its always the same spin....how barry has done this or that.....

you know, the rats have been registering blacks in "record"numbers for a generation now.....

they make up only 13% of the populace, probably only at most 6% of those that can vote.....

they're making up lies.....

I see the AP is up to its usual effort to dispirit and discourage Repubs.

You notice how they are quoting Political Science professors? Almost all Political Science Professors are liberal Democrats. They haven’t stopped to think that the extra registration and voting is an anti Obama effort.

An attempt to create a new Marxist/Leninist state is upon us. How will we react?

Middle America has woken up from their daily lives and are scared to death, same as in 1994.

The 200 year-old great experiment, the American Republic, to go out with a whimper, not a bang?

LOL, Associated (with the Committee to Elect Barack Hussein Obama) Press is giving their messiah credit for people in Utah registering to vote now.

But most others want pie too. I think the USA has gone majority communist. It took 30 years to get here. It would take 30 to get back. Not in my lifetime.

State Democratic Party Chairman Ivan Holmes is expecting a strong Obama turnout in urban areas, but he anticipates a backlash in some conservative areas where the candidate's race may be a factor — "especially among older voters."

Racism....blah, blah....racism....blah, blah.

I notice it's a "strong turnout" when the subject is Dems, but it's a "backlash" when Republicans are being discussed.

AP still feverishly working to push their hero across the finish line in first place.

OK, how do they have any idea how many of us are going to turn out 110 minutes before most polls even open (by my watch)? Do they mean to suggest that because I haven’t voted yet (can’t until about 8:30 unless I speed on my way home from work and then to the polls from home), I’m not turning out?

What is it with these people?

In some states close to 50% of the voters have already voted. And in those states Obama is leading. Sure he is, they’ve been hustling to get all their voters out early.

Okay, election day now looms, and Obama has shot his load. Guess what. It’s our turn.

Enjoy Obama, as the results of your nearly $1 billion dollar payout falls in on itself.

Whoa, this is more like it...

Taking everything on blind faith

This election will be remembered as the campaign that ignited a religious revival. Never have so many atheists, skeptics, agnostics, secularists, heretics, freethinkers and rationalists hit the sawdust trail to imbibe so much on blind faith, and to make it their religion. (snip) The Hyde Park messiah’s flock makes up a weird and unlikely congregation, ranging from the true believers on the left yearning for the Kool-Aid moment...

Bedamned to all trolls today, we meet at dawn!
Too many spilled their blood for this freedom.

1980 had a very high turnout.

I remember my mother saying "People turned out because they wannted Jimmy OUT."

Those would also be the states with over 100% of their population registered... not that anyone cares.

Nothing to see here. Check out the in-between stories that are going on via: http://www.lucianne.com/

This one was especially interesting:

Milwaukee Puts a Vote-Fraud
Cop Out of Business

Last week Mike Sandvick, head of the Milwaukee Police Department’s five-man Special Investigative Unit, was told by superiors not to send anyone to polling places on Election Day. He was also told his unit — which wrote the book on how fraud could subvert the vote in his hometown — would be disbanded. “We know what to look for,” he told me, “and that scares some people.” In disgust, Mr. Sandvick plans to retire.
