Voter fraud!

Meanwhile, Linda McMahon, WWF queen and two time Senate candidate, is pushing for the Obama vote. Remember when moderate hero Romney was supposed to be competitive in New England?

Supposedly, she's only doing that in black neighborhoods. This woman will say anything to get elected.

She'll probably lose again on Tuesday and she will have spent something like $90 million dollars on her two unsuccessful senate races!

Scary. I find it funny when Republicans say so many democrats just vote blindly without any real grasp of the issues. When these Romney supporters are so strong in their support yet can't name a single thing Romney stands for. And then there is the crazy lady in the pink shirt who says Obama is a Muslim Atheist.

So you'll be basking baking in 92 degrees of Autumn weather.

Analysts are great at not really analyzing. They're pointing out that Barack Obama has been met with smaller rally crowds than the masses of 2008. He must have been like a shiny new toy back in 2008 so why expect the same level of enthusiasm four years later? They ought to make the comparison to not so shiny but still kind of new Mitt Romney's rallies.

I'm having trouble with their dead heat polls. IA with anyone saying this is for some sort of dramatic effect and they have until about 7 or 8 p.m. Eastern to drag this out.

This morning on the only news radio station I can get, the political editor interviewed someone from Politico who was in Ohio covering the election. The guy tells him that Barack Obama's people are confident blah blah and the editor lets him know that Mitt Romney's people are just as confident. The Politico guy then mentions that Barack Obama has 70 overstaffed offices and when he checked on Mitt Romney's two, they were both closed. I guess they haven't caught up in the ground game.

I've asked that question many a time. Heck I even asked it here and no answer. In fact I want the Romney supporters to tell me why more tax cuts for the wealthy are the answer or cutting more federal programs when Bushs tax cuts are still in place. The wealthy have more cash, businesses are now cash heavy and have been for a while. So why is it more tax cuts are the answer if those that are being targeted for more have done nothing with the money they have gained the last 4 to 6 years.

It was HOT out there today! We were in Chino at the air museum there and it was ridiculously warm... I'd even say hot, and I know hot living in the Southern San Joaquin Valley! 92... wow! It was a little windy and was wondering if it was the fabled Santa Ana winds causing the warm conditions?!

Sandy is just the rationale for another crushing Republican defeat for some in the Beltway press circle that refuse to believe Democrats can win on values, strength, issues and popularity. Obama was up well before that, and I think most people know that.

In other news, 10-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh wrote to the President for advice on how to deal with people teasing her at school about her two dads. The President responded.

The original letter, which is adorable, should be linked in turn at the link.

    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      Me when someone asks me to be proper and demure. 
    • This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.  
    • Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).
    • I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc
    • Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      Got another sad news from the Bahamian community (not a celebrity)  https://www.instagram.com/p/DJMSrYCgyes/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Former Bahamian Senate President J Henry Bostwick, Husband of former 1st Bahamian Female Cabinet Minister Dame Janet Bostwick is dead yesterday on his 86th birthday.    Thanks and for those who've aren't familiar with the talk shows in The Bahamas on this thread here, his talk show named The Freedom March with Dr Rodney Moncur that airs on ILTV and The Beat 103.5 FM Nassau every weekday afternoons. IIRC, he suffered a illness before he died.  Here's the link for his final taping of the show before his death: https://ewnews.com/this-is-powerful-rodney-moncurs-final-sign-off/

So instead, I do what I love to get me revved up!!! . What that 20 minute warm up always looks like for me. What do you love that gets your body moving? LET’S GO!!!!!!! #DanceItOut #NoExcuses #FitOverFourty #TakeYourBodyBack #FindWhatGetsYouMoving     .           .
    • One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
