 one of my friends is an attorney who got trained to watch the polls in VA. He’s from DC.
That’s the difference between our supporters and Romney’s wackos. We’re in this to win it because we love, admire, and respect our guy.
And all they do is HATE.
Wow. Reminds me of the crowd somewhere in NE standing in a blizzard.
I love this video, it’s hilarious, especially the fact that every Canadian Comedian, like these guys in this movie totally support PBO.
PPP just released a new national poll showing Obama up by +3! According to PPP, that’s the first time either of the two candidates has lead nationally by more than 2pts in their polling.
Oh good—-Martin Bashir is on—-said there’s a “smell of victory in the air”. Don’t want to count my chickens, but it’s still nice to hear. Hopeful.
It is good for him to be on in Prime Time so that others can see how good his show is…..
Well, there are now 3 MORE “EARLY” VOTES in the bank for my President here in Virginia!
I took my Mom (disabled) and a friend (working on Election Day) with me (I will be doing OFA Voter Protection at the polls on Election Day) to vote in-person absentee here in Richmond. We don’t do true early voting like FL, OH or IA, we do voting early if you have an excuse as to why you won’t be able to vote on Election Day.
Very steady activity at the polling place, with a very diverse group of people voting. Everyone was pleasant, calm, and orderly. Lots of Obama love in the parking lot. Felt so good!
Also, 3 votes for the stellar Tim Kaine and the fiesty Wayne Powell — WOOT!
woohoo! thanks for the report, pj. i loved taking my elderly mother to vote in 2008–her last presidential election. got to help her pull that lever for pbo!! these are family memories that will last and last.
Such a wonderful memory to have.
Don’t want to count my chickens but Bashir said NBC reporter Garett Haake travelling with the Romney campaign said there is an “end is near” gloomy atmosphere on the Romney plane.
It’s been prevalent in Ann Romney’s speeches.
It’s been prevalent in Chuck Todd’s facial expressions.
Thanks for the heads up on Bashir, dotster! I love Martin Bashir.
Come on Chipsticks you don’t have anything from FLOTUS speech today? Or did she do any campaign events today.
She did, and she was fiercer than 1000 suns.
Afraid not A, only saw it live.
Ah, you missed it A, posted a heads up in a previous thread, magnificent speech.
I had to go out this afternoon, and I missed FLOTUS. I’ll survive.
So, the tradition in Casa de LL is that we get absentee ballots, fill them out, then take them to our polling places. So, it saves time, but we still get the thrill of being where democracy takes place.
@Lakers suck, @chelseafc sucks, but @barackobama wins. I can live with that.
wait till ut comes back from her ass kicking tour.
whewwwwww,,,,i am bacjk…TOD Fammmmm….
alot of hustle and bustle in the office…canvassers….data folks and like me phone bankers…..
Fireddddddddddddd Up and Readdddddddddy to Gooooooooooo!!!!!!
Ok, I want people to watch this. This show is Roc, starring Charles S. Dutton, now a big Obama supporter. This was a show on Fox back when good television shows existed and I loved it, because of its commentary on issues of daily life. Here is a show on the 1992 U.S. Presidential Election between George Bush, Bill Clinton and H. Ross Perot.
Don’t know why Vanessa Bell Armstrong popped up on the first video. Here’s the ACTUAL first video.
Dear @GovChristie you are doing an amazing job for the people of NJ. BTW, got quite a chuckle over that gas-bag Rupert. Imagine you did too.
this is for chips and all the tod peeps!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Thank you Susanne!
OMG—(literally)——just heard on Bashir the Romney robocall where he speaks in a dark, spooky voice saying Obama is threatening the Christian religion, threatening your religious freedom. Always the dirtiest of dirty tricks with the Repub Party, trying to scare low info voters again—-along the same lines of past scare tactics—–‘Obama’s coming to get your gun and your Bible.’ Be afraid, be very afraid! Boo!!!
whereas robmey coming to get your job, your granny’s pension, your child’s healthcare, your house, your car, your pocket change, your uterus—pay no attention to that.
donde estas el SS?
I saw them there:) Not to worry!
MSNBC is having the Ed Show now and Martin Bashir tonight at 10:00PM.
Final 2012 DSM Register poll by Ann Selzer, who really knows Iowa, has Obama up by 5, 47-42 over Romney. That's big.
I have read Selzer is a very reliable pollster. Go Iowa.
She’s supposedly the gold standard when it comes to IOWA.
bubbling, stinky, vile.
CNN is depressed. Instead of having pre-election analyses (like MSNBC) instead tonight they are having a marathon of re-runs of the “Romney” and “Obama” documentaries that first aired over a month ago!!
I’m watching football, I’m not watching TeaNN. Can’t stand them, they have become Fox Jr. so to heck with them.
Oh I’m not watching them either. I just noticed from my on-screen TV Guide that they were having these reruns tonight.
We all know what happens when elections are this close. We all remember Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.
2012 is shaping up to be no different. Already this year, we’ve seen hundreds of attempts to disenfranchise voters through complicated ID laws, purges of the voting rolls, and voter intimidation. And according to news reports, a Koch Brothers-funded group plans to challenge voters on Election Day across the country.
We’re sending you this email because you live in an area that is expected to experience problems on Election Day.
In past elections, it took months for the full story of voter disenfranchisement to emerge, and by that point it was too late.
That’s why we’re teaming up with our allies at Video The Vote, which is asking voters like you to be part of massive, nationwide monitoring effort on Election Day.
There are two ways to participate, and both can make a huge difference.
stories through the internet.
2. Be Prepared – If you see anything that looks wrong on Election Day, capture it with your smart phone or camera and then tag it with #VideoTheVote on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, or Ustream —so that the VtV team can find it and push it out to the media.
Whether or not you sign up, please forward this email to friends and family so they know about the effort and that they are prepared to #videothevote.
Over the past two decades the far-Right has used the made-up problem of voter fraud to justify an array of tactics that serve to disenfranchise voters, particularly African Americans, Latinos, poor people, and older voters.
This year, the impact of that disenfranchisement campaign could be huge. The widely respected analyst Nate Silver of the New York Times estimates that just the new voter ID laws could affect turnout in some states by as much as 2.4%. That sounds small, until you remember that the 2000 election was decided by a few hundred votes in Florida.
Election Protection advocates have been fighting this trend every step of the way, and have won some important victories. But no one really knows what will happen until Election Day. That’s where Video the Vote comes in.
And if, god forbid, the election results end up in court, the extent to which the media covers voter disenfranchisement could have a huge impact on how the cases unfold.
So please consider volunteering by signing up with the link below. When you #govote be prepared to #videothevote.
Phone cameras have given Mitt grief in this election – despite his best efforts – people hear what he really believes. That is a really good email explaining what everyone can do to help.
I find it sad that a country like the US has to be concerned about voter suppression and who counts the votes. If it was possible for PBO to pass legislation taking voting out of partisan control – that would be forward and change and everything good.
I feel it sad that this action is necessary, but pleased that the O’Campaign has been, and continue to be, proactive like its leader.
On my voting instructions it said no campaign lit or cameras allowed. So many cell phone?
Hi Chips and TOD Family.
Rest. Pause. Relax. Breathe. Meditate. Pray
