You friggin' beat me to it. So many 50s and 51s over the last few days! The margin might tighten from Romney's number rising up a bit out of the low or mid-40s, but Obama is right where he needs to be.. anything over 49 is fantastic.

Well, just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about Gaborn 
A little too close to home
A little too close to home
oh yeah. I forgot to say the report of the ground game accelerating was from ohio. The reporter was basically like "I've never seen so many voters. And all of them seem to be Democrats!"
I can imagine it, but Id imagine youd find that girl dead on a lone highway, drained of all her blood
bwhahaha
Loving all these 47% numbers. Him losing Ohio at 47% would be so funny.

Holy shit this had me fucking rolling
then that's great. i figured there'd be no other reason for him to be saluting like that.
Hilarious responses.
Oh man, those two are going to be SO salty. I might just follow them to see their responses.

Apparently. He's spoke of ongoing health issues once here.
Washington Journal is must-see TV. The callers who call from the Republican and Independent lines are incredible.
Thankfully, there are archives of the episodes!
For example, I'll provide a link to the morning after SCOTUS upheld Obamacare. It's delicious stuff, and will be delectable on November 7th.

But is everyone going to be able to deal with 6+ hour lines on a Tuesday? These people have kids and families to go back to - not waiting in a line until midnight.
I'm not that optimistic anymore.

Nah, probably the usual backpedal, redirect attention, apportion blame to "liberal media" or other outside forces. Rinse and repeat as needed.
The shadow of Marine One loomed over a tiny island in the Hawaiian archipelago. Inside, a stern old woman leaned over to speak to the pilot.
"Put us down right there."
"Are you sure, Madam President? It barely looks--"
"I'm sure."
As the Presidential helicopter touched down on the sand, a dark figure on the beach pulled his fishing hat lower over his eyes and shut his tackle box. The woman climbed out of the chopper with a cane in hand.
"You're a hard man to reach," she called.
"Not for nothing, Hillary. I've been enjoying retirement."
Hillary Clinton strode up to the man. Most people cowered in her presence, but he was as unflappable as ever as he leaned back in his beach chair and took a swig from a purple bottle.
"The Republicans have been looking as well, you know. After you announced you were returning to your birthplace they scoured pretty much every inch of Kenya. Searching for your birth certificate is still a big tourist attraction there."
Barack Obama laughed. "And the Kenyans complain that I never did enough for them."
Hillary leaned on her cane and gazed around the beach with a severe expression.
"I had a chat with the guys at NOAA. Did you know that climate change might put this rock underwater soon?"
"Sound serious. You should talk to Al Gore about that."
Hillary said nothing, but her expression grew ever more sour as she stared down at her predecessor. Finally, Obama sighed and looked up at her.
"Why are you here, Hillary?"
"I know you don't exactly count the days Barack, but it's 2020." She put a hand on her hip. "I need you back on the campaign trail."
"I thought we called it even a long time ago."
"We did. And now I'm asking for a favor."
"You know how much I hate the Washington circus, Hillary. I served my eight years. Won my battles. I came here to get away from it all. You should take some time off too." Obama tossed her a bottle from a cooler at his side. "Here, have some purple drank."
Hillary looked down at the bottle. The crude label read "Legitimate Grape." She frowned.
"You know, before he passed away Bill told me that I should believe in you," Hillary said. "He said you would be a shining light for our party for decades to come. Doesn't any of that matter to you anymore?"
Obama looked away. "You don't need me to win."
"You're the single most popular figure in American politics and yet you sit here squirreled away on an island like you're Mitt Romney's money." Hillary crossed her arms. "What a waste. Is it any wonder that Michelle left you?"
Hillary regretted the jibe the second it left her lips. Obama was clearly stung, the reminder of his loveless marriage further pushing the introverted President back into his guarded self.
"I’m sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Just like you didn't mean it when you said that I couldn't take a 3:00am phone call?"
"I was wrong to--"
"But you were being honest."
There was an awkward silence. Hillary placed a hand on Obama's shoulder. He looked up. She smiled.
"You were a very adequate President, Barack."
"Hillary…"
"Put us down right there."
"Are you sure, Madam President? It barely looks--"
"I'm sure."

What kind? Government debt is different (and WAY less important) than private debt.
I swear, it has become the party of conspiracy theories.
Wow, that's sad.

"We are a quilt of multiculturalism that no longer allows our democracy to function the way it was originally intended to."
My god. I think I'm going to make it a point to watch this in its entirety tomorrow.
I love it. They're having a lot of fun with this.
genius
edit: Goddamn. I'll feel the good stuff flow again for a minute or two and then think back to Gaborn. I guess I should update my avatar... we're dropping like flies :'(
It's fun. Bookmark and enjoy!
I'm thinking that I need to create a bookmark list for my favorite Republican tears, and this one is essential.
Good. Excellent. 2016 - along with Scalia and Thomas' replacements - shall be ours. Muahahahaha!
I wonder if Romney is going to do Viagra commercials when he's done with all of this?

Forever, I like that bit of writing. The image of Hillary walking with a cane, the callbacks. Nice stuff. I've gotta look-up some purple drank for Tuesday night. Slow my roll a bit.

Just light the Empty Vessel bat signal. All will be well...
...for Obama?
using 2008 again for ppp's poll (ohio)
ev:
obama: 1,161,440
romney: 742,560
election day:
obama: 1,774,080 | 2,935,520 | 52.42%
romney: 1,884,960 | 2,627,520 | 46.92%
if obama won by over 300k, that would be larger than 2008. a 5.5 win would be bigger than his 2008 4.6 win in ohio, too.

Yeah, there is no way they are going to say "You know, we need to change some policies." Instead they'll see a pretty close election and say "We were not conservative enough . . . and Sandy affected the election . . . and dead people voted . . . and ACORN . . . and illegals voted . . . and those black panthers scared people away . . and . . and . . . and . . .

I am really sad about Gaborn, and I didn't agree with him on nearly anything. Too young. And it's so sad that he'll never get to see marriage equality.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
If PPP were rigging the polls I don't think they would address that fact directly. Besides, the Obama-leads they're reporting are mostly small outliers on the same side everyone else has. It's not like Ras, Pulse or Susque reporting Romney winning big when no one else has Romney even close. However, they aren't helping the perception of being Liberal Rasmussen when they outright spar with upset Republicans.

Anyone have that pic of Romney looking kind of pouty? I'm gonna need the shit out of it.
