WTF??
WTF are you talking about here?
It already talks about this video.
Wow…WTF????????????????
You apparently didn’t go over to the diary and read. I’m sorry. It’s only a link away.
Sorry Stein, you don’t get to fill the top of this thread with your epic fail.
JEWS FOR MCCAIN!
Who John McCain and his supporters are:
Have you no shame?
It was Miss Scarlett with the rope in the Billiard Room.
Krugman points out that the GOP is going down.
And based on the McCain campaign (if you can call it that), it should.
Are you the lib version of Nancy Underpants?
Just a suggestion. Maybe you need to hit the Zinn a little harder. The Bill of Rights was neither signed nor put into effect in 1776.

Been getting a slew of emails this afternoon urging me to take to the phones (yet again) and call people to urge ’em to vote.
Is this just incredible Obama GOTV overkill or is there really some indication that people aren’t voting in the numbers they indicated in the polls?
From the SOS
As of 7:00p.m. on Monday, November 3, 2008
Total Number of Eligible Electors: 3,208,878
– Active Registered Voters: 2,638,211
82.2%
– Inactive Registered Voters: 570,667
17.8%
General Election Participation Statistics
% of Total Active Voters*
– Number of Mail-In Ballots Received 1,339,065 50.8%
– Number of Early Voting Ballots Cast 365,215 13.8%
Interesting that 11% of the mail-in ballots haven’t come back yet. If you’re not going to do it, why waste the paper and money?

In this election? What? Who? Why?
Colorado and New Mexico are closer than first thought, GOTV will be key in the next 4 hours, I’ll be driving little old ladies to the polls on behalf of Mac.
And an abundance of caution.
Remember, winners play through to the end of the game.
I asked the Obama office if they needed me today or should I go pass out A-58 flyers. They said go do A-58. Talked to 3 GOTV canvassers while passing out flyers, they’re finding almost everyone has voted or is at work and will vote on the way home.
And then just now, got an e-mail from Move-On saying that the Obama campaign desperately needs more people and get down there. I think they’re just blasting that out to everyone regardless.
talked to a coworker who lives/votes in Denver. He said when he showed up to volunteer at the Obama office he was turned away because there were already 50 others and there was nothing for him to do.
No lines, turnout looks like crap. We’re hoping people will show up later this afternoon/evening, but so far it’s discouraging. Don’t know if GOTV is working, though. People may be tuning out the phone calls and door-knocking just like they’ve been tuning out the political ads.
Boulder has 186k active voters, 82k Dems. Of those, 122k and 59k voted early or mail-in, respectively. That’s a 65.6% turnout (72% for Dems) from the active voter list. That might be responsible for the “low” voter turnout.
I was at Mesa Elem which has 2 precencts and they had maybe 100 voters today up till 5:00. I’m also worried that the remaining voters will be MIA.

From The Orange Devil er something.
and it’s been DESERTED in Jeffco. I have a bad feeling everyone is waiting for 5pm to got to the polls, and it’ll be worse than 2006…
It’s pretty sick looking at the photos of huge, long, brutally long lines in the eastern states (just take a look at the msnbc frontpage’s slide show). Is it that hard to institute a vote early system like we have? Jesus….
Better yet, we should all be going the Oregon route.
I think some states just don’t want to do it. I’m not a big fan of early voting, but obviously it makes “election day” easier.
All mail voting definitely seems like the best way to go.
Mail-in not good from an election security standpoint. But tonight’s about the election, and I’d rather leave discussion over more voting reforms until tomorrow. Assuming anyone is sober tomorrow…
fair enough.
that’s a pretty big “assumption” you’re making. 🙂
if you implement a voter-verifier system, which would be exceedingly easy. if only elections officials possessed any technical sophistication….
To me it’s a no brainer.
Obama by 4-4.5% in Indiana and 8% in VA
I don’t know if I believe it…but that’s the number…
McCain up 1.5-2% in GA
Obama up 2.5-3% in NC
IN looks close.
but the breakdown of how late deciders broke big for Obama. That surprises me and bodes very well for him (at least in Indiana and probably else where if the trend holds)
Ok, the polls all said we would get this one, but it could have flipped between McCain’s push there and all kinds of reasons people might have lied to the pollsters.
It’s 0% reporting so clearly it’s exit polls and they must be pretty strong for ABC to say this.
With PA McCain’s road to a win is virtually impossible.
56-42 in the exits
The guys at FiveThirtyEight said that NH and GA were the most interesting states. In the case of NH it was that if McCain did well there then his maverick/independent schtik was selling.
It’s Obama 57/42 so by that measure, a very good sign for Obama.
Let the Republican comeback begin!
You betcha…
If the VA and NC exit polls hold true then Obama will add both to PA, NH and IN and the march to 400 EV’s is on…..
looks like from the anecdotal data that GOTV for McCain is non-existent in rural red Virginia
The vote totals so far give McCain a nice lead. But according to MSNBC we have:
If Obama takes IN and VA then stick a fork in McCain because he’s done.
wins the men and wins the women, what about the rest?
Where is the Obama GOTV? CNN called the senate race for Werner early on. Virginia is supposed to be a bell weather state…….
anyway…Warner was never in a serious race. Obama is up 8% or so in the exits. He’ll be fine…
Warner is winning a ton of the rural white vote Obama couldn’t come close to winning over.
is the finest speech he ever gave.
