Rove Calls it for Obama: 338-200 Electoral Blowout

Sweet!!!

349-189 Obama will win Indiana.

This guy is so sneaky and slimey! He is just looking for us to get complacent and not vote because ‘it’s in the bag.’ Nothing is for sure until the last vote is counted. So go out there and VOTE! It’ll be a long line…but well worth it!

Dont trust this slimeball JUST VOTE!!!

He’s such a pig! Ewww!

Carl Rove should be in prison along with Bush and Chaney!
I would never trust this man.

353-185 obama. and btw dont trust that snake rove. hes trying to get the obama supportes complacent and not vote

Yah, that dude reminds me of a slimy version of Chaney. Now if we can keep Acorn from sabotaging the votes, McCain should have it in the bag. Hopefully the Kool Aid effects will have worn off, and sense will suddenly overcome us just in time.

Republicans have the Diebold voting machines and Democrats have Acorn. Remember its not who you vote for but who counts the votes!!!

Let’s not forget that Rove’s policies (along with Cheney’s) and influence on the Bush administration is what got us into this mess in the first place. You can better believe he hopes Obama/Biden win – he hopes they’ll win and get bogged down in trying to fix things so he can say “If a Republican had been elected, things would have gotten fixed.” This guy is a snake-in-the-grass, and should not be given another thought. Don’t buy what he is selling – go the polls, stand in line, fight for your right to vote!!!!

Toledo Police brace for possible civil unrest
TOLEDO, OHIO — Toledo police are gearing up for possible “Civil unrest” during and after tomorrow’s elections.
In an internal memo obtained exclusively by NBC 24 News, officers are ordered to “Have their riot equipment with them Tuesday and Wednesday”. Police chief Mike Navarre confirms, officers will have gear similar to the equipment they used during the 2005 race riots. “They have been asked to have their helmets and their gas masks available tomorrow and Wednesday.”, Navarre says, “That’s the equipment they would not normally carry with them on a normal day”.
Navarre also says, officers will not be stationed at individual polling stations. But the memo says otherwise. It reads, “On Tuesday, units shall be directed to patrol the polling locations”.

JoeV: That Reverend Wright stuff is water under the bridge, and you know full well that you have friends you “pal” around with that you don’t totally agree with on everything. Friends and associates do NOT make you who you are or determine your character – they are simply supposed to decorate your life, not guide it. Go, Obama voters!

In the midst of the polling statistics and electoral projections, Sarah is steadfast in her zeal. On a CNN spiel from Wasilla, she remarked that she had faith she would win and begin the transition tomorrow. Begin the transition tomorrow in lieu of an unprecedented blowout of a voting turnout which promises to be confusing? Anyway, as far as I know, Cheney is still around somewhere. Isn’t she a tad overeager?

“Now if we can keep Acorn from sabotaging the votes” “ACORN 338″ “Democrats have Acorn”
Acorn can’t sabotage the vote. They don’t count it. They just register voters. And here’s the thing you seem to all be unaware of: First-time registrants are required to prove their ID.
So if Acorn registers Mickey Mouse, he’s not going to vote unless Mickey Mouse actually turns up with his ID.
Bottom line: Acorn can’t sabotage the vote.

Obama will win North Carolina as well…another 15 votes..

Chavez offers talks with “black man” in W.House
CARACAS, Nov 2 (Reuters) – Anti-U.S. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez predicted on Sunday the “black man” will win the U.S. presidential race and offered to hold talks with him to improve ties between the superpower and one its biggest oil suppliers.
Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee who would be the first black U.S. president if he wins Tuesday’s election, said this year he would be open to dialogue with leaders like Chavez — a remark that was seized on by Republicans as naive.
McCain, who trails Obama in polls, has labeled Chavez a dictator.
Chavez, a socialist who has mocked President George W. Bush and calls ex-Cuban leader Fidel Castro his mentor, has said there is an inevitable clash between U.S. and Venezuelan interests, although he has at times offered to ease bilateral tensions.

MASSIVE FRAUD IN PHILLY: DEMOCRATS CAN”T GET STORY STRAIGHT>> ALREADY IN COURT

Hey MArk… be sure to include your buddy.., msnbc Keith Oberdumb in that group AKA “bathtub boy” lmao google it

Breaking: “FBI asked questions on Rezko land deal”
From today’s Washington Times — you know, that major newspaper whose reporter was kicked off of Obama’s plane last week, along with reporters for the New York Post and Dallas Morning News

Rove is making this prediction to 1) get McCain voters fired up to get out and vote so this doesn’t come true and 2) make Obama supporters feel complacent and not vote. If you guys want Obama to win, don’t listen to what this man says…get out and VOTE!!!

Let’s get the facts straight. A lot of Latin American countries have socialist policies. It is because of the disproportion of wealth in Latin American countries. Brazil for instance had to institute a extreme squatting law to help give property (wealth) to natives. Chavez is just an extreme example. By the way he got into power because the US of A backed a dictator in Venezuela just like in Chile.

Steave, ” a female on the Republican ticket which gives these folks one more reason to forget about party unity even if they don’t agree with her positions” ??? You’re saying the few PUMA’s that haven’t gotten over their snit are so STUPID that they will cut off their nose to spite their face and vote for someone who has polar (ha, ha) opposite positions than theirs just because that person is A FEMALE??

Don’t you mean the U.S. of KKK?

If McCain did not have the slimeball Lieberman on his side I would vote for him.
I can’t stand a two faced jerk like this initially he was in the running for VP. What a snake. If Gore had picked a decent running mate he would have won in 2004. Not this camera hungry ugly mug.
I never saw such a whore for camera.

A caller to the Glenn Beck show told about an elderly woman receiving a phone call in South Bend, Indiana telling her she was allowed to cast her vote by phone. “For whom was she voting,” she was asked? She replied “John McCain” The caller thanked her and said, “Your vote has been cast. You do not have to go to the polls.”

8 years of Republican power in the White House was enough!
Even the kind people of the United States got tired of that incompetent nonsense.
The electorate is about to rightfully boot the Republicans out!
No need for Republicans to blame it on the media, or the martians or whoever else you cook up . . . blame it on the leaders you picked (Bush and Cheney) and the results of their 8 years in power.
And blame it on McCain’s display of grossly poor judgement in selecting Palin as VP.
And blame it on McCain looking unsteady and out of balance in his debate performances.
Democratic landslide win!

Why Obama will lose today
The mainstream media did everything they could to knock off Hillary Clinton in the primary season and John McCain in the during the general election campaign to help elect Barack Obama the 44th president. Fortunately, their attempt to persuade the American people that the inexperienced and untested junior senator from Illinois is qualified to be president has backfired.
While the media try to weave a story of a unified Democratic Party and a Republican Party in turmoil, the facts point to a different outcome.
This is no small problem. Since Obama has not united the Democratic Party the way Sarah Palin helped McCain unite the Republican Party, the 44th president of the United States will be John S. McCain.

ypu still here ?…, gosh darn it, I thought you would have taken the 1st flight out of the U.S. by now…..

The sorry argument of the liberal main stream media having so much power that they can tilt an election would be legitimate except for one HUGE fact: the White House has had a Republican in it for 20 of the lsat 28 years!!!
That argument was plausible 20 years ago — before Fox News and the surge of conservative talk radio. Not any longer.

Just to let everyone know. Take your McCain stickers out of your car when you go vote. Our Car just got keyed and scartched along the side of it today. Unbelievable ignorance that no one in this country can have the freedom to choose for President who they want without being considered racists.

“Obama’s civilian security force: Billy club-wielding security guards at Philly polls
By Michelle Malkin • November 4, 2008 01:04 PM
Here’s the vid of billy club-wielding “security” guards at the 1221 Fairmount Ave. polling place in Philly from Election Journal. Just as I suspected, these guys look like NBPP from the emblem on one of the “guard’s” jackets.
Maybe this is what Barack Obama was talking about when he proposed a Civilian Security Force.
“Poll watcher to guard: “I think it might be a little intimidating that you have a stick in your hand.”
michellemalkin.com

All, let’s get a grip. Unfortunately we are going to have the end of America begin on January 20, 2009 when Obama takes the oath of office, but you Democrats need to quit lying cheating and out and out dirty name calling. I am tired of hearing you attack everyone from Palin, McCain, Bush, Rove to any Republican in America. You talk about a united America, but you try to win elections and run the country in a dictatorship by your hate mongering of all conservatives. You started it all with all the racist, red neck talk you mention then complain that Republicans are stating the truth about Obama the socialist/fascist dictator to be. You wonder why this country is going down the tubes when it is the idiots like Obama you elected that ruined Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to begin this economic crisis just so Obama and you Democratic cheat haters can win an election and get a stranglehold on the government. Well, you won and the Depression will begin on Jan. 20, 2009. Way to go. You know how to turn the most free nation in the world into a dictatorship. You will see within 6 months a Depression deeper than you can imagine with tax everyone to the hilt Obama and increase spending ten fold. This will create jobs, yeah. Good luck in this new united country of yours because it is exactly what Obama and the liberals are tying to create, a one party dictatorship. Remember, though unless you do away with parties all together the Republicans will be back in 2012.
Maybe this is why Hillary and Bill decided to campaign more solidly for Obama. They too realize that Obama will create a dysfunctional country and maybe Hillary will be able to defeat Obama in his reelection campaign in 2012 and get the Democratic nomination for Hillary. Yeah, they were smart for backing Obama after they began to back McCain with their comments right after Hillary lost. They woke up and saw she will beat Obama in 2012. See, they know what their doing after all. See you Democrats in 2012.

about sort of BlackPanter guarding Philly Polls:
“another thing is if “the One” is so wonderful and everybody is in love with him,why arent these fellas confident enough in his chance of winning to just let everybody vote?…..lol”

“But you can literally watch the videos and see the Black Panthers at the voting stations yourselves.”
You said the same thing about Ashley Todd.
Yet another right wing scam and that you are pushing it so hard makes it all the more obvious its a last minute scam to scare voters.

Everyone needs to just get out and vote. Forget about the pundits and their estimations, just vote. Be a part of it whichever way it goes.
As for me, I’m heading out with my knitting in anticipation of a long line, to cast my vote for Obama.

“What is 8 years of DEMONIZING Bush and Cheney”
Bush & Cheney do not need demonizing, they are the worst administration this country has ever had.

Concerned in OH
re: “What is 8 years of DEMONIZING Bush and Cheney? Is that not a mental health issue?”
NO…… since ‘W’ & Cheney and the rest of the Repubs have come close to destroying America..
That is why today, Obama wins with a very large portion of the electorate…….
… a complete repudiation of Republicans and Conservatives….

why the obama people cant have there signs in the cars without there tires getting slash.its time to spread the wealth.the republican ran a nasty campain.sarah palain dont even no what she is doing just like her running mate.clueless.an cindy mccain looks like something scary. she didnt even talk during the whole campain.the only thing that matters to her is just being call the first lady.rich bitch

Milwaukee- I am from Georgia and believe me there are no problems, not sure where you got your information from but Georgia has been early voting since September 22nd, lines are less than 2 hours today and if anyone in Fulton Co. (Atlanta) thought there were shortages the NAACP would have already filed lawsuits. Georgia has a 30% black population with most in the metro Atlanta area. I find it very strange any precinct in metro Atlanta would only have 5 voting machines.

A week ago right wingers on this blog were stating Senator Obama faked his grandmother’s illness in an attempt to get the sympathy vote.
How pathetic.
Senator Obama’s grandmother is now dead and the right wingers have moved on to whatever other scraps they can use in an attempt to smear the Democrats.
How pathetic. Grow up.

Well, I will just say Obama has done a masterful job of simplifying his message such that the causes of all of our problems have been successfully tied to republicans, whether deserved or not (see tax cuts/economic crisis). McCain did not help by having a poorly run campaign. I also would have rather seen him pick Thompson/Huckabee/Giuliani/Romney over Palin, although I think she has been attacked unfairly to some degree.
I do predict that Obama will win handily at this stage. However, I still encourage other McCain supporters to vote, as strange things happen in elections.
I sincerely hope that the United States is prosperous, (relatively) safe, and a greater advocate for liberty and freedom than any other nation in the world, no matter which party retains power at the federal level.
I will support Obama as our president, as opposed to those who rejected Bush as president because of their ideological disagreements with him.
Part of me is very excited to have someone with such an American story in the White House. In addition, there is no doubt that he is an intelligent, reasonable, pleasant person, with a great deal of charisma (although I tend to be skeptical of leaders who have too much charm). I only hope that Obama does not move us as far left as it seems he will.
I hope that, should he win today, Obama keeps in mind that he represents all of us, including weird mixed-voters like me, not just his die-hard donors and supporters.
I want to express thanks to Mr. Tapper for having such an entertaining and relatively balanced blog, as well. It is a good forum, despite the heated nature of some of the conflicts in the posts from time to time.
You guys better be right about Barack…I will be back here reminding you about his promises and their unintended consequences…

Is Rove just trying to trick Democrats into thinking Obama has already won (and therefore there is no need to vote)?

Ryan C, pefros:
Thanks! Same to you. I respect your passion for Obama and for a shift in American politics, and in a lot of ways identify with your political positions, as I considered myself very left of center ten years ago. I probably read every Chomsky, Zinn book I could get my hands on…heh.
If Obama is successful in helping make the United States a better place to live, I will be the first to say I was wrong about him. I hope that is the case.
I just want you to know even if we have got pretty heated on here, no hard feelings. We are all Americans, and this is part of the process of challenging and refining one’s politics.

Rove loves to play mind games with the liberals.
I guess he figures they have to be pretty gullible if they fell for BO’s
line of bull.

Speaker of the House John Boehner and Majority Leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell both commented this morning, “Who are we to argue with the brilliant Mr. Rove?”

“The moderate Democrats and the Clinton supporters who kept their vow to never support Obama.”
Maybe. I didn’t support him.
I voted for him anyway. I am a Democrat.
I don’t like many of his positions, I think his campaign was one of the most mean spirited I’ve ever seen, and some of his supporters are really ready for Thorazine, but all of that aside, he’s our candidate and he will have to step up to the plate now. It is time for a change.
We’re a nation of adventurers and gamblers so we roll the dice with Obama and if it comes up snake eyes, we’ll try again in four years with Hillary. If we can take eight years of Bush, we can take anything.
May having be as good as wanting.

pefros:
whew! I won’t comment on who has or who has not made racist comments, as I have seen people called racist for merely criticizing policy, but thanks, because it is my worst fear to be considered racist just because I have a political difference on an issue.
However, just as there are some supporters of whoever who really do secretly hate the US (all present company excluded, of course), that there are some closet (or not so closet) racists out there on the non-Obama side, I have to, unfortunately, acknowledge.

(AP) Four employees hired by a temporary staffing agency to encourage absentee voting for Republican presidential candidate John McCain say they were instructed to tell people they were GOP volunteers.
Kevin Kennedy, director of the state’s Government Accountability Board, said he received complaints that the workers were told to mislead voters into believing they were volunteers. The complaints have been forwarded to local district attorneys, he said, but it’s unclear whether the alleged deception would be a crime.
The employees told The Associated Press on Monday they were hired by Allstaff Labor Group to go door to door in the Milwaukee suburbs locating McCain supporters and distributing absentee ballot request forms. Allstaff recruited them under a contract with a consulting firm hired by the Republican Party of Wisconsin to run its absentee ballot program.
The workers claim they were told to say they were GOP volunteers even though they were getting paid $10 an hour. They were required to sign agreements stating they would not publicly discuss their work but said they decided to speak out because they were angry they had not been paid for the last few days.

The Democrats have always despised Karl Rove. And now so can Republicans, and justifiably so. Therefore lets all unite together and make him look like the biggest horse’s backside in the beltway come tomorrow morning. And it is so easy to do: Go to your polling place and vote McCain Palin!!!

Paul Krugman gets it right.
Instead, the Republican rump, the party that’s left after the election, will be the party that attends Sarah Palin’s rallies, where crowds chant “Vote McCain, not Hussein!” It will be the party of Saxby Chambliss, the senator from Georgia, who, observing large-scale early voting by African-Americans, warns his supporters that “the other folks are voting.” It will be the party that harbors menacing fantasies about Barack Obama’s Marxist — or was that Islamic? — roots.
Why will the G.O.P. become more, not less, extreme? For one thing, projections suggest that this election will drive many of the remaining Republican moderates out of Congress, while leaving the hard right in place.
………….
But the G.O.P.’s long transformation into the party of the unreasonable right, a haven for racists and reactionaries, seems likely to accelerate as a result of the impending defeat.
This will pose a dilemma for moderate conservatives. Many of them spent the Bush years in denial, closing their eyes to the administration’s dishonesty and contempt for the rule of law. Some of them have tried to maintain that denial through this year’s election season, even as the McCain-Palin campaign’s tactics have grown ever uglier. But one of these days they’re going to have to realize that the G.O.P. has become the party of intolerance.
He’s got it perfect. If Obama wins today, the Republican party with the help of FOX and talk radio will be the party of Screaming Zombies that will make the Clinton years look like a walk in the beach.

f you look at every black and evey college kid in the early voting lines, you’d be discouraged…..thinking that is what we’re handing our country over to…the unemplyed wanting hand outs.
__________________________________________
So every black and college kid voting now just wants a hand-out? What a vile comment.

I will give Mr. Obama the same level of respect that was given to George W. by the democrats…NONE..Hussein is not my President
_________________________________________
He will be in January.

“But the G.O.P.’s long transformation into …. will pose a dilemma for moderate conservatives.”
You are wrong. The last hurrah of the ultra-right conservatives was 2004. McCain is a centrist by comparison and he did the country a favor by introducing us to Governor Sarah Palin.
The Democrats hammered Hillary Clinton into the ground. It was mean spirited and even if Obama wins, it was a move destined to pay back bad juju three times over to the DNC because it has broken the back of the core supporters. Even if the Dems sweep, they are living on borrowed time.
Sarah Palin is one of the good things to happen in this campaign. She represents the shift of American feminism, a cause often typified by extremism, toward the center.
I am a Democrat and I think Palin will be a positive force. You can disagree with her positions, but the demonization of Palin will only weaken our position in the future. It is time to step back from the campaign adrenaline and take an honest sober look at Palin because this is someone who will be a contender for years to come.
And it’s a good thing. We’re going to need her.

“But the G.O.P.’s long transformation into …. will pose a dilemma for moderate conservatives.”
Response by len:
You are wrong. The last hurrah of the ultra-right conservatives was 2004.
______________________________________________
The original poster is 100% correct. The Republican party has been hi-jacked by far right wing radical neo-cons. They have become an extraordinarily exclusive party. There is no room for moderate Republicans which is why so many are voting Democrat this year. It’s a shame.

One has to wonder why Rove would be calling the election to Obama. It’s obviously motivated by his own self-interest. Maybe he’d like to be a part of Obama’s bipartisan group.

Why is Karl Rove endorsing Obama as the winner? How does it fit into his agenda of self interest?

Thanks for making my point for me, fungible.
If they lose and you keep kicking her, you’re face will be the next up to the boot. If you don’t know that much about political history, I suggest you study hard between now and the midterms.
Her victories are guaranteed now.

If Miss Piggy says something you better check to see if your wallet is missing.
Who is he trying to hustle now?
With Karl Rove CYA has a duel benefit.

I have been out on the streets and haven’t seen any democrats, very strange, very strange.
Oh, there they are. All in line voting.
McCain likes surges, well he got more than he bargained for this time.

Yeah, about those Democrats all in line voting…Claire McCaskill tried to vote in Kirkwood(St. Louis) today. Only problem was she had already requested an absentee vote ballot. Said she wasn’t sure if she’d be here or in session. WHAT?? She says she sent her sister home to get her ballot as SHE GOT CAUGHT. She truly is an idiot.
Democrat who voted for McCain/Palin.

Let me tell you something. I listened to the “sound bytes” the MSM played 24/7 non-stop for 2+ months and during the first few days, I decided that I needed to understand who was this angry man ranting at his congregants. So rather than just accept the MSM’s BS and opinions, I researched, found the link to his church and then listened to all his available sermons in their entirety. This preacher, Rev. Wright has been so unfairly MALIGNED by so many people who have only listened to the ‘sound bytes’ rather than even trying to understand the gist of his sermons. Furthermore, Rev Wright served our country as a Marine and was highly decorated as a result of his bravery and service. Not only that, he has served his community on a ‘daily basis’ in every capacity his ‘entire’ adult life. Have you done anything close to that for your country and your community?
Furthermore, I saw him on NPR with Bill Moyers and found that he has a superior intellect, he is witty and he is quite charming. [I have a feeling that one of the primary reasons Obama enjoyed his company so much was because they both have such 'superior intellects' and could mentally spar with one another and throw around ideas - not as many speculate to teach Obama to be a radical!] I hate hearing anyone malign Rev Wright because he has done so much to help others and this is not what he deserves in return. He is so brilliant and has an extremely generous heart. Can you match any of those qualities?

HEY ANGIE
ROVE IS TRYING TO MAKE DEMOCRATS THINK THEY HAVE WON—-SO THEY DONT GO TO VOTE
ROVE IS A TOTAL RAT .

Yep. Obama will win in a landslide. That’s why I am staying home, no need to vote.

I find it extremely disheartening that the press is even allowed to project, predict… anything before ALL voting polls are closed. The press helps to corrupt the entire system. It is rare to actually get the facts and only the facts on any story. Why is it that we the people are treated as though we are idiots. How can you project something when you only have 2% of the information? This process is to important to us as a “Democratic Society” to allow such distortion. There were some comments made just a short while ago about Ohio and the fact that the Obama camp still had people knocking on doors today. The indication being that the sheer saturation of people helped him to win that state. First of all, all votes are not talleyed, second someone knocking on my door is not going to make me vote for you. To make that reference insults the people.

Hey, Karl…are you telling me that all the time you masqueraded as a Repulsican you were really a demoncrat in drag? Leave us alone…….go get an honest job.
