Thanks for the warm fuzzies.

I usually vote on Election Day. Big tradition in our family. Hubby and I take the kids and make a huge deal out of it.

Can't wait!!!

Always fun to live in a swing state!

The IA Dems have been very active in getting the absentee vote too. Wife and I have been helping when we have time. Mike Gronstal told me the number of absentee votes for Democrats from 2010 (but I can't remember it ) but it was huge compared to the repubs.

It makes a huge difference.

Those absentee ballots are mostly for elderly, shut in, and shift workers, all of whom have been alarmed by Romney's 47% crack and Ryan's attacks on Social Security and Medicare. They're fired up, pissed off, and ready.

All you had to do this year was compare energy levels at the conventions. The GOPs sat rooted to their seats, golf clapping. The Democrats were jumping up and cheering.

Gone was the loopy hate of previous RNCs. One is tempted to think the drug's effects are finally wearing off. Or maybe the procedural wrangling that muzzled the Paul and Santorum factions had an effect. Whatever it was, it was the most lackluster convention I've ever seen.

I would be utterly gobsmacked to see real enthusiasm for Romney. I am not a bit surprised to see it for Obama.

for a massive turnout of majorly pissed-off voters of all stripes,
who are scared shitless of this idiot Team Rmoney ever getting
within 10 miles of the White House.

Thanks mostly to the fact that every time either Mitt or Ryan
open their mouths, the gaffs just keep coming, loud and clear.

Thank you Mr. Rmoney. Well done.

I totally agree. I think the Dems took one look at Romney/Ryan and said, "Oh HELL no!"

I think that the Dems are probably more mitivated than the Repubs. And after Romney's horrifying September, I bet they're all too depressed to go out and vote.

Isn't that what they say or I'm wrong?
