My daughter, who moved back home, had to get a drivers' license yesterday in order to vote today. (She forgot that a Virginia DL wouldn't work for voting purposes.)
Indiana requires picture ID with proof of residence.
To get her license, she had to produce birth certificate, Social Security card, divorce decree, and two bills with her address here.
I would say that Indiana won't have too many fake ID's in use.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and forevermore.
The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.
Lord, do good to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.
But those who turn to crooked ways
the Lord will banish with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.

I can't wait for tonight for the victory party! I've already bought pink champagne for the occasion! Let's go, ROMNEY!
I watched the NH rally through tears last night. And did you all see the cute little red-haired girl behind Mitt? She was tired (it was midnight) but she stayed awake and cheered and waved her sign. So cute.

The American Patriot's Almanac
The stories in this book are part of what Abraham Lincoln called the “mystic chords of memory.” They are the symbols that help define the United States, that mark its historic course, and connect its people. It's a daily source of inspiration and information about America's history, heroes, and achievements.
And that's it.

Well, the geniuses at MSNBC have the election figured out.
Their sources from Politico noticed the body language of Mitt at the massive rallies in Ohio and Pennsylvania, so they concluded that he knows he's going to lose. Meanwhile, after talking with insiders of the Obama campaign at the half-empty rally with Springsteen, they note the confidence that he will win.
It's all in the nuance.

This county narrowly went for Obama in 2008 (I wasn't living here then), but went for Griffith in 2010 when he flipped the congressional district to the GOP. I expect Obama will get a lot of votes here this time, too...35-40% of the county gets some sort of government check every month and some families (through several generations) have probably been on the dole since the 1930s. That's the factor that helps Obama run better here than he should...or it did in 2008 anyway.

I watched them for a couple minutes and saw Chuck Todd yammering on about sources inside the Romney camp telling him they are afraid they will lose OH by 3-5 points. Uh huh. Sure. Then they cut to a leftie guy who had spent part of yesterday with Obama's people and said they are sure they will win and he knows too that the numbers are real, and they might only lose NC. Uh huh. Sure. Scarborough at least finally piped up and said the media thought Kerry would win too and, well, oopsie.
Shills to the bitter end on that "network." I want Romney to win for the country's sake more than anything, but I would love, love, love to see the looks on the idiots' faces as a major side bonus.

Correction: Today is Tuesday, November 06, 2012. On this day in 1957, Ed Anger was born. He is at the polls now while I mind our father (we are his caregivers). When he gets back he will report in and I will go to work (voting afterwards).
All he really wants for his birthday is a pile of morons voting for Romney.

VAgirl @ 101:
It never ceases to amaze me that sources inside the Romney campaign machine seek out places like Politico, and people like Chuck Todd to reveal all this internal anxiety. I think it would be more accurate to say they're just making the bs up as they go along.

This would be depressing unless you've seen some previous discussions hear about the proliferation of Romney/Ryan signs in the same neighborhood over the last 2 months. In 2008, literally every home had an Obama sign.

Just a note on what you might hear about Ohio today...
Ohio doesn't have partisan registration, so it is impossible to determine how the early vote is broken down. The counts you will see from the pollsters and news agencies are returned absentee ballots and early voting totals based on precincts and how they voted in 2008.
The trouble with this method is that in 2008, there were a number of precincts that went narrowly to Obama just because it was a "historic" race. So now, even though the precinct was a fairly republican area in the past and in 2010, any returned early vote is assumed to be for Obama. This skew the results tremendously.
This miscounting will also cause screams of fraud when the real totals are released. Democrats will say that it's impossible they lost and cite early vote reports using the flawed methodology. The shit is going to hit the fan all because of bad reporting.

Agreed. It is either some low level "source" or, the more likely option, made up bull crud, courtesy of MSDNC. I refuse to listen to the trash after making my initial channel surfing tour. It's pointless. My news coverage for today will consist of Rush @ 12, Sean @ 3, and then FNC starting at 6pm.
That state senator from OH who has been on MSDNC at night a lot lately was on Schultz's show last night, and she was MAD! Could almost see the steam coming out of her ears as she prattled on about turning OH blue and how evil Romney is, etc. It made me happy. I have never seen her act like that, and I've listened to her drivel a lot lately. Schultz himself looked rather nauseous and depressed, imo.

If Romney wins, I hope he does 2 small, symbolic, but important things. Vows to not campaign until sometime in 2016...this perpetual campaigning has to stop. And, keep the Inaugural celebration small, tidy, and non-glam. Every contrast he can make with SCOMF will help.
The Bible says that every government in place is ordained by God and that He alone sets up and takes down. I have quoted that to myself many many times recently. Praying today for our nation and the leadership. May God allow us to begin to return back to the Constitutional foundations we were established upon...and let it begin today.

You know, with at least some of these people, I think that was the intent all along. If Romney wins, they have laid the groundwork for some to squawk that it was illegitimate or a "stolen" election. Look how many loons still go on long winded rants online about Rove and OH's voting machines in 2004. Logic escapes these individuals.
I think a lot of it though comes down to incompetence and/or faulty polling methods and samples.

Lines this morning were longer than expected. Nobody really said who they were voting for but lot's of talk of getting a fresh start, digging out of this mess, etc. and other very generous allusions to Romney. I would say of the early voters 65-75% Romney.
Anyway that's my very unscientific exit poll...

Me too. I live in Hamden, though I didnt vote in 2008, I was surprised to see as many people up early to vote this morning. I sure do hope its people voting to move on from the last four years than stick with more of the same. But in this stupid state, its probably more liberals wanting more of the same. Have to believe though that in other less blue states, people wanting to get rid of Obama will really come out in droves.

Good morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.
I think I’ve probably told the first story before, so I’ve also added another. They’re both from the shooting of All About Eve, the 1950 film that, in the words of critic Ethan Mordden, “the film that ruined Davis or the film that made her immortal.”
Story Number 1: Celeste Holm, who was cast as Karen, the best friend to Davis’ Margo Channing character, hated her co-star from the moment they met. “Bette Davis was so rude, so constantly rude,” she recalled years later when asked about her time on the movie. “I walked on to the set about the first or second day and said ‘Good morning,’ and do you know her reply? She said, ‘Oh, shit, good manners.’ I never spoke to her again – ever!”*
Story Number 2: Marilyn Monroe had a bit part in the movie as the dizzy Miss Casswell. At the time, Monroe was near the end of the line with Fox; sheÂ’d played bit parts in a number of low-budget B films, but studio chief Darryl Zanuck, considering her unphotogenic, had cut her out of all but two.
Still, Monroe had one thing going for her – she was adored by agent Johnny Hyde, who was a top man at the William Morris office and without whom, it is safe to say, Monroe nevber would have become a star. First he pressured director Joe Mankiewicz to cast her. Then he put the screws to Zanuck. Finally, MM was signed to a one week guarantee contract at $500 dollars a week: this would lead to a full contract with Twentieth that she would have until being fired from the shoot of Something’s Got To Give in 1962.
George Sanders, the urbane English actor who played acerbic critic Addison DeWitt in the film (and who also originated the role of Mr. Freeze in the Batman TV series) flew to San Francisco along with his then-wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor. It so happened that Monroe was on the same flight. Long after both Sanders and Monroe were dead, Gabor picked up her bitchy pen:
I met Marilyn for the first time in the commissary and noted that she was extremely adept at wiggling her ass and batting her eyelashes. On the plane to San Francisco, I had the window seat, Marilyn the aisle – with George, appropriately, sandwiched in the middle. Marilyn spent most of the trip batting her eyelashes at George, who turned to me when we were alone and said, with a mixture of sympathy and pride, ‘Poor girl, she has it bad.’ ‘George,’ I said in fury, ‘don’t flatter yourself, she’s having sex with everybody.’
For Monroe’s part, here’s what she later said about Gabor: “I saw she was one of those blondes who put on ten years if you take a close look at them.”
And thatÂ’s it for me. If God is with us tomorrow, I have a bit of classic Hollywood dialogue primed to go.
Speaking of which – you don’t need me to tell you GOTV and win one for the Gipper. But let’s really win this for the men of ’76, the ones who gave us what historian Pauline Meier calls “American Scripture:”
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
God bless you all, friends in a box. God bless America. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
*BTW, one of the book threads from a couple of weeks back mentioned the Rosemary Taylor memoir-novel Chicken Every Sunday; it was later made into a 1949 20th Century-Fox film where Holm plays the family matriarch, Emily Hefferan.

He slurs his words so much I thought he said that Obama saved the 'oil' industry. Had to hit the DVR, back up and listen again. It still sounded like 'oil' industry to me, but apparently from the image displayed, he was saying 'auto'. The wife said the same thing.

I hear that. Knowing how many liberals are here, I grew a bit angry the closer I got to the ballet this morning. Especially after seeing some Obama signs and what I view as some obvious Obama voters in line. I cant stand people like them. How people can be so ignorant and so idiotic. And I bet most of them could not debate why they think Obama should be re-elected with any facts or sense. I just think there are a lot of voters who vote yet know literally nothing but catch phrases and repeats of the lying attacks on Romney.

Psalm 125, mamawinger, that is perfect for today! And Psalm 100 for later:
Psalm 100Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

I am seething over this but I seem to be alone. Part of the reason we have gas supply issues on Long Island is the gas that is here needs to be mixed with ethanol before it can be distributed to retail stations per regulations. No one is willing to wave this restriction. So many here do not have power and depending on generators now not just for normal electric usage but to turn on furnaces.

do not pay any attention to the comments of Samwise or Greg
They are not regulars. they are not part of the moron horde.
They only showed up here recently. Probably picked the name out of a hat at the Democrat seminar.
do not take anything they say to heart. they are here to discourage to dismay, to undermine any feelings of empowerment you may have.
they will attempt to apply psychological ju jitsu to ruin your day, discourage you from the path of recovery and convince you all is lost.
Again pay no attention to the trolls samwise or gregg.

I agree with Krauthammer-If the election were last Tuesday it would have been a much larger victory for RR than it will hopefully be today. Like him, I attribute the change to dumbasses looking to the "glorious response" to Sandy.
That being said, if JEF pulls it out, the devastation caused by that damned hurricane will make what we actually see it has already caused in NY/NJ look like a walk in the park.

If he loses...we all know what a disaster another 4 years of Obama will be.
But if he wins...how many people will get complacent? How many will smile and nod and say "well, that's fine then" and assume everything's right with the world? What's it going to take to kick people into being motivated to protect this country's future and STAY motivated?

Voted in suburban Philly today, there were about 30 people ahead of us. This was at 7 am. The line moved quickly, when I left 20 mins later, the line coming in was longer than when we arrived. Haven't seen that kind of crowd at that polling place, voted there three times.(in the past i mean)
In other news, court appointed poll watchers are being kicked out of 17 locations in Philadelphia wards. And the NBPP are back. The news is on Tom Fitzgerald's blog - philly dot com.

You've had so much time to be philosophical, today is the moment to act. And you seem to be pretty intent on staying part of the PROBLEM instead of presenting a solution. I've scrolled past your posts every single time, but today I'm addressing you because your tears will be so tasty tonite. Or tomorrow morning early, whenever Romney is declared winner.

All the Dem GOTV went away. Maybe their check bounced.
I early voted on the first day we could in Ohio. My wife is a traditionalist. She was in line at 6:30 this morning with our good friend, next-door neighbors.
I stick by my oft-stated conviction that Romney will win by 7%, we will gain 8-10 House seats, and get to 53 in the Senate. Romney will win Ohio by at least 3.5% and probably closer to 5%. Mandel will win.
There is a great song by a little-known blues band from Massachusetts that broke up years ago called the Radio Kings. The lyric goes something like, "My day of reckoning has finally come, no more won't happen again."
Today is Barack Obama's day of reckoning.
Be not afraid.

Got there 10 minutes early. They let us in and we stood in line in a room next to the polling area. I was number 32 in line - yeah, I counted; wasn't much else to do - and I finally got to vote. It was pretty busy, though this is a new precinct for me. Last Prez election it was crowded, too, early on Election Day.
I was out the door, heading home by 7:35. So it wasn't bad at all.
Go VOTE! Let's get rid of the SCFOAMF!
Whoo-Hoo!
So now it's a pot of coffee, and a big omelet. Don't head to work until 4:30 this afternoon. Should I watch the tube and follow the blithering on TV all day? *eyes rolling*

Already voting in NJ has become a fiasco. I drove 20miles out of my way from my in-laws house this morning, only to find a closed firehouse with nary a soul to be found. Now, I knew they would have no power but I was under the impression that I could vote via paper ballot or at the very least get direction as to which polling place I should go. Not a single person or fucking sign on the door. Looking into the affidavit voting now.
I'm feeling very disenfranchised right now.

If it's true that (R) early voting focussed on low intensity voters while the Dems got out the high intensity, then the inevitable media/Democratic campaign game of calling it for the Dems early works to our advantage.
High intensity Republicans/conservatives won't believe it and will still GOTV. Low intensity Democrats/liberals will shrug, think "Hey we got this", and go back to playing Halo 4.
FINISH HIM!

I just heard the leader of the Independent Hall TEA party on the radio, he said if anyone encounters this situation, to stand their ground if they hold a certificate, but not to be a vigilante. Videotaping or cameras are not allowed at the polls. He gave a hotline number that goes to the state GOP who will dispatch attorneys to deal with the situation.
I was on the phone last nite with a good friend from my city days. He was telling me all the new ways that the city is extorting funds from residents, mainly through taxes and extreme parking regulations. I said I am so glad I moved out of there...there's definitely things I miss about being a city girl. But that city is run by clowns, buffoons, hoodlums, and professional fuckups.
To think that is the birthplace of our nation, where the Constitution was drafted, and now a hotbed of corruption and chicanery. Instead of being proud of our heritage, we have to be ashamed of what Philadelphia has become.

I took my dog for a walk downtown to drop off my ballot in the drop box at the county office building. I'm in Seattle, so it's all vote-by-mail and then trust King County Elections (hah!) to count honestly. These drop boxes are big and have "ballot drop box" on them in enormous letters.
Anyway, a man with a heavy south-Asian accent was at the box right before me and asked if he needed to put a stamp on the envelope if he put it in the box. I was so tempted to say "It depends on who you are voting for" but I was nice and just said no.
And as Sophie and I were leaving, another man walked up and asked if this was where you deposited your ballot. Between the silly question and this being King County, but mostly the silly question, I'm sure he was voting for Obama.

If it doesn't work, there is a fallback plan.
Simple, classic, basic person to person GOTV. Make a quick mental list of ten people you know who are possibly swayable swing voters, or potentially slack R-R voters.
Pop a quick phone call to each one asking about their vote today. Or a text or an e-mail or a shout across the way.
This is not a 1980 election. The demographics aren't there for that any longer. This will be a 2004 nailbiter. Every vote counts. Your effort counts.

taping not allowed at polls. They'll have to have witnesses to write down what happens. I didn't hear about SEALS in Philly, but I do know the TEA party sent people out. They may be some of the poll watchers being evicted.
Just so everyone knows, poll watchers being kicked out is nothing new for PHiladelphia. The NBPP is a recent development though.

It's cold and rainy here in upstate SC. I'm going for my morning run, then showering. Then I'm taking my lady parts to the polls. I'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockers. It's been a long, dark four years. I'm hoping and praying our national disgrace is voted out and beaten so badly that the humiliation will ring throughout his big ears for the duration of his life.
Lastly, and to echo what another 'ron said way above, I want to thank every 'ron and 'ette here. You have made these years bearable. You have made me laugh myself silly. This is the funnest group of people on the entire 'tubes. Hands down. I certainly lack the pithy wit so many of you possess, but I'm a proud to know you all. Now let's go bury Barry!

This was done by the democrats after 1972 when the straight ticket swamped them.. Now it is hurting them.

when you handed over your ID, they asked you to state your name and address. It occurred to me that the typical 'tard that might show up with a faked utility bill or something like that might not think to realize they should memorize the name and address.
Still think it should be a real photo ID requirement, like a driver's license, but we'll just need to keep fighting that battle.

I read that as MORON choir and thought: "we have a choir?"
Where do they meet and practice?
Funny, when I typed it I had to check the spelling cause I thought the same thing.

Good morning, fellow Morons. It is a cool and rainy day here in the Metro-Atlanta area. That will depress the unenthused donkeys this moring (meaning all of them) so any close house seats swing Republican.
I've already done my part to make sure that when the polls close at 7:00 the announcment will be, "GeorgiacalledforMittRomney." Bam! No hesitation, no demoralizing "Maybe it's Obama," like those dogs in the media did for Gore in 2000 *spit*.
The weather maps say Florida is getting a bit of this rain, but is it this, steady, cold, stay-the-hell-inside rain like it is here? Any Florida Morons report?

feel free to introduce yourselves. We don't bite . . . much.
Try to be funny or factual but don't try to explain why we should vote for the SCOAMF/TFG/JEF.
You will be met with derision and biting satire. All aimed at your mom.
Please ignore the trolls/mobys. Do not engage them. Let the professional Troll Busterz do that. You may occasionally see comments that appear to be from some troll but are . . . different somehow.
That is a Troll Buster at work. Admire their work but do not interfere.
Please no applause. We enjoy our work.
And now back to your previous entertainment in progress.

BTW; when I was growing up in Canada, red was always associated with socialism/communism. How did the Republican party come to be lumbered with the color red on the electoral map?

460I voted absentee in Creek County, Oklahoma. There's no question it will go R. In Cape Town, South Africa today at a refinery. There's some interest in the election, as you would expect from a Chevron plant.
Hey, I grew up in Creek county OK.
No doubt about our state going for RR.
I'll be voting this afternoon anyway.

Republicans used to be blue. I've been told that the switch was made in the 70s (I say "told" because that was before my time), supposedly a joint media effort because the Democrats were sick of being associated with Commie red. Too close for comfort, you know.

Just a quick note from here in Haverhill, MA (if anybody's still reading) - walked to the polls. No real lines, but a lot of people coming and going, very steady voting. And everyone with a real quick step, as though they can't wait to get the job done. Heard Brown and Warren both being interviewed on the radio - he's hoarse and upbeat, she's slow and tired and went into some tearjerker story about how she still remembers being 5 years old and sitting at her mother's feet while mom worked as a poll watcher. I'd have given a week's pay if the reporter had asked "was this before or after she told you you were an Indian?" but no luck.
As I said earlier, can't watch the results. I'm too anxious. Anyway, I can watch Chrissy Matthews' head explode and Madcow foam at the mouth at my leisure for the next four years. I'm going back to work on my book. See you all tomorrow.
God bless you all. God bless the United States of America.

I posted the following over on PoliNation. http://bit.ly/myvotes Figured, why just link or restate when I can cut'n'paste! (Lucky y'all.)
GOOD MORNING! DidnÂ’t make it to the polling place before 7am after all, but we were in the first less-than-twenty.
1972, Nixon running for re-election. I wasn’t 21, but they had given me the vote. I was living in Little Rock and voted absentee. I asked my Republican campaigning aunt for advice on the candidates and she, of course, only said vote straight Republican party. There was no third-party candidate on my ballot then, IIRC. I was not happy with Dick and how his “secret plan to end Viet Nam” had gone, among other things. I sure wasn’t pro-McGovern. But in my state, certain things are sure, like a Republican win for Nixon 1972. So I voted for McGovern just to be a tiny protest against Nixon’s failures.
In the ensuing decades, I voted many times like that, as frequently as I could for the Libertarian Party candidate, partly on small-L libertarian principles, partly so a viable third party could stay on the state ballot (although they lost that privilege years ago), partly to protest the two major parties, even if I favored one of them. I’ve probably voted “against” far more often than I’ve voted for. *cough* McCain *cough.* With rare exceptions, I’ve been able to say, don’t blame me, I voted for the other guy.
Even though I once voted for the woman who said the government had planted a radio chip in her head, I do take the vote deadly seriously. Always, always, we looked at the individual candidates as closely as time permitted. IÂ’ve voted for Democrats when the Republican was just too incompetent-seeming.
This year, for the first time for either of us, both the mrs and I voted straight-party. I hope Aunt Pat is looking down from Heaven and smiling that, after four decades, IÂ’ve finally taken her advice.
As Wild Bill says, God bless America, again.

Lumbered??!! Red is the bestest color EVAH!
The Commies stole it.
Think: Roman legions. Big badass legionaries comin' over the hill --- in perfect formation, no less --- to kick some barbarian cootie ass.
I decked myself out in red and sashayed on over to the polling station this AM, with a wide grin on. Left the lance at home.
