Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Saturday morning. Congrats Don, on being first this morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and the sacrifices you are making for us TOD’ers. š«šššā¤
To all, I hope that you reflect and remain firm, steadfast, and true-blue to your vision each day, especially today. ā¤ ā¤ ā¤
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. āš āš āš
~None of this is accidental, and Hillary Clinton knows it. Conservative moneymen have spent inordinate sums of money to paint a sinister picture of her, using sophisticated propaganda techniques to render her toxic to the American electorate.~
This is a powerful video. I cried not just because of this beautiful girl but because I was one of those americans that after decades of conditioning I too developed a negative inner emotion when the name Hillary was spoke. Decades and millions of dollars have been spent by the GOP and pushed by the media, to have us all part of the great “PAVLOV”S DOG” experiment in America. For that I too must say I am sorry for my part in the early anti-Hillary camp. She is a strong woman, that has endured so much vile and hate. Who amongst us could still be standing with our head up. Thank you Hillary.
I just watched it and shared it on my Facebook. Love that mom in it.
Hey, Bill. You were right. I got my ballot today. I voted and will mail it out on Monday. Although I may just take it to the mailbox tomorrow instead. My Dad voted in the Primary of 2008 for Barack while he was in the skilled care unit and I took it in for him right away. He died two days later. I remember thinking I would always turn my ballot in immediately cuz you never know when it is your turn to go.
*The wage gap between men and women is a prominent issue for many female Democratic politicians. The right keeps trying to discredit them as hypocrites, but their charges are based on misinformation and faulty methodology.*
Good West Coast morning TOD family and thanks so much NW š¹
Calling all SoCal TOD peeps including lurkers.
We need you to help us GOTV during Nov 5,6,7 & 8th. If you can, please come to the United Democratic Headquarters, 400 S. Lake, in Pasadena and volunteer an hour to make calls using our virtual phone dialing or drop off Water, Coffee, Snacks. The shifts will run from 9am to 9pm and we will be calling several battleground States.
Any and all assistance will be GREATLY appreciated.
The national campaign leaders are counting on California. Let’s not let Hillary down.
For those in other States, your campaign offices would appreciate this support too. š
I’m going to come up and drop off supplies for sure, just have to figure out when to phone bank. Will know what’s going on soon, so will sign up by Monday.
For anyone interested in signing up, please go to: hillaryclinton.com. Scroll down and put in zip code 91107. Then scroll to Pasadena for Hillary at United Dem Headquarters.
*Itās probably a distant memory for most people now, but during both of Barack Obamaās presidential campaigns (as well as during his administration), one of the things we heard regularly from pundits was that he was lucky. Here is part of what Gary Younge wrote about that back in 2012:
Barack Obama has often been lucky with his enemiesā¦
Now, as he heads for reelection, he must be saying a prayer every day in thanks for Mitt Romneyā¦
The principal beneficiary would be Obama. The president should be fighting for his life. Instead, heās living on his luck.*
The opponents for PBO and Sec Clinton were chosen by the GOP – presumably they choose the best they have available – or they are slam dunk stupid (probably both). Media never mentions “luck” when a republican wins – it always comes back to that divine right to rule, that never ending thought that democrats have ideals but GOPers do the work
The past 8 years have shown just how wrong they are. Listening to PBO introducing the concert above – he researches every last thing related to what he does. He knows it all. Hillary is doing the same – there is no luck – there in intelligence, knowledge and giving 100% each and every day.
Some of my family lives in DC and even in this non contested city there are long, long lines to early vote today. It’s happening all over the country. A good sign for Dems. I just pray it holds.
Come by our headquarters and see all of the exciting volunteers making calls and supporting Hillary. You can pick up an item or two for you and your family š
I so wish I could. You may not know this, in 1984, I did kinda canvass for mondale. I mean, I tagged along with my ny jewish classmate to some campaign event in queens. Of course, didn’t understand the head or tail of it, but was happy to be there.
Iowa is the spot where Donald Trump stands his best chance of turning a blue state red, but Hillary Clintonās campaign team is aiming to quell that possibility by turning loyal Republicans into Democratic voters.
At households where voters have long participated in GOP primaries and caucuses, Clinton volunteers are knocking on doors asking for the women in the house. The Democratic nomineeās aides also are sending mail to Republican women and advertising to them online with reminders to vote.
Liz Cox, a West Des Moines school-board member who was elected as a delegate to the Polk County GOP convention this spring, said volunteers from Mrs. Clintonās campaign called her repeatedly to ask for her support. Though she backed Mitt Romney in 2012, Ms. Cox said she will vote for Mrs. Clinton Nov. 8.
///
Though the Clinton campaign has a robust team in Iowa, it appears to be placing less emphasis on the state than some other places. Mrs. Clinton hasnāt visited Iowa since Sept. 29, and on Thursday, the campaign sent its high-powered surrogates elsewhereāfirst lady Michelle Obama spoke in Arizona, President Barack Obama campaigned in Florida and Vice President Joe Biden stumped in New Hampshire.
Meanwhile, volunteers at a Clinton phone bank in Ankeny on Monday night called supporters inviting them to see former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who planned several stops in Iowa on Thursday and Friday.
I don’t think it works for sites that give x free reads per month (NYT, WP) but I find deleting all cookies for those sites – then close & open the browser – sets the count back to zero – most of the time (still the odd issue)
It was a rare feel-good moment in a vicious campaign: Flanked by House Speaker Paul Ryan in an elementary school this week, freshman GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo promoted a pet program to help children of immigrants in his Hispanic-heavy district learn English.
But across town at that very moment, Curbelo’s Democratic opponent was staging a protest timed to Ryan’s visit. The message from former Rep. Joe Garcia: A vote for Curbelo is worse than a vote for Donald Trump. No matter that the freshman Republican has opposed Trump all year long.
When it comes to House Democratsā ongoing quest to hitch Trumpās offensive comments to vulnerable GOP incumbents, Republicans representing districts with large Latino populations are feeling the most heat. Their nominee has called illegal immigrants ārapists,” ācriminalsā ā and, at the last debate, ābad hombres.” Not to mention Trump’s calls for forced deportation and a towering border wall.
Democrats are sparing no effort or expense on the strategy. Their success, particularly in places like Florida’s 26th district, where three of every four residents are Latino, could go a long way in deciding whether Democrats can pull off a once-unthinkable takeover of the House.
This article made me very angry. PA has a state rule that poll watchers must come from the county where the polling place is located. But the PA Republican Party doesn’t ‘trust’ Philadelphia County to certify honest poll watchers, so they are asking that judges overturn the state rule to allow them to invade the biggest and most populous county in the state. I hope the judges tell them where they can put this blatantly racist/threatening move. Philadelphia does not need help from the Republican Party in other counties. Apparently the Philadelphia DA feels the same way and has asked for increase numbers of ‘county’ poll watchers to be assigned to polling places. November 8 is going to be a very long day.

Everyone ignored Gore's live fact-check of Bush tax cut in 2000, instead mocking him for sighing; so USG lost $2.8 trillion & roads crumbled pic.twitter.com/zTt0OilsuY
Good morning TOD! I realize this is somewhat disrespectful, but it is not meant as disrespect. I am sooooooo going to miss this eye candy every day in the Oval Office!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is NO disrespect in appreciating his physical beauty, along with that of his mind and spirit. Damn, I’m going to miss this MAN, along with his wife, Michelle, beautiful daughters, Mother-in-Law, Uncle Joe and SLOTUS! I’m going to miss Team Obama, period!
The board of the nationās largest group of LGBT Republicans has voted to not endorse Donald Trump, in a contentious decision that did not reflect the preference of many of its chapters.
While the Log Cabin Republicans are united against Hillary Clinton, the groupās 14-member national board narrowly voted on Tuesday to āwithholdā an endorsement of the Republican nominee, according to Gregory T. Angelo, the organizationās president.
Itās the second time the official national group has chosen not to back the GOP nominee ā the prior time was 2004 for George W. Bush. The move reflects struggles throughout the Republican coalition, though for LGBT conservatives itās been particularly wrenching. Trumpās rhetoric, they say, has been more pro-gay than any presidential nominee in history.
ha, ha, ha, …. I bet the US Secret Service agents had a hard time trying to position themselves in their preferred position … but of course all was well because PBO was in the WH and with people who admire, respect, love, and treasure him and his family
What we've found about undecideds is they dislike both Clinton/Trump, but prefer Obama's direction for country to Trump's. Could help HRC https://t.co/n4fQYtg8H0
Lawd but he’s ugly – inside and out. There are folks look good on the outside, ugly on the inside, some folks (ummmm – we know who) are beautiful inside and out – and then there is this goon – bigly ugly every which way what way
Hello TOD š
Gorgeous Weather in MN. 63F & Sunny.
Thanks to NW, TOD is Rocking & Rolling.
Congrats, to all the Gold ā winners, starting with this Post and the post from last Night.
{{{ ā¤ Chips ā¤ }}}
oh dear ……, possible that it is not even ten people ..;
why do some people with a recognizable name even endorse the demagogue who is going to loose so badly? I know these people believe in his message but it is a toxic brand association
It was a total mockery of President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and the war fought there, for Trump to be anywhere near to do his personal bidding. He needs to give his little rallies at Waffle Houses on exit ramps on the interstates, no offense to Waffle Houses. Forget the historical places, Donald. Nobody wants you there. It’s the bizarre sub-human version of Where’s Waldo.
Luckily, I missed it. Couldn’t bear to listen to his voice even one more time. I think when Nov. 8 comes, we need to “have the ball drop” in Times Square – it’ll be like a new year! I despise that pos.
Popping in quickly to talk about the NorCal GOTV for Dems.
We called iowa on Thursday, great response, lots of folks voting for HRC, voting by mail, very polite in Iowa
This morning it was NC – lots of support, early voting is taking place, and support for the candidate for Governor and Senate is strong.
It is such a treat to get on the dialer and see SO MANY swing states. Arizona is on the list. This is amazing
To anyone who isn’t volunteering at their local Demo office, don’t be scared. The folks we are calling are nice, there is something for everyone to do.
If you can’t run the computer and dialer, you can bring snacks to the folks who are working or call local folks on your phone and invite them to come down.
Will be so glad when this person is a distant nightmare. I dream of a huge sigh of relief on 11/9 and of the ability to go into the holiday season even more thankful than I am usually. We really need to reform our elections in major ways; too much time, too much money, no vetting to keep ignorant people who know nothing about our laws, no requirements for basic character, gerrymandering, voter suppression, not enough voting places, systems that can be easily hacked, and so many other ills. We can do better and we must, the health of our republic depends upon it. We need serious journalists who will do the job of investigating, fact checking, and providing unbiased information so that citizens can make up their own minds. We need to make it easier for smart, principles people to run and to have a pipeline of new people ready to run for various offices. A country this large can do better than tired retreads from the same families and sideshow freaks. After we wipe off the muck of this embarrassing election season, we need to find ways to make our electoral process worthy of this nation. Too many people depend upon us, here and abroad, for us to continue this downward spiral in reality tv elections.
Agree so much with all you’ve said. This: ” tired retreads from the same families and sideshow freaks.” Why I didn’t want any more Bushes or Clintons. But, as it stands, HRC is the most qualified and our best chance of continued forward movement. I’m very willing to give her a chance and believe she’ll be a good president. Keep hope alive !!
I repeat: I will represent pro bono anyone #Trump sues for exercising their free speech rights. Many other lawyers have offered to join me. https://t.co/LJf6TtmGZU
Looks like Eric Trump has a muy mal understanding of Spanish.
The Donaldās middle son was played for a fool at a North Carolina rally when he posed for a photo with a young woman wearing a āLatinas Contra Trumpā shirt.
āNo one at the rally realized my shirt said AGAINST trump,ā a giddy Annie Cardelle, 23, tweeted along with the photo.

Not sure how many of these undecideds will vote. If they don’t know at this point, they may well sit it out. If not, there is this:
I predicted many months ago he would be at 60% by the time of the election, working towards it!
He’s already there – just add the GOP bias in gallup
Lawd but he’s ugly – inside and out. There are folks look good on the outside, ugly on the inside, some folks (ummmm – we know who) are beautiful inside and out – and then there is this goon – bigly ugly every which way what way
Per Gallup, President Obama is at 57% Approval. Now, add another 5-7% points…..That’s Real.

Looks like Eric Trump has a muy mal understanding of Spanish.
The Donaldās middle son was played for a fool at a North Carolina rally when he posed for a photo with a young woman wearing a āLatinas Contra Trumpā shirt.
āNo one at the rally realized my shirt said AGAINST trump,ā a giddy Annie Cardelle, 23, tweeted along with the photo.
āCongrats, y’all played yourselves.ā
New post.
