2012 US General Election Discussions: Start to Finish

Corkey · 11-01-2012, 05:26 PM

NJ will be voting from military trucks. So one question answered.

Martina · 11-03-2012, 12:20 AM

Polls are looking good. Fingers crossed.

Kobi · 11-03-2012, 01:33 PM

Got my first celebrity political call today.....from Matt Damon supporting Elizabeth Warren over Scott Brown for the Senate. Matt has good taste.

Wonder when Ben Afflect will be calling?

Miss Scarlett · 11-03-2012, 03:30 PM

OK, now I think I've seen it all...has anyone else seen the SuperPAC sponsored commercial set in China in 2030?

All the negative talk about China in this election is creeping me out. They're one of this country's biggest creditors, is all that talk really a good idea? Just wondering...

I have my ballot ready to deliver by hand to the elections offices downtown on Monday. It took me nearly a half a month to wade through all the political construals that were provided in what seems to have been a tome of information.

And, like so many of us here, I am deeply concerned about the outcome of the current presidential election.

The Columbus Dispatch reported on Thursday that a data-sharing glitch and mistakes by election officials have caused thousands of absentee ballot requests to be rejected. While Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted maintains that this was a computer error, the Northeast Ohio Voter Advocates found an abnormally high rate of rejected absentee ballot requests in Cuyahoga County, a Democratic stronghold that includes Cleveland. The Cuyahoga Board of Elections determined that 865 ballot requests had been erroneously thrown out.

I know? the debt...but, they depend on us to buy from them.
China needs the US for their exports....we buy tons from them. That is our leverage.
The exports to china from US has risen...finally...

Hey, can you spare some time between now and Tuesday to get out the vote for Barack?

Our campaign's strength has always been in our grassroots organization. But that neighbor-to-neighbor outreach doesn't just happen -- it's driven by people like you.

And over these last few days, we're counting on you. Can you help out by making some calls using our online call tool?

I can't stress enough how much Barack needs you. Our actions over those last three days -- how many calls we make, how many doors we knock, how many voters we get to the polls -- will decide this election.

I've met volunteers all around the country over the past year and a half who have been organizing so hard they've practically worn out the soles of their shoes just to get us to this moment.

If you're one of them, thank you. And if you're joining in for these last days, thank you, too. That's what it takes to move our country forward. And that's what's going to give us four more years to finish what we started.

So sign up now to get out the vote by making calls to voters, on Election Day and before:

I got a call from Pat Boone yesterday.

He was calling on behalf of Linda McMahon (running in CT). I called her branch office immediately and asked them if Linda was aware that Pat Boone is a bigot who said that homosexuals are worse than terrorists.

The man who answered apologized and said he'd had no idea and that Linda McMahon supports the gay community.

Having an asshole like Pat Boone call is real supportive, right?

Kätzchen · 11-04-2012, 06:59 PM

Well, here we are, less than 48 hrs away from hearing the verdict.

Side note: I have yet to be called by anyone. But this probably has to do with me setting the parameters on who gets to call me. I don't like calls, so that probably figures in respectively to my own parameters being respectfully held in place. However, I have had a number of people who have paid visits to me at home. Each time a volunteer worker came to my house, usually late in the evening and fortunately I was home, I found them to be very respectful in their presentation of information and I always made a concerted effort to thank them for coming to my house and checking up on me and sharing with me items of relevancy. I plan to write to each respective candidate office and share positive feedback with them on each visit made on my behalf and to advocate this approach again, if necessary in up-coming voter elections issues. I find that grass roots organizational approaches are probably the best single method available, in organizing positive voter turnout; with voters being much more informed by having a personal conversation with people who are well versed on voter issues, rather than a call or being assailed by non-sustainable practices (mailbox full of pamphets, flyers, etc).

Leaving less of a carbon footprint is always better.

He's also a birther.

I got an email from Kiefer Sutherland. *swoon* He wants me to vote for Prop 34 to end the death penalty in California. I was going to anyway, but I might have changed my mind for him. He is one of the very few men I would do.

Mmm. Jack Bauer. I would email him back, but unfortunately his email address is info@voteyeson34.org

Martina · 11-04-2012, 11:27 PM

Okay, Rachel is scaring me. Why did she need to get on on a Sunday night just to scare me?

It's about the long lines and all the ways that Republicans have managed to discourage voting.
