| Election Day Open ThreadHard to believe the day has finally arrived. Vote. Volunteer. What's everyone seeing out there? A little motivational music below. The second verse seems especially apt, doesn't it? UPDATE - Via Mama AJ, a song for you cultured morons. Both of you: This song may actually be angrier than the first.Comments1

Obama is gaining on his early vote totals, and is on the road to victory. 93% Nate Silver, 78% on Intrade.

I am voting in Southern California, the polling place was headed up by an Asian lady who could barely have spoken conversational English. It took 10 minutes per voter to get through the regi line. Many Republicans in Suit and ties had to leave the line , so they could get to work and support Governor Moonbeams crazy agenda while the Petulli Oil and Obamaites stood in line. It only told me Obama will mostlikely take California, but there will be a large number of Romney voters pissing down the rat hole out here, actually flooding the rat hole.

I arrived at the polls at 7:05, five minutes after they opened.
There were 120 people in line in front of me outside the polling location. No idea how many inside. It took 40 minutes to get to the front of the line. Once there, I counted 100 people behind me still in line. When I finished voting, there were still 100 people outside in line. Wife got to the polls at 10:30, mid morning. Still 100 people in line, and she waited 30 minutes to get inside. The election judge inside had this wide eyed look of amazement and said he has never in all his years seen this many people show up to vote. In 2004 there were 20 people in line when I got there at the same time, and this county turned out Bush's largest margin in Florida in the election. This is a very red county.

I'm in South St. Paul, Peoples Republic of Minnesota. *sigh*
There was a long line of new registrations at my polling place. Usually at 10am I walk right in to vote and there are no lines at all. We have two ballot questions that I believe are bringing them out - 1) voter ID, 2) marriage protection amendment. The libtards have been non-stop TV advertising lying about the affects of both. They're even saying it'll cost us millions and have to completely redo our voting system to use ID. I think most of these new voters are airheads that believed it. The rest are young idiots who think two lesbians meet the universal criteria for "marriage". I had hoped Minnesota would narrowly opt for RR, but this does not look good.

Just returned from voting in San Diego county. Almost cried at the polls, seeing parents with children, obviously explaining the process to them and the kids paying attention. On to the supermarket, where people were buying large quantities of liquor. One man started a conversation behind me, telling someone else that it was for watching election returns and that he planned to celebrate. The other guy said in a low voice, "Romney?" and got the affirmative, so I chimed in, pointing to my "I Voted" sticker and just said "Romney".Someone else spoke up and mentioned that I should buy champagne. I looked to see if anyone was buying pudding but no one was....just alcohol. Now to read more about what the hell is going on in Philadelphia.

so anyway, I had a rude awakening this morning at the polling place. Usually, I get to the polls around 6:55 AM, grab my ballot, vote, and am back in the car by 7:05 AM.
Not today. I arrived at the polling place at 6:50 AM, and took my place at the end of the line, I figured I was 200 or so back (turns out I was 183rd in line). For a small (but tiny!) semi-rural suburb of The Peoples' Republik of AnnArbor, the turn-out was HUGE! At one point, one of the election workers apologized for how slow the line was moving. I replied "That's OK, I've been waiting for four years already, another hour isn't a big deal" Go VOTE!!!! Posted by: AltonJackson at November 06, 2012 12:04 PM (1EUmb) 111
I voted early this morning. Our turnout in Oklahoma is huge. We're a red state for sure, but I sincerely hope the turnout is this large in every State in the Union.

Voter turnout seemed much higher than usual here in my precinct near Los Angeles. There has been (unscientific measurement here) about a 2-to-1 advantage for Romney yard signs and bumper stickers over the SCOAMF's, coupled with a hot contest for the State Assembly seat that the Republican has led throughout the campaign season by a wide margin. My SWAG is that Republican voters are coming out in force.

Waited over two and a half hours to vote at our local town hall in PA. The election staff were horribly inefficient and incompetent.
My sister lives in PA. Every time I chat with her on the phone -- and I'm not exaggerating; it's literally every time -- she has a new story of Pennsylvanian incompetence to share with me. She's convinced PA has to be home to some of the most across-the-board incompetent people in the country. It drives her nuts, and my B-I-L even nuttier. Their first week there a few years ago he nearly ended up punching a desk clerk at AAA. When she sees a story on the news about someone somewhere doing something incredibly stupid, the reaction these days is usually, "Must be from PA." So to all PA based Morons and Moronettes: you have my sympathies.

Just before 9 a.m., as his opponent campaigned in Ohio, Obama walked into the Hyde Park office, whipped off his suit jacket and tossed it on a chair. “Let’s get busy,” he told the campaign staffers around him, “we’ve got to round up some votes.” Then he joined some phone bankers at a table, picked up a flip-style cellphone and made several calls to voters in Wisconsin. "Hi. Is this Annie? This is Barack Obama,” the president said, according to a pool report. “This is Barack Obama. You know, the president?" "She was very nice to me even though she initially didn't know who I was," Obama said after the call. "Hi, this is Barack Obama!" *click* "Hello? Yello?"

We're seeing Christie's true colors now. I've always had my suspicions.
__ He's done really good work educating his citizens about the teachers unions and municipal unions' parasitic hold on the state. But he had a couple widely publicized missteps, such as when he AND the Lt. Gov. went on vacation the same week that Snowmageddon came up the coast. And he defended his decision, because of course it was all about him. Then there was the time he took a state chopper to his kid's softball game. Then of course that weird speech at the GOP convention. It's a good thing he was outed before PE Romney starts considering his appointments.

Drudge link to Fox News Further, one polling site in Philadelphia apparently had a mural of President Obama emblazoned on the wall directly behind the voting machines. The mural, at a local school being used as a polling site, contained the words "change!" and "hope," along with a quote from the president. Republicans were drawing attention to the image Tuesday morning, with one Mitt Romney spokesman tweeting: "Voters in Philly's Ward 35 are being forced to cast their ballots next to this."

At that moment, every citizen is connected together as one nation. To vote is to be connected to the nation: alone with your conscience in the voting booth, connected with your fellow citizens when you vote. That moment makes all the worry and effort worthwhile.

I'll take it a step further. Obama barely won NC by a fraction of a point in 2008. If Romney doesn't blow out Obama by at LEAST a few points in NC this cycle, its game over Romney. Intrade, by the way, has NC at 80%, one of the few "swing" states it still has Romney ahead. Personally, I'm not worried about this at all. Romney has NC sewed up.

In Manchester, CT at 6:30 at the high school it was out the door. Busier than I remember from the last presidential election. Hopeful though, I was in front of a union machinist and his wife and kid, they voted straight ticket Republican (we were talking about finding a job for my kid) anyway I saw his ticket when he was putting it in the optical scanner.
Also there was a very young black chick dressed in a huge Romney/Ryan banner. They let her wear it in the polling station, I was surprised, but she seemed proud as punch, but she did move awfully fast on her way out, probably to keep from getting the crap beat out of her by all the minorities waiting in line.

Hubby, housemate and I got to our polling place at about a quarter to seven. Polls were due to open at 7:00am. We always go first thing in the morning because there's no line -- but this time the line was already about 30 people deep at 6:45am!
I saw one blue shirt and two blue denim jackets (which, of course, may have been just jackets) and stood in line behind three people wearing red or burgundy shirts. Everybody seemed happy and excited. There was a car in the parking lot with a "Marines" bumper sticker next to an "Obama '12" sticker. Go figure. I peeked at the voter roll as the poll workers were finding my name. It was a little discouraging at first -- "DEM DEM DEM DEM DEM DEM NPP DEM DEM DEM A/I DEM DEM NPP DEM DEM DEM DEM REP GRN DEM DEM DEM", etc. (but hey, that's my neighborhood for ya) -- but I think there's no way all those DEMs were going to vote for the 0. They didn't seem angry enough. :-) One gentleman was wearing a "Korean War Vet" ball cap. I thanked him for his service. No one seemed displeased by that. When we left, the line to vote was twice as long, and parents were starting to arrive with babies and children in tow. I don't think Romney will carry my precinct, let alone CA as a whole, but it will be too close for Obagman's comfort. (NPP = No Party Preference.)

Further, one polling site in Philadelphia apparently had a mural of
President Obama emblazoned on the wall directly behind the voting machines. The mural, at a local school being used as a polling site, contained the words "change!" and "hope," along with a quote from the president. Republicans were drawing attention to the image Tuesday morning, with one Mitt Romney spokesman tweeting: "Voters in Philly's Ward 35 are being forced to cast their ballots next to this."

I'm in the Pee Dee and there was a nice long line at 8am. I was in and out of there in about 35 minutes. I don't really know what that means, because I literally waited in line for 3.5 hours (at a different polling station) in '08 to vote for McCain. I think that time they got caught flat-footed by unexpected turnout, and this time, everything was running like a well-oiled machine.

I love the aura around Nate Silver. It comes from the fact that he got 49 out of 50 states right in 2008.
but seriously, think about that. That was a blow-out election. Everyone knew who was going to win. Furthermore, in this close election with just basic poll knowledge and know models, every single person here could go get 40 out of 50 states right. See, they use that 49 out of 50 number to try and impress, but really it's more like he ogt 9 out of 10 right because everyone knew how the other 40 would fall. And in a wave election, that suddenly isn't such a big deal. Posted by: Rich at November 06, 2012 12:22 PM (arczc) 274

Two things to consider: There are a lot of evangelicals who are being skimmed from the likely voter roles in polls but who will show up to vote. There are a lot of democrats in the early voting who are voting Romney. Its looking good if the fraud can be kept to historical levels, and there are a lot of volunteers out watching like never before and a lot of scrubbing to registered voters lists.

Nate Silver, famous for picking most of the elections accurately in 2008. That's like picking the winner in a fight between Godzilla and Bambi, it was obvious. Then he was stupidly wrong in 2010, and he's going to be even more humiliatingly wrong this year.
But it gives the left a ghost of a hope, against hope. They know he's wrong but want to hear something reassuring. Posted by: Christopher Taylor at November 06, 2012 12:24 PM (r4wIV) 289

I voted this morning, in the suburbs just north of Dallas, TX. Lines out the front door of city hall but moving fast. In and out in 30 minutes or so, and the line out the door was the same length when I left, around 80 people.
No signs our campaigns anywhere to be seen around city hall. A welcome sight compared to the gauntlet we had to go through at the last local election earlier this year. I also noted that most of the local offices and judges were unopposed Republican with a few Libertarian candidates but very few Democrat candidates on the ballot. Our county leans right, but I thought we had more Dems on the ballot last time. Posted by: Dax at November 06, 2012 12:27 PM (gUYGX) 313

Christie belongs in New Jersey, not at some fucking rally. I don't give a shit if I'm the only person here who thinks this. His "histrionics" and "backstabbing" and whatever bromance he had with the president fuckwit got things done here, for his constituents, and there is a ton more to do. I originally voted for him, but not because I wanted to ever see him at the national level, but to see him serve MY STATE. I am possibly the only person in my entire county to have voted for him but I followed Christie since he was attorney general. Sure, he is a blubbery blowhard but he got shit done back then as well. Christie did not swing anyone to vote for Obama. Did the incompetent Bloomberg convince anyone with his insanity and series of bad decisions? Give me a break.

Voted in upscale Vienna, Virginia. Long lines at around 11am. Only going by the color of sample ballot that people chose (some had both), it looked like a mixed bag of D's and R's. There is also a big mix for yard signs.
Republicans totally kicked ass on the GOTV. We had visits several times to the door (which is funny because I was walking other precincts), several calls a day, and a couple of door hangings. No Dems ever stopped by. Telling? That is the inverse of 2008. In my precinct in 2008, Obama won by 5.2%. However, in the 2009 election for Governor, the Republican McDonnell won by 5.5%. I don't think that there is a lot of turnover in these neighborhoods. I guess we'll find out late tonight. One of the election workers said that there had only been a couple of Provisional Ballots cast. Which will help out with the count at the end of the day. Provisional balloting could cause some headaches in Virginia. Posted by: Bob at November 06, 2012 12:44 PM (qwImh) 444

Taking my lunch break during my poll watching stint at a heavily (D) precinct in Bristol in Bucks County, PA. It is one damn cold day to be standing outside.
Not a local myself, but those who are say turnout is high. Looks like they're pulling in an average of 100 voters per hour between 9:00 and noon. (D) poll workers are grousing that the Dimbulbs are in the second column and not the first... 'cause O's the incumbent, y'know. I guess reading is FUNdamental for some folks.

CHICAGO—President Barack Obama stopped by a Democratic victory office
here Tuesday to encourage supporters and call volunteers in Wisconsin. The first person he reached on the phone took some time grasping who was on the other line. Before he left, according to the pool report, Obama picked up a Starbucks cup, sipped it, and realized it was someone else's."That's coffee, not tea," Obama said. "I thought that was my tea." It comes naturally for him. He's used to taking other people's things Posted by: TheQuietMan at November 06, 2012 12:46 PM (1Jaio) 461

I can't for the life of me figure how you can live in a 4-bedroom home
and vote for the party that brags about how they're going to steal all your shit and give it away to worthless bottom-feeders. Not to mention that party wants to double or triple the cost of heating that home, wants you pay an extra tax to sell that home when you realize you can't afford to heat it (in Obamacare), is working overtime to make sure you can't afford a vehicle to get to and from work from that home (oh, wait, they're also working overtime to make it impossible to hire you)....on and on and on.

Christie was simply stupid. He blew it. Was he faced with a crisis? Yes. Did it come at a very interesting time politically? Yes. Did he think through the potential ramifications of various courses of action and then decide up on one that would have maximized the benefit to his state without giving his, and his political allies',opponents a great benefit. Obviously not. He's a stupid, preening,limited man. His political career cannot come to an end fast enough.

Proper Russian vodka is potatoes, but that's actually rare now. The typical Russian brands are grains. Any grain can make vodka. Hell, they actually even use grapes.

The only way we'll ever know if pot legalization is the way to go is for a state to take it for a test drive first. Might as well have WA be the guinea pig.

And we have early voting - I voted last week! 2 coworkers arrived at the polls at 6:45 and stood in line to vote (both mormons, by the way). I am amazed at how many people went out to vote - maybe they're putting an exclamation point on Texas electoral college count?

AHAHA there it is. He's got Obama FAVORED to win Florida now. This man's fucking career is over by the end of the night. Posted by: Rich at November 06, 2012 12:27 PM (arczc)"I think there's a "Nate Silver bubble".Where I think it will get interesting to do a post-mortem on his model if Romney wins (which I definitely hope happens), is to compare his odds to the odds that would have been generated by Congressional district level polls, rather than state polls. If those CD polls are right and the GOP holds Congress, I think Romney wins. That will undercut the methodological rationale for using state-level Presidential polls to model the Presidential outcome. Basically, you would introduce more data to the model and data that's harder to fudge by using Congressional district data. Sure, you can talk "quality" issues with CD level polling, but I don't see that as a deal-breaker per se. Nor would "ticket-splitting" between Congressional and Presidential votes be one, as far as I can see. Anyway, rather than just call him a "hack", I figured I would throw out why, even if he isn't a hack per se, he could just be missing the forest for the trees.BTW, I do a lot of trading and use odds all day, every day. Seeing how the Left uses Silver exposes them for the degenerate idiots they are (yeah, I know, what's new?). They treat odds as if they were all that matters for a single round game, which the Presidential election most clearly is. I have trading models that win 70% of the time, but I'm not stupid enough to bet 70% of my bankroll on a single trade, whereas these idiots are so "all-in" they can't imagine losing.

Any conjecture about a poll before it closes is electioneering.

Need help on 1 WA state ballot measure legalizing pot. As a somewhat social libertarian, what do I care. As the son of a police officer, lock em up. I am leaning no only because it puts the state in conflict with the feds. Both the candidates running for Gov are against the measure but from what I can tell its going to pass. Speak to me moron horde. Posted by: AndrewsDad at November 06, 2012 12:42 PM (C2//T) As a libertarian, you should see putting the state in conflict with the feds, particularly on an issue where Dems agree with the state, as a very good thing. Issues like medical marijuana are where we're going to win Dems over to the idea of letting the states set their own laws. And it's going to take supporters in *both* parties to begin to roll back the centralization of federal authority in this country. So, I voted *yes* on the medical marijuana initiative here in MA.

I voted this morning in Norfolk, VA, a traditionally Democrat city. It took about one hour. On one of the local radio stations, folks calling in stated that voting in Virginia Beach was 2 1/2 hours at one precinct, and 3 hours in line at another. Virginia Beach tends to be Republican. One caller said "I would stay in line all day to vote in this election". I think there is a tidal wave of Republicans voting in Virginia. Just my 2 cents. I was in downtown Norfolk last night after the Obamabots left the free Stevie Wonder concert, all yelling "fired up" on the streets. I have my doubts if they are in line today.

Our local conservative talk show host says that he wants Romney to win, but the math just doesn't add up. Being no stranger to math, I'm here to tell you that applying math without first applying a heavy dose of logic will usually get you the wrong answer. If your model is flawed, and if your data is wrong, you can grind your numbers perfectly until the cows come home, and you still won't get it right. The last CNN poll is the poster child. It says "it's close - so, so, VERY close!!" But when you look at the internals, what it says is complete madness! I cringe when I think about what kind of torture must have been applied to those poor defenseless numbers, in order to get them to say what they wanted them to say. I say, "Leave those poor lil numbers alone!" Anyway, we must reject that which is logically inconsistant, and dead-reckon with logic (and yes, apply a little math). My congressional race is (allegedly) 50/50; this is not a deep red area. I have seen exactly ONE Obama yard sign ever. I don't know what the hell that means, but something VERY unusual is going on that nobody is talking about. Posted by: Optimizer at November 06, 2012 12:57 PM (Mxt9o) 564

Have ya'll read what's happening in Philadelphia?
From Powerline: It is being reported that Democratic Party operatives are evicting court-appointed Republican poll watchers from polling places in Philadelphia. Specifically, this reportedly has happened in Ward 32, Div 13; Ward 43, Div 14; Ward 56, Div 1; Ward 56, Div 22; Ward 32, Div 28; Ward 32, Div 28; Ward 12, Div 17; Ward 39, Div 1; Ward 24, Div 9; Ward 18, Div 25; Ward 43, Div 14; Ward 29, Div 18; Ward 65, Div 19; Ward 20, Div 1; and Ward 6, Div 11. The idea is to kick out the Republicans, then stuff the box with ballots marked for Obama. This is how some of these precincts have achieved 99 to 100% turnout in past elections. The story is, as they say, developing… UPDATE: The New Black Panthers are out, too, “guarding” the same voting location where they were criminally prosecuted for voter intimidation in 2008. The moral is that Republicans don’t just have to win elections, they have to win by an amount that exceeds the margin of fraud. UPDATE: The Romney campaign is reporting that 75 Republican poll watchers have been barred from precinct polling places in Philadelphia, in some cases by Democrats saying, “No Republicans will be allowed in the polling place.” The GOP has gone to court and obtained an order from the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas requiring the Republicans to be admitted to the polls and seated per their legal authority. However, there is no telling what mischief, in the form of voter fraud, the Democrats have committed in the meantime. For god's sake, is this happening in the USA?

He said when they walked in everything went quiet and nobody would look at them. When he finally got in front of someone to ask what to do (they recently moved to the neighborhood and were first time voters) a poll worker gruffly told them to sign in and show their IDs. (First time voters have always had to show ID in PA). They hassled his wife because her ID did not have her married last name on it. Then the other onespat out"well, I guess there are two votes for Romney." When they finished voting the poll workers refused to give them the "I Voted" stickers.

He blew the big boy test. The crisis got to him. He panicked. I'm dead sure he regrets his slobbering over Obama, and will for the rest of his life. His gruff Jersey schtick is just that.

Legalized weed has worked out fine in CO. I'd vote yes. Sure its not really healthy but neither is prison. Posted by: the lone lemon at November 06, 2012 01:00 PM (xXhWA) I voted in favor of Medical Marijuana (having had personal experience with chemo, and I got my weed "black market"). I'm not sure I'd do that again, because we seem to have more medical marijuana dispensaries than we have prescription drug stores. Essentially, they advocate funding school systems with "drug money". The only way that works is if sales increase to the point that being stoned is the norm. They started out funding schools with tobacco tax, and as smoking has decreased, so have school revenues from the source. Posted by: jwb7605 at November 06, 2012 01:06 PM (Qxe/p) 617

Posted by: Jumbo Shrimp at November 06, 2012 12:30 PM (DGIjM) You're talking about Mourdock in Indiana? Not necessarily. My girlfriend told me she voted almost straight Republican ticket--except for Mourdock. His garbled response to the child-conceived-by-rape question pissed her off. I explained to her what I'm convinced Mourdock was driving at, that the child born of rape or incest is as 'legitimately' human as any other and equally worthy of life, but she remains convinced he's as much of an insensitive, tone-deaf dumbass as Akin in Missouri. I tend to think she's representative of many Republican women in Indiana, as well as moderates of either gender. If Mourdock wins a Senate seat, it's because Romney has long coattails, not because he ran a decent campaign. Posted by: troyriser at November 06, 2012 01:08 PM (vtiE6) 628

A commenter at Althouse (Bruce Hayden) makes a good point about the Philadelphia thing:
Here is how I understand it. Republicans have traditionally had little presence in this part of Philadelphia. So, they often haven't sent poll watchers in the past. The Democratic election head there then appoints one of his cronies to sit in the Republican's seat. And, this presumably allows for a lot of hanky panky, limited only by the number of registered voters in the precinct (which is where all those fake registrations that Dem organizations have supplied come in). This year, a lot of Republicans apparently showed up to fill the Republican election watcher slot. This was not appreciated by the local Dem organization that is used to filling those slots, and so balked by ejecting the designated Republican poll watchers. A couple things of note here. First, a lot of those on the left claim that the real issue is disenfranchisement (i.e. undervoting), and not voter fraud (i.e. overvoting). This is just more evidence that voter fraud is probably rampant and traditionally unpoliced in at least the heavily Dem areas of Philadelphia. Secondly, on a good note, the fact that the Republicans are sending election judges and poll watchers to these precincts is likely indicia that they are much better organized this year, and the fact that they were able to get injunctions and the like evidence that they were prepared for this, with attorneys standing by ready to go into court. And, I think that means that there is likely going to be less fraudulent voting by the Dem machine in Philadelphia than usual. Posted by: lael at November 06, 2012 01:12 PM (tUcg9) 650

Well greetings from voting on Long Island land of no gas. (Now there is rumor we maybe running low on heating oil we will eating each other before this done but I digress) I am in Peter King's (R) district. We were in Steve Israel's (D) but through the magic of redistricting I am now represented in congress by a Republican. Someone before me was asking for a provisional ballot because he was displaced by the hurricane. He had a friend bring him to the polling place. My guess he is staying with the friend. By the look of them it was 100% legit and if I had make a guess based on their demographics it is a vote for Romney. Other than that it was totally quiet. However in all previous elections I have never had much of a wait. I do call Obama campaigners on the road into the polling place in 2008. Today Nada. There were a few signs on the way in for Phil Boyle (R) who is running for State Senate. That was it.Glancing at the page you sign in on I was the only one who had voted today. Well in keeping with the Ace of Spades tradition I wrote a lot about nothing really happening.

A bit of analysis, "shooting from the hip" style:
Voting totals in Obama-won counties in Ohio are down 4.1%, while voting totals in McCain-won counties are up by 14.39%, with overall statewide early voting up by 2.44%. Now, I realize that this is a gross generalization and is in no way statistically sound, BUT... If you take the vote totals from 2008 and weight them down 4.1% for Obama and up 14.39% for Romney, you get this: Romney - 3,063,158 Obama - 2,819,502 Which is a 52-48 Romney victory, with an increase of the electorate of 2.81% (which isn't too far off from the 2.44% increase already documented in early voting totals). Again, just spit-balling. But...if this turns out to be near the final voting totals, I want credit, dammit!

My observation at the polls in deep dark blue Md is that I think the gay marriage question on the ballot is ingeniously designed to bring out all the various minority voters (including the muzzies) out to vote against it, thereby bringing in Obama voters that would otherwise have stayed home.

Remember, everyone said it all came down to the turnout models. If turnout is like 2008, Romney's done. Krumm, also said that if turnout is 60% or lower, this is GOOD for Romney. With more turnout, Romney's chances go down. I have said it before, and I will say it again, and I may say it for the next four years: WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA? Who?!?! As far as songs, I think Romney should have spent a boatload of cash, and put his Momentum spot on every single network nationwide. Instead, set the commercial to "Final Game" from Rudy.

But thanks for you concern.
Posted by: Jumbo Shrimp at November 06, 2012 01:23 PM (DGIjM) You can put away the snark. I didn't say I agreed with my girlfriend's assessment. I voted straight-ticket, in fact, which means I also voted for Mourdock. I also agree with my girlfriend to an extent: Mourdock's answer was garbled, poorly worded and ill-prepared. He seems like a nice enough guy and a solid conservative, but has little or no political instincts. Competence would be a nice trait in a US Senator. He doesn't seem to have it. We'll see.

35 - Increased penalties for human trafficking Vote: YES
I'm still waiting for an official AOSHQ Lifestyle ruling on that one. With all the jobs leaving California, I don't see how we can vote for more oppressive regulations on the human trafficking industry. They're already decamping to Nevada.

Iowa elected a GOP governor in 2010 for the first time in 16 years. 12 years (Vilsack was elected in 1998; don't blame me, I lived in Indiana). And they re-elected the last GOP governor.

Prosititution != human trafficking
While there are some prositutes there by choice, most of them are actually slaves who cannot leave and didn't want to start that life. And yes, there is no small amount of slave trade going on in women. They work harder if they're totally isolated in a place without contacts, family, or familiar faces.

___ This is what Philadelphians from the hood don't know: The city fathers have long had a plan to shrink the very low income neighborhoods, due to the fact that those locations always end up with a backlog of tax sale properties. The number of tax sales properties has increased exponentially, and the plan is to just raze the buildings without replacing them. There has been a steady gentrification of poor neighborhoods in the city, there are areas where pioneers are moving in and rehabbing that I would not venture into past 5 pm. This new breedis who the Philadelphia urban planners want as residents. Bottom line: in ten years the demographic make-up of the city will be much less amenable to donks and their ilk. Good on the Philly GOP for taking a stand and moving into the belly of the beast, for in time they will find a less hostile territory. Posted by: kallisto at November 06, 2012 01:30 PM (jm/9g) 783

I know Daniels said he wanted to steer clear of politics in his final months in office, but come on, we're talking about a US Senate seat here.

@430: I voted for legalization. Spend a little time watching the state parole board on tv. It's insane. They want to keep folks in jail for minor offenses. You pay for that! If we legalized pot, we could devote those resources towards combating meth and heroin. We have the Mexican cartels pushing both in this country, with distribution centers already set up. Enough already!
And for those of you fortunate enough to vote in a real polling place today, don't ever let them take away that right. Vote by mail sucks big time and is a lot easier to game. Posted by: Teri Pittman at November 06, 2012 01:41 PM (uPhCY) 872

Clearly, what we can see here is that the white devil and his (wink wink) New York Money Man backer with the big nose and curly sideburns (wink wink) is controlling the system. I have learned from the orbital mother plane that Mitt Romney's name has 19 characters in it, even if some are secret, hidden Mormon numbers. As we all know, 19 is the symbol for the devil, who is, in fact, the white man.

Troy, I believe Daniels' reason was that as a president of a public university, it would be inappropriate to stump for either side of the aisle. You notice he has not really been a Romney guy. Not saying he is against Romney, but he certainly has not been a staunch surrogate.
That is understandable; most university heads are liberal, so I am sure we wouldn't want someone whose public organization, in this case, place of higher learning, receives public funds, on the campaign trail. I almost voted Donnelly. Despite being blue, he seems like a decent family guy. I voted for Lugar in the primaries, because of this specific situation. I thought Lugar would beat Donnelly handily, and Mourdock was a wild card. Off-topic, Mourdock has always struck me as a little bit off, a little weird. I wasn't sure I could pull the lever for the weirdness. In the end, the pro-life in me just couldn't pull the trigger for Donnelly. Posted by: Tickled Pink at November 06, 2012 01:46 PM (knYLP) 891

OMG: I googled pudding shortage on a hunch and found this: "Of the nursing homes we studied, less than a quarter had plans in place specifically to deal with pudding shortages," lead researcher Everett Cosby, chief of the section of pudding epidemiology at Kraft Foods' Chicago research and development laboratory, explained. "That leaves nearly 2.5 million elderly citizens at risk of receiving less than the recommended daily allowance of pudding, and that is unacceptable in a high risk population that is prone to pudding deficiency related health concerns."According to Cosby, the effect of a pudding shortage on this population should not be taken lightly. "If nursing homes are to be called upon to serve as a source of care, and pudding, for vulnerable citizens with nowhere else to turn, the impact of a widespread pudding supply breakdown could be catastrophic." Kraft Foods Inc. is calling for congress to enact legislation that will ensure that nursing home residents receive a steady supply of pudding in the event of any necessary pudding rationing.

Just got done voting. Was pretty much in and out. Usually I vote later in the day so don't have a good indication about how the turnout would be. Of course, almost all the downticket races were uncontested. And the uncontested candidates were all R's. So just had Pres. Senate and state and local issues.
Posted by: buzzion at November 06, 2012 01:51 PM (GULKT) 899
Working as an election judge in Chicago, pretty low turnout so far. Definitely more SCOAMF votes than Romney being cast here (based on random glimpses I've caught as people submit their ballots). Guess that shouldn't surprise anyone.
But what is surprising: lots of local Dem candidate signs outside, but not a single Obama sign. Not just here but at the two other polling places in this area. Posted by: Swanny at November 06, 2012 01:51 PM (+kLUq) 900

In the end, the pro-life in me just couldn't pull the trigger for Donnelly.
Posted by: Tickled Pink at November 06, 2012 01:46 PM (knYLP) Similar feelings for similar reasons when I voted for Mourdock. A liberal friend of mine knows Donnelly personally, says he's likeable but moderate (not a compliment from a liberal), an old-time Blue Dog. Thing is, Blue Dogs always vote party line on major issues, even if it kills them. And that's another thing: the Democrats seem to be more loyal to their own party than Republican politicians and voters seem to be. The Dems seem more cohesive while we're stuck with the RINOs on one end and the Libertarians on the other, both ready to split the ticket or jump the aisle at the slightest provocation. The GOP is a big tent, sure, but if you come in the tent then stay in the tent and quit threatening to storm out every time you don't get your way.

Isn't it weird that I've waited 4 years for this? When did anybody figure out that Obama was worse than imagined? In 2007, before the internet was scrubbed, and I did the research. I knew all about his commie family, frank marshall davis, Stanley and wife Dunham, and the litte red church in WA, and the choom-boy going to Pakistan when Americans weren't allowed INTO Pok ee ston. I knew about his madrassas attendance, the divorce my abandoning mother Stanley from 2nd muslim husband, Lolo Soetoro because he went to work for an evil capitalist Union Oil Co. in Indonesia, and I knew how every election he won, he won by sleezy legal revelations days before the election, I knew about Tony Rezko, Valerie Jarret and Rev. Wright. I read Obama Sr.'s thesis stating that 100% tax on people in Kenya was feasible and worthy. I knew about Odingo, George Obsama, the brother who works in finance in China, ad nauseum. It was all there. Until it was scrubbed. You had to want to know. Not to mention, his books, ghost-written by Billy Ayers, (whose home obsama launched his political career in) and the Weather Underground, Rhashid Khalidi, and the old dude who gave an interview saying BO gained entrance to Harvard by a letter from him, an islamist commie, and his connections to Bin Alwaleed. Just regurgitating it makes me sick. Sicker than I have been since the Arab "Spring", and worst, Benghazi. The next 70 days are going to be HORRIFIC, and everyone better be ready with screen shots and Congressional contact numbers. Along with the other fed alphabet units. But, today, Is OUR day. Cheers!

You know, regarding Christie, I think he was in shock and Obama took advantage of it.
Every time there is a natural disaster there are people who pick through wreckage, gather what things are salvageable, thank the Lord that no one in their family was killed, and say they will rebuild, Then there are the people you see staring off into space, in shock, maybe weeping, and if they can talk, they simply say, "I don't know what I am going to do." No one knows how he/she will react until something like that happens. Christie, sadly, is of the latter type. I hold him no animus, but he killed his chances for national office. You cannot have a vice president or president who collapses when bad things happen. And I think he did. Posted by: Miss Marple at November 06, 2012 02:37 PM (GoIUi) 923

Never saw so many people at my polling place, very red precinct in a very red state (Alabama). This shows that people want to vote as an expression of their desire to oust Obama, even in a deep red state that will go big for Romney/Ryan. If this holds in key Senate races in other Romney states (Missouri, Indiana, Florida, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska), as well as swing states (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada), then Harry Reid will be ousted. That will be sweet indeed.

I agree with the person who said C Christie was operating in some kind of state of shock. Probably still is. He's an asthmatic, has been hospitalized for it. Wouldn't surprise me to see him be admitted again. Needs to lose weight. Hired a personal trainer when he becmae the guv, for his kids' sake, but looks like he's a heavy as ever. When you are addicted to anything, food included, you seek it when you're happy, when you're sad, when you're anxious, when you're relaxed. In other words, to soothe and to reward.

He seems to be a very nice man, people say he's kind and generous and that does come through, but wow, can't he just take questions instead of blabbing?
