3. All a very good thing :)

I want to see Obama and the Democrats win November 6th but I also want to see a huge landslide to bury these anti-American teahadist once and for all.

5. Getting rid of the right-wing is impossible...

...ignorance will exist so long as the human race does.

7. That's up almost a point from yesterday I think

Should be 80% by the end of the week.

10. Yes, I know I am a bit delusional on that line of thinking

but I do not know of anything else to do in order to get rid of these in-home terrorist other than to work as hard as I can in order to get as many Democrats voted into office.

8. So Where's the Romney Surge?

The Rethugs keep talking about it but I think they've been smoking too much ganja.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. They want to keep their people motivated to get out and vote.

If they admit the surge isn't happening, then their people won't get out and vote...

11. Is anyone else getting an advertisement blocking part of the 538 site?

There seems to be a big square ad right over the 538 numbers.

[Logical]

12. Yes, a few of us! Others are not. Weird!

13. I am. I can't see them. n/t

14. Just posted today's GOTV EV results from Nevada. Dem lead is accelerating.

Not sure if this is happening in other parts of the country, but here are the gains from this week:

Democratic two county leads
Monday = 850 votes
Tuesday = 2,500 votes
Wednesday = ~3,400 votes <here>

It's not hard to see the trend.
