A first-person account: Covering Romney's excellent adventure
Will the polls be right? Is the media telling the truth. Also did the populace believe the least transparent candidate in history, someone who ran from reporters.
What I told you was true from a certain point of view...
Mytth has been lying his arse off...throughout the campaign...
Mitt was against auto bailout, but instead of criticizing Pres. O for moving jobs overseas. It's really Obama's auto bailout that has saved jobs in Ohio, Michigan, and some other states.
Mytth is a professional liar - a hall-of-famer liar.
.
4 more for 44.
Ironically, I watched Revenge of the Sith again last night.
It's sort of amazing that in the movie, the Emperor didn't even try to be subtle, because he knew he didn't have to be because Anakin was so frickin' stupid.
Will the polls be right? They certainly have changed as the race narrows to crunch time. Must keep objectivity as they go to the wire.
Is the media telling the truth? Come on, when has the libbie media ever told the truth?
Has Obama run from the media? No, he avoids them. But we do have smiling Biden who continually ads humor to his side with his mis-stated facts and gaffs. Gotta like the idiot.
Whomever wins will have a difficult time repairing the nation. If Barry is elected, who will he blame for the problems of the previous four years? It's his economy, lack of jobs, rising expense of government, and a lack of foreign/domestic policies.
If Romney wins, he must reach across the aisle to engage the party of NO. If they choose not to be engaged, they're voted out in the mid-terms.
I really don't care whom you vote for - just do it! Many paid the supreme sacrifice for you to have this right.
As a side-bar, congratulations to the OLD GUARD who stood their posts during the hurricane, walking their post at the Tomb of the Unknowns.
Okay Dems help me finish the song, sung to Here comes Santa Claus. I started it lets see how it finishes

How can you say Obama has ran from the media?

From this week's issue next to the Kardashians.

Why did it take a hurricane, hitting the heart of the media world, Manhatten, to provoke a few political journalists to utter the phrase "global warming?"
Does the media feel any obligation, whatsoever, to focus coverage on issues of substance, or is it better for their bottomline to treat elections like just another form of entertainment, a really tedious reality show?
The last guy that cried on the campaign trail, Edmond Muskie, went down in flames. And certainly Mr. Obama was not crying because this was his last campaign stop (albeit, he has spent a considerable amount of his presidency campaigning). He was crying because he obviously fears he is about to lose. And when he does lose he will have no one but himself to blame.His campaign was based purely on attacks and he offered no vision or plan for the future. He tried to, again, run on a slogan, Forward, but all the voters could see was the country going forward into the financial abyss if Mr. Obama were to be reelected. If you were to ask today, election day, Mr. Obama's most ardent supporters what are the specifics of his plan to reduce the national debt, stop deficit spending and create private sector jobs, deal with trade, etc... all you would get are blank stares or maybe some canned talking points devoid of any substance whatsoever. No wonder he wants to play basketball, he has nothing to talk about and offers no leadership. And when you waste a golden opportunity to provide leadership to the greatest country on earth that's something to cry about.
Michael T - I actually think that story line wise - Revenge of the Sith was the strongest of series, although I liked Empire the best.
My post was to see if the sides could read whatever they wanted into it. Some seeing Romney others Obama as running from the Press and not being transparent.
If Obama should win re-election I hope for the following during his next four years:
1. Introduce and pass real energy plan climate change legislation.
2. Implement Bowles Simpson type plan cut spending raise taxes/all Bush Tax cuts gone.
3. Pass jobs bank legislation to address our declining infrastructure.
4. Introduce and pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
5. End Afganistan war, curtail/repeal patriot act and NDAA.
Boy OH Boy!
The right wingers remain classy right up until the end;
Feisty - the guy from my office who is going to be at McCormick Place tonight was supposed to play basketball with the President this morning! Unbelievable!!!!
KingK - you posted the same nonsense a few posts back and were told then how stupid the post was.

Seeking,
Talk about AWESOME!
I'm satisfied attending the victory celebration with you & the rest of the tree-house gang at the Dew Drop Inn tonight!
Romney isn't capable of crying, King, because he is made out of plastic.

The lamestream media is conservative-controlled. Yours is a known Fox propaganda/Palin meme. Get your cryin' hanky ready for tonight's results. :o)
Maybe with ObamaCare you could afford some cosmetic surgery on those yah-boes of yours.
Feisty - that works for me too - unless he can put me in his pocket!!!! Nah! Secret Service would find me. But, he's pretty excited! I'm happy for him - going through some rough times right now so this will perk him up!
The DDI it is!!!!
Obama/Biden 2012
Why do you think that an obstinate congress not working with Obama means he should be voted out, but an obstinate congress not working with Romney means congress should be voted out? You make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Just like your comment about the liberal media - Fox and Rush told you to think that way and you follow blindly? Just because the media is not heavily biased toward your point of view that mean Fox,Rush, and Beck are the only trustworthy news sources? Then why is Fox banned in Canada?
You really are funny - and that's NOT a compliment.
Yellowdog:
I'd like to see Obama veto anything put in front of him for the first 6 months. Let the Bush tax cuts lapse and let the mandatory spending cuts go into effect. Demand tax reform before signing any other bills, then SS reform, welfare reform, and finally immigration reform. Don't allow anything to happen until they start doing the things they're supposed to do.
I also think Obama needs to call out the House for its lack of work ethic. Make public statements about how little they do and ask them what they're waiting for?
I just saw on MSNBC that someone is trying to vote Obama and it shows Romney every time.
@YellowDog
Here in the tri-state area Gerlado Rivera endorsed Romney but is voting for Obama because of immigration. Can I ask what is your idea of comprehensive immigration reform and how will it stop another 12m crossing the border in the next 20 years? I want to know how you think we can stop illegal immigration through reform.

Good Afternoon everyone,
Andy Borowitz says:
how appropriate.
BTW, why did Romney vote in Massachusetts? Where the hell is his legal address?
Getting those "ego defense mechanisms" going a little "early" aren't we ? It sounds like "BO" expects to lose.

you have to promise to remove that freaky Romney picture after today. I'm having a hard time looking at it. I've been damaged by 4 years of Romney governorship and that picture just makes me want to rip my eyeballs out.
SeekingSanity
this is one picture ID that I wish they would check before letting him vote.
People will vote for Obama because the LOVE him.
People will vote for Romney because they were thought to hate Obama.
No one really likes Romney nor his lying mate

I just checked Romney's 2011 tax return and I see that he is registered in Belmont, MA (address blocked).
Here is a pic of his home in MA.
http://www.celebrityhousepictures.com/mitt-romney.php
Alan,NJ - Much as anything else a multi pronged approach.
Increase border patrol security to curtail people's migration. Harshen employeer fines and sentences for illegally hiring undocumented workers, making it unecomomical for employeers to do so. Increase the number of legal applications for work visas and permits. Create a legal guest worker permit for those who seasonally want to work to help construction, farming communities. Implement the dream act as outlined by the democrats. Pass legislation that allows people already here on a pathway to citizenship - Pay fines, get names into system allowing them to pay fed. income taxes, place in line behind legal immigrants. Progressives might shout murder but some sort of E verify system may play a role to differientiate. The guest workers and the pathway folks along with the increased quota folks would have documentation.
Will it stop everyone from coming across, no. However, if employeers don't hire newly arrived immigrants that aren't part of the guest worker program and newly work permited people already here new instances of undocumeted immigrants will stop.
Seeking,
Did you see where he refused to attend the Romney rally last night, even though it was only 20 minutes away? LMAO!
GOPisextinct
I stand corrected, I should have commented on when has Obama given an interview to any media outlet that doesn't have leftest leanings.
Feisty - I did NOT hear that! I swear he'll vote Obama!
Obama/Biden 2012
There will be no joy at McCormick Place tonight, stanky Obama has struck out.
You libtards got a job yet. We warned you!
Maybe Obama will continue the handouts on his dime. He didn't mind paying them out on mine.
Ya think. Get it all out today, I don't see you losers having the guts to be here tomorrow.
Like "How many Angels can fit on the head of a pin?"
Well, at 6AM this morning I was entering the voting booth. It was comforting to know that my vote cancelled out that of Fisty Bedhead!
:O)
WCA
that might depend on how many pinheads you think there are
How about this? Will Etch hit the reset button again after the election? I just shook my 8 ball and it says, "More than likely."
XD
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Quite a few pinheads on the progressive left.
1funnygirl-
Probably so, but I'll bet there are even more on your side of the aisle.
By the way, can't you find a picture that doesn't show your 'pinheads' - or are you that proud of them?
In reality...Pres. O will have an easy victory today despite all the Republicant hot air.
yeah probably. and probably it will rain somewhere sometime today.
SickOfTheBickering
LOL
WCA-
Mostly folks here argue over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, then someone like me comes along and says that angels don't exist...
...and both sides get a common target...
WCA...to me...the most important thing is how pigs fly and how fast. and how pigs fly? maybe in a copter.? Helicopter, that is.
what the heck have i been putting on the top of my Christmas tree. Yes i said Christmas
Just cracked my bottle of Jamie +12 ... here's aiming at you Dangerfield.
edit ... cracked open that is and avoided a valley of tears.
Heck Caesar, Even I have one of those, and my wife loves "Touched by an Angel" too..(Our polling place is a church, BTW)
Going to vote and then to lunch where I will join bcwc in "celebrating" this fun day.
4 years ago the line was down W86th street and wrapped around to Broadway from 9am on.
There is no line today.
My buddy voted in a TENT in Rockaway beach this morning and sent me a pic of his daughter casting her very first vote for President...like I couldn't feel any older...
(Frankie goes to Hollywood...really?)
Dangerfield, I'm trying to find a way to use the phrase "vox populi" in the First Read comment area. I just heard it for the first time yesterday. Can you or Molly use it in a sentence? I thought it meant voice of the people, as in voting, but wikipedia says it refers to man-the-street interviews.
Have at it.
How many conservative hypocrite bleepholes work in the auto industry?
that should have read Anna Molly and "man-in-the-street interviews."
damn iPad!
GOPisextinct
or make lots of moolah from a bailout that they so very opposed?
Geeez, some of you folks have some real anger issues.....
There's a great big beautiful star that sits atop my tree. ; )
The only question still waiting to be answered is how many votes Romney will be defeated by.
And if Romney is the winner, what will you do? Will you accept the will of the people, or go off wanting to know the day after the election: Where are those jobs you promised?
1funnygirl--in the unlikely event that Romney wins, on the night of his inauguration a group of key Democrats will gather and plan how they can defeat his agenda and limit him to one term. Except we'll succeed.
We try to NEVER behave like you on the right wing, funny. Instead of being the obstructionists that the "teabaggers" have been, in the VERY far fetched case that Romney should win, we will remember our duty as the loyal opposition.
Something that YOUR ilk knows nothing about.
The only question still waiting to be answered is will the suicide rate quadruple again if Obama is reelected like it did during the 4 years of his term?
1funnygirl
The winner will be from the will of the Emap. Case in point, look back to 2000. Popular vote doesn't mean much.
The Emap looks better for POTUS. =)
Have a nice day, hottie!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Rocco - the suicide rate is in direct correlation to the economy - which Bush ruined. So, as President Obama continues to help the economy improve, the rate should go down.
Obama/Biden 2012
OMG, Obama is now saving lives!
Why did I ever vote for Romney, when Obama is bringing down the suicide rate! I wish I would have known that before my vote!!!
BTW, (besides military) dentist by profession have the highest suicide rate...followed by other health care professions. Perhaps Obamacare having to do something with that?
Romney can't win tonight because he needs OHIO to win, and that won't be decided for another three weeks. Obama can win without OHIO, but Romney can't.
sirie - no but improving the economy WILL bring suicide rates down. You knew what I meant!
Obama/Biden 2012
Obama has done NOTHING in four years to improve the economy. Four more years of his failed, Keynesian economics will simply add trillions in additional debt ... and Obama will REFUSE to have a budget !
I see that the Black Panthers are at it again in Philly... Well...surprise, surprise...
1ffunny girl....you should ask the agent of orange Boner where the jobs are.....that was the GNOP mantra 2 years ago....of course...you could ask him how many post offices congress renamed...to bad he couldn't pass as many jobs billls as post offices renamed....
GNOP - we don't need no fact checkers...we make up the facts...GNOP CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
C'mon Mythe show us the 1040's - What ARE you hiding?!
Obama / Biden - 4 more!
Paul, calling someone a "Boner" shows us how much class you have... after that all I read was drivel
sheesh..........
SeekingSanity
let's not forget that every 18 minutes a Vet commits suicide. Taking care of those who gave up their mental and/or physical health, their families, and their financial stability should be priority #1 for both parties.
Paul, so sirie can sleep at night, please start using "Orange Man" instead of Boner. See, sirie is ok with all those who use Obummer, Obambo, Odumbo, etc. when referring to POTUS - he never corrects them but Boner is offensive to him.
And we see how well you correct the left when you use childish nicknames like "mittens", and "robme", right? You see it both sides...
JK1963,
Nowhere in my post do I claim out that only one side is guilty of it - as a matter of fact my reference to "Orange Man" should have been a dead giveway but I guess that went over your head.
I'm simply pointing out sirie's super-hypocrisy for correcting name calling only when it fits his agenda. if sirie wants to be above name calling, he should criticize ALL name calling, not just one that is offensive to his obvious BFF.
add to a conversation when you know what you are talking about.
bayllie - add to a conversation when you know what you are talking about. I predict dead silence from JK1963!
Obama/Biden 2012
You know...my mother taught me a valuable lesson that you two should learn...if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything...
Michelle Obama speaking in Fla to a group of only 2600
"Don't let anybody push you out of line," the first lady said, telling those who haven't voted yet to get to the polls early. "Don't let any delays deter you."
Apparently Michelle thinks that people all over the country act the way the Dems do in Chicago and Philly, so she expects violence and intimidation every where. She is only proud of it, however, when it garners votes for Barack.
KingK,
Clearly you haven’t been following the news about all the tactics being deployed by the “poll watchers”.
Actually, the reports/videos show Floridians being pushed out of line by Republicons like Gov. Scott IN FLORIDA!
Not Chitown, or Philly, troll.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
No, Dennis, probably not. One would have to watch something other than Fox Entertainment T.V. to know about the voter suppression tactics, the voter intimidation, the very questionable poll watchers on the right, those being paid by the right to hold up the line, those on the right holding up the line out of their own mean spirited hearts, what Republican Governors and Republican Secretaries of State have done in swing states and battleground states is nothing short of trying to suppress the vote. But, of course, the RWNJ's on this site will call it all bull@!$%# because they watch FOX.
PICKET: GOP - Poll watcher in Detroit threatened with gun, 911 call rejected
←
By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times
November 6, 2012, 12:29PM
Tensions are high all over the country at the polls today. The Michigan Republican Party is alleging that a poll watcher in Detroit on Tuesday morning was threatened with a gun. According to the Michigan GOP the poll watcher's 911 call was rejected. Below is a press release from Michigan Republican Party spokesman Matt Frendeway:

Funny business in Philly: GOP officials booted, Black Panthers return -- and Obama at polling site?
Published November 06, 2012
Shown here is a polling site in Philadelphia with a mural of President Obama.
Operators of a Philadelphia polling place have been ordered by a judge to cover up a mural of President Obama that is emblazoned on a wall behind the voting machines.
The mural was being covered by voter instruction posters -- after Republicans voiced concerns that the painting could influence voters.
The mural, apparently at a school being used as a polling site in Ward 35, contained the words "change!" and "hope," along with a quote from the president and painting of him.
Republicans quickly drew attention to the image Tuesday morning, with one Mitt Romney spokesman tweeting: "Voters in Philly's Ward 35 are being forced to cast their ballots next to this."
"It is an absolute disgrace," said Shannon Royer, deputy secretary for external affairs and elections in Pennsylvania. "Election materials and electioneering inside the polling place are prohibited by state law. This can be interpreted as trying to influence voters inside the polling place. I am told discussions are going on now about covering the mural."
Pennsylvania election law states "no person within a polling place may electioneer or solicit votes for any political party, political body, or candidate, nor may any unauthorized written or printed materials be posted within the polling place."
Follow the 2012 Pennsylvania state race on FoxNews.com
It was one of several controversies surfacing in Pennsylvania's largest city on Election Day.
A Pennsylvania judge also issued an order Tuesday to reinstate Republican election officials across Philadelphia who allegedly were ejected or refused entry by on-site Democratic voting chief judges.
One Republican official claimed that "just under 70" Republican election officials were blocked from Philadelphia polling sites Tuesday morning by Democrats on site. One of them, the official claimed, "was shoved out of the polling place."
"For this many inspectors to be ejected from polling places is rare, even for Philadelphia," the official told FoxNews.com.
Elsewhere in the city, a representative from the New Black Panther Party was also spotted outside a polling site. The New Black Panthers stirred controversy in 2008 when members appeared outside a polling site, one of them holding a billy club. The representative seen Tuesday morning was not armed.

The flap over the election judges, though, was widespread. Republicans claim they are obtaining a series of court orders to seat the so-called election "inspectors," and sheriff's deputies will be available to escort them.
Watch the results pour in like a pro with FoxNews.com's Election Command Center
Despite the high number of officials who were allegedly booted, the dispute itself is not uncommon for Philadelphia. Fred Voigt, legal counsel for the city commissioners, said these kinds of face-offs happen "with regularity" in the City of Brotherly Love.
"It happens all the time," Voigt said. He said court-appointed Republican officials typically show up on Election Day and end up squaring off against stand-in officials at the polling sites filling in the open seats. Part of the problem, he said, is that the Republican inspectors are appointed on relatively short notice, leading to a string of confrontations on Election Day.
"There are no cool heads here," Voigt said.
The on-site election officials are responsible for verifying the identity of voters, and monitoring for signs of fraud or disenfranchisement.

KingK - when you post Fox News as your source, we know it's all garbage!
Obama/Biden 2012
I won't be surprised if there ends up being a report that one of these morons has been beaten to within an inch of his life after harassing the wrong person who'd been standing in line for five hours or longer.
Dennis, Are you talking about the Republican poll watchers that was replaced by Democrats in PA? Republicans had to go to court to get their workers back into the polling place. Why is that Black Panther still standing in front of the polling place? I believe he was the same one that AG Holder dropped the charges on 4 yrs ago.
BTW, I mentioned yesterday, it appears that the easier we make voting the lower the turn out seems. 1960, 1964 & 1968 the turnout average was 61% of eligible voters. Since then it has averaged 53% for yrs 1972 thru 2008.
*shrugs* Because he's a registered poll watcher, just like the thousands of lunatics you guys have employed to make asses of themselves during this election.
Look it up. I found that out through the same news source that KK up there cited in about 30 seconds. He's there because he has a right to be there and no one who's actually voted there has complained about him.
Despite the Fox 'news' story using loaded language to make him sound like a thug casing out a place to rob, they did actually verify the legitimacy of his presence:

I especially liked their characterization of how he was dressed, making him sound like a paramilitary terrorist and the use of the word 'lurked' when describing his activities. Unlike those fine upstanding Republican poll watchers who are staunchly defending our Republic from the hordes of in-person voter fraudsters who have run rampant over so many of our recent elections.
Seeking Sanity
Keep seeking, you are clearly not there yet. Are you denying video and court orders?
Sarge,
I didn't point to either Party
It is an issue with both Parties … why do you assume I am talking about Republicans?
By law Poll Watchers, even the New Black Panthers, are permitted to be there as long as they do not violate any laws. If they break the law they should be arrested and charged.
KingK - always seeking sanity in the GOP but as you and others continue to prove - there is absolutely none there!
Obama/Biden 2012
Dennis,
While it's true, but I would sure imagine that if someone from the KKK stood out front of a polling place, the nation would be all up in arms, right?
This is the question that will be answered, Are we a nation in which angry white men didn't vote in '08, because they couldn't vote for the "other guy," but who are still angry in '12 and now want to vote for their guy? No one can say that America's White males are voting for hope or vision, they are mostly voting out of disgust. Not at all a hopeful sign for the country.
this country is more racist now than 4 years ago...
http://americablog.com/2012/10/racism-racist-obama-poll.html
sirie -not sure the country is any more racist. I just think the racists are more open about it than they were 4 years ago.
Obama/Biden 2012
maybe, maybe not, however I have seen several articles on racism regarding President Obama, as per the link I posted...
As stated in the article, some people that are racist don't even realize it.... strange!!
No sane American should be voting Republican today, unless they have a good depression era cook book in the kitchen.
What a ridiculous statement ... an all-out "carpet-bombing" attack on anyone who would DARE to vote differently than you ! Let me guess .... you probably consider yourself a "Progressive" don't you ? LOL !!
RE-peat-the-lies-to-the-PUBLIC-ans, like jim1455434, haven't figured out that we are all catching on to their CON-game.
Tom,
How about this...noone should make the same mistake they did four years ago?
Wm. get over the race thing......it's old and stale!
Then explain why White males under voted in '08 when they should have been "mad as hell" and voted for something? The women still voted and so too the other groups. White males saw no reason to vote - why?
Kinda like the Republican party.......
Kinda like most of your "borrowed" posts ...
The little old white guy story is out again!
Come on there dude, it is a know truth that women control 50% of the purse strings, and 100% of their viginas.
This election is all about jobs, the economy and debt. The King of the Progressives hasn't done much in any of those areas. With inflation soon to be run-away, women will rule this vote for Romney.
Really? The race thing is old and stale? Tell that to the "teabaggers" of "Steal the Vote" who are suppressing minority rights to vote.
The only common denominator in the counties that they are harassing voters in? Minority districts.
Every news program I tuned into this morning brought up the issue of race as well as gender. But then again, NDDR, that comment was from our resident unfunny troll.
Obama/Biden 2012
Sounds like "Screw the Vote" got kicked out of Ohio polling stations for falsifying documents.
This business of intimidating voters will not stop until these people are jailed.
chick binder
It seems that is not dead but used very often by you the Liberals. See my answeer to the idiot above.
What on earth are you talking about. The reason for a Demi-God. is because some of the liberals Idolize our President Obama and to me that is wrong. As far as the Negro and all the crap that you mentioned I would like to inform you that I'm not only a Latina woman, but I'm also a Negro and I'm not voting for Obama. So what is your point?
Concern do you even know how to post on the correct thread??????
So glad today is your last day! By the by, you're NOT a liberal so please do not attempt to speak for us.
Obama/Biden 2012
The intellectual discourse on FR will increase exponentially when Concern bids us adieu.
God, I would be embarrassed to write like that.
NDDR , Layton - what is so intellectual about what you two idiots just posted.
As far as I'm concern you two wackos can argue among yourselves.
Obama is my current President, and I still have a life outside of FR. What do you two female have? The worst enemy that a female can have is a liberal female. Have a nice day. Romney/Ryan 2012.
Obama/Biden 1 more day for 44.
See what I mean, Layton?
Looking forward to going back to actual discussions with thoughtful people.
Layton and NDD - I'm not sure Concern's IQ even registers - it's so low. I stopped reading her nonsense long ago but I have to admit sometimes it was entertaining - dumb but laughable. And, NDD - yes, it woud be embarrassing to be that dumb and still shout it at the top of your lungs!
Obama/Biden 2012
You mean Blatina is leaving us?
OH NOES!
Crayons have a tendency to do that to people...
Broad gives me a migraine!
America is broken and you NDDR and Layton are the proof. No matter who wins the election, has to fix the divisiveness. FR you have done a great job to foster it. God help you if Romney wins this election and God help Romney if he does not do as he said. I will vote against him in four years.
NDDR, I liked you best when you were a DOG and a HORSE. Please don't lecture me about the Flamingo. Let her rest in peace and let us respect her memory.
Feisty, I'm going to miss you the most. You need someone to give you a big hug and Blatina is not the one to do so.
Me too, Feisty.
Oh dear God, there she goes again. Will someone tell me what in hell concern is talking about?
On second thought, never mind. Life is too short to try to deal with someone like her.
Joke for You Feisty. Dangerfield you will enjoy this one.
The Confused Red Head
Seeking ...
Months and months of being called an idiot, a libtard, and now I've broken America (personally with a little help from NDDR), by one of the most irrational posters on the boards. So ready for you to leave Concern! Please do let the door hit your backside on the way out.
Obama/Biden 2012
Proud to be in your company, Layton!
Layton - anyone who uses "tard" in any way I immediately turn off because it shows their lack of any semblance of character and integrity. YOU broke America - WOW - what a powerful person you are! Could you glue it back together please? LOL! Irrational is a real understatement!
Obama/Biden 2012
You girls are useless. I never called anyone a tard, an idiot, a liberal a wacko and maybe some other names yes, but never a tard. That is feisty's favority word along with her daugher SS.
For now you just have to put up with me.
I guess you and yours, will be the new Order of the USA. God help us all. Too close to call.
The final Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll of Election 2012 shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 48%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate. See daily tracking history.
Concerned sweetie, I know the whole election thing is above your ken, but it isn't about Rasmussen. It is about the Electoral College. And Obama is leading.
Now, do be a good girl and try to read about the Electoral College tonight. K?
NDDR sweetie, you forget that there is 8 or ten states that are toss ups. You are so above yourself that you think you know it all, why don't you get out of your comfort box and go outside and link to the electoral vote below. You are such a sweetheart. Some where in the middle you will find the answer. Now do me a favor and crowl under the rock you came from.

NDD - well now you've gone and done it! You'll totally blow her tiny little mind trying to understand the Electorial College! LOL!
Obama/Biden 2012
Yep. Too complicated for the poor soul.
Notice she goes right back to Rasmussen? As if they are an indicator of ANYTHING?
It is old and stale person.....'Steal the Vote'? Get real. No one is attempting to steal a vote - anyone with the right to vote can. If you can't drive to the poll, many if not all states offer the right to vote by mail. Not difficult to register and perform your right in that manner.
Are you suggesting another 'Al Gore' situation will be required for your side?
Well, funny, explain to me how it is that "Screw the Vote" got thrown out of Ohio polling places for fraud?
This is the Wedding day...
Making a marriage work is the hard part. How will the winner;
Reach out to his opponents to bridge the fiscal chasm?
Reassure the nation that we are on the right track?
Alleviate the housing crisis?
Navigate the swirling international politics and economic turmoil?
Finally begin to replace our crumbling infrastructure?
Strike a balance between tomorrow's energy sources and our current needs?
Provide a strong defense and a realistic foreign policy?
Finally deliver a power grid that can accommodate the nations' needs now and for the rest of the century?
Address the widening gap between rich and poor?
Tonight will be a night of celebration for the winner, but all of our challenges will still be here tomorrow...
its a nice day for a white wedding, its a nice day to start again.
So, Billy Idol isn't before your time...comforting...
lots of things were before my time. I suspect yours too. however tomorrow is a Pyrrhic Victory
Caesar-
Getting through tomorrow is ALWAYS sort of, isn't it?
Would either man ever be strong enough to stand up to their OWN party?
W was a "Uniter not a divider"
O was "No Red America, No Blue America, but the United States of America"
After 12 years of 2 Presidents from opposing parties promising to bring us together...
Who is Billy Idol?
Slate.com actually put together the best collection of questions to be answered...
Will the popular vote winner match the Electoral College vote?
What economic question mattered most to voters...who cares more for them or who handles the economy better?
How much has the electorate changed?
Does Obama’s coalition include white college-educated women?
Who did blue collar white men in Ohio vote for?
Did the relentless ads in Ohio doom Romney?
Did Obama build two different coalitions?
Should Romney have introduced "Moderate Mitt" earlier?
How does Obama do with 18-to-29 voters?
How will the low unemployment swing states vote?
Who had the better ground game?
What is the relative health of the Tea Party?
Did the selection of Paul Ryan change the map at all?
Did seniors get spooked by Medicare?
Did Romney out-perform McCain in his red counties?
Will there be ticket-splitting and are we more purple than red and blue?
I personally think it will show the American public isn't as stupid as Mitt Romney thinks.
And I personally hope the in the age of "I want it now"; which I am apart of, because while in heaven in line for patients and ask could I have it now... I have learned that things come in good time. You can not fix the mess the United States was in four years when the whole world went down the drain at the same time. Yes I do think Bush has the greater responsibility in the mess that we go ourselves into but, the solution relies on us.
And that solution is to continue working the direction we are heading with President Obama.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
H. L. Mencken
Av8tor2 - well said. As we see the dire situations in other countries we should remember that we could easily be there to except for the President's leadership. And, had the Republicans not been obstructionists, we would be even better off today.
Obama/Biden 2012
Caesar Augustus- Well said .
Obama/biden 1 more day for 44 and Unlcle Joe.
Oh no, I'm beginning to sound like SeekingSanity.
Leadership in Libya ??? What a sad joke ... a President who LIED and LIED REPEATEDLY by putting the blame on something else ! Why did Obama repeat the lie so often when he should have known better ??
It is very disheartening to read and hear of the voter supression/intimidation going on in several states....by the GOP.
GOP can not win the election honestly so they are trying to steal it.
Americans....Dems, Independents, moderate Repubs....don't let GOP steal your votes.
Obama/Biden 2012
All GOP huh? How about the early voting Democrats standing in line at the polls to discourage people by thinking it is going to be a long time before they get a chance to vote and then just as it is their turn to enter, they leave the line? "That there is funny I don't care who ya are" - Larry the Cable Guy
talk: If a long line can discourage voters....that would be all voters...right? Dems, Independent, Rebpus....so why would anyone do that?
That is nonsense, and you know it.
Meanwhile the GOP suppression/intimidation is real and has been reported.
Yes, I heard those Black Panthers were intimidating Democratic voters...
and suppressing their votes...this is what you're talking about, right?
Voter suppression at the polls, right? There aught to be a law against that...?
Limited Impact Of New Black Panthers In Pa., Conservative Watchdog Says
Ben Brink, a former Navy Seal who is the leader of a group of conservative special operations veterans traveling swing states in search of signs of liberal voter intimidation, says that the much-touted reports of aggressive New Black Panthers in Pennsylvania has so far been limited to "one dejected, unarmed" man.
"Philly has lots or rumors that we are tracking down, but only one dejected, unarmed NBPP seen so far," Brink told HuffPost by email.
Fox News led the morning with a video of a man wearing a New Black Panther uniform and holding the door open for elderly women as they arrived to vote outside a polling station in Philadelphia.
Brink said there are more reports of sighting in Cleveland that the group is looking into.
"We are tracking them," Brink said. "Hoping for video soon."
Dragon -WOW! Holding the door for someone- how utterly intimidating!!! Sheish - next it will be that there was someone two blocks away that looked at someone funny!
Obama/Biden 2012
That's funny. I saw two at one polling place on the news when I was eating lunch today. Both in their Girl Scout uniforms as one other poster put it today "the only thing missing was the cookies". When they saw the person filming on their cell phone, the younger of the two donned in dark glasses and a full beard, walked toward the person, keeping his distance but if looks could do bodily damage, the cell phone surely would have been shut down.
You can go to the polls and hold the door for people but, why the getup if you aren't promoting your cause (which everyone knows isn't necessarily the one we want our kids to jump on board with).
The questions that the GOP/RNC "Speculator" have to answer for are many America! The IRS, the Department Of Justice, and the Department will have alot of questions for him very soon. The IRS is starting the auditing of the GOP "Tax Cheater's" Tax Returns from 1996 to 2009. Now there are a ton of many unanswered questions their America! The GOP "Outsourcer" will have the Department Of Justice asking questions about his Delphi deal. He ripped off the American Tax Payers in 2009. What the Bain Trained Speculator is now doing in Freeport Illinois. Has the Department of Commerce asking alot of questions. America does not need a "Crooked Boss" running America into the ground with 'momentum.' Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The whole Party Of NO has got to go!! The Tea Begger's committed treason on Janruary 20, 2009 at the Caucus Steakhouse Restaurant in Washington D.C. It is called the "Caucus Conspiracy."
Ha! I knew that low down dirty sneeky bedsalesman he is.
I hope that will come to fruition! I hope you are correct!
Caucaus Conspiracy stopped in its tracks if POTUS pulls this off today!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Vote for President Obama like your middle class life depends on it! IT DOES!
4 MORE FOR 44!
The questions can not be answered tonight as they are:
who knew and authorized Fast/Furious,
who is responsible for Trooper Terry's death,
why was no aid sent to Libya when POTUS said do it,
did administration know about earlier attacks and why no action to increase defense,
when did the POTUS know it was not a spontaneous attack and how that compares to the 16 days of telling Americans that it was the movie,
why the suits against AZ and Sheriff Arpaio were dropped after much costs and politicizing,
who is responsible for submitting a budget that no Democrat could vote to support,
and what are the real costs for Obamacare?
Reelected or not, these must have answers.
In Pennsylvania, people are standing outside the polls asking for their I.D.s,” Dean said. “A federal judge has enjoined them from doing that, but that’s what’s happening.”
“That’s a big charge,” said NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd. “Do you think the president could – do you believe if he loses Ohio, it will be because of voting irregularities?”
“I do,” Dean replied without hesitation. “Given the vote and the leading in the polls in Ohio, the only way he can lose is if people are prevented from casting their ballots
If the GOP message is so great, why must they resort to cheating?
Common Cause says report from Fayette County PA that GOP operative poll watchers are asking voters their name and saying they can't vote.
AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker just issued a statement:
"We are hearing reports from Pennsylvania that voters continue to receive misinformation about voter ID. Voters do not need photo ID to vote in this election and those who don’t have photo ID shouldn’t be turned away. First time voters will need to show some form of identification but a photo is not required. In the greatest democracy in the world we should be ensuring that everyone has access to the polls regardless of where they live or who they are voting for. We will continue to monitor these issues throughout the day and work to inform voters of how they can protect their vote."
An Oregon election worker under criminal investigation for changing ballots to help Republican candidates was fired, according to The Raw Story.
Clackamas County spokesperson Tim Heider said in a press release Monday that Deanna Swenson, 55, was "relieved of duty immediately after the alleged ballot tampering was discovered."
Reports Of Voter Suppression Emerge In Cincinnati
Ohio blog the Plunderbund is receiving complaints from voters in Cincinnati:
An Allegheny County judge issued an order to halt electioneering outside a polling location in Homestead.
County officials received a complaint shortly before 10 a.m. Tuesday that Republicans outside a polling location on Maple Street in Homestead were stopping people outside the polls and asking for identification.
The order states: “Individuals outside the polls are prohibited from questioning, obstructing, interrogating or asking about any form of identification and/demanding any form of identification from any prospective voter.”
Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Guido A. DeAngelis, one of two judges overseeing Elections Court, issued the order and said such actions by partisans “could have a chilling effect” on voting.
Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning, who also is overseeing the court this morning, said the only people permitted to ask for ID are the poll workers inside the voting locations.
Dragon-1573721. The US Justice Department needs to get involved here big time! Get the word out my fellow citizens. Our nation must protect the right for every citizen to vote. The US Marshalls need to start making arrests. Big Time!

Registered Philadelphia Voters Complaining They're Being Told To Cast Provisional Ballots
The Philadelphia City Paper reports:
And the party affiliation of those being denied ballots?
king: The party affifliation doesn't matter does? Although Philly is predominately Dem and would be voting for President Obama.
Are they dead people or illegal immigrants? They are for Obama (his base).
I feel that this might be another Bush/Gore result. With Pa already having problems with there voting machines. When voted for Obama it registers under Romney. In Ohio you have alot of at home voters. Then with sandy in north east might put a damper on the vote also with the not electric and 20 of the 60 voting areas up in New York.
