Victory Dance!

For at least one day, I'm going to enjoy this.







I know, Barack Obama is far from perfect, but today, VICTORY DANCE!




It's not even so much that Barack Obama won, but some truly despicable people lost.


 


Joe Walsh, the deadbeat dad, GONE!
Allen West, unrepentant war criminal, Buh-Bye!
Richard Mourdock, bag of scum, DEFEATED!
Todd "legitimate rape" Akin, YOU ARE DISMISSED!






I know, in a day or two we're all going to have to start writing our senators and representatives demanding that there be no "Grand Bargain," because Barack Obama has always proven himself to be waaaaaay too eager to compromise with the right, but for today. . . .

Mr. Rogers Weighs In

Election Night Blogging

7:00pm:
Richard Mourdock is leading? How in the hell is anyone voting for Richard "rape pregnancies are God's plan" Mourdock?

7:10:
Geezus, Tim Kaine, if you can't beat George "Macaca" Allen, you might as well hang it up!

7:11:
I think Mitt Romney just won President of Kentucky.

Chuck Todd looks like a rumpled drunk.
Also, I hate that guy.

7:30:
Is South Carolina in play? That's pretty shocking.

How is Sherrod Brown not blowing out Josh Mandel? The guy called Mourdock a "class act!" How is that not electoral poison?

Oh, and speaking of Mourdock, he's losing now. So things are not completely insane.

7:35:
Aaaaaand, it's gone! South Carolina goes for Romney. I knew that was too weird to be true. I've been to South Carolina, there's no way Obama was going to have a chance there.

7:40:
Why does Chuck Todd keep saying that Barack Obama is "overperforming" in this or that county? How does one "over-perform?"
On a related note, why is Chuck Todd on television?

7:45:
Wow, is Ezra Klein wearing lipstick?
I'm not saying it's not workin'.

7:50:
Barack Obama is leading in Florida. Let the shenanigans begin!

8:00:
I just found out that if the National League team wins the World Series, the Democrats win the White House, so another good reason to love the SF Giants.
And hate the Yankees.

8:05:
Congratulations, Angus King. Cool to see another independent.

8:10:
Chuck Todd: if Obama wins 60% of Hispanics, he can't lose Florida. It will certainly make it too close to call all night. If that makes sense to you, congratulations, you're Chuck Todd!

8:15:
Oh my God, Chris Matthews, there IS NO  BRADLEY EFFECT! How are you trotting that shit out in 2012?

8:20:
Howard Feinman just pronounced "Stratum" like "Stray-tum." Have I been saying it wrong all these years?

8:25:
Chris Matthews, you really shouldn't brag about being good friends with the people you're supposed to cover.

8:30:
You know, Rachel Maddow, you really don't need to break in to tell us that Romney is winning Arkansas.

8:40:
Just saw this picture of the world's most douchey furries:


8:45:
Oh, hey, here's an idea. How about NOT interviewing Ken Blackwell? The guy can't even get through his bullshit talking points without smirking.

8:47:
Ken Blackwell is more full of shit than a fertilizer factory. Just don't have him on the show. Don't give this liar a platform.

8:50:
Blackwell is lucky he didn't come in studio for this interview, because Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz would be beating his ass right now.

Don't you apologize to him, Rachel!

8:55:
Apparently, #VoteWhite  is a real thing on Twitter:

The Funny Racist™ ‏@TheFunnyRacist

I heard Michelle Obama will be wearing a cotton dress tonight. I wonder if she "picked it" out herself? #VoteWhite

The Electoral College was the founders' worst idea, totally anti-democratic (intentionally) but it sure makes election night more exciting. It's like the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament: Breaking news, there's an upset brewing in Carolina!

9:10:
NBC should totally not be doing this "democracy Plaza" or whatever thing when so many New Yorkers are still without electricity. The money they spent turning Rockefeller Center into a giant election map could maybe have been spent better?

9:15:
Wasn't Pennsylvania supposed to be a "swing state?" Obama is destroying Romney there!

9:17:
I didn't know Tammy Baldwin was gay. You go, Wisconsin!

9:25:
This exists:


9:35:
Gee, adding Paul Ryan to the ticket didn't help Mittens in Wisconsin! I'm shocked!

9:45:
Yay! Mourdock slinks home in defeat! Which is something that God intended to happen.

9:47:
Um, Chuck Todd, when you say "46+4+50," which you really needn't say, you totally don't need to add "that's Five-Oh." No one was asking "did he say 50 or 15?"

9:50:
 If Elizabeth Warren had lost, I would have wept myself to death by dehydration.

10:05:
Down goes Akin! Don't worry, maybe it wasn't a legitimate defeat.

10:10:
Linda McMahon lost? But her husband is a famous buffoon! That totally qualifies her to hold elected office!

 

Senatorial!   

10:15:
Hey, Chuck Todd, the election is going on RIGHT NOW! Are you seriously running a segment entitled "road to 270, WHAT IF?"

10:20:
Ben Nelson replaced by a Republican? But how will we tell the difference?

10:25:
I know there's a long way to go, but my brain is still on daylight savings time and I'm going to bed.

They are going to steal this election.

Or at least, they are going to try.

They are doing everything they can to keep people from voting.

They know they can't win this one, so they are going to steal it. They are going to steal it in Florida, they are going to steal it in Ohio.

Remember the Rick Scott voter purge in Florida?

Remember the guy that got caught throwing out registrations?



Now Absentee ballots are being thrown out in Florida:
In Volusia County, officials have already thrown out 153 ballots, because the signature on the ballot did not match the one on the registration card.

“To be told my signature didn't match, it was a shock,” said voter Bill Archer.

Archer registered to vote in Volusia County 30 years ago.  He’s since had multiple strokes and now has to sign with his left hand instead of his right hand, and his signature now looks nothing like it used to.

Ohio's secretary of state first tried to have early voting only in Republican districts, then eliminated it all together. Then refused to comply with a court order to restore early voting and then everyone kind of got tired of that story, so who knows what eventually happened?

And "True the Vote" has somehow gotten their members installed as election officials.
True the Vote and its affiliated Ohio organization, the Voter Integrity Project, have signed up as observers at polling places Tuesday in various precincts across the state.

Chapin worries about the reliability of voter information the groups may have. Earlier this fall, the Voter Integrity Project unsuccessfully tried to remove dozens of Franklin County voters from the rolls that members said were improperly registered.

Tim Burke, Hamilton County elections director, said, “We know that the Voter Integrity Project has recruited and through the (Hamilton) County Republican Party has placed some poll workers

And these right-wing "poll watchers" are going to be eeeeeeeeverywhere.

Mitt Romney’s campaign has been training poll watchers in Wisconsin with highly misleading — and sometimes downright false — information about voters’ rights.

 Documents from a recent Romney poll watcher training obtained by ThinkProgress contain several misleading or untrue claims about the rights of Wisconsin voters. . . . One blatant falsehood occurs on page 5 of the training packet, which informed poll watchers that any “person [who] has been convicted of treason, a felony, or bribery” isn’t eligible to vote. This is not true. Once a Wisconsin voter who has been convicted of a felony completes his or her sentence, that person is once again eligible to vote…. On page 3 of the packet, Romney poll workers were instructed to hide their affiliation with the campaign and told to sign in at the polls as a “concerned citizen” instead.

Oh, and don't forget, Tagg Romney owns the voting machines.

Broward is a Democratic stronghold that Barack Obama is expected to carry by a large margin. But initial early vote totals reported by the office of the Broward Supervisor of Elections changed on Sunday, in some cases dramatically, causing some to question the numbers.

An analysis of the unofficial totals by early voting location on the Broward Supervisor of Elections website from Saturday, compared to the tallies posted on Sunday, shows that in one location, the E. Pat Larkins Community Center, located on Martin Luther King Blvd. in Pompano Beach, the revised totals showed 1,003 fewer votes. The initial tally reported from the polling place in the heavily black neighborhood showed 2,945 votes, but the revised tally was 1,401. Across the 17 Broward polling locations, 15 saw their vote totals revised, mostly by minute amounts of between 1 and 7 votes. But the three more significant changes, including the addition of 398 votes in Tamarac (a racially mixed community) and adding 99 votes to the totals from Pompano Beach City Hall, whose demographic is majority white.

They are going to steal this election. Everybody needs to go out and vote, we can't let it be close enough to steal.

The less relevant you become, the wackier things you have to say

Because no one gives a shit about Rudy Giuliani anymore, this:

Rudy Giuliani: 'This is a worse response 

than Katrina'
    Former NYC Mayor criticizes president's response in Northeast


"Right now is doing a terrible job of disaster relief in my city, but no one is talking about," said Giuliani. "People don't have water, they don't have food, electricity and his FEMA is no where to be found. This is a worse response than Katrina."

"They are still finding bodies in Staten Island," said Giuliani. "People are yelling and screaming, 'How does the president get all this praise for disaster relief? How does Gov. Christie give him all this praise?' He's doing a terrible job with disaster relief," said Giuiliani. "This is a much worse than it used to be under President Bush."

I never understood the whole Giuliani thing. He was mayor of New York when 9/11 happened. That's pretty much it. Obviously, you can't put any of the blame for 9/11 on Giuliani, but I never understood how hw got to be considered some sort of hero either. What did he do? It's not like he ran into the burning buildings to rescue people.

 

None of these guys are Giuliani.

But somehow, people started referring to him as "America's mayor," and he built his entire campaign for president on the fact that he was mayor when something awful happened. It never made any sense to me. 

But now, no one  cares about him any more, so on the rare occasion that someone sticks a mic in his face these days, he has to say something like that. Something so ridiculous that it's bound to get noticed. Something that might help him book another couple of appearances on FOX.
