Can I watch any of the MSNBC shows from today without killing myself?

I record them and watch after work. I don't want to listen to anyone who buys into Mittmentum (which is bullshit invented by the Romney campaign so the media will say Mitt is winning!)

Last Word. When others are wigging out, Lawrence O'Donnell is pretty good at talking common sense.

Not too much mitt awe like we've been seeing and hearing from them. Seems that the MSNBC talking heads finally "got it" last night that lying strongly and convincingly doesn't a president make.

I am anxious about the election and my mom died 2 weeks ago. Just can't take stuff that will piss me off right now.

(She was a great, lifetime democrat. The next to the last check she wrote, days before she died, was $1,500 to Obama. She maintained that Romney would NEVER win. Great loss in my family, she was the last of her generation. We're on the front lines now.)

Elected.

she was 88 and went exactly how she would have wanted. Driving home from the grocery store she pulled over, called 9-11 and said she thought she was having a stroke. When the EMTs arrived, she talked them into taking her groceries home and putting them in her fridge. And the did.

Don't think she was scared or in pain. Went into a coma and died 2 days later. Was independent until the very end.

At my Dad's funeral, the priest included my observation that Dad was proud to be a "yellow dog Democrat" - and I am carrying on in his place - a toast to your Mom, thanks for sharing this - J

My mom's whole family were/are active Democrats. She finally converted my dad who became as liberal as all of us. When we were cleaning out her house she had a collection of Newsweek magazines (or Time?) All of them were about liberal politics, Kent State, Black Panthers, Hillary Clinton, etc. She had a Che poster in her house, and a Buffalo Springfield poster and a Jefferson Airplane poster in her living room. The posters were from when they appeared at the Filmore in San Francisco. She loved Janis Joplin and listened to her all the time. She also had an etched mirror in her living room that said "We do not extend credit to Republicans." She took us kids to all the civil rights and anti war demonstrations until we were old enough to go ourselves.
