I am beginning to become scared that Romney/Ryan will win. Can smart people please post here and say reassuring things to convince me that he won't?

is there any reason to suspect early vote would be non-representative or skewed democrat in iowa?

seems to be the case but i wonder why

In Colorado, Florida, Iowa and North Carolina, Obama banked so many early votes in 2008 that he won those states even though he ran behind in each in votes cast on Election Day itself, according to voting data compiled by the Associated Press.

democrats just trying harder to get people to vote early prob

dems pushed early voting harder + just a bigger gotv machine + obv more enthusiasm last time xp

there's an inherent interest in it for dems because their base is less likely to vote regardless

k cool

also if youve voted then that eliminates the chance you wont vote

Even if you get hit by a bus before Election Day. That's why I like early voting -- the potential to influence earthly events from beyond the grave.

surprised zombie voting parties haven't caught on already

So Romney will probably take Florida, huh?

Probably. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Hillsborough just ain't enough.

there's a 64.7% chance, I'd say

god i'm just getting panicked

need a hug?

this minnesota detour headfake is pretty weird

i'm chalking it up to the eastern seaboard & rust belt being air-traffic-jammed, tbh

heinous traffic outside the music shop where i take guitar lessons last night. apparently paul ryan was doing a thing in the republican-owned (?) bar across the street. heavy SUVs and secret service everywhere.

what bar is that so i can avoid it in the future

o'gara's!

they also hosted a big yes-on-voter-id blowout a month ago

oh yeah haha well it wont be hard to avoid that place since i fucking hate it anyway.

taking a stand!

LOL, never been in there. Never will be.

o'garas - all the charm of an applebees with food to match

now bigot friendly!

YES

oh god ok fuck o'garas

hated that place anyway

is martin zeller still a thing?

i think so? hes actually a decent dude, so i cant really blame him for cash grabbing for years there, even if it does have the cool factor of having a residency at a low-rent bubba gump shrimp factory

yeah i figured he was ok and all. i actually still love the first gear daddies album.

My brother was one-third of a Rush tribute band at this establishment.

2112: A Tribute to Rush?

also i still need a reassuring hug

aw thx

OK, google tells me he played keyboards with Exit Stage Right.

haha i've been hunting thru political donation tracker sites to get something definitive on the o'gara's ownerhsip but coming up blank. i don't want to besmirch the place out of hand, but, it is kind of a terrible bar and the evidence so far isn't good, imo.

Wait, I think I have it mixed up in my head with Alary's.

Either way, not somewhere I'm likely headed.

Daily Kos piece pointing out that it's been almost three weeks since Romney gave an interview and more than a month since he answered a single question from the reporters that travel with him. He can't, obviously. He can't answer questions about his auto industry claims and now he can't answer about FEMA either.

ha alarys is a different but also awful shithole.

2-party shitstem politricks

i'm not american and i am starting to be quite nervous about this.

You have my personal promise that Romney will not win.

recent polls out today aren't looking too good for obama

lol whatever

but that's from twelve whole hours ago so you never know

in the last 12 hours three undecideds in Idaho moved into the Romney camp.

haha you guys aren't any fun

I got some applesauce for ya, baby.

it's been almost three weeks since Romney gave an interview and more than a month since he answered a single question from the reporters that travel with him. He can't, obviously. He can't answer questions about his auto industry claims and now he can't answer about FEMA either.

is this getting traction in the MSM/ cable news? seems like a p big deal to me if Romney won't answer questions from the reporters traveling with him

Staging donations?

Empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, “What if we dropped off our donations up front?”

The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. “Just grab something,” he said.

Two teenage boys retrieved a jar of peanut butter each, and got in line. When it was their turn, they handed their “donations” to Romney. He took them, smiled, and offered an earnest “Thank you.”

keeping it classy
