Love this
First.
Okay, 2nd. I will take it.
Real close.
Damn!!!?
Wot!
Congrats Proud & Top 5: CEB, Yardarm. How the heck are you all?
Feeling great.
Really glad you put up that video by Chris Mathews, Chips. It is superb!
It’s a stunner Bill, Chris and I have had a rocky relationship (!), but I’d almost forgive him everything for this. Brilliant.
Hahahahaha….I like the caveat of “almost forgive him.”
Hmm….. almost!
Maybe I didn’t pay close enough attention but I didn’t hear him even mention Obamacare!!
that is one thing that jumped out to me – ObamaCare defines the empathy of this OUR President Barack Obama
I think if you asked PBO the one achievement he’s most proud of, he just might say Obamacare.
I always posting when a new thread appears – sigh
This one posted by Bobfr on last thread – YES and YES
Don’t know why my tweets don’t always post right
another
Jen should be tweeting people telling them to vote instead of tweeting this! The only poll that counts is the one tomorrow! Been calling and texting everyone in my contacts log about getting out the vote. Tried to convince one who is convinced his vote doesn’t count but if he were to vote, he’d vote PBO. I gave him the 2000george W. numbers: 537. Hope I changed his mind.
Here’s a pertinent question you can ask him LisaLoves.
So fricking true!
Nice finish
Seriously, numbers 1-7?! What do you folks do? Sit by the computer waiting for each new thread?! Or is it more insidious than that? is there insidder trading going on?In one minute 7 people posted on this thread! Good grief! đ
Awww, Lisa I feel your pain! Had same “darn” reaction! Apparently we can keep the faith cos there’s a new day coming. Willard’s fake tomorrow had mishaps & is cancelled due to lack of interest.
99% of the time for me, its by accident.
Chris does have the gift of the gab, and aside from his tendency to fly off the handle, he’s on the right side.
I have a piece for TPV percolating in my brain, but, of course, being the superstitious sort, won’t start writing it until the race is declared for PBO.
Jeremy Levine â@Jeremy10036
@JeffersonObama Nate Silver has PBO at 91%(!). Highest ever. Woot! Cure RW freakout.

Someone was asking for this earlier.
Reposting this fired up Des Moines crowd photo because it’s a beauty—-awaiting the president and first lady to finish where they started
fantastic! Look at that crowd….woooohooooo!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you dotster
Think it’s pretty cool that every news website has a banner like “Iowa votes for Barack tomorrow!”, “Ohio votes for Barack tomorrow!” etc. with a link to “confirm where you vote”. Great, OFA!
I just love this!
Thought I would post this you tube again for folks that weren’t able to view it last night. Seal team 6 the raid of OBL still posted on You-tube but not sure how long it will stay up before you-tube takes it down. It was fantastic! Watched it this afternoon and I was not disappointed…very well done.
Thank you again, Joy.
It is way more powerful than I imagined it would be – they really conveyed the numerous dimensions of risk in a captivating story.
Yes, I couldn’t have said it better Bob. I’m not sure how much was actual happenings and I guess we will never know. But it was so very well done. The 1 hour 27 mins seemed to go so fast.
i tried to watch it earlier, but it was taken down! thanks for bringing it back, joy.
now i have to show my ignorance:
HOW DO I CAPTURE IT SO IT WON’T GO AWAY AGAIN???thanks smart tods!!
The first link that I provided was probably taken down, this one is a differant user. So grab it while you can everyone!
Good question, but sorry I don’t know if you can actually save it to your computor. Once it’s gone off youtube I don’t think you can view it but maybe I am wrong. There must be some experts out there that answer this…
You can save it to your computer using the application DownLoadHelper http://update.downloadhelper.net/index.html?ts=1352086237
h/t to Chips for mentioning that nifty application a few months ago đ
I wonder if this would work for apple users. Will try it, thanks Boob!
OMG! lol, take out one of those O’s Bob…my fingers are typing too fast.
Joy, I use all kinds of Apple products, it works perfectly well đ
Not to worry!!
Blogging while on road trip. Waves.
Come to papa, nate.
I’m beginning to think that maybe I am a little off on my 347 EV for Obama…but what the heck, I’m going to try and stay optimistic with a huge win. đ
Nope.Me not budging.
Of course I love Chris Matthews “Let Me Finish” segment tonight…and Rachel Maddows’ list of Our Presidents accomplishments.
But “these” two people…supposedly people that think somewhat like us, stand for similar principals, “these” two people with the microphones, have done there part to feed the repugs narrative about the failure of our Presidents leadership. So while at this time I am thankful for their voices (the eve of the election), how should we judge them if they are considered the voices of the progressives? Why did they not fight back when our President needed their voices the most? I will never look at them the same…never. They have betrayed our President time and time again. I am glad they are with our voices now, but they carry the marks of betrayal too.
Carla, don’t let folks call you cynical either. I agree with you because of all the valuable time those two have wasted and it was all for their own glory. To my ears, what I heard from Matthews sounded too much like a swan song, though I would not accuse him of such. Too little, too late for me. I value, highly, integrity over most anything. Good look out !! Don’t mean to be negative, TOD. It is what it is. Forward and beyond !!
I felt the same way and tweeted something like what you just wrote, only you write it better!
What is wrong with these journalists?
She could have discussed these issues every week but chose instead to have on ridiculous Republicans dissing the President.
Sick and tired of all of them. Have no confidence in any of them anymore. The media needs to be rinsed out.
I am with you on that!
So am I. Is there even one who has reported the truth, the facts, consistently and without putting a “spin” on it … I don’t think so. I don’t even watch Rachel anymore. Respect … they have shown our President none … and they deserve the same.
Martin Bashir and The Rev Al.
Criquet, I say wait until Wednesday Nov. 7th to voice your critiques and disgust. Right now It’s very important to keep our Eyes on the PRIZE. I am glad that Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews finally saw the light. Instead of shunning them we must welcome them. I am not a devout Christian, but I come from a very devout Christian family. I distinctly remember the teachings about that Jesus not giving up on his disciple Peter thought Peter had repeatedly denied him at the time he was about to be crucified. Let’s us practice Jesus’ love of Peter when it comes to Pundits who previously denied our incredible President for whatever reasons but who are now providing a rock for his re-election.
Congrats Proud. Almost Ceb & sailor đ
#FORWARD
Really wonderful, Chris… And thanks, Chips, for all the great stuff you’ve done, and for so long. Let’s hope… and VOTE!!!!! Gato

OMG! this is hilarious! One of the best tweets I’ve seen this election.
The MSM buzzards deserve this shhh..
hahahahahahah
The MSM buzzard deserve this shit.
Romney Charges Reporters for Election Night Party
HAHAHAHAHA – gives a few cans of food to sandy victims and charges the press for access – what a horrible excuse of a man – He knows he has lost & is going to make money out of losing
To whom did he give his canned goods? I never did hear any more about what Mitt did with his $5000+ Sandy collection.
Reluctantly, the red cross somewhere agreed to accept them – who knows what happened after that – Mitt didn’t want to know
Thanks, 99.
And will the reporters raise hell about this? Call this lying, money grubber, POS out for this? Think not..bend over reporters, its your turn.
I wonder what would happen if all media chose not to go to Romney’s gathering? Would he change his tune if they all planned to boycott the event? They won’t, but it’s fun to speculate.
That was my thought exactly vcprezofan2 : I would give anything if the press would just say, well, okay we won’t go then. Won’t happen, because we know the press has a RWNJ bias, but it is fun to think what would happen otherwise.
Such a pity the MSM is so ineffective and lacking in integrity themselves. Oh well, you and I can still dream. DD.
my thoughts exactly – media just boycott the fee for broadcast of concession speech
Nate Silver is apparently on Colbert tonight? I can’t watch it in my world – does anyone know about it? If you see it – please give the details to the deprived
not nate silver Sasha Issenberg author of the “Victory Lab” he is the Nate Silver of campaign micro-targeting
here is his latest blog post on the efficiency of Obama GOTV’er http://t.co/zHFFPEbM
ty – I do not know of him
Stephen Colbert’s tweet tonight:
“2NIGHT: My guest Nate Silver @fivethirtyeight thinks Obama has an 86% chance of winning. Yeah, but what are his chances of losing? TCR,11:30”

Here’s Al Giordano’s take on the vote: 318 EV, North Carolina yes due to the field advantage. Why OFA makes a difference. He does not think our organizing can overcome the effects of voter suppression in FL. Good analysis.
As much as I admire and respect Al Giordano, I still think the President will win both Florida and North Carolina. I am evening predicting that he will also win NE’s 2nd Congressional District as he did in 2008. So, I am sticking with my prediction of 348EVs. An upset win in AZ by the President will raise the EVs to 359.

THIS IS A FAKE ACCOUNT FROM A TEA BAGGER> PLEASE DO NOT RT!
That’s not true. Block that tweeter.
Wow—that is terrible news. Sad to hear that.
What is wrong with these assholes? grrrrrrrrrrr
What kind of person would tweet false news like that? Sicko.
Looks like Bill Clinton decided Scott Brown isnt the only one that can use a pickup truck as a prop! In PA today

Hey TOD Fam, help me out here — What time is last rally????
I still have dedicated folks on the street hanging doors by flashlight!!!
I’m dead on my feet. Had to turn away a couple of phonebankers who had dog or cat dander on them — I started weezing as soon as they came in. Can’t afford to end up in the hospital the day before the election!
Plan to sleep all day Wednesday!
10:50pm EST
Bless you Laura – stay safe
Great clip. My imagination, or was he weeping a bit at the end??
I don’t get how Nate has 314 electoral votes for POTUS when he has all but NC in blue. Should be 332 with Florida.
Does it matter as long as PBO makes it to 270?
I want our guy to “crush them”. đ Like he said in the Iowa interview.
What 270 ? Nothing less than 347 will do.
Baby steps, forus, baby steps. The boy is getting there. đ
Tis how his model works – 10,000 iterations (or some such thing) gives 314.4 as the most likely number. That you cannot get 314.4 (or any fraction) is something the statistics doesn’t consider.
Krystal Ball is Pregnant!!!
Yup – She announced this over a week ago on MSNBC! đ
Haven’t watched cable news since mid-2009
Pres. Obama will travel to Chicago tonight and will play basketball in the morning; continuing an election day tradition from 4 years ago.
Ok people these may be the best Pro Obama ads ever, the director of “Bully” formed a superpac they air in 40 local cities today!
He never did show those tax returns….
Michelle Obama to Floridians: ‘Don’t let anybody push you out of line’
“We are gonna get this done”
I love me some FLOTUS!
Ann Romney who???
God, this election can’t be over fast enough for me. Can’t handle these fricking nerves. đ
Look at this fool copying PBO with the whole rally at the airport thing. Ass. Chips, I need this damned election over now! I’m sure, but nervous! My life is on hold for this cursed election. I need it to be Wednesday already with PBO back in the WH, safely covered for four more years.
He thinks people like planes – folks like seeing AF1 – Romney is a failure at copying PBO – like he fails at everything else except screwing folks for money
HeeHeeHeeHeeHee! So, I happen to think he paid them to be there…..
Too bad, so sad, he’ll never get a chance to pull up in AF1. :-)))
Barack. Joe. Bill. David A. David P. Bruce. Stevie. Neil. Michelle. Jill. Eva. Elizabeth. MAJOR PEOPLE in this epic re-election! (I know that there are more).
Thank god I don’t need to go on campus till 1pm Wednesday.
And I hope you’ll be back home before 8PM ET đ
I’m skipping class tomorrow to GOTV in Davie. I’ll be back in time to buy cheap liquor at Walgreens and get drunk while waiting. It’s the hangover on Wednesday morning I’m worried about. Good thing is my class doesn’t start till 1pm. đ
hahaha, I’m sure your professor or teacher is going to give students an easy class. They might themselves be suffering of the day after hangover.

He’s already halfway in love with her. đ
Uh, yuh! I am more than halfway in love with her! đ
I’m well over 90% in love with her. Still at 100% for my wife, but Michelle is pushing it.
đ Keep it at 90% Japa or you’ll be in trouble!
God, I love this woman.
Great capture! What a lovely lady the FLOTUS is.
This is just bloody hilarious! đ

Jigga what? Jigga who? Homeboy’s getting down with his bad self.
Isn’t this called “gettin’ jiggy wif it”?
LOL. Good one
So, the good thing of cooking for an army is that you have a lot of leftovers. Didn’t have to cook tonight, which is good, as I have to wake up at 5 a.m. tomorrow. And won’t have to cook tomorrow, which is good, as I might be a bit tipsy.
Of course, if I had a wife who knew how to cook something besides chili, meatloaf, and breakfast….
Michael Moore likes to jump in after everyone else has fought for PBO – He lost me moons ago
+ 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Rather sad – the positives (for Moore) went to his head in a most negative fashion – He could have made a difference and decided not to bother. Now neither side of politics wants him.
I used to have great time for him 99ts, now, to be honest, I just think he’s an ego-driven fraud. Using non-union labor on one of his movies was the last straw.
His movies are better than Obama 2016 but thats not saying much.
People are RTing him into my TL and it turns my stomach how he’s directing traffic to his own website to give out info on how to volunteer for PBO. After what he’s done over the last 4 years, I find him disgusting. He’s a complete selfish egomaniac.
only +ve is as BobFr said he has gazillion twits following him. So if they are his ‘true believers’…. then win/win for us.
After tomorrow, he will go back to trashing obama and we will go back to trashing him đ
Imagine if he’d used his brain in 2010 – maybe we wouldn’t be in this RWNJ mess he helped create.
The day he apologizes for the damage he and the whiny left did in 2010 is the day I’ll start paying some attention to him again.
Glad he’s on board, but still…….
You know AMK, I just love your wise practicality just as much as I love Bobfr’s wise practicality. Today and tomorrow I will welcome the support of Michael Moore, Chris Matthews, and others. On November 7th, after the President has been re-elected, I will have my chance to say to them exactly how I felt about their betrayal that gave us a Republican dominated House of Representatives. This is not the time to dis people who are trying to help President Obama win re-election. I also hope we are big enough to forgive those who strayed but are now desperately trying to come back home. Just my two cents.
May be a slip of the tongue, but I find myself calling it Re-Election Day! Saw an elderly man in the retirement home today proudly sporting his button: CURE ROMNESIA – VOTE OBAMA! he admired my Obama-bling! We did a fist bump! Have handed out couple hundred lapel stickers this past week…. People love ’em!
gawd, made it on time, I think, tell me I,m on time. Got Cspan up but nothing showing…whining here. help
You’re in plenty of time Smoothscotch! Posting a heads up soon đ
I’ll bet PBO is thrilled to be with FLOTUS again!!
Darn—-missed Obama’s ESPN interview—–anyone catch it?
In case you missed it.
It is almost 10:30 pm ET. The last campaign rally that pres Obama will ever have. I am still wide awake and No sign of fatigue. This is awesome. I am just filled with lots of energy. I made calls for 2 hours. It has been just a Blessed day.
Heads up!
