Come on Al Franken! On top of Obama and a Congressional rout, a Franken win might just be enough to get O'Reilly to put a gun in his mouth.

Ha ha, that's insane. That stretch of Sheridan before you can get to the lily white safety of Lake Shore Drive is pretty scary. I see black people on that street all the time!!!!

Dude you should come to Newark. The place is brimming with Obama Supporters, and there are some areas where Vote Fraud is just a way of life.

I like it. Whenever someone claims only GOP'ers are filthy, I can point to this idiot running around and remind them that EVERY politician is filthy, they just haven't been caught yet.

Cry me a fucking river.

I give a fuck about it, but it's the reasoning that the officer gave for issuing a warning. He though it would make it look like intimidation or something.

Why does MSNBC use Andrea Mitchell? She always looks lost when she's hosting. This lady shouldn't be hosting anything.

Ever since she was attacked by those Republican balloons, she's never been the same.

THOSE DAMN BALLOONS.

I suppose it's worth pointing out that since my parents, aunt, grandmother, and at least three of my other relatives definitely voted Obama, +6 Obama in Pennsylvania and +1 in Maryland (I voted absentee a while ago so I'm not including myself in that tally). Also probably +1 in NY.

I loved that moment. She was looked literally lost in the balloons, completely unsure of what to do, and appeared to be in moderate danger or something.

My parents, who were aliens (non citizens) for most of their lives, both voted for Franken as will my brother & sister.

There was Franken rally last week where Bill Clinton made an appearance and my nephew (who's xbox 360 I bought so I could play against him :D ) got a handshake & pat on the back from President Clinton. He's totally stoked . . . and his dad (my brother) was born on the same day as Obama.

+2 for Obama in CA with my & my ex (as well as 2 no votes for Prop 8). Prop 8 will lose hard where I live but it is the central valley that will vote heavily for it.

Polling locations around NYC are still fucking ridiculous.

It is so...amazing to see seemingly everyone interested and/or politically motivated, at least for one day.

My polling location was in Beachwood. I was the 9th person in line, and got there about 20min before it opened.

He was indicted on 16 counts. Facing a democrat run off today against a TV anchor I think.

Here's a story:

My uncle is a diehard Republican, going so far as to send me text messages once or twice a day praising Palin's greatness or bashing minorities. We made a large bet over who would win the election and yesterday morning he conceded that Obama would win and, in a crazy moment of clarity, voted for Obama this morning. :)

Bandwagoning effect is real.

I love stories like this. Reverse Bradley Effect is real!!!

Doesn't fit the archetype of (insert first name here) the (insert job here). Joe the Alcoholic could work, but such a character wouldn't play as well as an unofficial surrogate.

Registering to vote late is very bad. There is nothing he can do.

I heard something very similar. It was a group of African American women however so the context may have been different.

Call the county board of elections, if possible, and inquire about the registration.
