I'm a little ashamed to think that all it takes to gain with women is to say "peace" a lot, like it's the equivalent of shitting sunshine and rainbows.

NARAL petition... telling Romney to withdraw his endorsement of yet another
dude who wants to control a womans body. Maybe this will help with the polls...

Dear ,

Did you know that Mitt has endorsed a candidate who said that pregnancy from rape “is something that God intended to happen”?

Romney-Ryan's Endorsements

Tell Romney to take a stand for women and withdraw his endorsement.

I thought I had heard everything until a U.S. Senate candidate from Indiana, Richard Mourdock, said, “even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

Who could be so callous as to deny a rape survivor the right to have full control over what happens to her body after such a traumatic experience?

What’s even more disturbing is that Mitt Romney endorsed this guy and appeared in a TV ad for Richard Mourdock.

I’ve called on Mitt Romney to withdraw his endorsement, and I know we can make a real impact if we can get 30,000 people to stand with me. Please add your name.

Romney’s campaign responded to the controversy saying that they did not agree with Mourdock’s comments—but Romney stopped short of withdrawing support for his campaign.

It is painfully clear that Mitt Romney places higher value in supporting his extreme anti-choice ally over supporting women who have survived a sexual assault.

Help me show Romney’s campaign and the media that Americans are appalled by his refusal to take a stand for women. Please add your name to our statement calling on Romney to withdraw his endorsement.

Thanks for speaking out.

Ohio, state of my birth, don't let me down again.

It's just so close, and Ohio is . . . well, Ohio.

Obama has steadily been holding a small lead in Ohio for a very long time and other states are looking pretty good as well- but of course a small lead is a small lead.

Now I am worried about this damn storm- of course people's safety first- but also Turnout! I am a nervous wreck that this could throw everything out of whack.

We can walk to our precinct so no worries, may need paper ballots but we're going to vote no matter.

Are there any precedents for storms delaying elections?

I can't remember it ever being an issue. But that is when paper ballots were used.

Same here...can walk. I did have this weird little panic thing happen...like what if something got lost and I am not registered and/or they moved my polling place and I don't know it?

Crazy thoughts from a scared Obama won't win, Butch.

Corkey & Ami, Dapper & Tantalizing stay safe out there!

Oh and yes be sure to vote, glad to hear you can walk. Crawl if you have to, lol. Seriously though we are thinking of you.

One state I am a bit nervous about because of the storm is PA. As I understand it there is only in person voting on Election day itself. Correct me if I'm wrong Corkey. So if the weather is bad maybe it effects turnout? OK hopefully not.

I haven't heard about in person voting days for other states that could be effected by the storm yet.

Nate Silver analyzed Ohio today- being up 2.3 with 10 days to go. He seems pretty bullish about that. Woo hoo.
