WTF were you doing in Ohio?
Nothing good comes from Ohio.
Nothing.
There was a mosque down the street. No lie. I guess that settles it.

Why do you hate America?
Saw quite a bit of Obama/Biden signs in the PA-NJ border (bordering the delaware river) over the weekend.
The Oak Cliff area in Dallas is Obama country - the poor minority parts, the white urban hipster parts, and the extremely wealthy parts. Nearly every damn lawn had an Obama sign.
Meanwhile, my West Fort Worth neighborhood is McCain territory. His yard signs outnumber Obama 3:1.
Massive voter fraud being perpetrated in FL:
http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2008/...extends-e.htmlCrist extends early voting hours
Gov. Charlie Crist on Tuesday afternoon issued an order expanding the hours of early voting up to 12 hours a day through Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and a total of 12 weekend hours, between 7 a.m. Saturday and 7 p.m. Sunday. (The law allowed for a maximum of eight hours a day and a total of eight on the weekend).
At a hastily arranged news conference, Crist said the right to vote is sacred and that "many have fought and died for this right." He said he consulted a leading Democratic legislator, Rep. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach, before issuing his order, and that Gelber knew of a similar order issued by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2002 that dealt with helping voters deal with new equipment. (Buzz audiohere.)
As to the perception that more early voting helps Democrats, Crist said: "This is not a political decision. This is a people decision." (audio here)
Last week, all nine Democrats in the Florida congressional delegation wrote a letter urging him to expand early voting and to order all early voting sites to be open on Sunday.
Early balloting in Florida so far favors Democrats, while Republicans hold an advantage in absentee voting. Waits of up to four hours have been reported in precincts in heavily-Democratic Broward County.
This is horrible. Who the wants to allow more people to vote????
Not the GOP:
"He just blew Florida for John McCain," one plugged in Florida Republican just told me.

McCain is on a roll now and I predict things will begin to tighten up and it is going to be a close finish.
Ladies and gentlemen....I'm getting nervous and yes, my friends I'm watching all the networks and going into full election mode.
Come on BARACK!!! CLOSE THE DEAL!!!
Thanks for the pics Manny...reminds me of my younger days.
They need to make the presidential election a federal holiday. End of story.Massive voter fraud being perpetrated in FL:

Yeah, everyone will get hammered the night before. The Democrats who are too hungover to vote will be offset by the Republicans who are still drunk and vote for Democrats as a joke.
We will likely surpass the early voting mark from 2004 today (we've probably already passed it rather) and we still have a full 3 days left of early voting. The last couple of days are always huge. (this is for Bexar County) We have about 860 registered voters in this county so we've already had about a 30% turnout!!!
The turnout is likely to be earth shattering this time around. Election day will be a mad house.
I voted at 10:45 AM and there was a line. People were taking off from work to stand in line and vote. The last two elections, it was in and out. I'm curious to see the final numbers after the election.
They update the numbers on a daily basis. As of yesterday we had 225k (and change) votes cast in Bexar county. The total for the entire EV period last time around was 256k and change. Yesterday we had 33k vote so we could easily see that number surpassed tonight when those votes are totaled.
I don't see how anyone (other than whottt) can spin this as beneficial to the GOP and McCain. If there is huge turnout I really wonder what thats going to do to the Senate race here. If I'm Cornyn I don't like these numbers.
Oh yeah, and today's polls:
Bexar county huh? Do you live in San Antone? If so, which part? I used to be stationed at Randolph AFB.
Weather is a huge factor in turnout.
good weather = higher turnout = better for Dems
(is why Dems push voter registration and Get Out The Vote)
bad weather = lower turnout = better for Repugs
(is why Repgus do voter disenfranchisement/purging/intimidation, sending postcards with wrong polling place, and even wrong voting days)
I think about 80% of this forum likely lives here. I live out by Sea World.
Don't you know that all this extra turnout in Austin is for McCain?
Where do they update the numbers at? I'm looking for Travis county.
Crist's name is certainly mud with the RNC and McNasty's team.
Where is Katherine Harris when the Repugs REALLY need her to steal FL?

Thats a better page than what I've been using. Awesome figures so far.
To be fair, the lowest totals are from Hidalgo, El Paso, and Cameron counties which are counties that are predominantly Hispanic. That doesn't appear to be very good news until you look at the past totals at this point
El Paso
04
56,623 - 15.23%
08
65,904 - 16.96%
Hidalgo
04
31,587 - 11.71%
08
49,370 - 16.18%
Cameron 04 numbers aren't available because it wasn't in the top 15 counties by population then. Its pretty similar to Hidalgo with regards to demographics though.
But anyway, the point remains that in these places where the voters are a demographic that goes strongly for Obama but does not turnout as well the turnout is DRAMATICALLY increased in early voting so far.
High turnout favors the Democrats
This is one of the great myths of modern American politics...and one that is completely steeped in utter cluelessness.
Tell me...why is high turnout good for the Democrats?
I want to see some evidence of this....
I'll start the ball rolling, the last Presidential election featured a record number of votes cast...the Republicans won.
The last major congressional election featured an extremely low turnout., the Democrats won.
I look back and I see nearly every record breaking turnout of the last 40 years has favored the Republicans....
I want you to show me the reasons high turnout is good for the Democrats...prove this bit of myopia is true.
Do you really need to be told why the last presidential election broke turnout records?
WHAT? The 2006 congressional election had the best turnout since 1970. Try again?
