Good Morning Chips and my TOD family. Beautiful Sunday to all of you. It is such a beautiful morning out west. Joyful day to be alive. I hope BWD got some rest last evening, rather this mornings.
I am up. House open up, and sun coming through. Checked my calling and will be doing that after I have my Sunday Service. I need my word and some great gospel music today, for sure.
I feel a sweetness in the air this morning. I will report on any great news after the service. People are fired up. Remember to have some meditations moments today and lift POB and the entire team up today for strength, and wisdom and protection.
We Can and Will Do This. (((((((((((((((((( Love you all so much))))))))))))))))))HZ
A word for today: “Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuese life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I just wanted to post this over here….I think it’s important to acknowledge sites like WIW’s site that has been invaluable….and another true labor of love.
I just want to take a moment and say thank you to all those bloggers that put their heart and souls into getting out the info that all of US needed to do our jobs that the MSM NEVER did. To present factual info about the successes of programs that this administration worked so tirelessly for, that made lives better for so many Americans. People like WIW, who has assembled such great information for all of us during these last 4 years…..we love Chips for so many reasons…but WIW’s site is also a labor of love and I just wanted to encourage all of you to visit in these remaining days and pass along her site for others….Thank you, Linda for your labor of love.
WIW is a powerhouse and I can’t thank Linda enough for putting her heart and soul into it every day. And thanks to everyone here for delivering a constant flow of useful information for the rest of us to disseminate. We are BETTER TOGETHER.
Thank you for putting this in words, Desertflower. I can’t tell you guys the number of times WIW helped me with information, especially when I wanted to include video clips with my TY tweets (like the #ACA ones). Linda did a wonderful job creating a format that I found easy to follow and I so respect the fact that she has always been focused on the positive. So, Linda, your labour of love has been very helpful and inspiring – THANK YOU!!! (ps. I know you’ve often said you don’t share to get thank yous, but we thank you anyways! 😉 😀 😀 ) I’m praying you’ll get a #LANDSLIDE thank you on Tuesday!
And Df, while we are acknowledging invaluable sites, I personally want to flag Smartypants who has often put ‘stuff’ in a way that appealed to my mind. I’m a goofball, but I truly appreciated that aspect of her site.
I’m obviously waaaay out of it. What is WIW? All I could find is

I LOVE seeing pictures like this — can hardly wait to see the crowd in Mad-Town tomorrow!! The day before the election – it is going to be quite a party!!
Miss Chips, I am rooting for you to get an invite to the inauguration ( do you do that again), if not , to the White House for tea, for all the work you have done. it has been exceptional. Along with you are others mentioned by desert flower, but I know this one better.
I booked off work to be here on tues. for moral support.
Here’s to you, (lift coffee too early for beverages).
Not sure how it works in FL, but I voted in-person absentee here in VA yesterday. I went into the county office, filled out the absentee application — I needed an excuse as to why I couldn’t vote on Tuesday (I’m doing voter protection) — handed the application in, and voted on the spot.
It basically cuts out the mailing out of the absentee ballot and mailing it back in.
Early voting is simply a longer time period of voting — more days to simply show up at the polls and cast your vote, no excuse or paperwork required. In my state, absentee voting requires an application stating why you won’t be able to vote on Election Day because there is no period of early voting, per se.
Early voting = many voting days; Absentee voting = getting around the fact that there is only one voting day.
I think the situation in FL is that technically early voting ended yesterday. This is a NEW provision added for today and tomorrow — a provision that is more similar to my state’s absentee voting. Perhaps there are some people who couldn’t make it to the early voting period or had to leave due to the long lines and they still wouldn’t be able to vote on Tuesday. I’m assuming they will have to present a reason for not being able to vote on Tuesday, fill out an application and then vote on the spot.
Yah! The FL Gov, Rick Scott refused to extend the early voting as it has been done in other years. Surprise? Grrrr. Hope the absent voter ballots don’t compare to provisional ballots that are often not counted.
Here ya go folks just a little slice of the campaign here in MN! All is well. I’m not supposed to go in till 4 but I don’t think I’ll be able to stay away that long.
I HAVE to yell you Giys this-
Corey Booker is going toe to tie with Five republicans on MTP, arguing about enthusiasm.
Morning Joe and Browkaw are saying No to enthusiasm, and Corey is pushing back.
He is trying, but is severely outnumbered.
Pathetic.
Ok, back to our No enthusiasm in NH!
LOL!
GM TODville! Haven’t posted for quite a while, but been lurking every day. Too much work and not enough time to get it done. NO WAY could I have gotten through this election season without TOD and our Chips. This place is the only thing that’s kept me sane all these months. Can no longer watch MSM garbage, so I get PBO news here. THANK YOU CHIPS for all that you do for us every day!!! THANK YOU to this outstanding community of Obots!!
My household voted for President Barack Obama and a straight Democratic ticket on Thursday Nov 1st. SO HAPPY TO HAVE DONE IT. Been posting TOD info for the rest of my family and friends on Facebook mostly and Twitter when I can. Can’t do much at work but in my personal life, I’ve been encouraging everyone I know to VOTE. Holding my breath until Tuesday night. Will be here at TOD to celebrate 4 more for 44 on Tuesday night. CANNOT WAIT to have this election over and done!
>>>>>>> F O R W A R D >>>>>>>>>> OBAMA/BIDEN2012 VICTORY!
What a great day that begins with President Clinton and President Obama, shoulder to shoulder, working for all of us and for extending the promise of America to all those yet to be born ….
Don't sleep America. Cherish every single moment from now until VICTORY for OBAMA & humanity on 6 Nov http://t.co/u7s5HBdI This is HISTORY.
just a couple weeks ago he was on huffingtonpoop saying “get used to saying president rmoney” and because president obama hasn’t delivered on his promises (in moore’s opinion). moore was saying several of the main “bash obama” right wing talking points and seemed very sincere about them. i donated all my michael moore books (many signed by him at events) to goodwill later that week. this guy is scam artist and i actually don’t want any obama support from scammers like him anymore. they do this same thing every time….undermine, undermine, undermine, then when it’s clear we’re going to win, they magically change overnight to being vocal supporters and get all over the media to act as if they know what they’re talking about. i’m done with these people once and for all. we really don’t them either, so sayonara michael moore and friends!
I don’t trust him. That’s not the point. What he’s been tweeting to his ~ 1.2 million followers has been GOTV for the President and massive turnout. After 6 Nov I’ll go back to paying my typical amount of attention to MMFlint – zero.
I can! IRS because the RNC/MSM meme if no enthusiasm for the President, will get ruined if they show this rally.
The MSM has been complicity with this farce, for quite sometime. Luckily, democrats are not listening, they are just voting.
Basic arithmetic, which the Republicans have proven beyond all doubt they fail. These are just the States where the President will win the Electoral Votes without question:
West Coast
WA = 12
OR = 7
CA = 55
T= 74
NM = 5
Midwest
MN = 10
WI = 10
IL = 20
MI = 16
T = 56
East
ME = 4
VT = 3
MA = 11
CT = 7
RI = 4
NY = 29
PA = 20
NJ = 14
DE = 3
MD = 10
DC = 3
T = 108
=243 is the President’s basic resting pulse.
How George Will manages to find 26 of those Electoral Votes for Willard, plus ALL of the swing states is incomprehensible.
If I could, I’d spearhead a crowd-sourced wiki-type site that show just how badly wrong these pundits are on a regular basis, including video. WOW.
This is a very busy weekend. Trying to keep up with POTUS!! I hope both he, and Bill Clinton have taken some magic potion to keep their voices until after the election. It has been wonderful coming here to stories about the massive GOTV of the campaign. Keep pressing on everyone!!
Is PBO rocking the same outfit he’s been wearing for two days? something tells me he has several of the same outfits, given that he doesn’t really care about clothes and dislikes expending energy in deciding what to work.
I read where Prez Obama purposely limits his choices in wardrobe so he does not have to make many choices. It psychologically has to do with saving his mind for really important decisions. There have been studies on how making many small decisions impacts making large important decisions so he purposely limits his small decisions. Sounded good to me, but then I also remembered that Michelle said PBO never really cared much about what he wore. Remember the photo of him during his Community Organizer days with his feet up on his desk and there was a hole worn in the bottom of one of his shoes? Case in point. I am into the love of comfortable clothing and shoes myself knowing when they look a bit ragged they are at their utmost comfort.
SECRETARY OF EXPLAINING STUFF HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK
When President Bill Clinton calls President Barack Obama “MY PRESIDENT”, it just makes me melt. I love that. Bill has been an unbelievable surrogate. What a team. This is exhilarating.
I shouldn’t laugh because all candidates are dead tired at this point, but in WIllard’s case, it’s pretty funny given all the garbage he is trying to sell.
A judge has ordered Orange County to open up early voting for four more hours.
The Florida Democratic Party filed lawsuits seeking to get four counties to offer more time for voting before Election Day.
The lawsuit filed in Orange County asked for additional time because an early voting site in that county was shut down for several hours while authorities investigated a suspicious package.
The judge has ordered that the Winter Park early voting site be opened for four hours on Sunday afternoon.
The party has a separate federal lawsuit seeking more early voting time in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Those counties were dealing with waits of up to six hours on Saturday, the last scheduled day of early voting.
Gov. Rick Scott refused requests this week from Democrats to extend early voting.
Ok..FIRED UP>>>AGAIN! Time to go to OFA office and get some work done! Time’s a’wastin’ !! Great speech by both Presidents Clinton and Obama….nice touch at the end to play Fleetwood Mac song that President Clinton always used on campaign trail….:)
Eternal vigilance — voter suppression is always mutating: In King County, Washington, GOP volunteers are going door to door offering to take people’s ballots and promising to them in a drop box.
King County elections officials say that while this practice is not illegal, they strongly discourage people from giving their ballots to anyone but USPS and official ballot drop locations.
Eleventh-Hour GOP Voter Suppression Could Swing Ohio
By Ari Berman on November 4, 2012 – 9:35 AM ET
—————————–
Cleveland—Ohio GOP Secretary of State Jon Husted has become an infamous figure for aggressively limiting early voting hours and opportunities to cast and count a ballot in the Buckeye State.
Once again Husted is playing the voter suppression card, this time at the eleventh hour, in a controversial new directive concerning provisional ballots. In an order to election officials on Friday night, Husted shifted the burden of correctly filling out a provisional ballot from the poll worker to the voter, specifically pertaining to the recording of a voter’s form of ID, which was previously the poll worker’s responsibility. Any provisional ballot with incorrect information will not be counted, Husted maintains. This seemingly innocuous change has the potential to impact the counting of thousands of votes in Ohio and could swing the election in this closely contested battleground.
Hahahahaha…….Andrew’s right. GOP is so desperate. It’s right there. They endorsed Bush twice. Their editorial board is drastically different than the other writers.
Good Morning (almost afternoon) Ms. Chips and TOD. Ok, I admit it. I’m in love with a wonderful, compassionate, courageous and super-intelligent man – my President. The more he speaks to us the more I want to hear him. Oh yeah, and the smack on the podium at the end of his great speeches blows my mind. I have voted 🙂 but will be taking some older voters to the poll on Tuesday. We Got This. FOWARD !!!
My favorite addition to his stump speech is when he talks about how he and Plouffe are now just props or are irrelevant because it’s so fricking true. In this part of the campaign, the people that matter are the OFA volunteers, then on election day, the people who will matter are the voters who make the decision to vote for PBO. That is democracy in action. it’s like a chain: PBO inspires OFA volunteers, the volunteers go work for him by contacting voters, giving them the information they need in order to decide, registering voters, and then the voters make the choice. I loved that he pointed that out last night and then again this morning because it’s just so fricking true. He’s so honest, I’m stunned sometimes about how stunned I am when I realize that PBO really is telling the truth and that he does it all the time. Good grief.
His honesty is what makes me an obot. I have been into politics for over 3 decades not only in my country but in other countries too and had become totally disgusted & disillusioned with their corrupt and lying nature. PBO was a total breath of fresh air for me.
And frankly, I think it his honesty that is making the difference right now. Despite the slow recovery, a majority of americans still view him as a good man who tries to do the right thing. The challenge has been to prevent people to go for Romney because he’s a “businessman”, even if they don’t like the guy. In the last week, we have indications that the challenge has been met. America will do the right thing.
Folks, an EPIC diary on reasons to vote for Barack Obama and reject Romney. 500 (!) items, with sources, links, etc. First 200 items are about Romney’s flip-flops, lies, and bad policies. The rest : list of good reasons to vote for Pres. Obama. It’s at the Orange but you just have to look at it when you have time!! So much material there to use to convince people who are still on the fence, and maybe convince soft Romney supporters …
look at all those people in NH to see the Mittster!!! They are all so happy to be seeing him, even Bill Clinton came to stump for him!!! George Will was totally right, Nov.6th will be a blow-out win for Willard!! 😆
CROCODILE TEARS ABOUT “REVENGE” EPITOMIZES ROMNEY’S CYNICISM AND CONTEMPT FOR VOTERS
Mitt Romney insults the American electorate one last time
By Greg Sargent
———————————-
Yesterday in Springfield, Ohio, the crowd listening to Barack Obama booed when the President brought up Mitt Romney and the Republican Congress. That prompted Obama to say:
“No, no, no — don’t boo, vote. Vote! Voting is the best revenge.”
Romney promptly pretended to be very outraged by this. He told his supporters:
“Yesterday, the President said something you may have heard by now. That I think surprised a lot of people. Speaking to an audience, he said, ‘voting is the best revenge.’ He told his supporters — voting for revenge. Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you. Vote for love of country.”
Romney picked up that refrain a second time:
“Did you see what President Obama said today? He asked his supporters to vote for revenge — for revenge…Instead, I ask the American people to vote for love of country.”
Of course, Obama was only encouraging people to vote. He was telling them that the real way to express opposition to GOP policies is to vote against them, rather than to merely boo them.
Awww!!! so sweet!!! Granddaughter told paw paw joe that she couldn’t go to morning mass with him because she had to meet “Bawack” for basket ball!!!!! 😆 😆 😆 sooooooo cute!!!! 🙂
First, it was Miami/Dade extending early hours- then it was just orange County judge authorized early voting from 1-5, then it was all of Florida…??
WTF is going on? If I get the wrong information voters will be pissed.
GM peeps. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve worked really hard on ignoring everything that is not positive and just keep plugging. But there are a few things I need to get out before hitting it for the last couple of days. The Romney thing yesterday about voting for “love of country” put me over the top.
THIS from an American candidate who has spent his entire adult life avoidng in every way possible paying his share of US taxes to support this nation?
THIS from the man whose party is doing everything in its power to keep as many Dems as possible from VOTING?????
THIS from the man who wants to be Commander in Chief but who fails to even mention (once again) our troops in harms way while he campaigns and who fails to mention veterans?
THIS from the man whose party took this country to its knees and fought to have it fail further just to put their own in power?
IMO, Willard Romney is the most UNPATRIOTIC candidate to ever run for offfice, yet he talks about “love of country”. Actions speak louder than words, Mitt, and your actions demonstrate the exact opposite.
Excuse my rant:-) I do feel better, and now on to closing this thing for PBO! Fortunately, we won’t have to see how Mitten would destroy this country. FORWARD!!!!
excellent rant, foxfire! another item: this is the man who evaded the draft and the vietnam war in paris, france. how has he managed to etch-a-sketch all this history? how can he be considered a serious candidate for president, much less a serious threat to the excellent pbo? it’s frustrating and infuriating and frightening to see him so close. but he’s not going to win it!! FORWARD!

True you guys she’s done a monumental job of getting out the information that people need!
So good of you to recognize all of Linda’s efforts at WIW, df. She has created a trove of valuable, easily accessed information.

Wow….that was the shortest Rise and Shine that I have ever seen. It is going to be a FUN Day. I am in a delicious Heaven already……This is fantastic.
Their are only 5 people in NH waiting to see the President. See?
Arithmetic! 😆 Wow, WHAT A CROWD!!! Thank you Jovie!
Miss Chips, I am rooting for you to get an invite to the inauguration ( do you do that again), if not , to the White House for tea, for all the work you have done. it has been exceptional. Along with you are others mentioned by desert flower, but I know this one better.
I booked off work to be here on tues. for moral support.
Here’s to you, (lift coffee too early for beverages).
Taking a personal day Tues for GOTV …..I won’t be able to sit still!
Exactly, wouldn’t be able to work anyways. I think a lot of eyes will be on the US and not a lot of work being done. A lot is at stake.
Tweet it.
Did a few minutes ago Amk – morning/evening you!
RT’ed. GM to you.
Pajamas, coffee and transfixed on TOD. I hope someone brings me something to eat today……
LOL. Chips?
😆 We’ll have to get LL to deliver you some of his delicious food!!
Same here but making French toast, I’ll send some for you. 🙂
Spread it around!
UT,
Tweet this to OFA Florida and the Miami herald. I will let the regional staffer know at OFA Florida, as well…
Thanks
What does in-person absentee mean, jovie ? Kinda oxymoronic it seems.
You fill out an absentee ballot right there and pass it in.
Same difference, like you said.
Yes!! Like ‘awfully nice’!
Yes like it’s awfully nice that the man u is back at the top of the table. 🙂
No futbol mundial till nov 7th?
Not sure how it works in FL, but I voted in-person absentee here in VA yesterday. I went into the county office, filled out the absentee application — I needed an excuse as to why I couldn’t vote on Tuesday (I’m doing voter protection) — handed the application in, and voted on the spot.

Early voting = many voting days; Absentee voting = getting around the fact that there is only one voting day.
Gotcha. But FL does have early voting, so why an in-person absentee ballot ? You are there already, might as well cast your vote.
Am I boring you ?
Ha, not you’re not boring me. 😉
I think the situation in FL is that technically early voting ended yesterday. This is a NEW provision added for today and tomorrow — a provision that is more similar to my state’s absentee voting. Perhaps there are some people who couldn’t make it to the early voting period or had to leave due to the long lines and they still wouldn’t be able to vote on Tuesday. I’m assuming they will have to present a reason for not being able to vote on Tuesday, fill out an application and then vote on the spot.
Ah, I get it. I didn’t know early voting ended in FL y’day. That’s a bummer.
You essplain things so well. Thanks.
My pleasure 😉
Yah! The FL Gov, Rick Scott refused to extend the early voting as it has been done in other years. Surprise? Grrrr. Hope the absent voter ballots don’t compare to provisional ballots that are often not counted.
That enthusiasm Gap must be Contagious…..It keeps happening, Time after Time.
Love it!
I’m soooooo excited!!!! I get to see two great Presidents on the same stage this morning!!!!!!
Thank you so much Chipsticks!
Tweet that to Miami news channels down there. So, they can inform.
Thanks
Good morning, OTeam. So tired and groggy! Didn’t sleep much. Too much excitement and work to do!
The STREAMS are not working for me….
This is happening now at VP Biden’s rally in Lakewood, Ohio.

Michael has had some very supportive tweets these past couple of weeks – way different than his attitude in 2010 🙂
just a couple weeks ago he was on huffingtonpoop saying “get used to saying president rmoney” and because president obama hasn’t delivered on his promises (in moore’s opinion). moore was saying several of the main “bash obama” right wing talking points and seemed very sincere about them. i donated all my michael moore books (many signed by him at events) to goodwill later that week. this guy is scam artist and i actually don’t want any obama support from scammers like him anymore. they do this same thing every time….undermine, undermine, undermine, then when it’s clear we’re going to win, they magically change overnight to being vocal supporters and get all over the media to act as if they know what they’re talking about. i’m done with these people once and for all. we really don’t them either, so sayonara michael moore and friends!
yup. A last minute shameless wagon jumper.
He speaks from both sides of his mouth. Don’t trust him. It’s ok for now but…..
I don’t trust him. That’s not the point. What he’s been tweeting to his ~ 1.2 million followers has been GOTV for the President and massive turnout. After 6 Nov I’ll go back to paying my typical amount of attention to MMFlint – zero.
🙂 point taken, 1.2 million…

Break it down Pres. Clinton . . . ARITHMETIC!
yay that’s my city newspaper. Nice!

Ex-President Clinton voice sound better this morning.
I can! IRS because the RNC/MSM meme if no enthusiasm for the President, will get ruined if they show this rally.
The MSM has been complicity with this farce, for quite sometime. Luckily, democrats are not listening, they are just voting.
Wooohoooo! Democracy wins over a-hole Governors.

How George Will manages to find 26 of those Electoral Votes for Willard, plus ALL of the swing states is incomprehensible.
If I could, I’d spearhead a crowd-sourced wiki-type site that show just how badly wrong these pundits are on a regular basis, including video. WOW.
Well, they have to TRY to get RWers to get up and go to the polls Tuesday…
This is a very busy weekend. Trying to keep up with POTUS!! I hope both he, and Bill Clinton have taken some magic potion to keep their voices until after the election. It has been wonderful coming here to stories about the massive GOTV of the campaign. Keep pressing on everyone!!
I love that Bill said “My President”.
Yes, the former pres Bill Clinton says that all the time…..Well, at least the few speeches that I have seen his stump speeches.
I was mad at Mr. Clinton over 2008… I am very proud of him & happy he is on our team so solidly.. and saying “my President” really did touch me,.
Is PBO rocking the same outfit he’s been wearing for two days? something tells me he has several of the same outfits, given that he doesn’t really care about clothes and dislikes expending energy in deciding what to work.
That blue checked shirt took him all the way in ’08. Looks like he’s going with it again—-his good luck shirt!
I think you are absolutely right. FLOTUS said that POTUS’ favorite gift is three blue shirts.
I read where Prez Obama purposely limits his choices in wardrobe so he does not have to make many choices. It psychologically has to do with saving his mind for really important decisions. There have been studies on how making many small decisions impacts making large important decisions so he purposely limits his small decisions. Sounded good to me, but then I also remembered that Michelle said PBO never really cared much about what he wore. Remember the photo of him during his Community Organizer days with his feet up on his desk and there was a hole worn in the bottom of one of his shoes? Case in point. I am into the love of comfortable clothing and shoes myself knowing when they look a bit ragged they are at their utmost comfort.
SECRETARY OF EXPLAINING STUFF HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK
When President Bill Clinton calls President Barack Obama “MY PRESIDENT”, it just makes me melt. I love that. Bill has been an unbelievable surrogate. What a team. This is exhilarating.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Soon, the Willard will be coming around to endorse pres Obama.
hahahhahhahahhahhahhahahha!!! The truth for once!!!!! 😆
I shouldn’t laugh because all candidates are dead tired at this point, but in WIllard’s case, it’s pretty funny given all the garbage he is trying to sell.

So jovie this is good, no ?
A judge has ordered Orange County to open up early voting for four more hours.
The Florida Democratic Party filed lawsuits seeking to get four counties to offer more time for voting before Election Day.
The lawsuit filed in Orange County asked for additional time because an early voting site in that county was shut down for several hours while authorities investigated a suspicious package.
The judge has ordered that the Winter Park early voting site be opened for four hours on Sunday afternoon.
The party has a separate federal lawsuit seeking more early voting time in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Those counties were dealing with waits of up to six hours on Saturday, the last scheduled day of early voting.
Gov. Rick Scott refused requests this week from Democrats to extend early voting.

Confusion! All or just done of Florida?
The ruling is for orange county only.
Ooh Obama had his Wheaties this morning. His voice is sounding better.
Ouch. . . felt that slap!
Ok..FIRED UP>>>AGAIN! Time to go to OFA office and get some work done! Time’s a’wastin’ !! Great speech by both Presidents Clinton and Obama….nice touch at the end to play Fleetwood Mac song that President Clinton always used on campaign trail….:)
Have a great day, df, and yes that was really sweet of Team Obama to play “Don’t Stop” ….
Will never forget that night in 1992 when President Clinton defeated GHW Bush and that song was blasting in Hope, AR

Eternal vigilance — voter suppression is always mutating: In King County, Washington, GOP volunteers are going door to door offering to take people’s ballots and promising to them in a drop box.
King County elections officials say that while this practice is not illegal, they strongly discourage people from giving their ballots to anyone but USPS and official ballot drop locations.

Eleventh-Hour GOP Voter Suppression Could Swing Ohio
By Ari Berman on November 4, 2012 – 9:35 AM ET
—————————–
Cleveland—Ohio GOP Secretary of State Jon Husted has become an infamous figure for aggressively limiting early voting hours and opportunities to cast and count a ballot in the Buckeye State.
Once again Husted is playing the voter suppression card, this time at the eleventh hour, in a controversial new directive concerning provisional ballots. In an order to election officials on Friday night, Husted shifted the burden of correctly filling out a provisional ballot from the poll worker to the voter, specifically pertaining to the recording of a voter’s form of ID, which was previously the poll worker’s responsibility. Any provisional ballot with incorrect information will not be counted, Husted maintains. This seemingly innocuous change has the potential to impact the counting of thousands of votes in Ohio and could swing the election in this closely contested battleground.

son of a bitch.
The Obama team is on this. Keep the faith.
And the whiny left couldn’t be bothered to vote in 2010 or decided to ‘send a message’.
the message: redistricting and the takeover over of state govt’s by the tea party. Some ‘principles’ these alleged progressives had.
It’s hard enough to fight CU; but corrupt TGOP state governments make the task even harder.
Eff ’em.
VP Biden speaking soon in Ohio:

I hope someday to just get to shake his hand and say thank you.
Hahahahaha…….Andrew’s right. GOP is so desperate. It’s right there. They endorsed Bush twice. Their editorial board is drastically different than the other writers.

Good Morning (almost afternoon) Ms. Chips and TOD. Ok, I admit it. I’m in love with a wonderful, compassionate, courageous and super-intelligent man – my President. The more he speaks to us the more I want to hear him. Oh yeah, and the smack on the podium at the end of his great speeches blows my mind. I have voted 🙂 but will be taking some older voters to the poll on Tuesday. We Got This. FOWARD !!!
My favorite addition to his stump speech is when he talks about how he and Plouffe are now just props or are irrelevant because it’s so fricking true. In this part of the campaign, the people that matter are the OFA volunteers, then on election day, the people who will matter are the voters who make the decision to vote for PBO. That is democracy in action. it’s like a chain: PBO inspires OFA volunteers, the volunteers go work for him by contacting voters, giving them the information they need in order to decide, registering voters, and then the voters make the choice. I loved that he pointed that out last night and then again this morning because it’s just so fricking true. He’s so honest, I’m stunned sometimes about how stunned I am when I realize that PBO really is telling the truth and that he does it all the time. Good grief.
His honesty is what makes me an obot. I have been into politics for over 3 decades not only in my country but in other countries too and had become totally disgusted & disillusioned with their corrupt and lying nature. PBO was a total breath of fresh air for me.
Amen!!!
And frankly, I think it his honesty that is making the difference right now. Despite the slow recovery, a majority of americans still view him as a good man who tries to do the right thing. The challenge has been to prevent people to go for Romney because he’s a “businessman”, even if they don’t like the guy. In the last week, we have indications that the challenge has been met. America will do the right thing.
America better. It it wants the respect of rest of the world to continue.
The Biden clan is on stage. Very photogenic family.
Jilly Beans looks super cute! Love her! 😆
Joey B. is so sexy in his VP suit! what a sweet heart: “Hey everyone, I’m Joe, Jill’s husband.”
Indeed…naughty mat time! And he’s having such a good time making fun of Robme and RAyn. Haven’t seen him this elated with the fight for a while.
Is this on top of the largest rally (till now) PBO pulled just a few days back ?
Folks, an EPIC diary on reasons to vote for Barack Obama and reject Romney. 500 (!) items, with sources, links, etc. First 200 items are about Romney’s flip-flops, lies, and bad policies. The rest : list of good reasons to vote for Pres. Obama. It’s at the Orange but you just have to look at it when you have time!! So much material there to use to convince people who are still on the fence, and maybe convince soft Romney supporters …

Gotta go, to watch Joe Biden’s rally in Ohio…
look at all those people in NH to see the Mittster!!! They are all so happy to be seeing him, even Bill Clinton came to stump for him!!! George Will was totally right, Nov.6th will be a blow-out win for Willard!! 😆
lol.
Must be about 40,000 by GOP estimates – what a crowd
AWESOME! Real democracy shining through

CROCODILE TEARS ABOUT “REVENGE” EPITOMIZES ROMNEY’S CYNICISM AND CONTEMPT FOR VOTERS
Mitt Romney insults the American electorate one last time
By Greg Sargent
———————————-
Yesterday in Springfield, Ohio, the crowd listening to Barack Obama booed when the President brought up Mitt Romney and the Republican Congress. That prompted Obama to say:
“No, no, no — don’t boo, vote. Vote! Voting is the best revenge.”
Romney promptly pretended to be very outraged by this. He told his supporters:
“Yesterday, the President said something you may have heard by now. That I think surprised a lot of people. Speaking to an audience, he said, ‘voting is the best revenge.’ He told his supporters — voting for revenge. Vote for revenge? Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you. Vote for love of country.”
Romney picked up that refrain a second time:
“Did you see what President Obama said today? He asked his supporters to vote for revenge — for revenge…Instead, I ask the American people to vote for love of country.”
Of course, Obama was only encouraging people to vote. He was telling them that the real way to express opposition to GOP policies is to vote against them, rather than to merely boo them.

“it’s going down, bitches!!!” — Liberal paraphrasing of Joe Biden, 11/4/12
We freaking rock!
Awww!!! so sweet!!! Granddaughter told paw paw joe that she couldn’t go to morning mass with him because she had to meet “Bawack” for basket ball!!!!! 😆 😆 😆 sooooooo cute!!!! 🙂
That is so cute Lisa.
They are on the ball.
Thanks for this. Saw a couple “Where’s the DOJ?” BS tweets popping up again. Basically told folks to knock it off.

First, it was Miami/Dade extending early hours- then it was just orange County judge authorized early voting from 1-5, then it was all of Florida…??
WTF is going on? If I get the wrong information voters will be pissed.
see ut’s tweet above. The fucking rethugs are dangerous to any democracy.
New post everyone, back in a while:

GM peeps. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve worked really hard on ignoring everything that is not positive and just keep plugging. But there are a few things I need to get out before hitting it for the last couple of days. The Romney thing yesterday about voting for “love of country” put me over the top.
THIS from an American candidate who has spent his entire adult life avoidng in every way possible paying his share of US taxes to support this nation?
THIS from the man whose party is doing everything in its power to keep as many Dems as possible from VOTING?????
THIS from the man who wants to be Commander in Chief but who fails to even mention (once again) our troops in harms way while he campaigns and who fails to mention veterans?
THIS from the man whose party took this country to its knees and fought to have it fail further just to put their own in power?
IMO, Willard Romney is the most UNPATRIOTIC candidate to ever run for offfice, yet he talks about “love of country”. Actions speak louder than words, Mitt, and your actions demonstrate the exact opposite.
Excuse my rant:-) I do feel better, and now on to closing this thing for PBO! Fortunately, we won’t have to see how Mitten would destroy this country. FORWARD!!!!
excellent rant, foxfire! another item: this is the man who evaded the draft and the vietnam war in paris, france. how has he managed to etch-a-sketch all this history? how can he be considered a serious candidate for president, much less a serious threat to the excellent pbo? it’s frustrating and infuriating and frightening to see him so close. but he’s not going to win it!! FORWARD!
Joe hitting the podium! Doing a double! 🙂
