People wait in a line that wraps around the University of Cincinnati campus hours before President Obama is to speak at a campaign event at the Fifth Third Arena, Nov. 4
7:55 ET: President Obama delivers remarks at 5th/3rd Arena, Cincinnati
Can I come to your house? Sounds good to me. Hate cooking for myself. How is your wife doing LL? I hope she is getting better and not too much complications. (((((((hugs ))))) to you both.
Cauliflower gratin made with gruyere cheese, shallots, splash of sherry and panko crumbs. Accompanied by some undetermined thing my wife is bringing…………….. SPAM!?!?!?!?!?
THE LOVE!!! I FEEEL THE LOVE!!! I WOULD have stayed transfixed on TOD but other life-al STUFF intervened. We actually ate at Denny’s. GACK! No offense to any Denny’s fans, cooks, employees…etc. The 11 year old boy wanted pancakes and eggs. It wasn’t that bad. … really. Not in a hurry to go back though!! The wife brought home an overpriced Whole (paycheck) Foods stuffed beef roast thing. It looks good!
We had the roast and potatoes on this end too! I tried a different recipe to cook the roast in the oven. I cut it up in pieces, (cut the pieces away from the fat), browned them, browned some onions and garlic, cut up the potatoes. Then dumped some beef broth, onions, garlic, the browned beef in a pan, covered it tight and let it ride for 3 hours. Hot damn…tender, delicious and now we have an empty pan. 🙂
perhaps he’s after the consolation prize of trying to win the popular vote…so when they lose the EC vote, they have bragging rights that country is more divided. this is the only reason I can think of why they are trying to go into deep blue states
Well, it was on the Steelers – Giants game, so it may have been a national ad buy. But even if it was, it was a great waste of money, rather than the targeted ads of the Obama campaign.
Here’s my wish. On November 8th we stop talking about and posting pictures/tweets of and about Willard forever. I am so sick of this guy. I don’t ever want to see his ugly face again after his concession speech.
I’m with you on that Tien Le, I tuned in too early to the CBS link a while ago and saw his repulsive, lying, shitty, pathetic, sleazy, weasel face on my screen. Felt ill.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but my son told me he saw a Romney rally a while ago (on FOX) in Pennsy. At the end, they lit off fireworks and Romney jumped a mile thinking it was a shot. Don’t want anybody shot, ever, but I must admit I (a) laughed inside that it scared him, and (b) thought about Ann’s comment on his mental stability. Just sayin’.
I do not have CSPN or CNN…..grrr Im stuck here in Jamaica watching MSNBC…boo. Anyways I must tell you Chips that, that toad Chuck Todd deserves to be pelted with rocks everytime he goes out for the tripe he tries to selll the American public. I pray to God that the journalist in my country does not adopt any of this hack style. I hope he knows the world watches him and we shake our head in shame.
There is a saying where I live that goes Forward ever….Backward never! So its foward to electing PBO on Tuesday guys the rest of the world is watching and my little Island is rooting for the President.
I just spoke to a friend of mine from Canada and she said that all Canadians wish they could come down on Tuesday to vote for PBO. She also said that she and her fellow Canadians would happily join us in rioting if Willard were to win.
I love President Obama!
I love Vice-President Biden!
I love David Axelrod!
I love Mr. ‘Brain’ Plouffe!
All very intelligent determined hard-working, diligent winners!
I’m not sure which is better. That it’s 52% or that it’s the final one. Please end this thing and put the Romneys back to counting their millions in tax dollars saved cheating their fellow citizens.
You know, a 2 or 3 point win in Ohio is at least 200k votes.
The GOP might be able to knock off maybe 50k with their suppression tactics.
We still have the numbers, if everybody is not intimidated.
This is why polls, as infuriating as they are, are important. If the polls show an overwhelming Obama victory, it becomes impossible for GOP dirty tricks to be employed.
I won’t bother replying directly to that gentleman/lady, as his/her sense of victimhood makes him/her part of the real 47% who think they’re victims, oppressed by evil liberals, and is thus beyond reach. But a few points have to be made
His perception that we want to kill him is projection of the grossest sort. Eliminationsim is a staple of the Right, not the Left. Do I want to kill him? Of course not. But I do want the Right’s influence in American life to be as negligible as possible.
Sheila enumerated the fallacies in his “pro-life/cheap energy” rationale for voting for the Right. We can pump all the oil out of the ground in the US, and it won’t move the price of energy down one scintilla; energy markets are global, and prices are set on those markets. Now, if he’s arguing that we should keep our oil for ourselves, then the question should be “What do we do when we run out of oil?” And if we were to do that, that would be a pressing question. But, such a question would puncture his bubble, so better not to ask it.
As for being pro-life? I have great arguments with the Catholic Church of my upbringing; but I can grudgingly respect it because of the fact that its pro-life position is absolute; it’s against abortion, but also against war and the death penalty. It’s for caring for the person throughout his life. Most of those on the Right have a fetish for the fetus, without a parallel concern for the child once it’s born. After you exit the womb, you’re on your own. If that isn’t anti-life, I don’t know what is. And of course there’s the support for the death penalty and the proud militarism.
The Gustapo, I mean Husted on CNN, trying his best to disenfranchise voters.
At most he will disenfranchise maybe 1000 voters, with his BS provisional ballots cry.
He just wanted Don Lemon to interview him, to demoralize the AA community, before Tuesdays Vote.
It’s a dirty trick…!
I would think, that AA would not be deturred after all they have been through!
It might, in fact, motivate our whole Base.
I hope POTUS touches on it, at Rally.
LL, at first I thought they might have been one of the ingredients in your evening feast. Needless to say, I didn’t click the link – I suspect I would not have found Canadian geese there. Or maybe I would – geese in uncompromising photos?
One quick story from my trip to Appleton Wisconsin; it’s a 3 hour drive from Chicago and I decided to listen to the radio and not turn the political ads off. OMG, non-stop. But the Obama/Baldwin were matching the Romney/Thompson ones so that was good. Most hilarious though was an ad for Lyin Ryan. It had this woman saying ” I understand that Paul Ryan’s name is shown on the ballot twice. Is that legal?” And then some guy says, “Yes, it is legal and you should vote for him twice. Once for Vice President and once for your congressman.” LMAO. Having to pay for advertising to keep his back-up plan.
President Obama is monitoring the federal government’s response to Hurricane Sandy even as he spends the day crisscrossing the country to close out his re-election campaign.
Obama got an update by conference call Sunday from senior White House aides and two administration officials on the ground in the region: Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.
“The president made clear that he expects his team to stay completely focused on meeting the needs of our state and local partners, and the families that have been impacted by the storm,” the White House said after the briefing.
According to the White House, the Defense Department and FEMA are still bringing fuel into the region. The Energy Department also said Sunday that it’s formed a team that is working with state and local authorities to identify gas stations running short of fuel supplies or without power and in need of emergency generators.
To date, some 164,000 Connecticut, New Jersey and New York residents have also applied for FEMA help and the agency has approved more than $137 million for rentals and other forms of aid to people affected by the storm, the White House said.
Fugate is in New York Sunday to view damage in Queens and also visit with Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York Mayor MIchael Bloomberg and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. Napolitano was scheduled to visit Monmouth County and Hoboken, N.J., and also meet with Gov. Chris Christie and other New Jersey state and local officials.
Tien Le, the only time I have actively listened to Mitt is during the final presidential debate – I always mute him. However, I will listen to him one last time when, after he concedes victory to PBO Tuesday night, he turns on the pseudo journalists such as Todd, Tapper and Gregory and demand an explanation for their gross misrepresentation of his true status during the campaign. Why did they mislead him with false reporting of how the American people really felt about his bid for the presidency?
Mitt will blame Ann and the five “kids” for his loss, plus Chris Christie, plus everyone on his campaign team, and maybe some Olympians from the old days in SLC, Bibi for denying they were friends, and Seamus, the company who hired the “illegal” when he was running for office for god sake, and Teddy Kennedy’s words on video, and then he’ll blame Todd, Tapper and Gregory. My take.
What an exciting, busy day! I knew that PBO would have lots of treats for us as we headed down the stretch. It’s been an amazing campaign! That Florida welcome was outstanding. I could feel the love through my screen.
Well, I’m getting ready to get on an OFA conference call to make last minute preparations for voter protection on Tuesday, and then I’m gonna watch the Seal Team Six movie on NatGeo.
No ‘fair’ you two. I don’t have Nat. Geo. channel, so I’m going to just sit here and salivate knowing I’ll never see it. Sniff! Sniff! 😆 😆 Kidding – take good notes so you can retell the entire thing for folks like me.
{{Theo67}} ♪♫Have I tolllld you lately that I loooove you?’♪ Something to look forward to for after the election! Life is good. Life is very, very good! How are YOU, T?
I’m nervous as all get out. I spent the day with some Republican friends – not a good idea this close to the election. They are even arguing against a California proposition to label genetically modified food, simply because they don’t care about that stuff. Yikes! I’m desperately catching up on the day’s happenings here on TOD, just to get my spirits back up.
Sorry to hear you are nervous, but I know hanging in the village for a bit will take care of that. 😉 You are a stronger soul than I because I isolate myself from the naysayers so they have no chance of affecting my spirit. And my group are not genuine naysayers, they just listen to the wrong (media) people. After trying once to tell them their sources were tainted, and hearing them start to justify the variety of sources saying the same thing, I just said forget it.
My Republican friends are all one percenters, so they tend to get selfish. I should have known better, this close to the election. Anyway – my spirits have improved greatly after a couple of hours of catching up here. 🙂
😀 Best tonic in the house is TODville! Now don’t go back to work tomorrow and spoil this upbeat trend. Hang tight to it till Wednesday morning, when you can then wave it under their noses.
& ps: Want me to introduce you to some average, but sensible, friends? 😉 😉
I’ll take a raincheck on the sensible friends for now. Heading to work tomorrow, but taking the next three days off for politics and recovery from the massive celebration…! 😉
Anyone else hear the count on the feed? 13.5K in room 2K in overflow. …and she doesn’t sound too excited about Stevie Wonder. Wonder I’d she knows her mic is hot? LOL
VeepJoe and PBO have the same values, love their wives, are family men, and both very very loyal. I want to mention I was in love with Joe Biden way before I ever heard of Barack Obama. VeepJoe was an awesome Senator and he authored the Violence Against Women’s Act. The First daughters and VeepJoe’s granddaughters go to the same school and they’re friends. I love that.
What were they all doing at a Romney rally anyway? What a waste of time…i hope their parents end up voting for President Obama based on this incident, lol. Quite telling of who these Romney people r…UGH
Good evening Chips and TOD family. I do feel the tide turning for Obama. I love how the people are fighting for the right to vote. I am on the sad side for my state of MT. Looks like the Tea Party is taking over MT. I am pissed at OFA for not allowing the offices here to call people in MT. We were all told that we were going to loose MT so why fight for it. We look like we might loose Tester too, so now we will have to put up with Rehberg. I wish they would have allowed us to work for our state. I am depressed for us. But I do the country will be in good hands with Obama.
Thank you Chips for keeping this such a wonderful place for us to come. It has been a heaven for me. Last week my husband had his left hip replaced. In January he had his right hip replaced. I sure am ready for these operations to be all over. He is doing wonderful, but the first few weeks are exhausting for me. He did have an extra surgery on Monday. The surgical team and the doctor left an extra pin in his leg and had to go back in to take it out. 2 surgeries in one day was alittle scary but everything is fine now.
All of you wonderful people who come here daily to participate and to share information. I am so thankful twitter!!!!
Hi MtM, it’s good to hear that things are better now for your husband after two surgeries. I know it’ll be hard to do under the circumstances, but do try to take it easy WHENEVER YOU CAN. {{Mtmarilyn}}
it can really wear on you, to be the one worrying and caregiving for your spouse. my husband had a hip replaced in january, too, and i can’t imagine facing it again so soon. and with all that, you still made time, you still found energy to work for our president’s re-election, and for the dems in your region. hats off to you, mm, and thank you for being exactly the kind of person our president always talks about–caring for others, doing your best, and staying positive through the hard times! i hope you have some good friends and family near by to help out. and i know you’ll be dancing for two on tuesday night!!
This is a question for Tien Le if he is still around. A few threads back, you were counting Obama’s base votes and you left out New Hampshire and Hawaii. Was that intended or an error?
Are u serious? I was wondering what’s going on…how rude! Geez…i like how he is saying it’s ok, we’re ok…I am glad he deals so well with criticism and adversity. Is someone going to kick the hecklers out?
Good evening nfolks. My little prediction. In just over 48.5 hours, we will all be able to rest easy. At that time, although the full 270 EVs won’t have been reached yet, it will be in the bag based upon those states that have been called for PBO. There will be no possible path for Romney. In fact, by that time it will be obvious that PBO doesn’t even need Ohio, although he will win it anyway.
Awwww….and they got stomped didn’t they?? Good…serves them right. alright gotta go and start gettin’ my wig busted. Putting in a relaxer so that I look cute Tuesday night. lol
‘They only have hate’… and stupidity! Of all places to go to heckle the President they choose ‘the middle’ of a major wrap-up event? They are lucky the President has the temperament he has, and is leader enough to set, and enforce, a peaceful tone. Unless they did it on purpose, hoping for a (physical) confrontation that would make headlines and therefore cause some ‘lost momentum’?
forever indeed. this election has galvanized our attention, but it’s one [very big, very important] fight in an ongoing resistance to the powers of greed and opression. we don’t buy anything from dow chemical in this household, and bayer aspirin has been banned since ww2!! still feel a little funny buying grapes…
Interesting. Verrrry interesting. I can’t remember ever hearing you say it was too early for drinking …water. It was always ‘it’s the right time SOMEwhere in the world’. I’ll have to ponder the fact that it can be too early for one but not for the other.
Yea, some Florida polls with Romney leads today. And in fact of all the polls released in the past week (10/29 till today),11 polls in total, Obama leads 4, Romney leads 6 and 1 is tied. Add the crazy shenanigans RIck Scott is doing with early voting times and it is looking less likely. Not lost by any means, but certainly less safe than say Ohio or even Virginia.
It’s the end of day two of the marathon staging location director job and I reached a wall of exhaustion. Now regrouping to gather strength for the last two days. We are focusing on the Latino dominated wards, which have been targeted by the president’s campaign and are finding very high levels of enthusiasm for PBO. Our task now is to get them out the door on Tuesday. All our canvassers say that they are getting very welcome receptions at Latino homes and have never had so much fun hitting the doors. Living in a red county, they’re basking in the rare pleasure of finding so many supporters who are happy to see them. I can tell you that the name Romney is almost a curse for some Latinos. He has certainly managed to cut a huge swath of anger among these voters. Much as people love PBO, the anger is serving as a nice motivator for getting sporadic voters to the polls. Night all. I’m fast getting past the point of coherent thought. Two more days!!!
He danced with **me**, and there was no delusion about it. My spirit danced with his, while I sang along with Stevie in a beautiful voice. I saw and experienced it all, smiling throughout, and you both can’t say otherwise just because you didn’t see. Doesn’t psychology believe imagination is a good thing (particularly in the young)? So there! 😀
That’s the beauty of it all, ain’t it, LS? We can both lay claim to that special dance, along with many others, I’d bet. A president for the people and of the people, and a lovely human being.
Forus50, I am totally with you and AMK! Also, too, the way Nebraska is trending I think he will win one electoral vote from there giving him 348EVs. I am also not yet counting out Arizona given the level of Latino/Hispanic enthusiasm that the polls may be missing. The President may end up with 359EVs on Tuesday. So, my range is 347-359 EVs for my Great President.
Did anyone notice at the end of his speech he pointed to two separate points in the audience and asked if they were alright? This was before he started dancing with me.
A measure of a man is how he cares for the least of us and all that jazz. I bet those people appreciated that. If you missed it check when it becomes available. Very touching -and personal- the more so because it was in the midst of the jubilant, screaming crowd.
Actually, he did that, as well. But he also turned and pointed into the crowd in front of the stage and indicated a problem, then turned to his left and pointed and mouthed something like ‘are they ok?’ …
The Obama Diary 
Thanks Chips!
Talk about rats jumping from the rapidly sinking Titanic … that’s really funny, LL!!!

Roasted turkey breast
Mashed taters
Stuffing
Roasted asparagus
Simple, but comforting
Can I come to your house? Sounds good to me. Hate cooking for myself. How is your wife doing LL? I hope she is getting better and not too much complications. (((((((hugs ))))) to you both.
Still going to the bathroom more than she should, but I think the antibiotics are evening out. She has 5 more days on them.
Asapargus? And all my other fave things. LL, how could you do this to me? HOW?!?!
As I keep saying, if you’re ever in L.A., a home-cooked meal awaits. With good CALIFORNIA wine.
Cauliflower gratin made with gruyere cheese, shallots, splash of sherry and panko crumbs. Accompanied by some undetermined thing my wife is bringing…………….. SPAM!?!?!?!?!?

I love his turn outs on the campaign trail.
Cspan has Robney speech instead.

alright loving this speaker at the rally 🙂
Wow, a Romney commercial in L.A. BWAHAHAHAHA.
perhaps he’s after the consolation prize of trying to win the popular vote…so when they lose the EC vote, they have bragging rights that country is more divided. this is the only reason I can think of why they are trying to go into deep blue states

Hiya Phillyinja, +1,000,000,000 on Chuck Todd and the rest – shameful, the lot of them. Hope all’s good with you!
I just spoke to a friend of mine from Canada and she said that all Canadians wish they could come down on Tuesday to vote for PBO. She also said that she and her fellow Canadians would happily join us in rioting if Willard were to win.

Hi Everyone! Getting ready to watch POTUS speech as I haven’t seen any in a few days, lol. How about this in Ohio? 52%.
I’m not sure which is better. That it’s 52% or that it’s the final one. Please end this thing and put the Romneys back to counting their millions in tax dollars saved cheating their fellow citizens.

Please. I like toast.
BOOYAH!
reminds me of that poll that had more married women voting for Romney……hmmmmmmmm
A young lady at the staging area I just left had a call just like this one 😀
My response to a commenter on my TPV piece:
The Gustapo, I mean Husted on CNN, trying his best to disenfranchise voters.
At most he will disenfranchise maybe 1000 voters, with his BS provisional ballots cry.
He just wanted Don Lemon to interview him, to demoralize the AA community, before Tuesdays Vote.
It’s a dirty trick…!
I would think, that AA would not be deturred after all they have been through!
It might, in fact, motivate our whole Base.
I hope POTUS touches on it, at Rally.
Just checked the spam folder on the blog: lots of stuff about Canadian geese. ** Confused ** VC? Was that you? 😕
Canadian geese? That’s just odd.
LL, at first I thought they might have been one of the ingredients in your evening feast. Needless to say, I didn’t click the link – I suspect I would not have found Canadian geese there. Or maybe I would – geese in uncompromising photos?
NO! I always use my own name or initials. Plus, don’t you know my style of writing yet, CC? I don’t deal in cats, turtles or fowl!
But do you deal in ………. geese?
Can’t even recognize one, so who knows? 😉

My take.
And Rafalca, for a poor Olympic performance.
But Rafalca put in a great performance on Twitter, eh?
🙂
Even Twitter Rafalca had little patience for Ann and Willard.
So if the Republicans remain true to form, will we see Tagg Romney on Dancing with the Stars next season?
What an exciting, busy day! I knew that PBO would have lots of treats for us as we headed down the stretch. It’s been an amazing campaign! That Florida welcome was outstanding. I could feel the love through my screen.
Well, I’m getting ready to get on an OFA conference call to make last minute preparations for voter protection on Tuesday, and then I’m gonna watch the Seal Team Six movie on NatGeo.
Gonna be a PERFECT evening, woot!
To hell with Gallup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And 50-46 among RVs. More like the probable margin. Gallup haz a sad about their boy going down.
Just like Linda MacMahon, the Gallup rat is abandoning ship.
WOW those folk in OH are FIRED UP!!!!
VP Biden is now being introduced by Dr Jill Biden – CNN … btw
Ok, Bin Laden film is on!
Yes, my TV on Nat Geo and my DVR is recording away!!
No ‘fair’ you two. I don’t have Nat. Geo. channel, so I’m going to just sit here and salivate knowing I’ll never see it. Sniff! Sniff! 😆 😆 Kidding – take good notes so you can retell the entire thing for folks like me.

😀 Best tonic in the house is TODville! Now don’t go back to work tomorrow and spoil this upbeat trend. Hang tight to it till Wednesday morning, when you can then wave it under their noses.
& ps: Want me to introduce you to some average, but sensible, friends? 😉 😉
I’ll take a raincheck on the sensible friends for now. Heading to work tomorrow, but taking the next three days off for politics and recovery from the massive celebration…! 😉
Great minds! I blocked off those same days so that I won’t be called for work, because unblocked I never know what to expect, or when.
It’s going to be a thrilling ride for the next few days!
Yep, a fitting culmination for the years of obstruction, and what all!
Ooooooooooh: PERFECT!!!!
hahahahaha….BoooooooooooM!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
So, are the right wingers saying that it was divine intervention?
I’m hearing that at this rally there are 2000 in the overflow room for PBO….
Another great Halloween story: a Halloween candy polls and guess who wins 😉 Cute picture!

This is just sick ….
This is the tweet I thought I had posted …
Anyone else hear the count on the feed? 13.5K in room 2K in overflow. …and she doesn’t sound too excited about Stevie Wonder. Wonder I’d she knows her mic is hot? LOL
I spy Stevie Wonder!! 😆
OMG, this Seal Team 6 film is starting out kickass, with our kickass president front and center.
Recording to view b/w rallies.
I’ve got the rally on the laptop, lol!
Ok, taping the second showing.
PBO UC rally 15,000 and 2000 in overflow area. watching right now!
VP Biden just finish his speech in Ohio. I love that guy, he is a darn good VP and friend to President Obama.
VeepJoe and PBO have the same values, love their wives, are family men, and both very very loyal. I want to mention I was in love with Joe Biden way before I ever heard of Barack Obama. VeepJoe was an awesome Senator and he authored the Violence Against Women’s Act. The First daughters and VeepJoe’s granddaughters go to the same school and they’re friends. I love that.
The WLWT mic is hot!!
VP Biden is roasting Mitt over the vast Jeep lie …
Tuesday is taking longer than usual to arrive / 😀 / but don’t worry, it’ll soon be here. Duh? 🙄
the crowd is singing along with “lets stay together” that was great 🙂
.. and doing the wave! Wish I was there! 😀
me too, I’ve never been to a rally.. looks like I’ll never get to one, not an Obama one at least. 😦
What were they all doing at a Romney rally anyway? What a waste of time…i hope their parents end up voting for President Obama based on this incident, lol. Quite telling of who these Romney people r…UGH
VP Biden is livid. He has gone all in on Mitt’s desperate dishonesty with the American People.
Good evening Chips and TOD family. I do feel the tide turning for Obama. I love how the people are fighting for the right to vote. I am on the sad side for my state of MT. Looks like the Tea Party is taking over MT. I am pissed at OFA for not allowing the offices here to call people in MT. We were all told that we were going to loose MT so why fight for it. We look like we might loose Tester too, so now we will have to put up with Rehberg. I wish they would have allowed us to work for our state. I am depressed for us. But I do the country will be in good hands with Obama.
Thank you Chips for keeping this such a wonderful place for us to come. It has been a heaven for me. Last week my husband had his left hip replaced. In January he had his right hip replaced. I sure am ready for these operations to be all over. He is doing wonderful, but the first few weeks are exhausting for me. He did have an extra surgery on Monday. The surgical team and the doctor left an extra pin in his leg and had to go back in to take it out. 2 surgeries in one day was alittle scary but everything is fine now.
All of you wonderful people who come here daily to participate and to share information. I am so thankful twitter!!!!
Hi MtM, it’s good to hear that things are better now for your husband after two surgeries. I know it’ll be hard to do under the circumstances, but do try to take it easy WHENEVER YOU CAN. {{Mtmarilyn}}
Thank you VC, I so appreciate your contributions to this wonderful site and to our President!
I am grateful to YOU for the many times you have helped me to give my tweets extra legs.
it can really wear on you, to be the one worrying and caregiving for your spouse. my husband had a hip replaced in january, too, and i can’t imagine facing it again so soon. and with all that, you still made time, you still found energy to work for our president’s re-election, and for the dems in your region. hats off to you, mm, and thank you for being exactly the kind of person our president always talks about–caring for others, doing your best, and staying positive through the hard times! i hope you have some good friends and family near by to help out. and i know you’ll be dancing for two on tuesday night!!
So far, this Movie is extremely favorable to the President.
Just saying!
Yes – I’m going to watch it as soon as this rally is over. I’m hearing some good things on Twitter so far.
Ou’re making me soooo jealous! Ugh!
I don’t got no National Geographic station!! I’m so pizzed! I’m gonna cry! Can’t watch the Seal Six movie!! 😦 😦 😦
seriously? they’re going to tune out the intro by the woman to look at the reporter??
Are you watching from the WLWT feed? Watch from the CBS feed instead. It’s much better than the WLWT feed.
thanks have changed the feed, great idea hf 🙂
And I just noticed that the CNN feed is even better (volume wise).
cnn is where I ended up because I couldn’t hear at cbs.. that seems to happen a lot.
Oooooh! PBO looking so sexy! 😉
Cincinnati is ROARING!!!
This is a question for Tien Le if he is still around. A few threads back, you were counting Obama’s base votes and you left out New Hampshire and Hawaii. Was that intended or an error?
wha tjust happened?
Heckled.
I had just stepped away for a sec and missed it. Figured it was some foolishness like that. PBO always handles everything with grace.
“……. – they’re all class, these people.”
***freaks*** — there, fixed it for ya, Chippie!
What just happened that they’re looking at, cheering and he’s chuckling about? 🙂 🙂
Heckled.
PBO being heckled! Seriously?! Drowned out by chants of “4 more years!” He laughed so hard!
Where he being heckled?
Are u serious? I was wondering what’s going on…how rude! Geez…i like how he is saying it’s ok, we’re ok…I am glad he deals so well with criticism and adversity. Is someone going to kick the hecklers out?
Good evening nfolks. My little prediction. In just over 48.5 hours, we will all be able to rest easy. At that time, although the full 270 EVs won’t have been reached yet, it will be in the bag based upon those states that have been called for PBO. There will be no possible path for Romney. In fact, by that time it will be obvious that PBO doesn’t even need Ohio, although he will win it anyway.
Desperate Willard supporters trying to crash PBO’s party……hahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahahaha! No wonder PBO got a laugh outta it. 🙂
Awwww….and they got stomped didn’t they?? Good…serves them right. alright gotta go and start gettin’ my wig busted. Putting in a relaxer so that I look cute Tuesday night. lol
I wonder if the heckler were shown the door. In other word his ass kicked out.
I hope so.
I’m pretty he was a GOP paid heckler
seriously Bob, that heckling at that time of his speech was so classless.
Yes, Sheri, they have no class. They only have hate.
‘They only have hate’… and stupidity! Of all places to go to heckle the President they choose ‘the middle’ of a major wrap-up event? They are lucky the President has the temperament he has, and is leader enough to set, and enforce, a peaceful tone. Unless they did it on purpose, hoping for a (physical) confrontation that would make headlines and therefore cause some ‘lost momentum’?
forever indeed. this election has galvanized our attention, but it’s one [very big, very important] fight in an ongoing resistance to the powers of greed and opression. we don’t buy anything from dow chemical in this household, and bayer aspirin has been banned since ww2!! still feel a little funny buying grapes…
While you at it, add Papa Johns shitty pizza, the Olive Garden, Wendy’s…I know there’re others, but can’t recall them now.
GM folks.
So what’s up?
(He’s back)
And GM to you too, Chips
🙂 Morning fella!
Good morning amk!! 🙂
GM Bob
Good Monday Morning, Amk. / Back again before I’ve bestirred myself! / Did you at least have breakfast before you rushed back to see me?
Too early for bf. GM vc.
Interesting. Verrrry interesting. I can’t remember ever hearing you say it was too early for drinking …water. It was always ‘it’s the right time SOMEwhere in the world’. I’ll have to ponder the fact that it can be too early for one but not for the other.
🙂
PBO has some ill mannered hecklers in Cinnci it appears.
Bitter Willard supporters who know they are toast on Tuesday.
They should be somewhere making calls for Romney but I admire PBO’s calmness.
Exactly – why aren’t they GOTVing or attending rallies for Romney? Instead they are harassing our President at his rally.
WORD!
Cincy reporter says one was Pro-Choice guy who cling to railing when police tried to escort him out. The other was just anti-Obama.
clung
One in eight jobs in Ohio are related to the auto industry. Why is this race so close in this state?
PPP final Virginia poll shows PBO 51, Romney 47
http://www.democrats.org/news/press/romneys_pa_fantasy_turns_into_disaster
wow–any chance this will hit the teevee news?
So both sam wang and nate silver have upped the % chance of win but have reduced the EV count to around 306. Did some state swing back ?
No, they’re playing it safe on final prediction. Swing states looking’ good.
Florida is not looking likely.
I thought we were doing really well w/ early voting in Florida?
On what basis ? Did any poll come out y’day/today?
Mason Dixon again has Robney up 6. Thru recycle the same poll 3X now, only change the dates. It seems!
Yea, some Florida polls with Romney leads today. And in fact of all the polls released in the past week (10/29 till today),11 polls in total, Obama leads 4, Romney leads 6 and 1 is tied. Add the crazy shenanigans RIck Scott is doing with early voting times and it is looking less likely. Not lost by any means, but certainly less safe than say Ohio or even Virginia.
I think Iowa got some polls with 1-2 leads.
Wang took NC from toss-up to lean Romney.

This Seal 6 movie has me on the edge of my seat AND I already know how it ends 🙂
Comes on here at 9 p.m.
No! You’re making me anxious!icant watch bc I don’t have the station. Now I’m worried about what I’m missing out on. 😦
I say what I mean and I mean what I say. Hay Mitt heckler, can you honestly say that about yous man Mitt?
Heckled. And while he was talking seriously about the tragedy on the East Coast. Sounds like the juvenile Romney bunch.
Okay guys ,enough about that loser.
That heckler doesn’t deserve any of our attention, he or she isn’t worth it. Smile and shake it off, just like our President.
POTUS still have one more event to go too.
It’s the end of day two of the marathon staging location director job and I reached a wall of exhaustion. Now regrouping to gather strength for the last two days. We are focusing on the Latino dominated wards, which have been targeted by the president’s campaign and are finding very high levels of enthusiasm for PBO. Our task now is to get them out the door on Tuesday. All our canvassers say that they are getting very welcome receptions at Latino homes and have never had so much fun hitting the doors. Living in a red county, they’re basking in the rare pleasure of finding so many supporters who are happy to see them. I can tell you that the name Romney is almost a curse for some Latinos. He has certainly managed to cut a huge swath of anger among these voters. Much as people love PBO, the anger is serving as a nice motivator for getting sporadic voters to the polls. Night all. I’m fast getting past the point of coherent thought. Two more days!!!
Thank you for all you are doing Jackie!!!! Great news about our Latino fellow Americans.
#FORWARD
Thank youu, JG! Get some rest and hang in there. It’s almost over.
I feel I should send you a massage therapist. You’ve certainly earned it. Hang in there, and thanks for all you are doing.
Our President was about ready to get down, shake his grove. .
Oh MY!!!
3 podium spanks!!!
My president singing and dancing!
Chips, you must get the last part of that video.
Signed, Sealed, Delivered!!
I love the way Stevie added Fired Up, President Obama, four more to the song. Priceless. And the crowd is fired up as we all are.
Taiping1, that was awesome. I like it too. . . fits right in with the song!
Sure enough – CNN feed stalls just as Stevie starts to sing live.
It’s back.
PBO looked like he was ready to do a two step!
PBO is rocking out with everyone and they are all singing ‘signed sealed and delivered’ 🙂
Best revenge – lots and lots of smiling faces having fun and these folk are !!!!
POTUS might would have dance if FLOTUS was there. 🙂
No, you guys don’t need to be jealous just because MY president danced with ME after this rally. (okay, OUR president) 😆
Delusion, thy name is LunarSea.
ahh, sweet delusion…
He danced with **me**, and there was no delusion about it. My spirit danced with his, while I sang along with Stevie in a beautiful voice. I saw and experienced it all, smiling throughout, and you both can’t say otherwise just because you didn’t see. Doesn’t psychology believe imagination is a good thing (particularly in the young)? So there! 😀
LMAO All I know is I know what I know and I know he was dancing with me!
That’s the beauty of it all, ain’t it, LS? We can both lay claim to that special dance, along with many others, I’d bet. A president for the people and of the people, and a lovely human being.
“A president for the people and of the people, and a lovely human being.” Yes, there’s beauty in that thought.
alright that was just cute: the crowd singing w/Stevie.. signed sealed delivered… and POTUS dancing a few steps 🙂 great crowd .. beautiful President ~
Love the crowd singing with Stevie and the President!
Luv that man!!
A warm-ish welcome!
My goodness, that crowd is electric and Stevie sounds sooooooo gooood! Wish I was there!
Lawd, that’s a lot of people he’s wading through, 😯
http://www.democrats.org/news/press/romneys_pa_fantasy_turns_into_disaster
Stevie Wonder singing. No standard recording for PBO when he has a living legend in the building!!
FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are there any campaign events tomorrow also ?
Most likely. I think Chips will post it maybe later.
Gazillions, Amk! Will post soon!
Including that concert with Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, JZ, etc…
It’s pedal to the metal until Tuesday. He’s got a ton of energy, thank goodness.
Excellent. Pedal to the metal indeed.
WLWT feed has cameras on AF1 — you can watch PBO leave!!
http://www.wlwt.com/news/politics/Watch-Live-President-Obama-event-at-UC/-/9837768/17263234/-/14e0k3e/-/index.html
Pres. Obama busting some moves as Stevie Wonder sings “Signed, Sealed Delivered” was freaking awesome.
amk I’m still hangin’ in at 347 with you. Don’t know why everyone is so chicken to go big. 🙂
chickens eat bugs, but in this case, they don’t. 🙂
Yup. I am still in.
Forus50, I am totally with you and AMK! Also, too, the way Nebraska is trending I think he will win one electoral vote from there giving him 348EVs. I am also not yet counting out Arizona given the level of Latino/Hispanic enthusiasm that the polls may be missing. The President may end up with 359EVs on Tuesday. So, my range is 347-359 EVs for my Great President.
Nice!!! I hope you are right.
Did anyone notice at the end of his speech he pointed to two separate points in the audience and asked if they were alright? This was before he started dancing with me.
A measure of a man is how he cares for the least of us and all that jazz. I bet those people appreciated that. If you missed it check when it becomes available. Very touching -and personal- the more so because it was in the midst of the jubilant, screaming crowd.
Yes. Saw it. Just what you know he’d do because of who he is. Fabulous human spirit!
I saw that too. He is a genuinely good human being. What a blessing to live in the same time as him…
I think he was coordinating with the Secret Service/ before the handshaking business.
Actually, he did that, as well. But he also turned and pointed into the crowd in front of the stage and indicated a problem, then turned to his left and pointed and mouthed something like ‘are they ok?’ …
Great election story for the Romney cause, just 24 hours left in campaign. It will really help him out in PA.
LOL yup, way to go mittbotts. Way to wrap up the votes. More of this please
