| Somewhere around the time President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie were standing in unison, while members of Team Romney reportedly were purchasing items to be given away at a fund-raiser for storm victims, it hit me. Somewhere around the time Donald Trump was bleating about the president missing the deadline and saying charities would suffer because of it — as if the money wasn’t Trump’s to do with what he pleases — it hit me.

I don't know. The "early" voting today in Columbus Ohio is a line around the building of minorities and people from the poorer neighborhoods. Last week, you could walk in and early vote in under 10 minutes. I believe that there's a united plan to overwhelm these early voting centers at the last minute, which will allow more questionable votes to be cast. This is why the Republican Party tried to cut off early voting to reasonable few days before the election. Want to see voter suppression (my vote!) on display today? Go to an early voting center in urban Ohio. I expect all those in line will be bused back downtown in time for the Obama rally, I mean Springsteen Jay-C concert, this afternoon. No doubt with a box lunch on the bus.

Better listen to #2. It's the same in Atlanta. Busing the blacks to the early polls, giving them money and then back to vote on Tuesday. This is where the stimulus money went. SEIU spending it as fast as they can to insure reelection of the Won. And the press helping all they can.

Buck up people! This artcile - as well as many more to come today are meant to demoralize you. Do not let the fear mongers get in your head. Do what you can where you are, and hold steady.
You will see an onslaught of articles like this. They have moved off the "must win Ohio" meme to the "will win the electoral college" chant.

Thank you, #13
For those of you worrying about the "close" election and vote fraud, here's a bit of advice for you:
1) STOP reading and watching the news (yes, even Lucianne),
2) Go to hillbuzz.org and read all the positive, uplifting, confident reports there, and
3) STOP spreading your fear among our ranks--all you're doing is helping the enemy (think of it as making donations to Bathhouse Barry cause you're not helping yourself; you're just demoralizing the rest of us)!!

#13, #14, Yes. Mitt Romney is a smart man with a smart team. Look what he made of the debates, that were as usual formulated as an ambush of the GOP but look what he did. And he surprised everybody at least twice in a major way - the first and the last debates. He knew what was coming and he thought of a strategy around it. Pray for the man and give thanks.

Remember in 1948 it was a leading Chicago newspaper which headlined, "Dewey Beats Truman." If Obama were to win it would show we have degenerated into another Zimbabwe or Russia concerning how the media and elections are fraudulently handled. It will be then that the 1st and 2nd amendments will be thoroughly tested.

Not a convincing article - he gives most of the swing states to Obama but never give any evidence or justification to why he thinks they will go that way. When my state of Virginia, along with Ohio, Wisconsin, and Colorado all go to Romney, I sure he won't admit he was wrong, he'll blame stupid voters or fraud or something silly like that.

Chicago Public Schools’ removal of the graphic novel Persepolis from classrooms sparked protests Friday and outcry from the autobiographical novel’s Iranian-born author. The district denied Friday it had banned the book outright from CPS schools, saying instead it only removed them from 7th grade classrooms for being “inappropriate.” CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett also ordered up training for any high school teachers who wish to continue using the illustrated story of Marjane Satrapi growing up in revolutionary Iran.

Federal securities regulators implicitly blamed former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his budget office for the fraudulent manner in which state bond investors were misled about Illinois’ sickly pension ledgers. But in making a nearly unprecedented case of securities fraud against the state, the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday laid bare a trail of responsibility for Illinois’ nearly $100 billion pension crisis that extends far beyond the impeached ex-governor’s scandalous time in office.

In the dark hours of Thursday morning, Feb. 28, I awoke to find CNN featuring a continuous shot of a helicopter. The network cut between a close-up and a distant dot. It was Benedict, flying from the Vatican City. This was extraordinary attention for an ordinary cardinal, because as Benedict told the throng awaiting him, “I am no longer pope.” I am not a scholar of Catholic history, but I believe we were witnessing the first time the papal throne was vacant. It may have been occupied by rogues, scoundrels, impostors or even a woman, but always there was someone sitting there.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez had just returned from taping a segment on “The O´Reilly Factor,” forming half of an ideological odd couple with Bill O´Reilly if there ever was one. He was preparing a House floor speech declaring, “The Republican Party really met Latinos on Election Day.” And he was telling me on the phone that, when it´s all over, “Chicago is going to see a lot more of Luis Gutierrez.” It´s that kind of moment for the Chicago Democrat. For nearly two decades, the onetime Northwest Side alderman has been an oft-lonely voice in the Washington wilderness on immigration reform.

With due respect to all of you hardworking political consultants and TV station owners, there´s only one reason to hold an election. That´s to determine who will shoulder the oft-onerous task of governing. Now that the election is over, President Barack Obama holds that honor. So do Springfield Democrats, particularly House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton. They wanted the job. They got the job. Now they have to produce. On the national level, one clear need is immigration reform.

Flashback 2008: job losses in free fall, a housing market boom gone bust and credit markets in crisis amid the Great Recession. Four years later, the U.S. economy continues to climb out of the hole that engulfed it at a still sluggish pace, and economists say it will take many months to regain all the millions of jobs lost. Since the darkest days of the recession, which began in December 2007 and ended June 2009, the job market has gone from losing a high of 818,000 jobs in January 2009 to adding jobs for 25 straight months

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
