    late night update: Pretty important here....first of all, Obama seems to now own a small projected lead in Florida where he has won 4 out of 5 of the latest polls...
    Rachel Maddow showed the Rick Scott has successfully early voting hours so that EARLY voting lines are 3 - 5 hours waiting, as predicted and desired by Repug asshole consultants.

    Crist's extension of voting hours in 2008 so pissed ofg the Repug leaders that they dumped him.

    It's gonna be close but Barry will be more popular than Romney and the electors will vote for a 4th term of Bush that Barry will serve.

    The sad part of that video is that it sounds like every political discussion I have had with the conservatives in my very conservative state. At least I now know the South isn't the only place with people like that.

    People are sheep and buy into the propaganda. They think their guy is a god and a miracle worker and can magically make things better instantly.

    What is really scary is that low information voters, like some of those in the video, will be deciding who is the President for the next four years and the direction of the US...

    Yep, that is unfortunately true. Romney supporters truely believe that abortion will be banned and gay people will be "cured" if he is elected. Obama supporters think they're going to get free abortions, free birth control pills, and free gay marriage if Obama gets a 2nd term.

    Well, I don't know about all that, but cutting back on spending is the last thing we should be doing right now...economic wise....the 16 trillion dollars is a very manageable part of the GDP....

    As much as I want things to get better, I don't see it happening any time soon. Bush, his minions, and the rest of the heartless evil pricks in Washington D.C. ed up America big time and it's gonna take a while to repair the damage. 9/11, nation building in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other parts in the Middle East, and basically destroying the house market put a huge amount of debt on America. A lot of this debt started with 9/11. I know people don't want to hear it but it's true. 9/11 was the catalyst for this .

    Eh, there are plenty of stupid Obama supporters out there too -- and a load of stupid alternative candidate supporters.

    I always take these with a grain of salt -- no partisan has ever included an intelligent, thoughtful response from a supporter of the opposition and I know they're out there.

    The Muslim atheist bit was pretty funny tho.

    Very sad how both Romney and Obama supporters are low on information.

    I have come to the conclusion that there are loads of people who simply have no clue what the word Muslim means. They seem to think it is an ethnicity - like Puerto Rican. His dad was Muslim, so he is too. How else can you be Muslim and an atheist; or be Muslim and at the same time criticized for your years of attending a black liberation theology Christian church?

    Didn't Obama meet his dad when he was like 10 years old? And didn't Obama meet his dad like once or twice? From what I've read, his dad seemed like a piece of . Obama was raised by his mom and her parents.

    Obama is a 4-5 favorite to win the electoral college Tuesday

    Nov. 2: For Romney to Win, State Polls Must Be Statistically Biased
    By NATE SILVER


    President Obama is now better than a 4-in-5 favorite to win the Electoral College, according to the FiveThirtyEight forecast. His chances of winning it increased to 83.7 percent on Friday, his highest figure since the Denver debate and improved from 80.8 percent on Thursday.

    Friday’s polling should make it easy to discern why Mr. Obama has the Electoral College advantage. There were 22 polls of swing states published Friday. Of these, Mr. Obama led in 19 polls, and two showed a tie. Mitt Romney led in just one of the surveys, a Mason-Dixon poll of Florida.
    http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes...ically-biased/

    lthough the fact that Mr. Obama held the lead in so many polls is partly coincidental — there weren’t any polls of North Carolina on Friday, for instance, which is Mr. Romney’s strongest battleground state — they nevertheless represent powerful evidence against the idea that the race is a “tossup.” A tossup race isn’t likely to produce 19 leads for one candidate and one for the other — any more than a fair coin is likely to come up heads 19 times and tails just once in 20 tosses. (The probability of a fair coin doing so is about 1 chance in 50,000.)

    Instead, Mr. Romney will have to hope that the coin isn’t fair, and instead has been weighted to Mr. Obama’s advantage. In other words, he’ll have to hope that the polls have been biased in Mr. Obama’s favor.

    Then there is the Alabama-LSU Rule

    There are many prognosticators of who will win the 2012 Presidential Election such as the Halloween Masks, the Redskins Rule, the Lakers Law, and the World Series Winner. However, one of the lesser known sports prognosticators happens to be the Alabama-LSU Rule. The rule states that if Alabama wins the matchup between the two rivals, a Democrat will win the race for the White House. If LSU wins, a Republican will win.

    So, what is the track record of this rule? Let's take a look.

    1984: LSU 16, Alabama 14. Ronald Reagan (R) demolishes Walter Mondale (D).

    1988: LSU 19, Alabama 18. George H.W. Bush (R) defeats Michael Dukakis (D).

    1992: Alabama 31, LSU 11. Bill Clinton (D) defeats George H.W. Bush (R).

    1996: Alabama 26, LSU 0. Clinton (D) defeats Bob Dole (R).

    2000: LSU 30, Alabama 28. George W. Bush (R) defeats Al Gore (D).

    2004: LSU 26, Alabama 10. George W. Bush (R) defeats John Kerry (D).

    2008: Alabama 27, LSU 21. Barack Obama (D) defeats John McCain (R).

    Tonight, LSU and Alabama faced off once again. The result Alabama 21, LSU 17.

    This means that President Obama will win re-election on Tuesday.

    Tired of Nate Silver?

    Here are 5 excellent election models to follow.
    Sam Wang @ the Princeton Election Consortium actually projected 2008 within 1 EV.
    And if I remember correctly Intrade nailed it right on the money in 2008.

    So, regardless of who wins the house is not going to change its position. How are we going to get past the grid lock or is four more years of the same congressional politics just fine with everyone?
    A lot better than the re ed House getting their garbage bills signed into law.

    "the house is not going to change its position. How are we going to get past the grid lock"

    we won't. The Repugs will continue to produce 10s of bills and amendments on abortion to continue to sucker "Christian" single-issue voters into voting against their own interests, Ryan will get his sociopathic budget passed over and over and over in the House, beyond the two times already passed, only to have it blocked by the Dems in the Senate.

    The Repug Senators will filibuster everything Dem, if they can't kill it in committee.

    The House Repugs, running all the House committees, will continue to gut and defund regulations and regulatory agencies, eg, the current defunding of FDA for food inspection, ing up and killing people and the environment.

    For the Repugs, "govt IS THE problem" has a solution in willfully misgoverning and destroying govt.
