The big day has finally arrived. I’m trying to get done as early as I can to live blog the vote counting. I’m current with replies. Tomorrow I’ll probably be getting a very late start, due to staying up tonight.

Short Takes:
From MoveOn: How ‘Romnopoly’ Is Rigged, And The Middle Class Has Zero Chance Of Winning
It doesn’t get any more basic than this. If Lord Willard wins, YOU LOSE!
From NY Times: Elected officials in New York and New Jersey scrambled Monday to enable displaced citizens to vote in the election on Tuesday, relocating scores of coastal polling places that had become unusable because of power failures, flooding or evacuations.
New Jersey and New York both said they would allow voters uprooted by Hurricane Sandy to cast provisional ballots anywhere in their states.
Even in safe states your vote is too precious a right and too important a duty to throw it away.
From MSNBC: Ed Schultz’ final push to voters

If Lord Willard gets his way, there will be two classes in the US: super-rich and poor.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Puzzle — 3:58 I must admit that I'd like my schooner filled with beer more than floating on water, even though I love the water. I get motion sick too easily!
MoveOn — Excellent video! Want to bet that Romney came out of the womb playing Monopoly so started building his currently displayed values really early in life!
NY Times — The whole article is summed up well with these two quotes:
"Across the storm-damaged region, bleary-eyed, disheveled residents drove long distances and waited in long lines at government offices to cast early ballots Monday, and many said voting felt like an important step back toward normalcy."
“It’s your right to vote,” she said. “You figure out how to get there, and you just do it.”
Way to go people of New York and New Jersey! Life is tough, really tough and then some for you after the hurricane, but your vote is precious!
MSNBC — 2012 — Will 2012 be the year that "slavery" almost returned to the US?
Cartoon — If you don't vote, you may lose the right to vote if Republican/Teabaggers get their way!
Get out the vote!!!!! Four more years!!!!!
Vote Democratic 2012!!!!! Vote Obama/Biden 2012!!!!!
Beat me!
Nope. He came out stealing Monopoly games from other kids.
Amen!
No, thank God!~
Bingo!
4:42 obviously I am a bit rusty.
3:42 Looks like the wind caught my sails today.
A win for Patty!
Welcome back Jerry! I've missed you as I'm sure everyone else has too!
Congrats TC! Looks like you're doing great in your league this year. Keep it up!
MoveOn ~ Every body except the elite lose if Lord Willard is the chosen one.
NY Times ~ In an unprecedented move, the election laws were changed today in NJ.
