Reach Out And Touch Someone
— LauraW

In Connecticut you can still register to vote.

This morning I influenced two more people into voting this election, and why.

Make your emails and calls, people. Making a difference is as simple as calling an ordinarily apolitical friend or family member who is out of work, and asking them if they are registered.

The line that worked for me in that situation:

"We have to stop this commie job-killing shit in its tracks."

I know, I know. But it works.

And then I email them a link to their local Registrar of Voters or get them the phone number.
This isn't rocket surgery.

UPDATE [DiT]: good point from commenter laceyunderalls, last minute registrants in CT (and elsewhere), if your name doesn't appear on the roll, ask for a Provisional Ballot. You can usually find instructions on your Sec State's website.

2 speaking of rocket surgery, how'd that money bomb go for our girl in New Mexico ? She's like a rocket Dr. or something right ?

3 Amen. We need to get everyone we can to the ballot box. Every, single vote will matter this year.

4 yeah reach out and touch someone..... but in a nice way. Don't stomp a bitch like what happened with the Rand Paul people outside of the Paul-Conway debate. And if you DO just make sure that no one gets any video of it.

5 What a coincidence that a MoveOn.org activist who was there to disrupt the debate happened to be singled out of the crowd for a beat down by unidentified "thugs" and someone happened to be there to film it. 

It's almost as if it was planned or something.

btw - There's a lie going around that the dems have pulled some of their ads. 
Not Betsy Markey (D-CO)  She and the Dems are running all sorts of ads right and left - all of them filled with lies about Cory Gardner.

I saw the video this morning, amazing quality and well lit too. Usually bystander video is shaky, blurry, and the bystander can't get near the action.  Hmmm.....

The interwebs are full of funny this morning:

Co-host Joy Behar predictably stepped in to defend NPR and used an odd way to explain their value, claiming that NPR’s been ‘vetted by objective ‘Media Matters’ people.” Calling Media Matters “objective” is an interesting choice of words, since they define themselves as a “progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”

Don't know if anyone did this, so I did.

So I guess 69 is the official AoS guess. There's a surprise.

24 Webster over Grayson (from HA headlines):
The key difference in the poll when compared to last time is that Webster is surging with independents, now leading them by a 48-33 margin over Grayson, which is a reversal from a 42-33 Grayson lead in the last poll (a net swing of 24 points)

27 24 They floated the opposite long enough to push the idea that ODonnell was hurting Toomey because they shared air space in the east. It was always bullshit and when I heard "conservatives" talking about that this weekend, I tried to reach through the screen and shake the hell out of them but was prevented by the laws of physics. I would like to end Medicare, SS, and all the other entitlements and just buy everyone a clue.

28 I didn't realize you could still register in most states.

Wisconsin will let you register on Election Day.  It's a convenient source of fraud--vote at your school address, vote at your parents' address, no one will check the county databases against each other until after both votes have been counted.

The Guy What Sleeps on my Couch refuses to register and vote*, and even if he did he wouldn't vote for Ron Johnson because he heard somewhere Johnson's really a--I quote--"Communist sympathizer." Which was so stupid and anachronistic I still have no response (reference to his understanding why so much manufacturing has moved to China?). WTF.

"If you can, volunteer to drive people to the polls on election day." 

I was gonna offer to drive my old lady neighbor, but then I remembered she's the one who keeps putting mothballs in our garden. If this were Medieval Pennsylvania, that would be a crime punishable by torture wheel. Plus, there's that rumor I made up 3 years ago about her having spiders in her vagina.

At least I can say I thought about helping.

A FORMER driver of mine called me up here in Cali. She wanted to know which prop was the anti-global warming law bill so she could vote for it and suspend the law (the diesel part of it has been just KILLING independent intermodal companies here, we have lost 10 drivers thanks to its restrictions).

Not only did I help her out with Prop 23, I informed her that only ONE person in any of the races sided with the truckers and business against the law because she knows it kills jobs- Carly Fiorina.

Both her and her husband are straight ticket Democrats but are so burned by the Diesel law they will vote for anyone who vocally supported its suspension.

Prop 23 would pass if only the supporters spent the fucking money to show what AB32 has already destroyed. Fiorina should keep pushing down here- lots of people in transportation and logistics hurt by it that are willing to break ranks and vote for somoene who has their back.

but anyway thats Carly +4 votes since last week just talking with people undecided. Whitman is looking hopeless, but Fiorina still has quite a bit of gas left.

The old lady across the street fell in London and broke her arm. She was so terribly impressed by their taking care of her without even asking her name that she's all for govt provided health care. I asked her if she thought it was ok that the british citizens 1. waited months for appts for diseases and 2. paid for her arm when she was insured here. and 3 should I have to pay for some foreigner to get fixed here if he fell down?

She thinks it's awesome. Brain. Dead.

45 I don't know of anyone who's not planning to vote.  Then, there's this idiot on the left who wrote this brilliant piece in the Savannah fish wrap:

Tea Party stuck in 1800s

The Republican Tea Partiers talk about the world they want to leave to their grandchildren.  Their political candidates with crocodile tears state publically that they want to rid us of our safety nets such as the minimum wage, unemployment compensation, Social Security, Medicare, union jobs, erode public schools even further, and neglect our infrastructure, while saying no to new technology such as fast trains across our land.


(She then goes on to praise China.)

The only thing I see that the Tea Party likes is endless war and for the top 2 percent of our population to get all the tax and business tax breaks possible.  My question is, if the Tea Party gets their wishes for their 19th century utopia, what exactly will be left of the American Dream to leave to the next generation?

You misread.  Webster is over Grayson.  The part I quoted was just about the Independents breaking to Webster and the shift relative to the previous poll.

52 43 "I'm stunned about Blumenthal and Gov Moonbeam. Unreal. Those seem the most obvious." See LauraW's post above. The press has been absolutely up Blumenthal's ass. For example, there were 3 articles in 3 days in my local rag about Chris Benoit's father coming to CT to blame WWE and McMahon personally for his son's murder suicide. No issues, no policies, just WWE and steroids. The fact is people here don't like Blumenthal so the strategy has been to paint McMahon as worse.

57 I have been "reaching out" by just being open to listening.  People know they can talk to me about politics and I'm not a dem or rep so I'm not judgmental.  But, I reported several conversations I've had with people who see themselves as republican/conservative and they are very down about this election.  It's so tough when you have to keep those guys, who your thought would be ok, together.

I stand sit corrected.

Although, The Idiot Grayson had a lead initially over Webster, that's evaporated as his attack ads have been exposed. Throw in a couple of Webster ads reminding folks of some of the dumb shit Grayson has said and you have the formula for a blowout.

It's gotten so bad that the local liberal rag here even endorsed Webster and Rubio. Now that is pudding-worthy.

I kind of gave up on "our side" doing anything about fraud when they failed to pursue the Obama campaign's clear violations of Sarbanes-Oxley and campaign finance rules. 

Anyway, I think too many stories about voter fraud suppress the vote, even for our side.  People need to trust that their vote matters. 

If there's a way to address it legally, let the GOP organizations do that.  But the rest of us should just focus on voting and convincing others to vote GOP.

61 There are two headlines on drudge regarding voter fraud.  I just realized, in NY when you hand them your vote to run through the new voting machines it doesn't show how your vote is recorded.  It just scans the paper (the guy was showing me how it doesn't matter how you insert it, it reads it all ways) and say "Thank you for your vote".   So I have no idea how my vote was recorded.  I almost think they should allow you to see that part or at least generate a printout that shows how you voted or something.  I was surprised by some of the outcomes, maybe there was cheating.

64 I'm sure someone already said this, but it's good to remind people that they need to vote even if they're not sure if they're registered at all or at the right location. In most jurisdictions they will count only provisionally until the BOE can accurately match-up the address with the vote.

Travel medical insurance. If I fall off the Alps, I'm on the next flight home.

My friend in Germany totally crushed his wrist a couple of years ago, and was quite pleased with the surgeries (and the three months off work at full pay) and his mother's hip replacement.  But they all have private insurance--the free gubbament care there is a hammock, not a requirement like Canada has.

Residency is often hard to pin down.  Pretty much if she doesn't vote in two different places and has some claim to recent residency in Savannah, she should be able to vote there.  Especially if it was a few weeks ago that she moved.  If pressed, she would be able to claim she intended to move back (no matter how impossible that really is).

Drudge just reset with Harry Reid front and center with a voting fraud story.  We live not in a democracy as much as a polygarch in uncle sam's clothing.

-These bastards stole the Senate election in Minnesota by producing after the fact ballots, "found"in a trunk and after registering thousands upon thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms that included illegal aliens, felons and made up names.

-These bastards mocked America through Obama's win, a win that included SEIU and Acorn registering millions of fraudulent voters.

-These bastards through team obama have failed to prosecute voter fraud and intimidation, one example being the new black panther case.

-These bastards circumvented the rules of the house and senate and mocked the will of the people by reordering 1/6th of the economy by passing Obamacare (of which Senator Al Franken from Minnesota casted a crucial yes vote, the same senator who was elected fraudulently).

-These bastards castigated and continually mocked the tea party movement and have painted them as extreme . . . a movement that is more representative of America than team obama.

-These bastards continue to contravene the constitution and refuse to protect the borders and promote a fusion of socialism and progressivism in our schools and now churches.

-These bastards are socialists, communists and marxists who believe they are intellectually superior and operate with impunity.

-These bastards need to be stopped through legal means . . . voting and prosecution by law.

This country is fractured and team obama is the one prying this country apart with inflammatory and vitriolic rhetoric, rhetoric that does nothing to support liberty and freedom.

Stand Up -  This is it, this is really it.  Vote and tell others to vote help in any way you can with this last week's final push.

74 My sister the lib, who moved to Atlanta a few weeks ago, called and said she'll have to come back to Savannah to vote because she forgot to register up there.  WTF?  I'm not sure she can do that.  Of course, she's also uninsured because after she lost her last job, she "forgot" to keep up her COBRA payments.

Tell her to drive to Ridgeland to vote----that's where everyone who lives in Atlanta but needs to vote in Savannah must go

But they all have private insurance--the free gubbament care there is a hammock, not a requirement like Canada has.

Even in Britain, the ubiquitous NHS (who do everything up to printing the signs telling you to wash your hands) is not really an option for middle-class people.  They all have supplementary insurance.

91 91 Per the discussion we were having the other night about whether vote fraud should be considered treason. I contend that it is an attempted overthrow of the rightful govt. Others insisted that treason is only aiding the "enemy" . Since Obama has declared those who oppose his agenda the enemy then the two parties are obviously enemies. So if you overthrow the other party (fraudulently), then you are aiding the enemy. Works for me.

92 Why I think the Blumnethal lead is bs:

The governor's race between Malloy and Foley is also hotly contested and close. Malloy (D) general has a lead in polls but at 5% at best and never at 50% or better. For this to be correct and the Blumenthal poll to be too that means a significant number of people will vote for Foley and not McMahon. I don't believe it. Blumenthal is definitely favored but it's not even 10% never mind 12 IMHO.
She still has a shot.

Remind people who are squishy about voting that EVERY vote for a Republican is one more vote that the Democrats have to match in order to keep it close.  At some point, they won't be able to "find" any more votes.

I still say that a good number of the early votes that are categorized as "Democrat" were actually cast for the Republican candidate.  There are LOTS of people crossing over to our side because of what "their" party has done over the past 2 years.

My feeling is that an awful lot of these races are going to be called VERY early in the evening.  I could be wrong, but we'll see......

He also said that the republicans could come along for the ride but would have to sit in the back.

Hubby says he's an idiot and didn't get the reference. I think he knew exactly what he was saying and that it was a reference to his redistributionist anti-white scheme where the people he thinks were oppressed get to drive and have the power while the old americans/republicans get the second class citizen treatment.

Re ObamaCare -- you might want to ask potential voters why it is that ObamaScare has a provision that takes a percentage of your home sale to finance his scheme.  Will they be looking forward to shelling out thousands (or losing thousands of their inheritance if their parents' house is paid for) to the Usurper in Chief?  

Do the potential voters wonder why a healthcare bill needed 2300 pages?  Nothing insidious hidden in there?

103 "Blumenthal is definitely favored but it's not even 10% never mind 12 IMHO.

She really doesn't.  Not because she's a bad candidate or ran a bad race, but the simple fact that the WWWF (I'm an old school wrestling fan) is an albatross around her neck.  Nothing she does can change the dynamic in the race.  If Blumenthal's stumbling, bumbling answer to "how do you create a job?" in the debate didn't hurt his candidacy, then nothing will.

how do you deal with people who have an answer to everything and think only they are right?

You have to attack their intellect and their independents.  You have to call them sheep, willing to follow whatever some politician tells them.  Imply that they'll fall for anything.  "What are ya, stupid?  You really fall for that song and dance?"  Imply or state outright that they're not thinking for themselves.

Most liberals are liberals because they think it makes them smart.

I used to think that we and the left had the same goals but differed on how to achieve those goals, that we all wanted a strong a prosperous America.  I no longer believe that.  the Clinton administration was an eye opening experience for me.  I now believe that the left hates America and wants to see America weakened and impoverished.  On a similar note, I heard on the news this morning that for the first time ever the US has been knocked out of the top twenty least corrupt countries list.  There is plenty of evidence to support that.  We are turning into a banana republic.
