Aloha, PW!

Aloha!

Is the YouTube working for you? I’m just seeing the link for some reason.

Obama has a new angel…

Hey PW!
Works for me.

it showed when i refreshed the page pw

When the post first appeared it was only a link, it’s fully functional now…!

Grandma’s love and expectations is paying some dividends here in Arizona……

Just heard from a friend who dropped off our button making machine to the downtown Phoenix Obama campaign office…. she said it was amazing….

There were 100’s of people working, making phone calls, in the office, they were out front, in the back and side yards, sitting on the floor, on their cars, every where making calls and they were happy and laughing……

THATS McCain’s home state and home city…… hahahahahaha

As sad as this moment is, I would suggest that anyone who has questioned Barack Obamas ability to lead under adverse circumstances, that question just got answered.

Imagine what the man has gone through today…..

How sad…….

What irony……

It’s working now!

I was getting lost, trying to follow fdl around the menu bar.

We’re greeting Sarah in the morning, when she goes to vote.

Yeah, 20+ months of this, near the finish line.
The guy is a rock.

No kidding. Granted, he knew it was coming, and she must have known he was going to win, but still…

tis a great video pw - thank you

Classy.

Incidentally, his grandmother voted by absentee ballot, and the state of Hawaii is planning on counting her ballot: http://slog.thestranger.com/20.....vote_count

Digg this!

What I hope is that Madelyn Dunham had what is called in hospice a good death…… one without pain and so glad that she and Obama had the opportunity to say their goodbyes

It was poignant to see Obama speak about it in Florida with tears leaking while he spoke….

Dugg, neuro. Thanks.

Dugg!!!

Absolutely. I wish that for everybody…even the people I don’t like.

Will the California Rethugs file a complaint with the FEC for this one-night-stand-in-Alaska? Will Todd vote? Will the children ride free on the flight?

Give us a real thrilla from Wasilla tomorrow morning, ET!

Dugg.

Dugg you Digg Neuro!! How are you enjoying your new spiffy PC hope is blazing along for you!!

They said on TV she died in her sleep.

Then it is even better…..

My #22 a reply to ET’s #11.

There is a bittersweet peace to knowing that Barack’s birth family are reunited at this so important time. And that we, the American family, have opened our hearts and minds to him and his message of hope.

She died in her sleep… between 3am and 4am…

When I watched Barack talk about his Grand Mother I could feel his pain yet he kept going and is a great example of a leader who forges ahead no matter what. He was heroic in the way he spoke of her you could feel the love he has for her. She did a really good job raising Barack and his sister. As many of that generation did!!

ET, I hope you get a really good President for your birthday! Thanks so much for your endless, tireless work!!

That’s good. I know if I was one of the family that would be a great comfort.

Happy Birthday ET!

rethugblogs have been indulging in monstrous gallows humor about Obama’s grandmother all day. Classy as always.

there are issues…it doesn’t seem to like Internet Explorer…which would be OK but Firefox doesn’t let me use (show text) or post Diggs…I’m sure everything will work out in the end…beats waitng 25 minutes to refresh a page

rethugblogs have been indulging in monstrous gallows humor about Obama’s grandmother all day. Classy as always.

Lovely. Hope they choke on the karma.

I believe she died knowing he would be our next president

I Haven’t figured it out…but they have some training program for really mean, cynical stuff. Maybe started by Rush, Im not sure, but it has numerous alumni.

Happy Birthday ET

McSlime Rev. Wright commercial now on my TV…

again I must ask, Is this all they’ve got?

sick

sociopathically sick

They think it will be enough. We are blanketed with it in the SF Bay Area.

No shame at all.

Happiest of birthdays, ET.

I hope he mentions Toot in his inaugural address

every commercial break during KO and Rachel was Rev Wright……. mute works very well…. Kind of seems like a waist of money to me…… why during the very hours that the most informed viewers are watching?

maybe they know they’ve lost and they are just running this trash to get in our face

And McDull on CNN….about to get off, I think…speaking in Nevada….and off to Prescott. Going to campaign tomorrow…Colo and New Mex. Sarah going to Reno.

I believe you are right, but know matter she died knowing she brought up a kind decent man who has deep empathy for his fellow human being! He will make a fine president!!

How are you holding up, katymine?

what more could one ask for a lifetime accomplishment?

When we stand along the roadside tomorrow morning in Wasilla, we will be thinking of Obama’s family, his mom, and how well they are connected, before, during and after this life, as we protest Sarah Palin’s role with other women, other people her own family, on the day she votes in the town she cut the funds for rape kits in.

save the happy b’day stuff for the next thread. at least I got to talk to my mom.

Make sure you are getting all the updates and even try doing manual checks for updates!

shake your fist at her for me, would ya, ET?

Thanks. I had a wonderful conversation with a Black woman who works in a nursing home where I have clients….it was really holy to hear her confidence in Obama and the hope/change it all represents for a lovely woman of a certain age. I felt really privileged she was so open and really optimistic and visionary about what he can do for our country. With those happy thoughts, I going to bed.

That’s a fine testimony you gave. Thanks

McCain said a weird thing today on the radio…… he said he was finishing his campaign in Prescott AZ…… that it was kind of traditional….. that Goldwater used to finish everyone of his campaigns there…….

Ah Oh…. did McCain invoke the 1964 Goldwater loss elephant?
And since pretty much everyone in the Goldwater family has endorsed Obama….

Needs accurate reporting, thanks.

how?

Cleanse your brains from the Rev Wright spot, here’s an ad for Barack with Paul Simon’s “American Tune”

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....40266.html

Hope.

Tired of all the robo calls…… thinking it is my doc calling with the test results…. unless the caller Id says something besides “private”…… sleep hasn’t been easy waiting ……

other than that…… scare, nervous and worried until Obama puts this in the bag…

Yep. That is the best ad of the campaign.

BTW Palin’s doctor released a summary of her medical records.

http://www.nytimes.com/aponlin.....ref=slogin

The thing that is so suspicious here is that Palin is described as a perfectly healthy woman. If this is so, then why are the full records not being made available?

yeah, but, like Goldwater, in McCain’s heart he knows he’s Right

My guess - her records include a skull x-ray series, and they can’t very well let that go public.

What an amazing election. Have been reading around the blogs and this has brought out the patriotism in just about everyone - even The Rude Pundit. Some of the writers just bring tears for the hopes and dreams that everyone seems to have now.

They’ve been playing that stupid thing in michigan too. I don’t think it’s working at all. I ignored the stupid thing, and my new roommates are 1st time voters in their 20s. :D They’re all for Obama and were before i met them. One of them was asking me about the Voter ID issues here in this state. (in other words, be prepared. bring redundant ID.) This on the other hand, is my 4th Presidential election to vote in, i look forward to it. Waiting in line in the morning should be interesting!

what, evidence of Neandrothal breeding?

I know that is mispelled, I just don’t know how to fix it

I’ve seen a lot of comments from “over fifty” folks who had a very emotional reaction to the song in the ad.
And even a few “twenty somethings” with the same feeling. Who could guess?

Also OT the NYT has an article on how the dopes at Treasury are flying through the bailout money, conducting their business in secret, and accomplishing nothing. Everytime I think about this I feel sick.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11.....ut.html?hp

All through our trip through Europe…. in France, Italy, and defiantly in Greece we were asked over and over again if we thought Obama could win…..there was a way they asked….. a lilt, a way their voice rose in hope and implying just saying it could make it happen…..

Was in Europe when Obama spoke in Berlin….. did anyone know that there are over 4 million ex-pat Americans living in Europe….. lots of Americans went…..

Have the votes come in from Dixville Notch yet?
.
Who would have guessed Denny Crane would vote for Obama?
.
And in the spirit of Colbert, my fave 3-syllable campaign phrase:
POUR IT ON….
.
From Wasilla to Miama to Hawaiia to Afghana…may every vote count…for Obama.
.
Get Out The Obama Vote.

has McGramps issued any kind of condolence statement?

I had 2 reactions-yeah, the Simon song, and that this is the ad Obama should be blanketing the country with in the last 36 hours. Too bad it’s not Obama’s campaign’s ad.

The song in my head all day has been “the sun will come out TOMORROW” - I expect so. :)

Yes. A very nice one.

I will be driving folks to the poll tomorrow. I’m so glad it’s going to finally be over.

Yes, from him and Cindy.

Am I saying the obvious? they don’t want to disclose the number of pregnancies? prescription drugs? learning disabilities? no snark intended. full disclosure: we have dyslexia in our family.

Thank you for this, I caught the end of it and wanted to hear the whole thing. A work of art.

good.

And more OT the federal deficit for the 2009 fiscal year which began a month ago is projected currently at $988 billion. Another Bush legacy.

I dreamed I was dying…
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
Looking back down at me
Smiled reassuredly
and I dreamed I was dying…

That Paul Simon album was one of the first records I bought.

I was listening to French news today. They reported on a McCain rally at which 500 attended. They then went on to an Obama rally with 9,000. To top it off, they covered an Obama rally in Paris with folks singing: Obama, Obama pour Président. Yeah, I think they’re ready for a change too.

Who would have guessed Denny Crane would vote for Obama?

Was Boston Legal tonight?

Aaackk - I missed it - crap.

Yes, I did. And they ask so well. Today I had a cartoon from Paris, saying the “world” election is in the hands of Americans.

Ah Oh…. Grampy is up way past his bedtime….. Midnight rally in Prescott ….. they are saying there a lot of attendees …… but looks pretty sparse…..

McCain doings at the Biltmore…… the grand hand out for the rich white folks in Phoenix….

I love it that the people with the most talent are using their talent for Barack.
Look at what the other side is producing. Ugh.

Well learned something I didn’t know….. AZ law allows 3 hours of paid time off to vote as long as the employee gives notice to their employer in writing……

You get to the update page from your control panel you will see it near the bottom of the page.. sorry for taking so long to answer had to put the feed bag on!!

First returns, from Dixville Notch, NH:
McCain-6
Obama-15

Good evening, all.

Dixville Notch:

Happy Days are here again…

Hey john!

has McGramps issued any kind of a concession statement…yet?

Thanks found it…..

Heading out…. Nite everyone……

AND IF you haven’t voted….. PLEASE VOTE….. stay in the f’kn line….. don’t let anyone stop you…… just vote…… bring friends……

has McGramps issued any kind of a concession statement…yet?

I have my doubts as to whether he’ll ever do that….

If you saw the look on his face during his stump (which was nearly identical to his convention speech, with a few recent touches) this morning…
Spoke volumes.

they showed them building the tents and stage at the Biltmore here in Phoenix on the local news…… the hotel guests were NOT happy that their stay was going to be disrupted by Grampy….

Nite, thinking of you (I’ve been there, so let us know what’s up). Good karma km.

Sorry Hugh, this was meant for Katymine at 99. I have another about Paris for you…sorry.

There’s a line in the Shawshank Redemption that describes the Obama Campaign perfectly.

An innocent man is wrongly convicted and imprisoned.
He escapes, and his final exit from the prison is through a sewer that drains into a creek.

The line is something like “He crawled through a mile-long river of foul-smelling shit and came out clean on the other side.”

That’s god-damned right.

off to bed, GOTV at 8:30 a.m.

nite all

Right on.

Hi Chris, Suz and everyone. What a day! I got to see Joe Biden here in town. Lots of fun but I’m footsore, I walked there and back.
Shout out to Linda who I met there, who may read here occasionally.

http://mail.google.com/mail/#i.....90debf8700

This is a cartoon, hope it opens…

Hi all - just in from GOTV final mtg before the vote - have to be at polling place at 6:30 AM.

Nice, Margot!
He was good from what I saw on the teevee.

nite neuro
best of luck

warm foot baths to the left
massage chairs to the right

we gotta keep our pups taken care of - thanks everyone for the gotv effort, showing up at speeches, doing the hard work.

thank you.

Hey Margot,
Just trying to keep cleansing breaths going! I didn’t go downtown last night to hear/see the Boss and OB, but I was there in spirit. Glad you saw Joe. My old Delaware friend, Joe Biden, often two shoes in mouth — I will always love him!

Here in Jeffco County our goal was to identify 150K Obama voters, We got 190K now to make sure they all make it to the polls

fresh threadiness upstairs

Wow, Dixville has always favored the Repugs…! Maybe it’ll be a Tsunami…! ;-)

Well, the only other time they voted for a Dem was Hubert Humphrey and that didn’t turn out very well. No matter since Obama’s gonna win big.

I worry that as Liberals we have a tendency to feel compassion for those having a hard time, and I can already detect a slight feeling of pity for St. John in myself. If that happens to anyone else tomorrow, please remember all the Death and Destruction these people have brought to the world. McInsane and many of his supporters are truly vile “people.”

For all those women, men, and babies needlessly murdered by these Neocons and their “Bomb, Bomb Iran” attitude, we must figuratively bury them and their policies once and for all. Yes, we f-ing can!

Never forget. Never.
