The polls are open on the east coast!!
From this morning's election day prayer thread:
"Heavenly Father may you forgive this nation and its people for the many awful sins that we have commited against you. We do not deserve the wonderful ways we have been blessed and please forgive us for our indifference,neglect and complacency towards you. May you forgive us who are members of your Church who have neglected our calling and commitment to you to be effective witnesses and stewards of the many blessings you have generously bestowed upon us. Many of us have cried out to you for the past few years as never before and we humbly beseech you to bring an overwhelming, crushing defeat on the forces of darkness in our nation. First we pray that you quicken your Church by your spirit and lead us to unity to stand against the onslaught of darkness upon us. May you smash every crooked deed as evil men and women try to hold onto power and may this be so convincing that everyone knows that your hand is in this. Then we may bring the light of your Gospel to our people who do not know you and to the nations of the world.
May you block and undo every policy and piece of legislation they have passed that is harmful to this nation. May you make every policy they make fail and may you turn the hearts of the multitudes against them. May you thwart every evil deed they try to divide this nation with. May you bring their own mischief upon them ten fold. May you punish those in our government who are lawless traitors and enemies of the Constitution by exposing them and deliver them into our hands for justice. However we also pray that through this that you open their eyes to the truth and in your mercy that you bring these people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to serve as a witness to many. May you also use this to bring revival across our nation and a restoration of a culture that glorifies You. We also pray for those just leaders in our government who are struggling against the lawless. We pray for your protection and that you embolden them to do what is right to triumph in the election and in the arena of ideas. May you also continue to open the hearts and minds of the American people to the the truth and draw them towards yourself to be renewed in repentance and spiritual rebirth.
And this we humbly ask in Jesus name. AMEN!"
Greece is indeed our future if Obama pulls this out.
Producers need to stop producing so that the government runs out of other peoples money sooner
One thing’s for sure: what little credibility Dick Morris had is shot. He’s completely washed up.
You know, I’ve been thinking about why Pennsylvania votes the way it does, and honestly, I think it has to do with familiarity more than anything. Voters here don’t seem to care what a candidate’s positions are as long as they know them.
Why did Tom Corbett win in 2010? Because he was so well-known throughout the state. Why will Bob Casey win? He comes from a famous family. Remember Jack Murtha? Same deal. Mark Critz, his former aide, is going to beat Keith Rothfus in my district, largely because people simply happen to know him.
It’s a childish worldview, but it is what it is. Logic left the gates here a long time ago.
FoxNews calls MO Senate race for McCaskill.
[Another pubbie shot himself in the foot to lose to a Dem.]
They just don’t get it!
Only Conservatives can move to Texas, though!
It’s not the candidate...it’s the mindset of so many of the people. These are not the kind of people, with the kinds of principles, in the kind of America I grew up in.
“Turn out so high in Iowa that some counties are running out of ballots.”
Apparently they have plenty of ballots in Chicago! They’re giving out two ballots to each person. Oh yes..and the election judge is wearing an Obama hat!

Thread II is worse. Swearing and bad tempers flailing badly.
Dick Morris’s constant flip-flopping on Twitter has completely convinced me that he has no particular insight into what’s going on any more than I do.
And so is Barone and Will and everyone else who predicted a blow out...right?
Hope you’re right. It wasn’t supposed to be this close. We’re getting our butts kicked outside of the close states, and especially in the Senate, so it’s clear that the pollsters weren’t that far off. I’d hate to see Nate Silver outperform Barone. It’s clear that far too many people want the government to take from those who earned it and give it to those who didn’t. I fear for my young children.
Rush (correctly) said that if Romney loses there would be an attempt on both sides to pin it on the other-—”too many moderates” vs. “not enough moderates.” I don’t know with Ryan how you can say he got more moderate. If anything, and I know a pretty influential conservative who agrees with me, Romney seemed to get more conservative as the campaign went on.
Well, you do the math - Romney obviously isn’t going to win by a landslide tonight.
We won’t do a damn thing.
FL is just too close...
I'm shocked to hear that. I don't have Cable TV or DirecTV anymore, all I have is whatever I can get over-the-air or stream off the net.
Right now I'm watching Fox News via a live stream on the net and I'm damn' sure glad I don't pay for it anymore. I swear, it's an apology-fest for Romney and they're fully in the tank for Obama!
WTF is with them "calling a state" as soon as the polls close?! WORST election I've ever seen on ANY network and I'm at the point I'm going to say "screw it!" and go to bed. Less frustrating, and I can hear who wins in the morning.
I swear to Almighty God though, FOX NEWS SUCKS ASS!!! Their coverage is absolutely AWFUL.
I love that portion of this country's population that is worthy and pity the rest. I agree that we are turning into Greece. Bring it on. The only roads that lead to a good future lead through a meltdown that destroys people faith in this status quo system. We need to prepare for that day and not try to prop up the system. Its beyond proping
I fear for our young and for our old. We haven’t lost yet, though!
I always wanted to go see Greece. Now it comes to me!
