On the poll watcher thing, often you won't have to be there from 6:30am to 8pm. They try to break it down into shifts if they  have enough volunteers.  I will be poll watching from 6:30 am to 1pm.

 

This is probably the best way you can help your party on election day. When you hear people talk about GOTV operations, this is what they're talking about.  Will you do your part?

There seems to be a common thread running through these headlines;

 

We're f--ked!

 

 

12 One of the headlines reminds me to send some cash to Mia Love.

13

So the voice of the people was heard...after 70,000 voice mails and a deluge of texts protesting the NFL replacement refs, the real refs were back on the job last night. They received a standing ovation.

 

Imagine if DOJ had been bombarded with texts and voice mails demanding the truth about Fast and Furious. Or the White House switchboard shut down due to complaints about the resident family's profligate spending of taxpayer dollars.

 

The priorities of John and Jane Q. appear to be seriously misplaced and disordered.

@9,  If I ever trick a girl into marrying me, she won't be doing many chores. I love cleaning my house, in fact I don't think I would trust anyone else to clean it as well as I do.  Also, I love yardwork and gardening.

 

The only think I hate doing and suck at is laundry, folding and ironing. That would essentially be my imaginary wife's only chore.

>>The Warren campaign refuses to detail the full scope of Warren’s private legal activities from her Cambridge office, but details are being uncovered day by day.

33 Who are the coaches and players going to blame their losses on now?  If they are anything like the Democrats they will continue to blame them on the replacement refs.  

34 "Netanyahu To Speak With American Leader Today" LMAO. Love it.

35 Bleg: Can you take off work on election day? If so, you should volunteer to either be a poll watcher or work in the phone banks. I was going to take off election day and the day after (either due to hangover or still drunkness) but I highly doubt I will be able to do so now due to losing half our staff by next week. We're not looking to replace so that means it's going to be very difficult for anyone to take time off without it being a huge hardship. I'm really disappointed about this since I was on the list to provide transportation for voters.

If you don't like politics that much and the information about it is relatively difficult to get (MFM) then the your participation and reaction is going to be limited. So, you could get a referee strike reaction to fast and furious by increasing interest, or by increasing access, or both. You can't make people more interested in something without first telling them about it.

Or volunteer to drive people to the polls for a 4 hour shift.

Fair warning, the WSJ poll that was very good for Romney has dropped from RCP, while the Fox poll that is good for Obama has gone in.  You are going to see tightening towards the middle in all of the averages.

Based on history, I'm expecting Rasmussen to be Obama +2 today.

66 I IRON!!!!

Posted by: phoenixgirl, what did huma abedin know? at September 28, 2012 09:37 AM (Ho2rs)

We have an iron and an ironing board.  The last time it was used was about 2005 time frame when I was getting stuff together to go to a dinner ceremony with a bunch of big wigs from work.  I discovered my white dress shirts had all shrank in the collars (we had got rid of ties a long time before that).  I had t rush down to the store and buy a new dress shirt and press it because I didn't have time to take it to the cleaners. 

To my knowledge it had not been used a long long time before that.  Now that I am retired there is no chance will get used.  I never wear shirts or slacks that require pressing now except for weddings and funerals.  I can get stuff pressed in advance for them.

67 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

68

I'm pretty certain that SCOAMF is getting ready to roll out the "Blame Bill" strategy in order to justify all of the lying he has been doing lately.

 

I've been told that SCOAMF has ads ready to run saying essentially, "Well Clinton lied continuously during his presidency!  Hell, he even lied under oath and was held in contempt!  He was impeached, for cripes sakes!  It worked out pretty well for him."

69 legal insurrection is on fire. it's been the highlight of my week. and he's doing it part time. just brutal.

70

>>Good idea. Can I wear my side arm and my "fuck all liberals" tee shirt?

 

No you can't bring a firearm into a polling place, at least not open carry and political clothes are not allowed in a polling place either.

 

Seriously though, volunteer with your county committee to give people rides. Every single vote matters in this election.

"... The other job is to work a strike list. ..."

 

 

I'm in NY, so I would consider this a waste of time in my local area.

Go to google and google the nearest PA counties Republican committee. Call them and ask if you can volunteer to be a poll watcher in PA

80 I've gotta say, living inside these poll internals the last few weeks, people are nuts.

Large majorities say "the economy/country is on the wrong track", "Things are getting worse", "Our country is in decline".  But then a majority says, "But the guy who understand us best and can fix things is Obama".

What. the. fuck.

My Princess Bride story. 

In 1992 I was I had moved from the city and was living in the Hudson Valley in NY.  I was at the gym in the morning after having watched the Princess Bride on TV the night before.  I was doing dumbbell presses on a bench when a guy came over and looked down at me after I finished my set and asked how many more I had so that he could use the bench.   I didn't answer him right away because I was trying to take in that the Evil Prince Humperdinck was asking me a question.   Apparently Chris Sarandon was a guest in our gym that day.

Re: Ironing

 

Only chore I like.  Holdover from my military days I guess.

84

The other job is to work a strike list.

 

Gawd, we need this in Dallas (Texas) County. The Democrats made this a blue county six years ago and ass GOP voters haven't managed to evict them yet.

 

The problem is twofold: low GOP turnout and a failure to vote straight-ticket. Figures show that if just 5 percent more GOP voters finished their ballots, we would take back all the county offices.

 

I'm a precinct chairman so if you want info on how to help, e-mail me using the link at the bottom of my site, which is linked below.

Well-deserved attention, definitely.

96 ...a Norwegian study has found ---- I had tons of European work colleagues and friends over the years and visited there pretty frequently. Their social structure and mores are so different than ours that I really don't think you can take much from a social study done on Europeans. What works best for us is treating our life together as one life, not two separate lives that are somehow linked. Over almost three decades that has meant an ebb and flow of who takes the lead on things, whether it be moves based on career considerations, doing the grocery shopping, or balancing the checkbook. It also helps if you can be honest with your spouse and tell him/her "hey, I'm really sick of doing the dishes... how about you take that over for a while and I'll do X."

97 If someone has already posted these, sorry, didn't see them. Today from Ras O 47 R 46. With leaners tied at 48. No new swing state numbers that I can see at this time(not a premium member). Romney pulling 86% GOP and +4 with indies. Obama pulling 85% Dems.

Honestly?  Good sign.  This hasn't been a great media week for Romney, the 47% thing is near its end and the campaign changes with the debate.  This is noise, I think, not a long-term trend. What shocks me is that people don't seem to be bothered by the fact that an ambassador was raped, murdered and raped again and that a man has been arrested for (pretext aside) making a video.

I don't know if the 86%/85% numbers are real (they seem low to me) but if 15% of Dems are really not supporting Obama now, he doesn't get them back.

98 74  Really?  Is the franchise as a whole not doing well?  My aunt and uncle has opened and closed five restaurants over the last twelve years.  He has considered managing for a large chain because he really just loves the business. 

99 Over at Weasel Zippers, there was a story posted saying our guys and gals in Afghanistan will no longer get air support. A kid on the front over there sent a letter to his Dad. My husband heard on our local radio that this was true. A Special Forces guy was a guest on a program we often listen to, and he said it was going to make many little Alamos in Afghanistan. Can someone verify this? Can we get the message out if it is true so we can lean on Congress Critters, and make this go public. We cannot allow this to happen to our military members. We must step up to the plate if this is correct.

The Gary Johnson voters are wrapping themselves in the justification since they are not voting for Obama, they are not hurting Romney.  My brain hurts at their pretzel logic.  Especially if they vote Gary in swing states where its close.

Somewhere in bizarro Brooklyn, a hipster who diligently follows the AoSHQ is nodding in agreement.

113 "Honestly? Good sign. This hasn't been a great media week for Romney, the 47% thing is near its end and the campaign changes with the debate." Obama has a huge ad buy in the swing states focusing on the 47% comment, so I will be touching myself. If you think about it, after Romney's media declared awful week, he's either tied in the polls or down a couple of points. That's pretty impressive. It will be neat to see how things play out after the first debate.

114

I wish Romney would fight back. Repeat as often as you like while standing on your head chanting Ommmmmmmmmmm.

Also, can some Mass. Morons please tell me WTF is up with Feinberg & McPhee in the morning on AM 680?  They are so down on Romney it's incredible.  I had to turn them off    this morning before I put my fist through the radio.  Did they drink some tainted Kool-Aid or something?

120

Really? Is the franchise as a whole not doing well?

 

Oh lord yes.  They lost over a hundred stores since July alone.  Even some of the top performing stores have had drastic (>50%) losses in sales in the past year.

 

It's not just the economy that's killing the franchisees, it's the management of the brand.  I could go on for quite awhile on the mismanagement on all levels, but suffice it to say if you like the food (and the food is really good in a well run store) go get it because they may not be there that much longer.  The AUV is significantly less than the avg unit pure breakeven.

125 What works best for us is treating our life together as one life, not two separate lives that are somehow linked. This. All of this. I've been trying to get this through Boy BFF's head. You are a team, not two people who happen to live together. There's a reason I prefer partner to all other terms for boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse, whatever. It's because that's what you're supposed to be, partners in everything. There's no one right way to do things. If someone is better at handling money, they handle the money. If someone is better at cooking or cleaning, that person does it. It's what works for you that matters and screw what other people think.

I live in Tarrant Co, would I be able to help, or do I have to live in Dallas Co?  Also, I'm not a registered Republican (since I see no reason to do so), if that matters.

127 I'm amazed when I go to the dry cleaners and see all those shirts hanging. How can people afford to have their shirts done?

For those curious about anecdotal Obama voter enthusiasm, I'm in Westchester NY. You couldn't walk down the sidewalk without tripping over Obama campaign paraphanalia four years ago. Now, I've seen maybe a dozen Obama 2012 bumper stickers, most of the rest are faded and four years old. Not a single yard sign to be found. Now that said, Romney/Ryan enthusiasm isn't that great, only seen about as many bumper stickers, but then again, I woudn't risk putting one on my car in this area, and I assume most other Romney supporters in the area feel the same way. This is not to say Romney has any chance of winning here, but if Obama is having a hard time getting the NY libs to support him (and yeah, my liberal friends hate the scoamf) I can't imagine he's doing all that great across the country.

 

Romney in a landslide.

I don't think information about politics is difficult to access. The internet and conservative talk radio provide an alternative to the Parade of Alphabet Ministers of Truthiness. People just don't give a shit. It's easier to parrot the talking points of The Intellectually Lazy, such as: "Both parties are the same, there's no difference"...than to do a little actual research take the time to care about who your own state rep is. If nothing else, it'll help expedite DMV issues. Do John and Jane Q. need a directive from Oprah or Matt Lauer to find out who their local elected representatives are? If that is the case, we are well and truly boned. 

All the time that fantasy footballers spend researching stats so they might be able to cash in to the tune of 50 or 60 bucks at the end of the season. While the Choomer in Chief and Co. are systematically dismantling the middle class and creating a bigger dependency class.

 

But bring us the bread and circuses, it'll be all good in the hood.

132

>>I'm amazed when I go to the dry cleaners and see all those shirts hanging. How can people afford to have their shirts done?

 

How much does it cost to get a shirt dry cleaned? Also, I don't think people get them dry cleaned after each time it's worn. I think they take it to the dry cleaner when it gets a stain, starts to smell, or after the 8th or 9th wearing.

I don't wash my collared shirts with the same frequency I wash the rest of my clothes.

133 114
Why are there more Obama commercials than Romney ones? Obama trashes Romney every chance he gets, while Romney kisses his ass.

135 If you're an executive or in sales, can you afford to NOT have them done? Image is everything. ----- My husband is an executive, but he relies on my lowly ironing skills. I guess I should ask for a raise! :-) OK, here's a somewhat related question for the domestically-inclined morons and moronettes. What brand of t-shirt (undershirt) do you recommend for wearing under a dress shirt? I want crew neck t-shirts that (1) hold their color and (2) don't look see-through or mishapen after a month.

136 Good news, I wanted to volunteer as a poll watcher and they didn't need me.  They have a long list of volunteers, much longer than they can remember having.  And the best part?  I live in PA.  I will take my turn at the phone banks though.

Interesting. Anecdotal info from da' Island. No Obama yard signs. No Romney Yard signs. However Romney bumper stickers far outnumber Obama bumper stickers.

That's great Deanna. Every little bit helps. Even if you can only make calls for 1-2 hours.

 

Everything will help in this election.

144 I'm concerned you're not concerned enough about the concern troll, Y-not.

145 Totally off topic(s) question....

Does anyone have a good "water on the elbow" home remedy?

I've tried icing it down and that seems to help temporarily but the swelling comes back as soon as I use my arm for anything.

146 The problem with Quiznos is they are more expensive than Subway and Blimpie and they serve Pepsi products.

I'm a budget conscious Diet Coke drinker.

The economic downturn isn't helping either.

147 Well, speaking of domestic bliss. Mr BigShot forgot his cell phone so I gotta run and bring it to his office. Later gators! I am really interested in t-shirt recommendations if you have any. Price is no object (kind of) b/c they'd be for work.

148 I'm amazed when I go to the dry cleaners and see all those shirts hanging. How can people afford to have their shirts done? Depends on the situation, it may be more cost effective given time constraints to have it done by the cleaners. Around here I think it works out to something like $2 a shirt to have laundered and pressed. That's not a bad deal at all. I'm a big fan of the in-dryer "dry cleaning" stuff like dryel. I'm really really fussy about washing my clothes every time I wear something (mainly because I'm one of those people who constantly spills things) and being able to clean my sweaters and dressier shirts at home is a big time saver.

149 LandsEnd or Nordstoms, Y-not.

150 $2.50 per shirt? laundered.  If you make six figures, it's no big deal.  $50 per month to not have to iron the shirts

151 Does anyone have a good "water on the elbow" home remedy?

Bone-saw and a torch?

152 @141 That's a good idea.

153 I believe Chris Sarandon died this year or last. Made me feel old though the only film I remember him in was They Shoot Horses Don't They.

154 Southern Cal neighborhood, ZERO Obama signs, ONE R/R sign. Brave soul.

155 So a point about the 47%.  The concern trolls are harping on it, and I do think it will die out over time.

However, it was damaging and does show up in the polling internals that I have seen.  I've also seen the Obama ad on it, and it looks effective.  If I were persuadable, it would work on me.

We are lucky that Obama felt compelled to put it out early and not in late October, it would have been much worse.  Romney will need to counter it somehow, either directly or by moving the conversation to something else.

Now I'm not talking about it is moving large numbers of people, but it is worth 2 to 3 points of support toward Obama.  Given that Romney is only winning by 1 to 2 point right now, that could be dangerous.

156 >What brand of t-shirt (undershirt) do you recommend for wearing under a dress shirt?



Hanes and FOTL perform well over time

157 Just remember Susan Sarandon's husband dumbed her for a younger chickie and while attending a tranny performance, said tranny vomited all over her.

158 I like Quiznos, but I always thought it was overpriced.

159 Romney meeting with Netanyahu? straight up racism.

160 Well there is one thing about dry-cleaners.  If you take shirts, pants, blouses, skirts there for work reasons.  Can claim that as a deduction on the income taxes.  Unless Obama and the Democrats closed that loop-hole.

Posted by: Y-not at September 28, 2012 10:08 AM (5H6zj)



My favorite is Hanes ComfortSoft.  Very thin texture,  and when worn with dress shirt and coat, the ensemble doesn't create excessive heat.  Also good for lounging about or buffing shoes.

173 I am really interested in t-shirt recommendations if you have any. Price is no object (kind of) b/c they'd be for work. I used to get FOTL and Hanes for the BEX and the Good ExBF and that worked fine. Pro tip - make sure you check the t-shirt under the shirt to see if it shows through, yes, even white.

174

I've worked on Bush's 04 campaign and McCain's 08 campaign in Tampa. I'm still up in the air whether I'm going to work on Romney's campaign. I really want to see strong debate performances from him before I take off work 3 days (M-W) to work and travel to FL. I'm hoping that he'll show that he's a fighter to the voters unfiltered by the media. Hell, I'll donate $500 if he call Obama a liar to his face during the debates. I'll donate $2000 if he calls him a fucking liar. LOL

Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Hobbit and ABO Supporter at September 28, 2012 10:00 AM

Massachusetts. The question is the answer.

Remember that the tainted Kool-Aid  is mass-produced and easily available to the Great Unwashed (i.e. Democrats). All y'all may be motivated to dig around for actual facts, but too many people look at the evening news shows and say "oooo, that Barack Obama is one great man! He done killed that A-rab guy! Gave me a free phone, too!"

Seeing these people around, reading their comments at various sites and just plain old experience with idiocy among our citizens tells me the polls may be more accurate than morons are willing to believe.

I don't know what the answer is. Too many years of "playing the game" of politics, too many years of a eunuch-filled Congress, too many years of easy welfare and too many years of liberals being in charge of education have caused irreparable damage.

It isn't what you know to be true that will affect this election; it is what the low-info idiots across the country feel that is going to determine the result. How do we fix that? I'm beginning to fear that we can't. Unless those at the head of the parade get their minds right, what we do means little.

(And no, I am not being an Eeyore, FFS.)

Most Quiznos are only marginally more expensive than Subway.  For example, my restaurant is only 4% more expensive overall than the closest Subway.  Many products are actually cheaper.  Price isn't the issue and carrying  Pepsi products isn't something that kills a national chain.  (Quiznos also doesn't feed you shit sandwiches)

 

Their problem comes down to menu inconsistency, massive store closures, failure to effectively advertise for about three years (until two weeks ago), and a horrendous profitability structure.

180 113 Is that the ad buy they weren't going to run in North Carolina? Or is this a new one? Gee, they feel the need to run alot of ads in those swing states they supposedly own. Where was Obama yesterday? Oh thats right ... Virginia ... campaigning. I thought VA was a lock, why not spend more time governing and meeting with the leader of one of our major allies.

Where was Obama yesterday? Oh thats right ... Virginia ... campaigning. I thought VA was a lock, why not spend more time governing and meeting withthe leader of one of our major allies." Well, when you're ahead in in every swing state, and you have a bunch of cash to spend on ads (which he does since he airs a ton more than Romney), it has to go somewhere. It's ridiculous when people say, "why is Obama spending money in Ohio or VA or FL if he's winning there?" Where else is he supposed to spend it? Try to win AZ? Utah? Kentucky? Obama is pretty much just locking things up now. It doesn't even really feel like a Presidential election is going on. The last time I can recall that was in 96 when Dole was dead by the time October rolled around.

I get your MFM point, but the core of most the stories that they are suppressing is the question of Liberty, and constitutional rights and process. In this regard, Americans are woefully ignorant. Ask any legal immigrant who now enjoys residency here. They know that the average American in no way appreciates how good we have it in comparison to the rest of the world. And this state of blissful ignorance leads the majority of us free to focus on really important pursuits like American Idol, Honey BooBoo, and sports.

 

When Roy Oswalt was pitching for the Phillies, he took a leave to help out his Mississippi hometown who were suffering from a tornado. He came back, when questioned by a hostile press, he stated that his priorities are God, family, then his job. He got a raft of shit from the locals for making that statement. I don't think it's the MFM's fault that Philly's baseball fans thought Oswalt was an asshole for putting God and family before MLB.

Todd thinks he's too smart for all of this and Michelle McPhee referred to Richard Tisei as a social moderate about a month ago. I listen to them because I have to (since 1200 went weird). Sometimes I just shut the radio off, it's better than screaming at it...

215 I'm a big fan of the in-dryer "dry cleaning" stuff like dryel. I'm really really fussy about washing my clothes every time I wear something (mainly because I'm one of those people who constantly spills things) ---- Me, too! I've looked at them but never tried them. I will.

217 Yes, the soup company is leaving Cali. Comcast is closing down its call centers there too--that's about 1000 jobs. They put out a press release saying it was due to CA's bad business atmosphere and then the governor's man called them up and told them to change their press release, which they did. I would guess that Brown threatened to mess with their other business interests in the state unless they did.
