I brought my 18 yo to vote for the first time today. A big thank you to her college English prof for giving an assignment to analyze the factual content of presidential advertisements to her class! You can imagine which candidate fared better in that regard. And the kids got to figure it out on their own. Nice!

Ellen’s right: voting IS the best revenge.

I especially love the one that says, “VOTE — it angers the billionaires” . . .

I voted this morning in CA, I was #20 in my precinct. There were fortunately no shenanigans at all where I live, everybody very courteous and respectful. I can’t wait to watch rightwing heads explode all over America tonight as President Obama is re-elected. Yes, I’m calling it right now. Have faith folks. The better man will win!

Well, I did my call-room duties, responded to almost every Michelle Obama email with a donation, and generally tried to be calm and reasonable during this overlong and anxious process. I have to admit, I still feel that I didn’t do enough.
It’s going to be a looooooong day, but I’m starting to feel that Obama will prevail, and that is most important to the entire country. How ANYONE could support a party that literally stands for lies and deception really escapes me. I must still be too much of an idealist to comprehend the Republican/TeaBagger mind(?).
I have to thank all the Newshounds for helping me maintain what little grasp on sanity I have left!

The teabaggers are out in force today at polling stations in minority neighborhoods. Desperate and vile effort to suppress voting. Screw them. Vote early and often.

Gov. Sarah Palin will deliver informative, erudite, & edifying election commentary on FOX tonight. She is always alert, adroit, & authentic; never agitated, acrimonious, or acerbic. Don’t miss it.
