I live in a rural area in lower Michigan.
There were lines this afternoon but they weren't too bad. Some issues with jamming machines but I think it was just because so many people were voting.
The clerks reported turn out was heavy all day. Polls close in 2 hours 20 minutes here. |

Please make Michigan look good!
Get out and vote today so they hear our voice.
We may be down but we are not out and we need to speak up and show up at the voting booths. |

I think saggy pants look silly mostly but I am confused.
Why do some people think butt cleavage is bad by breast cleavage is good? |

| Topic: Obama's Event |
Tue 11/04/08 11:00 AM |
Win or lose. Here's a nice piece about Obama's final campaign event.
By Ezra Klein.
Manassas, Virginia is in the "real" America. Driving into town, you pass a gun shop, a tractor sale, a McCain/Palin sign, and a tire yard -- all on the same block. The restaurants advertise "Good American Food" and the nice new development is anchored by an Applebees. This was the site of the Battle of Bull Run and, for that matter, Lorena Bobbitt's crime and trial. And yet, it was in Manassas that Barack Obama held his final rally, turning out a crowd estimated, incredibly, at 90,000.
Even so, it was a subdued affair. Earlier that day, Madelyn Dunham, Obama's grandmother, had passed away. Obama eulogized her in North Carolina, but he hardly mentioned his loss in Virginia. The pain was his, not ours. But it settled heavily on the evening. Obama's speech had its traditional lilting cadence, but not its customary oratorical force. He didn't seem tired so much as, on some level, done. Like this was the hundredth time he'd given the speech today, and he didn't have it in him to make it seem like the first. So he did his job. He said what needed to be said. He launched his attacks and unleashed his applause lines and ran through his policies. He told the story of being tired in South Carolina, of wanting to stop, only to have a little lady in a tiny town revive him with her shouts of "Fired up?" "Ready to go!" The message was unmistakable. But the hot coil of emotion that might have elevated his final speech into one of the campaign's Moments was absent. It was just a speech.
That, however, was all that was required. The time for speeches is over. For two years, this election has been about the candidates. What they said and what they thought. What they did and how they looked. But the process has now barreled beyond them. It is now about the voters. What they have heard and what they have concluded. Whether they have formed a preference and whether they care enough to vote. Tonight's rally was not about the spent figure who stood on the stage, but the 90,000 who had left the quiet warmth of their homes to hear him speak. Obama might have been subdued, but their very presence was evidence of their excitement. And at this point, it is their excitement, not his, that matters. |

Thought I would post this to lighten the mood.
Barack Obama did an interview with yesterday with Sway, MTV's official friendly ambassador from the land of hip hop. A viewer asked him about towns that try to pass laws banning baggy pants. First Obama said those laws are a "waste of time." But then he added, "brothers should pull up your pants!" Is Barack Obama a fashion icon, or your grumpy old dad—or is he both?!?!
Obama said such laws were "a waste of time," but didn't hold back on his own view on the fad.
"Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants," he declared. "You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on."
"Some people might not want to see your underwear - I'm one of them," he added.

humm putting the sticker on your penis eh?
Seems like the umm state of Mister Peeper might be a factor in stickability. (Not a word but i like it here)
You might want to consider where you go around displaying that though.
I think we all support you doing your duty as a citizen but sharing that pole at the polls might lead to misunderstandings and imprisonment. |

Okay, I choked on my beer laughing when I read giocamo's last post.
You drop the soap a lot giocamo?
la la la
You know, I do have to say Sarah is one of the most doable of any presidential or vice presidential candidates we've had in some time.
I would have done Clinton too but that doesn't surprised anyone I am sure.
Might have done Ronnie when he was a younger guy too.
JFK yeah....doable.
By and large the candidates have not been real attractive through my lifetime.

haha I love this!
This clip actually missed the best line of the night, in which Coulter is screeching about Obama's associations and the "fact" that he sits down with "these people," and Colmes retorts, "Well, I'm sitting here with you."
Occurs at approx 4:45 of this clip.....

Yes, there already has been increased voter turnout in states that allow early voting.

From the AP
Onslaught of dirty tricks as election day nears
In the final hours of the campaign, bogus fliers, e-mails and calls increase
In the hours before Election Day, as inevitable as winter, comes an onslaught of dirty tricks — confusing e-mails, disturbing phone calls and insinuating fliers left on doorsteps during the night.
The intent, almost always, is to keep folks from voting or to confuse them, usually through intimidation or misinformation. But in this presidential race, in which a black man leads most polls, some of the deceit has a decidedly racist bent.
Complaints have surfaced in predominantly African-American neighborhoods of Philadelphia where fliers have circulated, warning voters they could be arrested at the polls if they had unpaid parking tickets or if they had criminal convictions.
Over the weekend in Virginia, bogus fliers with an authentic-looking commonwealth seal said fears of high voter turnout had prompted election officials to hold two elections — one on Tuesday for Republicans and another on Wednesday for Democrats.
In New Mexico, two Hispanic women filed a lawsuit last week claiming they were harassed by a private investigator working for a Republican lawyer who came to their homes and threatened to call immigration authorities, even though they are U.S. citizens.
"He was questioning her status, saying that he needed to see her papers and documents to show that she was a U.S. citizen and was a legitimate voter," said Guadalupe Bojorquez, speaking on behalf of her mother, Dora Escobedo, a 67-year-old Albuquerque resident who speaks only Spanish. "He totally, totally scared the heck out of her."
In Pennsylvania, e-mails appeared linking Democrat Barack Obama to the Holocaust. "Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, Nov. 4," said the electronic message, paid for by an entity calling itself the Republican Federal Committee. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake."
Voter suppression efforts
Laughlin McDonald, who leads the ACLU's Voting Rights Project, said he has never seen "an election where there was more interest and more voter turnout, and more efforts to suppress registration and turnout. And that has a real impact on minorities."
The Obama campaign and civil rights advocacy groups have signed up millions of new voters for this presidential race. In Ohio alone, some 600,000 have submitted new voter registration cards.
Across the country, many of these first-time voters are young and strong Obama supporters. Many are also black and Hispanic. |

Oh?
Like the rally just days ago when the McCain folks shipped in people from a school to make it look like they had large numbers of supporters?
