So since a lot of you are Dems if I say I'm out driving people to polls, you'll beat me with sticks, right?

No, its nice to have a reasonable republican in here. At least, you don't seem to say anything too vitriolic.

Depends on the state I suppose.

Just kidding. Do whatever you can to get the vote out. I want as much democracy as possible, not just democracy at the expense of those I disagree with.

God bless Jon Stewart + Stephen Colbert going live at the 11th hour tomorrow night.

After ripping out my hair at the CNN horse race bullshit, I'm tuning into Comedy and hope it gets decided then

I feel the same way. I just hope everyone who feels strongly and is well informed - votes. I -can- be wrong, I can be misled, and I trust what the people want just a little more over what I want.

Also it's OK so there's really no need for me to do this but hey.

 

[Aylinato]

Drive people to polls is always a big one.

Yes, but I am slightly more involved, I probably will be sending people to drive people. More than likely.


Not saying I'm above driving people, I'm a Neighborhood Team Leader

FINAL PREDICTION



....same as two weeks ago.

Obama wins with 2008 map excluding indiana (which, by the way, why did they have such a huge swing?)

Dems gain 1-3 senate seats

Dems take the house by 2.

Never gonna happen. Have you seen whats happened on a national level with redistricting? Repubs fortified week seats into stronger ones and Gov. Cuomo pretty much muted what the Dems would have gained from California by ignoring a proposed plan to gain seats in New York.

In a landslide election, not even redistricting can stop the wave.

2010 California election was a preview.

That magical period of time on Election Night where Ohio has been called for Obama, but the West Coast states aren't called yet, and the anchors are pretending that Romney can still seek other, more-arduous-but-possible paths to victory. Watching them squirm and hypothesize is going to be so much fun!

Conservatives all over the world unit in supression

 

[Aaron Strife]

The funny thing is Boehner, McConnell et al, the leaders of the Republicans will make some half-assed statements about unity and compromise and working together if Obama wins, but the tea party caucus will still be out in full force.

Similar to Christine O'Donnell's "concession" speech in 2010.

 

[NullPointer]

If we lose this election there is only one explanation — demographics. ... If I hear anybody say it was because Romney wasn’t conservative enough I’m going to go nuts. We’re not losing 95 percent of African-Americans and two-thirds of Hispanics and voters under 30 because we’re not being hard-ass enough.

"If Mitt Romney can turn New Mexico..." utters Chuck Todd as his spiral into the toilet flush continues sporadically

A few weeks ago I watched a clip of Chuck online, doing his Surface thing with battleground states. He tosses most to Obama, a few to Romney, along the lines polls were leaning, leaving Ohio and a few others in the center.

He moved just enough to keep Obama under 270. Then, he moves Ohio to Romney, to show how it's not quite enough to get him the election.

I closed the browser at that point. Romney has led exactly zero times in the poll aggregates this year. Willfully misinforming viewers.

He is in the entertainment business, nothing more.

Will be sure to remind them of their civic duty tomorrow.

lol, only like 3 of them will actually vote

YES. That's the part that's going to be fun. Talk about Iowa, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico.. it's going to be hysterical. I'll most likely turn to Fox once Ohio is called so that I can watch the various facial expressions as they contort among themselves, hoping against hope.. hehe!

Yup.

Lindsey (*snap*snap*) definitely gets it. I wonder if anyone else in his party will pay attention.

If there's one thing I love about this election cycle 08, it's that we've seen/heard a lot less of Lindsey F'n Graham.

Well, you see, they are simply defending themselves against the tyranny of the majority. All of us plebes are trying to get together and "exercise our voting rights," which means we will elect monsters who take away the conservatives' God-given money and unchecked power.

It's analogous to defending your home from thieves.

She's dope, I remember when the news was picking up on her. She's great.

 

[HylianTom]

I'm too busy over at FreeRepublic reading about how Romney is going to flip Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Nevada. They don't mention Christie or Sandy that much any more, but they're absolutely convinced that Romney's "got this." And they cite Dick Morris and Hannity as their main sources of confidence. They're really, really giddy.

edit: and they're on the lookout for trolls. Especially trolls with new registration dates. Hahaha!

McConnell can't seriously expect to be re-elected after the" making Obama a one term president is our long term goal" quote. He held American livelihoods hostage and still(probably) failed at his goal.

I cant remember the last time I was wrong about anything this election cycle. So it would be shocking in this case.

Just got back from more canvassing in Florida.

Don't count this state out. There are hopeful signs down here.

I'm going to watch the election unfold at a big celebration by the waterfront. Expecting good times.

Why hasn't the 538 forecast converged with the now-cast yet? When exactly is that going to happen? It's still an almost two point disparity. That's huge.

Ah, once the polls start to close it becomes a race to call the states (and the election). While this has been seriously dampened since the clusterfuck of 2000, and they can't officially project the winner until all polls are closed, the networks are no longer in "dead heat" mode as the results come in. If/when Ohio goes to Obama they'll be wink-wink nudge-nudging that "we can't project a winner as of yet but there are very few viable paths for Mitt Romney right now" etc. etc.

kos is predicting Senate wins in MA, ME, MO, IN, FL, OH, VA, MT, WI, CT, NV

Losses in AZ, ND, NE

Final tally 55-45 Dem.

Really doesn't seem far-fetched to me, though many races will be quite close. MO, IN, NV represent the likely downside, with ND the most realistic upside.

E-V has MT, WI and ND as ties and Berkley down in NV, but I am keeping my fingers crossed there given Reid-Angle. Sam Wang saying 53-55. Nate is pretty conservative at 52.5.

I'll be happy with any number >=53, honestly. That's a repeat of 2006, which was such an awesome year.

Giving up on the house. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a surprise stealth wave but we'll know pretty early whether or not there's any chance I imagine.

Blitzer was totally trying to troll Beau Biden and Biden was having none of it.

Paraphrasing:

Blitzer: how come in the new Obama ad that came out it doesn't mention Obamacare? Isn't he proud of it?
Biden: Biltzer pls. He was just on CNN last night talking about it. There are only so many seconds to fit in all those accomplishments.

Biltzer: how come Democrats can't reach across the aisle?
Biden: Biltzer pls. My dad worked with Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. Democrats are not the problem.

i'm slightly more bullish than kos on ND (and slightly more bearish on NV) but that's literally the only difference
