforded other Presidents by the use of Air Force ONE, required not only for safety, but as a working substitute White House office?
Truthseeker, find another moniker, unless you mean it to be ironic. First Ladies pay for their own vacations.
Newday. You are kidding right? You really think taxpayers didn't foot the bill for ALL of Michelle's extravagent world travels? Here is an idea. PUT DOWN YOUR OBAMAPHONE AND PAY ATTENTION!
Yes, truthseeker, I am saying exactly that, no matter what right wing trash you read and listen too.
Tell me, when Laura Bush was jetting around the world on her little vacations, were you equally outraged?
What does Black have to do with it???
Other President's have not taken a 5-6 hour date on Airforce One. Note I was not critcal when he takes Airforce One on vacation, where he is there for several days and during that time, probably also working. THIS WAS A DAMN DATE!!!
Least he could have not is not taken the 747! Clinton routinely took a smaller plane to Martha's Vineyard.
Really, Kumar? Source?
By the way, Kumar: I realize that you aren't the brightest crayon in the box, but whatever plane your President is on is automatically called AIR FORCE ONE.
He did indeed take a smaller plane to New York, which I know you will find disappointing. Source: Media Matters.
Newday
truthseeker20 is pulling stuff out of the lower part of his anatomy.
It has been documented the First Lady Michelle Obama paid for friends on their Spain vacation.
There was one other woman. Total: four daughters among the three women. They paid for their hotel rooms and other personal and travel expenses.
So why did Mrs. Obama go to Spain at this time? She's not tone-deaf politically. What was behind the "mother-daughter" vacation?
A White House source told me that Blanchard's father passed away and Mrs. Obama was not able to make the funeral at the beginning of July. Blanchard had promised her daughter she would take her to Spain for her birthday. She asked Mrs. Obama and Sasha to come with. (Malia is at overnight camp.)
"She felt it was important as a dear friend to do this," I was told.

You know, Beverly, if they weren't so sad...they would be funny!
newday,
My poor child.
No, we are saying that Obama is a wasteful, incompetent, weak, sad excuse for a president who happens to be half black.. The only ones who vote for him are those who want more for nothing.
When he is gone, Americans will be proud of America again. It is well known that liberals are only proud when they get more freebies.
NOBAMA!!!
the funny thing is this election cycle they cant get the lazy unemployable welfare moochers off their sponge asses to vote this time. even with promises of more free things like computers and cheese the liberal voting base is just too drunk on mad dog 20/20 to care. buh bye barry and moochelle.
Apparently, Old Day Yawning is pretending to have some actual authority on this site. Of course, earlier he exploded in a rant like flames dropped in a box of fireworks. I guess he forgot his meds today !
Obama has our country $16 trillion in debt with NO BUDGETS, NO PLAN and NO CLUE ! His desperation will show tonight.
I KNOW whatever plane the president is on is Air Force One! Which was EXACTLY my point. He could have taken a smaller plane (and if your little liberal mind can't comprehend, smaller plane, less fuel, less taxpayer money) instead of jetting around on the 747 for his stupid date!
On Wednesday my family will cast 7 votes against Michelle and the led around by the nose man most people think is President. As far as the Koch's go haven't labor unions done that on the Democrat side for 100 years?
What a super stupid statement.
Richard-Our family joins yours in casting 4 votes against Michelles' man staying in office. 4 votes for the opportunity to get this country back on track!!!!
What happened to "the opportunity to get this country back on track !!!!" .... during the LAST 3.8 years and counting ???
Are you admitting now that Obama cannot get the job done ? Are you saying he failed the first time and you want to give him another shot at failure again ??
That's what you think ! Many of your family will tell you that in public but do something else in the booth! Trust me on this one !! My family's votes will cancel out all of your family's votes and give Obama/Biden the edge !!
Say what you want but Obama hates capitalism and all that it brought.
Now I need a new system based on what has not worked in other countries so that the elite Democrats can be rich.
Good luck because I love our country and wish us all well.
Remember, social security and medicare are going bankrupt followed by Obamacare. No matter what the system I will be fine. But I worry about everyone else.
Thetrust, as in need for Anti-Trust since the Corporations have become ''Too Big to Fail", thank Bush Jr., the Wall Street Republicans and de-regulation. Capitalism has been on the ropes since Mega-Corporations has gained the ability to eliminate competition.
Milo9
What did Bush Jr. and the Wall Street Republicans sign that deregulated anything. I bet you don't have a clue.
The early vote campaign by the Obamas obviously are to get as many as they can before the Prez's popularity and credibility drops even more. Those who will vote for him no matter what won't matter much. Targeted are those who are supporters but becoming doubtul for good reason.
The intelligent voters will wait until after the important debates and as close as possible to the election day. There are still contentious issues about the Prez's involvement in the Benghazi incident that need to be clarified. Refusing to comment on it now citing an "on going FBI investigation" that may conveniently last until after the elections.
Still no retaliatory action from this Administration for the attacks, just a lot of lip and talk about one.

The intelligent voters will wait until after the important debates and as close as possible to the election day.
ROFLMAO @ U
You couldn't be talking about birthers, whacked out tea nuts, and Fox Noise drones.

Obama/Biden 2012
What's the matter Bev, Obama's falling and failing poll ratings getting you down and desperate. More voters are now seeing the true failure and fraud this Prez really is.
oh look its the paid osama shill again. shouldnt you be out knocking on doors and making phone calls for your failure in chief?
I pray to God, unlike the obaamaz, that the people of Ohio are smart enough to not listen to her and Vote Romney/Ryan..and save the great United States of America!!
^ ohio is voting for obama, not for romney who tried to destroy the auto industry, silly.
Couldn't agree with Tad and John more!!!!!! Yes, those undecided, intelligent voters will wait and make absolutely sure they are armed with every bit of information, view every possible word from the candidates, and weigh their choices carefully. NOT all of us our giving up our vote for an Obamaphone or the continued "promises" that never come to fruition.
ScommaG, you are not real sharp with the logic !
Ford is part of the auto industry and they had already set their own turnaround plan in action. Ford took no bailout money.
GM represented a financial bailout of the woefully underfunded Cadillac health plans for union retirees while GM bondholders got screwed vs normal bankruptcy laws. Romney would have let them go through a normal bankruptcy liquidation process. GM went into a manged bankruptcy ANYWAY, and now the U.S. has stock in Government Motors that is worth substantially less than when they bought it. Years of union greed have choked GM.
Chrysler went bankrupt as well, NOT ALL LOANS WERE PAID BACK, and they are now majority-owned by FIAT, an Italian company
Your one-liner is factually incorrect !
obaama biden looser central!!!
I hear Michelle was handing out Obamaphones too. lol.
I wonder if those Obamaphone recipients bothered to read the fine print???
Good job Moochelle.,,,they said that you came to the polls to vote in That stained blue dress, and the Monica Lewinski mask that Bill Clinton gave you . We all know that when you are not wearing it, then Carney, Gibbs, Axle-nimrod, Debbie Was-"semen" Schultz ,Holder, Reid, or Palooozi are wearing it while Obama is chasing them around the white house with his pants down around his ankles , trying to balance the budget! this is a bunch of "idiot" losers we have in washington!
Boot em' all out! Remember on November 6th that the pen is mightier than the sword!
Here he is, folks- another shining example of the party that, since they can't win on foreign policy or economic policy, want you to elect them based on their flawless moral fibre!
Dandy, you are a truly loathsome and disgusting little vermin. I wonder if your parents are proud of you.
Foxtrot*****At least I know who my parents are! It sounds like you are another one of those Osama hussein obamas mistakes. Don't feel bad that you were discarded at birth. Try to get off of those Obama food stamps, get a job, and try to make something of yourself! There is no disgrace in having a job. Good Luck!
The trolls are out in force tonight. Not an intelligent thought between them.
Yeah right? Vote for Romney and tax cuts for millionaire and billionaires.
Starve our poor children.
Take care away from our wounded veterans.
Privatize medicare and social security so you too can die homeless and sick.
Yes vote for Romney for the rich who need more money no matters what happens to America. Why else would Mitt have money stashed all over the world?
Mitt's company Bain were the fathers of the outsourcing for more profits to the middle east. Mitt was a real American while stabbing America in the back. But now he says trust me and my hidden tax returns.
I can't see how anyone would be dumb enough to vote for Mitt the Twit. While President Obama has disappointed me from time to time I am not dumb enough to vote for a republican for anything.
VOTE FOR WOMEN'S FREEDOM...VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT 2012
Nothing is going to change in this nation for another 15 years...makes no difference who is president..get used to it!
Thanks Mike277. Could you pass me another cyanide pill please?
Mike is right. The president and congress are not in control. They are puppets.
Now hear this! Now hear this! We now live in a Plutocracy. The Koch!s, Trump's, and Adelson's now run the country for their own purposes. And we keep voting the way they tell us to or they will take our jobs.
You will only live in a plutocracy if you vote for Republicans who are the puppets of the Koch billionaires. They don't like regulations. Romney had David Koch as a favored delegate at the RNC. Donald Trump, a birther stooge and Adelson a lunatic who thinks republicans care about Jews are also the ones who want republicans to give them more and take away everything from everyone else. They are against regulations and rules. Vote republican and you just might have them drilling in your back yard for natural gas. And it is not the safe and clean process when millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals are blasted down into the earth. Pollution run amok.
I hear ya! loud and clear.
Oh my goodness!!! The tin-foil hats must have been tightened! "Drilling in your backyard!" Really??? That's the best you can do? So I'm guessing that "Energy Independence" really doesn't mean a damn thing to you then does it? But, then again, your hero is the one who single-handedly killed the Keystone Project to cater to his extreme leftist base. And don't forget those 20,000+ jobs this single project would have brought. "How about instead we focus on something that hardly no one wants, but WILL put me in the history books! We'll call this abomination "Obamacare"!" This man's hubris truly knows no bounds...
So Michele has revealed the plan..........VOTE EARLY AND VOTE OFTEN.
Ricky..., works for the Miami Cuban Republicans.
Rick -
Isn't that the democrat motto?
The republican motto is "HATE EARLY AND HATE OFTEN"
Americans First-Your hate, racism, bigotry, and hypocrisy are shinning thru for all to see!!! Obama is a failed president based on his piss poor performance plain and simple. Stop trying to make it something it's not.
The secret weapon is she is one of the 47% she can vote as many times as she wants.
marco...., Miami Cuban Republican???? This group sees it as a legit small business opportunity.
Why not! it can only make up for the voter suppression!!!!!!!! Don't answer, I know! What voter suppression?. Like what what tax cut? I Don't have any stinking tax cut in my plan, where did you get that from?
Is there any information about the demographic breakdowns of early voting? Based on polling, better conclusions could be drawn.
On the Huffington Post they showed that early voting has President Obama with a big lead over Romney. Looking good with the early voting.
Yep, vote early and vote often, the Chicago way!!
Not only the Chicago way Brian, the Liberal way. The only way they will win is by cheating as they are good at that along with lieing. Bozo votes for himself in all 50 states.
So you guys are already setting up your excuse for the huge loss you will have next month?
In your dreams Ricardo!!!!
So ricardo - I expect we can count on you to vote for President Stinky (BO) as often as possible? It's widely known (even in the White House) that there's no way that Stinks can win in a fair election, so that aspect of our system has been thrown under the bus (it's very crowded under there). The only way that Stinky wins is via carefully placed fraud. Chicago knows how to do it, and Stinks and that fat bottomed Moochelle favor it. Stinks got the stink, and Stink's skank's got the stank.
Stinky stinks, and the Stanky Skank, and Biden 2012
