I'm very worried about what Howard Dean just said.

He stated there is serious voter intimidation in Pennsylvania and Ohio. One of his own relatives in Pennsylvania was forced to fill out a provisional ballot even though he had a valid voter registration card. Also said if Obama loses Ohio it will be because of crooked voting machines. Scary.

He said people were forced to stand in the cold showing identification to prove they were eligible to vote.

Somehow Dems got control of the situation in 2008. I've been hoping that is the case this time too, but what Dean said shook me up.

The GOP has been obsessed with winning state level positions for the sole purpose of bringing them to bear today. Partisan GOP Secretaries of State and county election boards who are willing to compromise the validity of the vote.

puppies tend to aggravate our "stress hangover".

Just wear padded slippers and don't make a lot of noise until tomorrow and everything will be fine.

Obama will win OH and PA easily.

Does anyone remember Maddow being worried about McCain beating Obama in 2008? Obama won by 10.

But I agree with Dr. Dean. IF we do, it was stolen. You don't consistently lead in polls and suddenly lose on election day. Silver is right.

If there is yet another totally unexplained 5% exit poll "red shift" giving Romney the victory they've stolen from us and it needs to be investigated.
