REPOST FROM DOWNSTAIRS on what “bankrupting the coal industry would do, why it’s bad, and why you should care”!
The coal issue is simple.
50% of all electricity in the US is generated by COAL PlANTS http://www.ors2.state.sc.us/abstract/chapter9/energy_g1.php . Another 20% is generated by nuclear. So if BO taxes the coal industry into oblivion (which is what his statement means), this will not only take out the coal industry which is a BILLION dollar industry (that means jobs and businesses go POOF!), it also means there is no viable way for us to reproduce the energy that will be lost.
Further, our next TWO by percentages generation sources are: Nuclear (which BO has pledged to not grow AT ALL until “we find ways to deal with the waste”) and Natural Gas, which is actually far MORE “dirty” than coal but has no viable means of increasing output in the short term.
THAT MEANS that if he bankrupts the coal industry, YOU WILL BE SITTING IN THE DARK AND THE COLD because there will be rolling black-outs and in many areas NO electricity.
THAT’S why this is important!
And don’t just “understand” this, SPREAD THE WORD! It’s crucial.
(I believe his ultimate plan is to raise our energy bills so high–”skyrocket them” as he says in that video to the point that our economy collapses (that was, after all, the STATED GOAL of the Alinsky-Ayers connection). This would bring about a severe depression if not a complete collapse of our system. Think $1,000 for a loaf of bread. Remember what prices of EVERYTHING did when gas went up over the summer? Yeah, like that–except much deeper and wider.)
Hope that answers your question.

I miss Hillary. I want Hillary to be FREE to be who she really is. I want the inner Hillary to shout out and say I am Hillary and we must join together for this purpose. I want to go to a Hillary rally and shout out my support. I want to be gathered with all who love Hillary as much as I do.
Hillary remember this election is all about you. We are all here fighting for you and for all women. We are fighting for the little girls in the maternity ward. We are fighting for those little girls as they go to kindergarden. We are fighting for our teenagers as they graduate from high school and we are fighting for our daughters to graduate from college. We are fighting for all women. Together we shall tell the world. It is only one day to 2012.
When I mark my ballot today I will be thinking of you. I will be voting for you. My mark on the paper will be for McCain but my heart will be voting for you.

Anectdotal observation: HEAVY 6:00 AM turnout in Newtown, CT. No problems whatsoever — in and out in twenty minutes.
A number of people carrying their ballots to the electronic tallying machine didn’t bother to turn them upside down or place them in the manilla file folder:

I’m up early here west coast time 420am. Working the polls today at 6am. There will be no cheating-a go-go at my polling place. Below is a McCain # to call if you witness any irregularities.
The McCain-Palin campaign launched the Honest and Open Election hotline to help citizens learn the location of their polling place, as well as report any instances of irregularities at the polls, including voter fraud, intimidation, violence and electioneering. The hotline can be accessed via phone at:

Thank you Murphy for today’s quote. It’s 4:43 in CA and I couldn’t sleep.
Hillary’s quote brought tears to my eyes. I remember watching her, glued to the couch, feeling lost, baffled, angry. . she was so inspirational, so . . . oh well. Can’t think. Crying again! I HAVE TO BELIEVE, truth will prevail, and we will someday look back at this period of history, and we (PUMAS) will ALL say, “Wow, I was a part of this, and I am so proud that I DID MAKE A MARK IN HERstory!

Good morning, my fellow great Americans.
Today is the day we shape our destiny. Thanks in no small measure to your commitment, organization, dedication and downright infectious optimism, I am facing this day with confidence.
For that I thank you.
I had to register to comment here as we move into the final hours of this momentous election cycle. I’m a long-time conservative female, and the discovery of your organization has been a GODSEND for me these last few weeks.
I have already learned much from you about the spirit of cooperation and how to become a force for change…GOOD change with a clear direction and goal.
In my conversations with others in recent days, I have told EVERYONE about PUMAPAC – and without exception, the news of who you are, what you stand for, and what you are working to accomplish has brought sorely needed hope and encouragement to those who have all relied on the MSM for their election coverage.
I could go on and on, but will close with this:
Do not worry about whether the Rep’s will get out to vote. They will. We are not used to being as politically active as you are (but that is changing…and I look forward to working alongside you to do all we can to eliminate the corruption and bias we have all been shocked to witness), but we ARE galvanized to prevent the handover of our nation to those who at their core hate all for which it stands.
Once again – my heartfelt gratitude cannot be measured.

Good morning PUMA’S, it’s 7:00 a.m.
I like the idea of a clean environment, so why are we not against the coal issue——–of is it just the flip flopping that bothers us.
Can someone explain in “dumb” language on this to me???//
======
There are degrees of clean. Some methods of processing and burning coal and capturing the gasses cut the environmental impact quite a bit; this is called “clean coal”.
Coal happens to be very abundant and cheap, and will necessarily be used in some way till a major change in energy technology occurs.
____
Just to let you know, I happen to believe that a little research company called Lawrenceville Plasma Physics in NJ has a workable basic design oaf a radiation waste-free generator which could start production in less than a decade. It will provide electricity at ¼¢ per KWH, which is probably about 1/20th of what you pay now. This will rather quickly end use of coal and oil and natural gas as generating methods, and even hydro power will go. They’re all vastly more expensive to build and run.

Beautiful post, Murphy.
Whew, been up since 4. My heart is pounding!! Whew, whew, whew.
Gotta repeat the quote of the day:
“My mother was born before women could vote. But in this election my daughter got to vote for her mother for President. This is the story of America. Of women and men who defy the odds and never give up. How do we give this country back to them? By following the example of a brave New Yorker , a woman who risked her life to shepherd slaves along the Underground Railroad. And on that path to freedom, Harriett Tubman had one piece of advice. If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If they’re shouting after you, keep going. Don’t ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going. Even in the darkest of moments, ordinary Americans have found the faith to keep going.” — Hillary Clinton, 8/26/08. Denver CO

Sorry I have not been around. My daughter got married on Saturday and it has been very hectic around my house. It was BEAUTIFUL though and turned out fantastic. I still have my new son-in-laws family here. They are from France and Spain. Of course, they favor Obama. I am glad they can’t vote! But they do respect my feelings about voting for McCain/Palin.
I am going to vote before lunch….hopefully the lines are shorter then.
I have MISSED YOU ALL!! I haven’t had a chance to get online much these last 2 weeks but I am getting out the vote!

Good Morning Pumas.
I live in a very small town in NJ. Heavy Republican. As usual we were the first in line to vote day. At this time in the morning, normally there are only 2 or 3 other people waiting to vote. But not today. There were 39 in line. Now that may not sound like a lot, but it’s unbelievable for this small town. I’m jazzed. We are going to win.

McCain sues to force Va. to count military ballots
By BOB LEWIS, Associated Press Writer – Mon Nov 3, 5:58 pm ET
in
RICHMOND, Va. – Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign sued the Virginia election board Monday, claiming absentee ballots weren’t mailed on time to military members serving overseas.
The complaint asks the U.S. District Court in Richmond to order the state to count absentee ballots postmarked by Tuesday and received by Nov. 14. It contends that thousands of troops’ ballots — many of which would go to McCain — will not be counted.
The deadline for ballots to be received is 7 p.m. Election Day, which is Tuesday.

Hello, Pumas,
Well, I am happy to report that I just voted here in Philadelphia. I was surrounded by Obamabots, but I cast my vote for McCain/Palin. I was so happy to do it. The voting place seemed well supervised, fair, and working smoothly. Thank you PUMAs for your courage, vision, and commitment. You have been an oasis and a refuge from the psychosis sweeping our country. I know that many consider us the crazy ones, but remember, those who are on the lunatic fringe are the true visionaries.

Today here in NE Ohio the sun is shining and it will be a nice 65 outside. I remember the primaries, we had the worst ice storm ever! We slid to the voting location to vote for Hillary. Our counties results were late coming in due to weather and loss of power at the board of elections. It was also horrible in cuyahoga county. Judges were ordering polling locations to stay open due to weather. News stations showed them all closed, people couldn’t vote.
This year I’m going straight to vote before I go to work. Like they say in Ohio, if you don’t like the weather, wait a few minutes it will change. OH, is that the change we’re looking for?
This post makes no sense but I approve it’s content!

Heneri 11.04.08 at 8:09 am
Last night I finally convinced my one remaining hold out sibling to vote McCain. This was a victory that I was not sure would come. I learned something in my discussions with him that I would like to share.
I first started out by telling him about all of the bad things I know about The Democratic Nominee. I gave him a long tutorial on communism, both Mao and Marx. I sent him all kinds of links and articles to back up my dislike. At some point I had convinced him that Obama is a REALLY bad guy. That was not enough. He is very concerned about the economy. He works as a foreman in an electronics component assembly plant, and sees the forces of a bad economy every day.
Since I am a real estate appraiser with more than 20 years experience, he does trust me somewhat on economic issues. What he needed to hear from me was something good about McCain. Since I am well versed on real estate and banking issues, I had an opening to give him useful information. I told him about McCain’s attempts to reign in the mortgage industry several years before the bubble burst. I also told him of the complicency of the democrats in setting the nation up for the fall.
That still was not good enough. He had to know something good about Palin. If he was going to vote against his traditional democratic vote he needed something positive that he could justify it with. I sent him an article about Palin’s work on the pipeline project in Alaska and her taking out the members of her own party that she had found were less than honest in the gas and oil regulatory agency.
I concluded that he knew Obama was bad, but had not really considered how bad. At the same time, he needed a POSITIVE reason to vote for McCain!
Sometimes I think the positives just come off as party rhetoric which is easily parroted without much mind involvement. We can’t let that happen. We have to convince people with real talk, not rhetoric. We have to find a way to make them see that we are not just mindless zombies spewing the party line. Since we have no current party affiliation, we need to play on that. Since many of us are long term democrats, we need to play on that too. AND we have to have some strong positives about the McCain-Palin team. I think it is the positives that make people vote, not always the negatives on the other guy.
There was a line from an old Carpenters song that went….
‘Still I look to find a reason to believe….’
slyt2 11.04.08 at 8:09 am
ON fox and friends Brian, Gretchen and Steve were talking to Brian Wilson about his time going from state to state (at diners) and he said it again he said he just didn’t feel the polls were right , the panel said you are not the only one who feels that way and Brian just said I have a sense or had a sense the polls just weren’t right (in BO’s favor) YES I got a really good feeling.. It’s like a tingle up my leg…lol…

I’m feeling down today PUMAs- so I’m here for a pick-me-up. Was listening to the radio on the way in to work and heard people brow-beating someone who dared to question Nobama. Shouting match and all.
What has happened to my country? No matter how much I dislike Bush, I’m not simply going to pick an empty suit without doing any research because he “represents change,” whatever the hell that means. I’m a young voter, and I just can’t get over how little my contemporaries have researched this fool. They don’t know a damn thing about the world, and don’t know that Obama equals higher prices and layoffs. How stupid and lazy is my generation? Oh wait, asking that makes me racist. I just want to crawl up in a ball somewhere.

turndownobama 11.04.08 at 8:13 am
michellina and brian,
I don’t have time to really sort this out, but perhaps most Obama’s statement/s on coal can be found here:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/11/republicans-to.html
Tapper quotes more of Obama’s statement/s on coal — but not all, as more is quoted in the comments.
A comment at the Tapper article links to the following sfgate site also; probaably too old to comment on, but good info:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/month?blogid=42&year=2008&month=01
Scroll down, 2nd article. First recording at about 23:20 is when he is asked about coal.
Personally, as a latte tree-hugger, I like one point Obama made about setting standards and then letting the various industries try to meet them with whatever new technologies can be developed — instead of right now guessing which industries to back. Some of his statements do sound too sudden and harsh.
My main problem with Obama on many issues is that I simply don’t trust him to actually do, or do a good job, with what he claims to support. He will say anything to anyone to get power. Once in, he will serve whoever helps him get more power; so far he has ACTED on the side of big business and pollution. He will be like a placebo to the progressives, keeping some REAL progressive from getting elected now or later — or even some moderate like McCain or Palin who would really get SOMETHING done against pollution.
As for pushing the coal issue today, it’s something I want the coal supporters to know about so they can vote agaisnt Obama. Later I might support an honest decent candidate who had similar, though milder and more realistic, views. I think McCain is sincere about environment and will work for it in a realistic way.
elect2009 11.04.08 at 8:13 am
Listen to those of you “feeling down” – listen up … please.
I made calls for McCain/Palin yesterday and I gotta say that there was ONLY ONE person that was semi rude. The rest either weren’t home OR had voted for McCain OR were going today! I called in FL and also CO.
CommomSense12 11.04.08 at 8:14 am
My Dear Great PUMA friends,
The below is running right now in the WASHINGTON TIMES, a great newspaper who is willing to listen to all AMERICANS. I hope this address works.
If you have a problem, I will post my piece below.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/04/joe-plumber-says-mccains-chances-slim/#comments
My posting: It follows a nice short write-up re Joe The Plumber…
Yes, Joe. It will be “tight, but John McCain has a chance. Let me remind all voters of the below critical information.
On the road to National Bankruptcy? Read on please.
The Obama “Con” continues; but now it is worse. “Lies” are now creeping in.
This man’s rhetoric is coming through with the delivery and resonant baritone rhetoric of a Billy Graham, but Mr. Obama is no Billy Graham.
Barack Obama’s comments are beyond the “con”… .They are now downright lies….. He continues to give us these untruths, and he knows they are untrue. According to Webster’s Dictionary a deliberate untruth is a “lie”.
I refer here to Mr. Obama’s recent acceptance speech on August 28th before 80,000 people in the Mile High Stadium in Denver, and there was an additional estimated 38 million viewers on TV, as he spoke between these two large grey styrofoam columns that came from “central staging” someplace.
Read through please. He is saying he will deliver – if elected ALL the following items of (A) through (G), and I am quoting him exactly, and he will do it all for us FOR FREE. Yes…. “FREE”. Read paragraph (H), again all in his quotes. Paragraph (H) “Many of these plans will cost money, which is why I’ve laid out how I’ll pay for every dime — by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don’t help America grow”.
Budget experts are estimating what Mr. Obama wants do would cost somewhere between $2.5 Trillion to $3.0 Trillion dollars. For him to tell the nation with a straight face, and I quote: “I’ll pay for every dime — by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don’t help America grow”, would be the biggest fraud perpetuated on the American people in the history of this nation which started some 225 years ago.
Ladies and Gentlemen of America. That is impossible. He knows it… and I hope all Americans know it and are listening. If America is not listening, if Mr. Obama were to squeak into the office of the Presidency, we will most likely find we are on the same road as Argentina and Iceland to a form of national bankruptcy. And then forget about jobs and the economy. Our currency would be “revalued” or rather downgraded, banks would be defaulting, and that would just be the start.
In support of McCain/Palin…..On November 4th, Election Day, I will join millions of fellow Americans in “splitting” my vote. For President and Vice President, I will be voting for John McCain, and Sarah Palin. For congressional contests, both at the national level, and the state level, I will be voting for the Democratic Party nominee. I am a strong supporter of the principals of the Democratic Party. We must continue to build up the strength of the Democratic majority in both the U.S. Senate, and House of Representatives.
Shane 11.04.08 at 8:16 am

Do you remember the title of the article? One good one was in USA Today: “Palin governs from the center.” This showed her focusing on financial and energy issues, ignoring social issues, so as not to offend Democrats.

A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 7:46 AM
GOP Election Board members have been have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.
A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their “minority” status as cause.
It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.
Those on site as describing it as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

Just had a conversation with my daughter who lives in Wisconsin. She’s 30 years old and in July she attained her lifetime goal of being an ER Physician. She told me she’s voting for McCain today! I asked her why, because I wanted to find out what she was thinking. She told me because she does’t want to pay more taxes! She worked long and hard to get to work in her profession and now she is finally getting paid for working 10 to 12 hour stressful days. Does she want to give more than half of what she makes to a wasteful government? NO! Today was an affirmation that I raised a smart Independant Woman!

We vote at a church in our community here in GA. I normally can just stop by on my way to work and vote, no problem. Usually no more than 20 cars in the lot. This morning both parking lots were full, people parking in a field, and parking all along the road. Sure glad I voted early!
My wife drove by the polling place in a neighboring community and she reports the same thing, overflowing parking lots and long lines running out the door.
I feel soooo pumped up to see that turnout! Looks like all my “bitter clinger” neighbors are showing up in mass!

The Polling Place was busier than 2004. I was voter 76 in 2004 and voter 79 here in 2008. I was in line 1/2 hour early and was out by 7:30 am.
There was NOBODY with OBAMA signs standing around the polling place…
I would dearly love to have Michigan slip the HAND out of the MITTEN to give Obama the FINGER.
A McCain/Palin win here would be so sweet.

Star Spangled Banner By Francis Scott Key 1814
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Quotes From Murphy – These words were said along time ago , but they resonate TODAY . No one says it better :
“The Democratic party is a poorer institution today. Hillary was a candidate for the ages, historic by her very presence in the race. She inspired millions with her grace under pressure, her command of the issues and challenges facing our country, her practical competence, her warmth, and her class.
No candidate for president should ever have to face what she faced in order to get to this place in the nomination process. No popular two-term US senator should ever be required to justify or defend his or her presence in a presidential race. No distinguished and admired American, one who represents the hopes and dreams of millions of other Americans, should ever be expected to be ashamed of him or herself for running for office, for competing strenuously, and for challenging their opponent vigorously. No former First Lady, whatever her party affiliation, personal style, or opinions, should ever be treated with scorn, disrespect, or rhetorical violence by the public institutions of American life — our media, our political parties, and our elected and appointed officials. TODAY is a shameful day for them.”
“But our new work is just beginning. We now have a duty to ourselves, our candidate, our party, and our country to make those institutions accountable for their actions. Pumas, this is not the end for us — it is only the beginning.”
“WE WILL BE PROTESTING THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
We will not support or vote for an illegitimate nominee. We will not be bullied, pandered to, sweet-talked, or manipulated. We will not succumb to appeals to our better natures, to our identities as democrats, as uniters, as healers, or as helpers.
WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE”
WOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from voting here in Broward county, FL. Long lines but everybody was quiet – no drama, more like tension. Voted straight Rep even for Sheriff. Wasserman-Schultz was on the ballot. I did not vote against her because she was a strong advocate for Senator Clinton but I did not vote for her so I left it blank. When I was done I went back and brightened the circle for Senator McCain/Gov Palin – just to make sure.

felt compelled to do something honorable and admit she is totally
innocent of all doings on the one and only negative thing they could ever find about her, amazing isnt it. I guess they feel like they have already damaged her enough and they now feel safe to acknowledge even that one single thing was indeed unfounded. My my,

Good Morning PUMAS!
Today is going to be a great day for us. We, the people, will finally have our say about this sham of an election. My family and I have already voted and it felt alright. It is not as much for voting Republican as it is for keeping Obama out! Good luck to everyone today!
P.S. Be sure and remember to look at the paper tape when you are voting. I looked at the paper tape before confirming my votes. I heard some reports during the early voting period that the paper was printing different from the votes that were being cast. Good luck to you all!
P.S.S. Just to let you know, when I was on my way into the office, there were long lines at the polls. Looks very good for McCain here!

America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee)
Text: Samuel F. Smith, 1808-1895
1. My country,’ tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims’ pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring!
2. My native country, thee,
land of the noble free, thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills, like that above.
3. Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees sweet freedom’s song;
let mortal tongues awake;
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.
4. Our fathers’ God, to thee,
author of liberty, to thee we sing;
long may our land be bright
with freedom’s holy light;
protect us by thy might, great God, our King.

Good Morning, everyone.
I just came on a few minutes ago and resolved not to turn on the TV as I want to remain as calm as possible today. I already sent off the Email to Erin Davisson, somewhat late as I see you started it last night. But then, that might be good because it will spread it out a little and possibly be more effective.
ONEOFAMILLION put me in tears with her song , so early in the morning. (It’s only seven here.)

Report from Obama territory. Just voted Republican when I could. I have always voted Democrat and had never noticed how few choices Republicans have in our county.
Lines longer than usual, poll workers a bit slow and obviously not used to long lines, but checking very careful. Felt confident that my Obot husband could not have voted twice.
Felt good and now ready for November 5th. No matter how this turns out, we have our work cut out for us. Fear corruption runs deep in both parties. I just wasn’t paying enough attention before. Thanks to Hillary (and the internet), I am now paying attention!

Duty done at 8:33 Eastern.
I’ve voted in every Presidential election since 1984 and I never in a million years thought that the proudest vote I’d ever cast would be for a Republican ticket.
While I’m proud right now, I also have to say, emotionally I’m whipped. Today this entire endless election cycle has hit me all at once like a ton of bricks. I’m just in suspended animation from now until this is all over. There’s a lot more work to do no matter what the result today…but I’m taking 24 hours off emotionally right now.
I held my finger on that McCain/Palin lever for a full minute while I said a prayer.
God Bless America and God Bless you PUMAs, every one of you!

I walked in with a clipboard…at the precinct I worked at during Hillary. They sure knew who I was…lol…They immediatly started measuring the “chute” and made the people handing out brocures back up 50 feet behind the entrance! I told them I already had legal on the phone, and that they would be seriously watched today, because of what went on in the primary. I told them I would be back!!
today is OUR DAY…BE BRAVE…BE AGRESSIVE…NO FEAR…WE ARE THE ONES NO ONE EXPECTED.

My brother’s brother-in-law and his wife are both voting McCain in Illinois.
Unfortunately my brother’s father-in-law voted Obama in Florida, but the good news is that his wife, who normally votes along the same lines, is simply not voting.

A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 7:46 AM
GOP Election Board members have been have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.
A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their “minority” status as cause.
It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.
Those on site as describing it as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

The traffic was heavy getting into polling place, little town in Norfolk County. The workers were saying it was very busy!!!! Which I could tell. I have never waited to vote.

A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their “minority” status as cause.
It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.
Those on site as describing it as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

In addition to trying to reform the democratic party, I think as PUMAs we should make a concerted effort to free the press – a free media is often the court of last resort in a democratic society. We should make this part of our agenda, since no one else will do it. Right now, I’m watching HGTV, the only TV station I can stomach. It shouldn’t be this way; the fact that it is shows a deep failure in our society.

I can see my polling site from my bedroom window and the line is already down the block. Gonna finish cleaning my house and then head out, with my book, cell phone, and soda in hand. If the line gets any longer, I may have to pack a lunch too! I don’t care if I have to wait 5 hours, I WILL vote!!!

#9- actually if it wasn’t for the Electoral College we in Wisconsin would have NO SAY. The East Coast would vote, and their heavily populated states would decide the election; and we would have no say at all. That is THE reason that the Elector College is there… so that the states with smaller populations have a say and it isn’t all decided by the mega states such as NY and CA.

Good Morning PUMAs! This is my very first post but you are my heroes and this site is where I get energized and feel unified in spirit. You have been shining the light on the truth, and I have been encouraging people to come and join in here, if only to lurk and read in-depth on issues that the MSM has only covered in sound-bites, if at all, so they can share the truth with others. I switched off Faux News about 20 minutes into O’Reilly and came here to draw a breath of fresh air last night before heading to bed.
We would have had a historic, healing election year had both parties nominated the persons that won fair and square. Following an election informed by great debates of the issues, I know that we would have a president-elect with the readiness, gravitas and spirit of public service that would have united this country. However, we have what we have, and there is still a chance to vote to preserve our nation and all the reasons that people still refer to America as the shining city on a hill.
Going down to exercise my precious and hard-won right, keeping all those iron-jawed angels in mind all the way.
So, GO MCCAIN/PALIN AND GOOOOOOOO PUMAS!!!!!!!!!

DIXVILLE NOTCH, N.H. (AP) – Barack Obama came up a big winner in the presidential race in Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location, N.H., where tradition of having the first Election Day ballots tallied lives on.
Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement in Tuesday’s first minutes. The town of Hart’s Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul. Independent Ralph Nader was on both towns’ ballots but got no votes.
“I’m not going to say I wasn’t surprised,” said Obama supporter Tanner Nelson Tillotson, whose name was drawn from a bowl to make him Dixville Notch’s first voter.
With 115 residents between them, Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location get every eligible voter to the polls beginning at midnight on Election Day. Between them, the towns have been enjoying their first-vote status since 1948.
Being first means something to residents of the Granite State, home of the nation’s earliest presidential primary and the central focus—however briefly—of the vote-watching nation’s attention every four years.
Town Clerk Rick Erwin said Dixville Notch is proud of its tradition, but added, “The most important thing is that we exemplify a 100 percent vote.”
Dixville Notch resident Peter Johnson said the early bird electoral exercise “is fun.” A former naval aviator, Johnson said he was voting for McCain, but added, “I think both candidates are excellent people.”
Voting was carried out in a room in a local hotel festooned with political memorabilia from campaigns long past. Each voter gets an individual booth so there are no lines at the magic hour. The votes were quickly counted, announced and recorded on a posterboard that proclaims, “First in the Nation, Dixville Notch.”
The tradition drew spectators, including Tim McKenna, who drove with his wife 16 miles from Cambridge, N.H., to witness the event.
“Living in New Hampshire, you hear so much about it in the news,” said McKenna. “I think it’s a very historic election this year.”
Ed Butler, a Democratic state representative who runs the Notchland Inn in Hart’s Location, said, “Being this small and being able to be first just makes it that much more special.”
Although scores of states have voted early, the two villages are the first to officially announce the results on Election Day.
New Hampshire law requires polls to open at 11 a.m., but that doesn’t stop towns from opening earlier. It also allows towns to close their polls once all registered and eligible voters have cast ballots.
Hart’s Location started opening its polls early in 1948, the year Harry S. Truman beat Thomas Dewey, to accommodate railroad workers who had to get to work early. Hart’s Location got out of the early voting business in 1964 after some residents grew weary of all the publicity, but brought it back in 1996.
Dixville Notch, nestled in a mountain pass 1,800 feet up and about halfway between the White Mountain National Forest and the Canadian border, followed suit in 1960, when John F. Kennedy beat Richard M. Nixon. Nixon, the Republican, swept all nine votes cast in Dixville that year, and before Tuesday, the town had gone for a Democrat only once since then. That was in 1968, when the tally was Democrat Hubert Humphrey eight, Nixon four.

voted early in morris county 6am was packed at that time, I was # 40. good for mccain. I think mccain will pull it out. lots of undecided voters going mccains way. lets go mccain.
———————–
Yep, only took about 5 minutes
but traffic was steady at the polling place. The only thing I noticed that was unusual, was the fairly high number of black voters casting ballots at my precinct, and I live in a very conservative township in Ocean County.

Lines already! Obamamania!
There is a huge crush of voters eager to vote for Obama in Cherry Hill . . . lines of voters out the door and people waiting in their cars . . .
NJ is OBAMALAND!

County leans 80/20 GOP to Democrat.Republicans are not vocal nor do they receive any positive attention from the press. We just show up en mass when called.Patriots lined up before 6 and waited over 2 hours to vote for McCain.This is a county where my longest wait prior to today was less than 5 minutes.Volunteers patrolling parking lots documenting suspicious vehicles (ACORN, etc).
No one who does not belong in hoagieville will be admitted.

For those who believe in this type of thing… at our polling place, they had 6 machines (small district). Husband called at 7, there was mass confusion. Only 2 machines working. Took him about 40 minutes to vote. When I got there, still only 2 machines working. So I bowed my head, and told Satan to SCRAM from the premises by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Within three minutes, the line started moving fluidly. Within another six to eight minutes I had voted.
For those who believe in the spiritual realm, concentrate some of your prayers today to casting evil away from the polling places and letting God’s Grace quell the confusion so that all can vote and that all votes are counted in fairness and honesty.
God bless America!

Hillary supporters from New York – please get out and vote today.
The media and tv talking heads believe Obama has N.Y. in his pocket because it is such a blue state.

So, get out and give your vote to McCain/Palin.

2.) A rumor has been circulating about Virginia’s absentee ballots not being counted if one candidate is winning the election by a large margin.
This rumor is false.
More information

Reminder to PUMA nation, esp. FLA PUMAS:
The State of FL spans two time zones. The panhandle west of the Apalachicola River is on Central Time. The rest of the state is on ET. I’ve already noticed the NYT stating that we close at 7PM. DUH! Don’t they remember 2000 when FL was called while the polls were still open? Eglin AFB and Pensacola NAS are in that zone. Gee, I wonder who will win that part of the state? Many military vets! Their polls close at 7PM CT (8PM ET). Always overlooked and under polled.
But, hey, what do I know?
sheila7 11.04.08 at 9:35 am
PUMAS!
I voted and wow did it feel good! NOBAMA! NO WAY! NO HOW!
I also voted against the Carnahan’s here in Missouri, major OBOTS and that felt great too. I need to run but stay strong today my fellow pumas, we will prevail. PENNSYLVANIA and OHIO, get out there and vote! We are the ones they weren’t expecting!
TXRepGirl 11.04.08 at 9:36 am
One more thing. They moved our polling place to a BIGGER BUILDING. Last two elections (presidential), I went in, gave them my name, went to one of the three booths that were open, voted and left. This morning (heavily Repub area–third most Repub by population in the country) even after they fixed the machines, there was a LINE through the room, snaked back around, through the kitchen, and snaked back around. LOTS of people voting. Far more than I have EVER seen.
Also, I talked to a friend of mine who voted early. She waited in line over 40 minutes IN EARLY VOTING. Lots of people voting.
Go McCain/Palin!
God bless America!
NewOrleansPuma 11.04.08 at 9:36 am
I am going to Hillary’s Senate site to tell her I just voted for John McCain…and why…I have communicated a number of times there and want to finish up my conversation…

Sylt2…wait for GH and move away from that news channel!
Pumas you want any peace of mind you will NOT watch those poll results throughout the day. Alernatives:
1. Go VOTE!
2. Read a book.
3. Play soothing music.
4. Hum “I Am PUMA.”
5. GO to work.
6. Go to the mall and buy yourself something nice.
7. Call a family member or friend and don’t discuss politics.
8. Take your grandchild for a walk.
9. Clean out your refrigerator.
10. Compose your favorite Puma moment for posting later.
11. Go to You Tube and watch all our great videos.
12. Write your thank you notes to Murphy our great leader.
13. Do anything besides sit and listen to or watch the T.V.
Come on PUMAs we are intelligent and resourceful. Do NOT torture yourself with all the fake reporting throughout the day.
Most of all,think positive and think McCain/Palin’s VICTORY!

A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 7:46 AM
GOP Election Board members have been have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.
A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their “minority” status as cause.
It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.
Those on site as describing it as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

For the Foreign Press :
Democrats Attempting to prevent US Military members from voting – McCain sues !
“Because many counties in Virginia failed to mail absentee ballots in time to our men and women in uniform stationed overseas, service members are being disenfranchised because they are unable to return their ballots before the November 4 deadline,” campaign spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said in a written statement about the suit, which is scheduled to be heard in Williams’ courtroom at 1:30 p.m. today

Rancho #15:
You can already say you are a part of history and you have made a difference — you are PUNA. Look at all that has been accomplished since BO came on the scene. how much more is known of him, and how many voters have been turned from him. I am grateful to Hillary for all she did for the US and for women in the US and history will remember her despite the despicable roll-call fiasco and the stealing of the nomination.
By the way, I too am in CA and have been up since 4:00 when my dogs decided they needed to go romp in the rain and come back like little sponges dripping with water. The rain felt appropriate and my few remaining wild flowers need the water.
Cheer up = it ain’t over yet.
TXRepGirl 11.04.08 at 9:47 am
kevink #35. For what it’s worth now, we have to understand that they shout us down because they have no other argument. If they could explain why O is better in civil language, they would, but they can’t. So when we ask a question, their only option is to go on the attack.
That’s why I love PUMAs so much! They speak out without fear. They get the message out.
Love to the PUMAs!
OH, and just to rememeber, history WILL be made today… a WOMAN will become Vice President of the United States for the first time!

Good morning hard working PUMAs. The big day has come. Please take care of your selves. Worrying will not help anything. Today could have a great out come for us. But if BO wins it is not the end of the world. We are all used to thinking our President doesn’t think straight, doesn’t listen to anyone and works for the wrong people. If BO gets in it is just more of the same and that makes it time for us to start on our next round of important business.
You know that $200 million BO got in contributions that are not traceable? Well we will never know who it came from but you can be sure BO does know where he got it and that is who he and the other evil Dems will be working for, not us.

This is a very Dem neighborhood. BUT, the good news is the people in line were talking and they were all voting McCain, saying the other one is tooooo radical… I have such hope for Pres. McCain!

TXRepGirl 11.04.08 at 10:09 am
I thought I would mention, I got to thinking about someone’s post last night about Repubs not wanting to vote McCain because he would cut pork… Uh, I don’t know if you know this, but that’s why we lost the House/Senate in ’06. Because Repubs were freakin’ SICK & TIRED of the Repubs spending and spending and spending. Earmarks were the NUMBER ONE thing I heard about for months before that vote. Everyone was angry, and the feeling was, “Vote them suckers out of office!”
It’s the anger I hear in your voices now.
Repubs are NOT for wasteful spending, even if we’ve somehow been cast that way. Also, it is a complete myth that true Repubs (you know, the PUMA kind) do not want to help the poor. We just do not believe that should be the GOVERNMENT’S role.
Actually, to be honest, I think that there are more Repubs who are FAR closer to PUMAs than the Repub party. I know I am!

I’m glad you brought this up. This is the most alarming thing for me among so many alarming things about this shmendrick… Obama really wants to actively ignore the Constitution as a matter of policy.
When he says he wants to “fundamentally change” the country, I believe him. We would not recognize the country after an Obama presidency, and not in a good way. It may be damaged beyond repair.

Where I do see problems would be in Miami where I’m originally from, dead people voting all the time and now with ACORN, no telling.

Sorry for the language, but what do you expect from an international Obot…
fuck your POV proud and veteran-fight-for-our-country- support-our-troops BULLSHIT. you dont even realize what you do to the world you stupid fuck. your one sided media gives you the idea of an america that doesnt exist. you killed 2 million people in vietnam and one million in iraq. your government tells you is was for “freedom and democracy”.& its so typical that you praise john mccain for his stupidity of “fighting for his country” while you dont give a flying shitstain about the real victims
Amazing. One thing we as Americans know is that we may make mistakes, but we do NOT sit on the sidelines. Our men and women serve proudly around the globe, regardless of the people who would not even have a country if it were not for us. What amazes me even more is that this type of language is supposed to “inspire me” to vote the way they want me to. They must be crazy!

I know how you feel TXRepGirl ..In 2006 I did not vote against the war…My vote was against the Republicans out of control spending. They had two years to get the warning message and clean up their act. If I wasn’t so blooming scared of what the other option was..I still wouldn’t vote for McCain or any other Republican on the ticket!
I did not agree with the war..but we are there now and I for one will never shame our military people. The job needs finished! They are winning..more and more areas are being turned over to the people of that country. Notice how the ‘GOOD news’ is never reported?
The media said then that the Republicans lost control because of the war…not to the people I talk to …it was wasteful spending and pork! The arrogance of not listening to their base. The very thing that the PUMA’s are dealing with

Hi all.
I’m a hugh football fan and McCain and Obama were on at half-time last night.
Answers to some questions they were asked
Both candidates were asked to name one thing they would change in sports.
“I think it is about time that we had playoffs in college football. I’m fed up with these computer rankings and this and that and the other,” Obama said.
McCain said he would “take significant action to prevent the spread and use of performance-enhancing substances…..
Asked what was the best piece of advice he had received from the sports world, Obama said his high school basketball coach, when the young Obama rebelled against him, said, “‘Look, this is not about you, this is about the team.’ It took me awhile to understand … but that’s how I’ve approached the work I’ve done in politics since. If you stay focused outside yourself, you end up doing a better job.”
In answer to the same question, McCain said he drew a lesson from a high school coach who also was a literature teacher.
“The guy was my inspiration then and is my inspiration to this day,” McCain said. “The lesson he taught me was you always have to do the honorable thing, even if no one knows, because you’ll know.”
The following are my thoughts. McCain is concerned about drugs – Obama about a playoff system. Winnner McCain
McCain wants to do the honorable thing. Obama says it is about the team – Huh. Since when. Everything Obama does is about him! Winnner McCain

Like a child unwrapping that first present under the Christmas tree, I carefully logged into my account. What was under the tree for me? Should I shake my email inbox before opening it?
Alas, no presents under my tree. Erin has not replied. Was it something I said? If my breath OK? Deodorant? Was it those orange, tiger-striped shorts – did they make my backside look too big? I believe I have been spurned, cast aside. My hopes dashed. Will she call? Will she write? Does she even remember what I look like or my name?
I feel so cheap. So used. The lady has broken my heart! Maybe she will reply. I will wait by my inbox. ….

POLLING UPDATE IN MY HOMETOWN IN OHIO!
Democratic head of board of elections (whom I know and he said “Hi”) ahem, came in the polling hall. I was standing at the door, already voted waiting for my daughter. I walked out, hot in there. She comes out and said, you should have waited!
He pulled a democrat and republican over to the voting machine and was going to open it because word came in of paper jams! He said he wasn’t going to take anything out but was checking. WTF!
You mean to tell me that we can put a man on the moon but can’t run an election?
I will say this, I didn’t have to wait in line but have never seen as many people voting as today. I was number 197, although that sounds small (it really is) that is big for this time of day in my precinct.
A woman walked up to me while I was standing at the door. She was in tears. I guess I look “approachable enough” (I really am a nice person) and had tears in her eyes. She said in broken English holding her chest, “I am an American citizen and I don’t want to lose my right to vote. I don’t like either candidate but I don’t want to lose my right to vote. (yes twice), I prayed all last night and I was so afraid to vote because I don’t want to lose my right to vote.” I told her that I understood completely and to be thankful that we have that right today and that we are voting in a church! They changed our voting place to this church this election.
If I had to read between the lines, I’m guessing that she may have thought that if Obama wins she may lose her right to vote. I didn’t ask her who she voted for, I went with my gut.
Okay, next update, I mailed three pre-paid envelopes full of worthless crap to the Democratic National Committee after voting. What better day than today to have them pay “a little extra”. They’re getting avon folders, letters from John McCain, clipped up flyers and lots of notes by me!
Next, our store is by the river. Big truck with “HOMELAND SECURITY” all over the side! You know me, drove down to the dock and asked what they were doing, I AM A BRAVE PUMA! The guy was really nice and said they were here to work on one of the Coast Guard boats. Uhm, okay.
My day, so far.

GOP board members tossed out of polling stations in Philly
Nov. 4, 2008
Denying access to the minority (in this case Republican) poll watchers and inspectors is a violation of Pennsylvania state law. Those who violate the law can be punished with a misdemeanor and subjected to a fine of $1,000 and sent to prison between one month and two years.
Those on site are describing the situation as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

TD #280. That’s the thing. The MEDIA says it’s because of our loss of support of the war, that it’s because we don’t agree with Bush on the war (or any other flippin’ excuse they want to manufacture), and all the Dems believe we voted them out because we didn’t agree with the war. I, for one, did agree with it. I agreed with the surge too… mostly because I got my news from multiple sources on the ‘net and not just the Drive-By Media with an agenda to pedal. So of course the Dems then believe both that we are against the war AND that we LOVE all this wasteful spending. It plays right into the hand that the media want to play us as.
Talked with my husband last night. He gets his news from the MSM radio stations every day. He was freaking out about O. So I sat down and explained that when you look at the exit polls and O & Mac are dead even, that is a very good sign for Mac because 65% of those who answer the exit polls are Dems; and 35% are Repubs because we think our vote is our vote, and no one else has the right to question our vote. (BTW, what is up with that stupid pic of O & MO checking out each others’ ballots?! I thought that was illegal!)
Anyway… When they start coming out saying O wins based on the exit polls, do NOT believe them. It can be a LARGE swing to Repubs when the votes are actually counted.
Guiliani said the other day, he was down by 8 in the polls and exit polls. He won by 3. Understand, that is an 11 point swing. So if Mac is EVEN in the exit polls…

When this election started and Obama came on the scene, i had a bad strange feeling about him. For me, his intensions for running this country into the ground became apparent very early on. I said to myself no this cannot happen. Obama has one goal and that is to destroy America. I refuse to pay $1,000.00 for a loaf of bread or have little children suffer and starve under such conditions and under the wrong circumstances it could happen.
Some people may say you deserve it. Look at Ethiopia and places like that. People die of starvation every day. We as a nation need to bring the world together, help these people, so that they at least can help themselves and prosper like we have done in America for 225 years.
We are all human beings black, white, asian, hispanic, etc. etc. all should come together, not try to outdo one another, or have aspirations of “taking over the world”.
Things have got to change. This election I think should be an eye opener that there should be peace on earth and good will to all men.
It may sound corny but its what needs to done.
I am dreading what will happen tomorrow. I blame the mainstream media for making this election a racial and gender format. It will put America back. We are better than that. If we are going to be strong we need to come together as a nation not fight one another. So please,
whatever happens today, let it be, be a grown person and walk away, feel sad and move on. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Thanks for writing, but as I explained to the poster, those are not my words. It was simply background copied from US News and World Report so that I could have two opposing viewpoints in one document. I meant to save it, not send it, and that was my mistake.
Please spread the word – that you are targeting me needlessly.

Did anyone see this story about Rezco, Obama and the land deal? I found it at the Real Barack Obama blog:
“Batchelor: Enter the FBI
November 4, 2008
John Batchelor writes today on his blog:
What is Rezko Talking About, Part 2?
A surprising new report in the Washington Times on Election Day reveals that at least since late 2007 FBI agents have been questioning principals in the Barack Obama and Tony Rezko purchase of the mansion and lot on South Greenfield Avenue in Hyde Park in early 2005.
This is both logical and stunning, because it means that U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation of Tony Rezko has targeted exactly the questionable behavior of Mr. Obama when he first became a U.S. senator and was obliged to file a financial disclosure form.
What the convicted Mr. Rezko is talking about to the U.S. Attorney, awaiting his sentencing for government corruption, most certainly includes how he managed to purchase the lot at 5050 South Greenfield Avenue for the unusual high price of $625 thousand on the same day that Mr. Obama purchased the mansion at 5046 South Greenfield Avenue for the unusually reduced price of $1.65 million.
Tony and Rita Rezko
We have the fact of the FBI inquiry from a civil suit, a whistleblower suit, filed in Chicago by a former clerk at Mutual Bank of Chicago. Kenneth J. Conner is asking $4.2 million because, he claims, he was fired when he refused to go along with a scheme that inflated the value of the lot that Mr. Rezko, in the name of his wife, Rita Rezko, purchased from the Fredric Wondisfords in early 2005. An inflated price, so the thinking goes, that allowed the sellers to reduce the price of the mansion by $300 thousand to Mr. Obama. Mr. Conner says that when the FBI agents, working at the request of the U.S. Attorney, visited him in late 2007, they focused on the lot and were not ambiguous about what the lot meant in terms of risk to Senator Obama.
“Agents and I talked about payoff, bribe, kickback for a long time, though it took them only a short number of minutes of talking with me while looking at the appraisal to acknowledge what they already seemed to know: The Rezko lot was grossly overvalued.”
Graft is Impolite
There are not two ways to interpret these remarks and this incident.
The U.S. Attorney is investigating collusion between a money handler Mr. Rezko and a serving senator Mr. Obama, and the impolite word is graft.
The fact that the FBI agents questioned Mr. Conner nearly a year ago — well before Mr. Rezko’s first corruption trial began in March ‘08 — suggests that all the principals in the lot deal may have been questioned by now. Tony and Rita Rezko, the Mutual Bank officers, the sellers of the lot, the Wondisfords, the realtor of the sale, Donna Schwann, and the purchasers of the house at a discount, the Obamas.
Most crucially, if Mr. Obama has not been questioned by now it would be extraordinary, even unbelievable, given the threat of Mr. Conner’s inferences; and if Mr. Obama has been questioned, it will be a major blow to his new administration when and if this fact is revealed. The voters have not been well informed of this felony risk. Bearing false witness on a Senate disclosure form is the same crime for which Ted Stevens of Alaska was just convicted.
Mr. Obama and his lawyers know where the story is. Mr. Rezko and his lawyers know. Now we can guess some of it due to the conscientious snarkiness of a man who wants money for losing his job to crooks.
There is nothing about this story that is neat. It certainly has the feel of presidential lore already, sweetheart deals, secret covenants, grinding evidence, counter-intuitive arrangements, money-laundering, and it has just turned the magic hour in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire (left, won by a Democrat for the first time in 40 years, 21-6) on the day Mr. Obama will likely become the 44th president-elect.”

In response, you would probably that elections hitherto in America have
been conducted in a proper manner as in this country, which you know well.
–but this year has been an exception,with the lowering of expected standards,beginning especially with the Democratic National Committee,
its treatment of women, especially Hillary and its’ contempt for the ordinary decent honest Democratic voter. From the submissions to the various blogs, it would appear that in 2008 it would not be prudent to make public, one’s voting preferences and hence because of the atmosphere there would be an inclination to use “the bradley cover” for their own safety. Hence there may have been some who availed themselves of this camouflage and if there is a boost from these people which might defeat Senator Obama, so much the better…………..
I was not advocating a change in the ideals of America, but because of events
and connections exhibited this last 18 months, people might have to adapt unusual precautions. The election has brought a lot of embarrassment to the country and this should be forgotten after to-day and hope that future elections will return to the norm.

Hello everyone,
I got up today at 5:30 a.m. and got to the polls at 6:45 a.m. so I could vote before work. There was already a line there when I arrived and things moved slowly (even though there were only about 10-12 people ahead of me). There were only four elections officials working and I don’t think they expected so many people in TX (which is not a swing state).
I voted for the McCain-Palin ticket and some downticket Democrats. I took a friend along with me and she didn’t vote for Obama either.
To the trolls who still visit here (for some inexplicable reason), the MSM, and the Democratic Party: YOU DON’T TELL US WHO TO VOTE FOR. If the Democrats no longer need their base then we will vote for the opposing candidate. I will never support a candidate that was not democratically elected and Barack Obama had no business being on the ticket. Everyone knows Hillary Clinton’s name should have been the Democratic nominee. Finally, if the Democratic Party wants to be rid of us, then I’m gone. I will work to advance women’s issues from now on and will keep demanding that the Democratic Party acknowledge the fraud that was orchestrated by them in 2008.
Have a good day all. Don’t forget to vote against BO today (no matter what the MSM says about the polls).
Best,
Lara08

Middle aged female… on AA’s in line.
Understand this principle (it will serve you well now and in the future): The Media will show the things and give the quotes that fit their agenda.
Wanna see that O’s gonna win in a landslide? Show all the AA’s in a line, and say what a historic day this is for them.
If they wanted the woman to win, they would show a line of 80-90% women and say, “This will be such a historic day for women.”
If they want to cast McCain as wealthy and out of touch, they report on his seven houses, without mentioning the fact that three of them are for elderly family members that the McCain’s are actually TAKING CARE OF.
If they want to show that O cares about others, repeat ad nauseum the quote about his favorite verse being about him being his brother’s keeper, and make SURE you do NOT report about his 1/2 brother that lives in Kenya on $12 a year, or his aunt that he KNEW was in a poverty stricken housing project (they had the GOVERNOR of Mass staff keep an eye on her so they wouldn’t tip someone off to her whereabouts by doing it themselves).
If you want to make people believe O is a big Isreal supporter, sit on the video tape you have of him applauding people calling them murderers.
If you want people to believe that Mac is old and probably on death’s door, bring up his cancer over and over, make sure to report about him not being able to use a computer (and when they turn that story on its head because it’s due to war wounds that he doesn’t, simply rinse and repeat the argument that those wounds make him far older than he already is).
Don’t you get it? They pit us against each other simply by the things they tell us about the other side each day! Every day I wonder what “explanation” they are going to come up with why the market went up or down. They never just report what happened, they always opin on WHY, which I have found through independent study may or may not be at all what’s going on.
We do not have a free and independent mainstream media in this country. What we DO have now is the Internet, where you can read (and now watch) MULTIPLE sources, and even watch the whole speech if you want to. The question now is, how do we bring that to the masses in a way that allows them to do the same?

#339 BTW, the friend who went with me to vote and didn’t vote for BO was AA. She was very angry that so many AA were apparently voting for BO. She said she saw on T.V. that 94% of AA were voting for him. I told her not to believe all that and that the MSM was in the tank for Obama. They also said most Hispanics had fallen in line for BO (and of course women) and we know that’s not the case. If they make you think everyone is for BO then they hope you will also fall in line. They don’t think people have a mind of their own. In several instances we spoke about the AA vote and my position was that she shouldn’t be too angry with AA. People of color usually vote for Democratic candidates and the way I see it Democratic Party leaders are the unethical corrupt ones. They have lied left right and center and have told the AA community that they will actually help them. I’d be very surprised if BO does anything for AA or follows up on any of his promises IF he wins.

Anyone witnessing or getting reports of voter fraud, intimidation or other funny stuff going on at the polls needs to call the hotline MCCain has set up to take those calls: 866-976-VOTE
The McCain-Palin campaign launched the Honest and Open Election hotline to help citizens learn the location of their polling place, as well as report any instances of irregularities at the polls, including voter fraud, intimidation, violence and electioneering. The hotline can be accessed via phone at: 866-976-VOTE.
If you have the time, it might be a good idea
to report it on this site as well. Be as specific as you can – time, location, precinct, and a description of the event.
I hope that’s OK with Murphy.
Again, the number to call is 866-976-VOTE

The poll at top left needs an “all of the above” option because they are all reasons why I will vote against BO today. I’ve been a member of the party formerly known as Democratic since registering 38 years ago and have always voted Democratic. After what I’ve witnessed during this election season, never again. I’m ashamed of what the party has become. I’m voting a straight Republican ticket today for the first time in my life. Time to clean up the cheating, corruption, fraud, lying, sexism/misogyny/male supremacy, thuggery, outright violence and bashing of this country and its founding principles. I’m using my vote to help show all the corrupt, conniving, lying, thieving, women-hating career politicians (e.g. Dems) the ‘exit’ sign.

Do you blame them? Obama was, and is, a weaker candidate than Hillary. If Hillary were running, this election would not be close at all. Not that we would mind!!!
#369 New Orleans Puma Well if the empty suit wins, blame Rush, Rove and Brazile. That was their plan all along, it just came back to bite them in the ass. I still have hope.

On Rush… He can be entertaining. He can be enlightening. He can be very arrogant. He is not always right, but I value his opinion. He brings stories to my attention I would not otherwise have known were out there, and he is very passionate about CONSERVATIVE government. (You know, that whole “What is the deal with stupid earmarks?!” thing.) He definitely speaks his mind, but that allows me (because I listen to him and everyone else and read, read, read) to make up my own mind!
Hannity was on the Ayers thing for a YEAR. The term “unrepentent terrorist” comes directly from Hannity… were it not for him, we never would’ve known about it (and that includes from Rush!).
Glenn Beck is also good, though I have to say, keep your hands away from the nuke button when you listen to him because he will give you the most whacked out side of things (he was first national to cover Stanley Kurtz and the Chicago Annenberg Challege). He has also been screaming about the wall we were about to run headlong into with the economy for a YEAR. (Also, point man on many of the jhihad issues…. wait, are those guys still around? Are we still in a war? Oh, yeah, but it’s just Afghanistan. Silly me. That thing in Iraq ceased to be news when there were only 8 servicemen killed in a month instead of 200.)
Dennis Prager and Michael Medved are also good to listen to, though I do so mostly on a scant basis because they are opposite Hannity and Rush where I live.
To round these voices out, I visit Michelle Malkin and Hot Air every day, and read all of the headlines and many of the commenter’s posts (which I detected a couple months ago that the blogster’s views were “off” and thus went searching for OTHER sources). I read NRO some, though to be honest, they’re a bit high-and-mighty about things for me.
I’ve recently gotten addicted to Hillbuzz, No Quarter and PUMA PAC
And thank God for PUMA PAC, I finally found a home I can believe in!
The moral of this little story is this: Don’t rely on ONE news source. (I used to get Time, and then I started realizing how very slanted every article was. I read Money now, and pick up Time or Newsweek at the doctors just to see what they are saying now.)
The goal should be to question everything you hear, ask:
“Why did they report it this way?” “What is the rest of the story?” “How is there opinion shaping what they are telling me and HOW THEY ARE TELLING IT TO ME?”
Just some tips going forward.
GO VOTE!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I think he also had people voting for Hillary at various times, so it’s a wash? Anyway, what do we expect. He is a Conservative Republican, he wants his guy to win.
Rush is a lot less worse than the DNC power brokers. Rush was acting in his base’s best interests. What interests were the DNC heads and super delegates acting in when they selected Obama over Hillary?

I voted for McCain/Palin and other republicans today in Florida. This is the first time I have ever voted for a republican. My area is fairly democratic so lots of O supporters. There were no lines I walked in a voted. I still don’t understand why anybody would stand in line for hours to vote early.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I voted by mail (dropped in by hand, of course, you can’t trust those sneaky mailmen- heehee!), but yeah, same here in CO. LInes and lines to early vote (it was across the streeet from my kids’ school so I saw the lines), but today, its walk on in, no lines at all! (I’m currently typing from the YMCA which is a polling place– I’m waiting for yogalates to start)
And then I see pics of people in mile long lines from other states– what’s the dealio? Why can CO do it? I’m in the ‘burbs tho. Maybe it is just a city thing?

I miss Hillary. I want Hillary to be FREE to be who she really is. I want the inner Hillary to shout out and say I am Hillary and we must join together for this purpose. I want to go to a Hillary rally and shout out my support. I want to be gathered with all who love Hillary as much as I do.
Hillary remember this election is all about you. We are all here fighting for you and for all women. We are fighting for the little girls in the maternity ward. We are fighting for those little girls as they go to kindergarden. We are fighting for our teenagers as they graduate from high school and we are fighting for our daughters to graduate from college. We are fighting for all women. Together we shall tell the world. It is only one day to 2012.
When I mark my ballot today I will be thinking of you. I will be voting for you. My mark on the paper will be for McCain but my heart will be voting for you.
—–
Well said and I totally agree. I will be shouting out as I put my mark next to McPalin…”Hillary, this one’s for you!”
I am really sad today, sad that Hillary should be running against McCain right now, we should be waiting for her to step up and thank us for helping her win. We shouldn’t be waiting to see if the cheater won.

Come to think of it, I think you’re right. I think Operation Chaos was an all pro-Hillary affair. Pure tactics on Rush’s part, but this appears to be the strangest election where Conservative Republicans supported Hillary at one point (albeit as a tactic) and Hillary supporters are supporting McCain (also in part a tactic – to get a shot at HRC in 2012!)

Not the Democratic voter’s will, that’s for sure. Even if the delegate vote were a tie which it wasn’t (HRC mopped the floor with Obama in the two states that were not counted and would have even if Obama had actively worked for those states), the Democratic voters deserved the most qualified candidate and the one with the best chance to win. We sure did not get that.

Sooooooo
I walked two blocks to my polling place, turned the corner…. in the past, there have been usually 6 to 8 on line at that hour (7AM) there were….SIXTY! Got on line and realized there were another 30 in the lobby and hall to the booths.
I noticed other orange shirts, so I pulled the lapel of my jacket back to show my PUMA PAC logo, but none of the orange responded in any way. Assume coincidense.
Election worker came out to collect mail-in ballots. Told her the obama signs on ALL the windshields of parked cars withing the 50 ft parameter of the poll, were a violation. People behind me bristled. She went back inside and a few minutes later a man came out and removed every single one of the obama signs.
Then it started raining! No one left.
Inside, they couldnt find an address for the guy in front of me. Poll leader, said, “Oh, that’s okay.”
He moved on to vote and I said, “That’s illegal.”
So they searched the sheets and finally found his address way at the bottom.
(I’m watching you you muthafluckers!!!!!!!!!)
Vote McCain without flinching. Voted for all the women. Being tagged a racist by the obots, I voted against the two black men running for school board. (Fluck ‘em all.)
Voted No on 8 (state constitutional amendment to define marriage heterosexually).
Vote Yes on 4 for animal rights.
Voting usually takes 15 minutes from line to exit…
took an hour and 15 today.

RS has received a tip that an unknown number of voters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are receiving phone calls informing them — falsely — that their voting stations have been relocated. At least 3 of the voters who received such calls determined that the information was false, and informed officials of this illegal attempt to prevent them from casting their ballots. The three specific cases that have come to our attention involve different precincts in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania — which may be the most important one in the nation for John McCain’s presidential bid.

Dear Murphy,
On this momentous day, I want to thank you for all you have done. Thank you for having the vision, the passion and the drive to create PUMApac. Thank you for these past many months of threads, full of inspired writing and amazing visual images. Thank you for organizing countless prowls, which involved research, organization, and writing. Thank you for all of the time, energy and money expended to do all of this, and so much more.
You have created a space for Hillary supporters (and others) to come together to take action and lend support to one another. In so doing, each of us is not alone in the wilderness, so to speak, but has a home.
Over the past several months, there have been times when I’ve disagreed with you on some points. Most of that has occurred off blog, some on the blog. But, all things on balance, when I take a step back and look at this amazing feline creature known as PUMApac, there is simply no denying that you have created and nurtured something truly extraordinary.
I am grateful to you for what you have done and find comfort in knowing you and everyone else will still be here after Election Day, carrying on this work that must be done.
But, in this strange, exciting and frightening moment between where we have been and where we are headed, please accept my humblest expression of gratitude, thanks and admiration for all of your vision, creativity and hard work.
We are, indeed, a beautiful shimmering light because of your courage to light the flame.
Sincerely,
Anna

Ms. Davisson,
Thank you for your reply. Just so we are on the same page, I want to make sure I have a clear understanding.
It is my understanding that this was communication in question that you are now claiming was not your response:

Subject: RE: Urgent videos. Obama willing to bankrupt coal indutry; backs govt.
price ’signals’ on energy to ‘change behavior’
The only thing is, it isn’t true
Obama didn’t say he was out to bankrupt coal mines. What he was saying is, that with current emissions standards, coal mine owners would go bankrupt because of the issues of greenhouse emission. He then went on to say that the U.S. operating without coal was “an illusion,” and therefore the best solution is to promote clean coal technology – ways of reducing emissions and allowing coal companies to meet emissions standards and stay in business.
His comments are being taken entirely out of context by choosing one half of a statement and not the other. In other words, they’re turning the truth into a lie. This was never a gaffe. He’s not out to destroy the coal industries. It’s a sad attempt by McCai nand Palin to use fear tactics to draw voters.
What the McCain camp is not giving you from the original tape: Obama: “But this notion of no coal, I think, is an illusion. Because the fact of the matter is is that right now we are getting a lot of our energy from coal. And China is building a coal-powered plant once a week. So what we have to do then is figure out how can we use coal without emitting greenhouse gases and carbon.” Obama Passed An Amendment Supported by Biden To Add $200M For Carbon Capture And Sequestration Technology In Senate’s FY 2008 Budget. Obama was the chief sponsor of an amendment to the 2008 Senate Budget resolution that added $200 million for Function 270 (Energy) for the demonstration and monitoring of carbon capture and sequestration technology by the Department of Energy. [SA 599 to SCR 21, Agreed to by Unanimous Consent,

Based on my reading of your original reply, there is no indication whatsoever that you were merely forwarding ”
background copied from US News and World Report so that I could have two opposing viewpoints in one document.” You make no reference in your original communication that the statemnts contained therein are “background” from another source, or that the substance of the communication was to be used for used as background for a larger story on the coal issue. In fact, you end the original response with a the words, “Thanks for your interest, and remember to vote tomorrow”. If this was intended for internal consumption, why, pray tell, would you thank the other members of your news department for their interest in the story? Did they also email you Senator Obama’s statements on bankrupting coal? Is that the story you are sticking to?
Ms. Davission, let me be frank in stating that I find your explanation unbelievable. It lacks any and all credibility, and is not supported by the context in which your response was made.
If I have erred in my analysis or conclusions, please let me know. I certainly want to be fair in my own analysis, and am more than willing to listen to any plausible explanation.
Thank you,

Real Clear Politics shows trending for McCain for the third straight day in a row. He’s even ahead in a few swing states and other than CO and NV (which he really needs), the gap has continued to tighten, down to 2 points in some cases. I have some hope (plus Valium)!

Mom turned on the kitchen tv for a few minutes and it was all about how HUGE the turnouts were everywhere (Fox). She turned it off and went to bed discouraged…. she, like I, have a terrible sinking feeling that a LOT of these huge numbers of new voters are people who BO sent there- either illegal aliens, or voting for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time under registered dead people’s names etc. You know, all this early voting left that kind of thing wide open. When it was all done one day it was harder to get back and vote under a different registered name then when you can do one a day for a week or so…. Like my 84 year old mother said as she went to put her head under the covers and hide “Obama will do anything he can to win- and he’ll do it….”…. sigh….
God PLEASE help honesty and right to overcome the evil in this election and help McCain to win!!!
Anna7000 11.04.08 at 11:51 am
New Orleans – My impression is that there are not “poll watchers” stationed full time at every polling station. I think their roll is more one of response should anything suspicious be going on. I’ll find out more in an hour when I meet up at the McCain headquarters to fan out as a poll watcher, but that’s my impression so far of their roll. Maybe the role varies depending on where you live and how many volunteers there are. This is why is was so outrageous that the Dept. of Justice decided against having personnel at polling stations.

I have NEVER forgotten that quote from that debate when he condescendingly said that to Hillary. That turned the tide for me if I ever were to consider him.
Also, I posted that UK Spectator quote a few days ago…it’s great.
Did anyone see Greta last night? She had a story about the Hillary robocall that says “John MCCain brings years of experience and BO brings a speech from 2004 to the White House”.
I think it’s a recent audio.
Also, they had a story of BO campaign worker in Fla. who said just this weekend that BO lacks “political courage” and that is why he couldn’t leave Wright’s church. He would have lost too much in Chicago.
Where the hell was this stuff two weeks ago?

standing in line this morning, an older woman was vocalizing her excitement about “this historical moment” looking to me to agree with her… i had to bite my tongue to keep from saying “historical? you mean historically shoved down our throats by being INSTALLED by the DNC?” …but i just kinda rolled my eyes and said “yea, uh, it’s… amazing” …then she turned to the ladies behind me and said “this is so exciting, it’s like a Jimmy Stewart movie. The People Will Rise Up” and the women’s reply was “yea, rise for WHAT though?” …i had heard them earlier very subtly indicating to each other that they were NOT voting for Obama
that older lady definitely wasn’t getting any group hug from anyone around her. additionally, someone mentioned that this neighborhood is one of the strongest McCain voting districts. thank God not all New Yorkers are crazy.

Just got back from voting….no long lines where I voted. I think alot of people voted early. I wore a red t-shirt that says “ALL AMERICAN” and my puma shoes. I didn’t see any people wearing orange when I voted.
A girl came to vote beside me and told her companion that she is just voting for “The One” and I believe her because she was done in 2 seconds…It took me a long time because we had a lot of issues to vote on in my county.

mimi1020 11.04.08 at 11:59 am
FROM THE PAUL MARSTON SITE: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PUMAS BABY!
What we have seen so far is just the undecided’s breaking for McCain-Palin about 4 to 1. The PUMA Factor has not been felt in the polls. They have never been accounted for in those and still are not. They will make their presence felt when the votes are counted tonight. If there was no PUMA Factor, McCain would still squeak a win by carrying the FL, OH, VA, CO and the one vote from Maine. That produces a 270-268 result, which you can think of as a worst case scenario. That close an election would be troublesome, particularly if Obama-Biden carried the popular vote. It is the PUMA’s who are going to turn this into a landslide in order to teach the Democratic National Committee better manners and allow them to take back the Democrat Party from the left wing extremists. If Obama wins, what chance would Hillary have after that and what chance would they have to take their party back?
The media does not speak PUMA. Have you ever heard or seen it used in the media? They know there are some unhappy Hillary supporters out there, but the just assume that almost all of them will come around. The PUMA coalition is an underground movement based on the web. I have lost count of how many websites are devoted to the PUMA phenomenon, but it is way over 100. Like Br’er Rabbit, they are lying low and are about to claw up Obama for what he did to Hillary. Of course, it helps that there is a female on the Republican ticket which gives these folks one more reason to forget about party unity even if they do not agree with her positions.
Many of you have asked why the pollsters are not accounting for the PUMA Factor. Their models are built on the “normal” defection from a voter registering with one party and voting for the other one. Because the Democratic Party hosed Hillary big time, the are some very unhappy Democrats who will not vote for Obama. This is not normal and is an effect causing a mistake of 7 to 8 % in the polling by counting Democrats as voting for Obama when they are going to vote for McCain. No matter what the people say who are polled, pollsters still weight their sample to “force” it into known demographic and political patterns. That does not even begin to account for people who deliberately lie to the pollsters which PUMA’s are urged to do.

PLEASE EVERYONE:
Make calls for McCain. There are many hours left to the day and we need to make sure McCain supporters, at the very least, go to the polls to vote. Many may be influenced by media coverage that it’s a done deal and may feel, why bother? Others may feel tepid about McCain because he’s not conservative enough (if you reach someone like that, remind them about Sarah Palin’s role on the ticket PLUS the danger of the alternative). I have found many Republicans to be extremely complacent this year. We can give them that extra push to get them out to the polls. (BTW, if you get someone you think is tepid on MAC cause he’s not conservative enough, I recommend NOT sharing that your a PUMA, since that will only reinforce their notion that he’s too moderate.) Please, please, please make calls!!!!!!!!!!! Take all your positive energy from voting, from hopefullness, from wherever you can get it and use it on the phone!

To me, the article (and the e-mails that gave rise to it) provide a rare inside look at how the media deliberately conspires to spin the news in BO’s favor. I think your communications with Davisson also should be cc’ed to GVS, SH, Mac campaign, team Sarah, WI GOP, if you haven’t done so already.

Well, I just got back from voting and I am drained from tension. Not because of problems at the polls since I live in a smallish upscale community and vote in a pleasant church that had plenty of voting machines and baked goods and coffee for sale. But because of this campaign and the fear that Obama will be declared the winner by hook or by crook. We had a group of very well behaved young men who escorted us to a voting machine and explained how they worked. They wore t shirts that said ‘Booth Youth’. I was so uptight that I didn’t think to ask them who sponsored the group – darn. We don’t get a paper copy of how we voted, but there is a running duplicate of your votes on the side under glass, so you can verify that your vote is being designated correctly (you can ask for a paper ballot if you want). It’s noon but I’m too tense to eat, so I’m going to take a walk since the weather here in Ohio is gorgeous today. I hope everyone else’s experience is good today and I’ll catch up on the comments when I get back.

Republicans Kept Pace in Colorado’s Early Voting
These results from early voting in Colorado are fascinating.
Out of 1,704,280 “early votes” cast, over 50% of registered voters, the percentage breakdown was:
Dem 33.44% (569,875)
Rep 32.64% (556,241)
Ind. 24.71% (421,124)
The print edition of this story shows a graphic with the following information:
Voting by absentee ballot:
Total 1,339,065
Rep. 441,841
Dem. 441,203
Ind. 311,196
Voting by early voting:
Total 365,215
Dem. 128,672
Rep. 114,400
If I remember correctly, Republicans traditionally have an advantage in early voting in Colorado, so this isn’t unalloyed good news. But I generally concur with the Colorado reader who noticed this that “Republicans held their own in both types of early voting in Colorado despite the unprecedented effort by Democrats to get a jump; only 8/10s of 1 percent difference… which casts doubt on the higher Democrat party ID in recent polls.”
The Oct. 30 Marist poll, for example, had Obama leading early voters, 59 to 41. Now, perhaps there are a lot of Obamacans in this state, or perhaps the independents overwhelmingly preferred Obama. But then again, maybe not.
It’s possible that most of the voters who show up today are Democrats, and it’s possible that the independents prefer Obama. But judging from the party breakdown of early voting, the Democrats have not yet generated any signficant Party ID advantage among the state’s electorate as a whole.

BillieJo #498. NO they are not staying home. They are as PO’d as all of you, just not aware that you guys & gals exist. They think it’s a “phantom movement.” All talk… nice talk, but all talk.
They are interpreting long lines as evidence of BO-syndrome and crying in their soup that their one little vote won’t even make a difference, but they DID vote.
It’s funny to go to hotair and read them because they sound just like y’all, except more scared and far less active. They are more a rag-tag bunch that comes together to discuss. They do not organize prowls, etc. I really think that is more a Dem thing as you guys are the first I’ve really been around things like that. VERY COOL I might add.
The Repubs ARE VOTING, and in vast numbers… just doing it very quietly because they fear the O backlash if they speak up.

Then I went to Albertson’s ran into another caucasian young girl and she said she was voting Mccain also. I gave her a hug. I was so thrilled to know that the young ones have finally realized that Obama is bad news.
It has started rainy here in southern california close to the border.
In Hawaiian culture when it rains on an important day it means you will get good luck because you have been blessed by the lord.
MCCAIN WILL WIN THAT I AM SURE OF NOW!!!!!

I gotta get ready to head out to be a poll watcher. I so wish I could stick close to everyone here today. Will be back later. Meanwhile, everyone, please try to direct some of this great energy to making calls. You don’t have to do it with the intent on making 100. Just dip you toes into the waters and before you know it, you’ll be on a roll. Even if you just make 10 calls – if each PUMA made 10 calls. But, I’d bet that once you start, knowing this is the very last chance, you’ll make more than 10, anyway.
See everyone later –

Foul Play at voting places???
Power out in various places in Los Angeles due to rain. TWO precincts have also lost power but not rain related. Anyone remember the fire alarms that were pulled during the caucases? Oddly, between the time everyone left the building and came back (about 30 minutes) the cuacas sheetw were full of nobo voters. Hadn’t been before the alarm was pulled. This all makes me sick to my stomach. Fighting evil is pretty hard work!!

tashacakes 11.04.08 at 12:15 pm
Just got back from the polls in CT. I voted straight Republican, to mitigate the possibility of unchecked far left/radical mayhem. I’m in a generally republican suburaban/rural town that has a fair amount of “latte liberals”. Significant line but very orderly. There will be no voter fraud here. That’ll happen in the adjacent cities. Unfortunately, the older more conservative residents in the cities may be afraid to go to the polls, especially in this election which has been so racially charged, thanks to the Evil One and his sycophants in the media.
I have a sneaking suspicion that all those camera shots of African American voters in long lines is designed to suppress the older white residents in urban areas. Pity, not just because it may suppress votes, but also because it helps reinforce stereotypes that most Americans have worked so hard at breaking down. It really angers me to think that the media and rabid Obot supporters could be crassly stoking racial fear and animosity, the very thing they claim to fighting against–all for political profit.
I’m resigned to my usual Blue state status, but I’m praying for a miracle and hoping that CT’s seven electoral votes go for McCain/Palin.

Dell’s Problems Start With Top Dude
Joan Lappin, Gramercy Capital 11.03.08, 4:45 PM ET
Over the last several years, women have struggled to gain equal recognition, whether in the corporate workplace or in the political arena.
We’ve seen the glass ceiling under attack in this electoral cycle as Sen. Hilary Clinton (D-N.Y.) almost made it to the White House but didn’t pull it off in the end. We’ve seen it with Gov. Sarah Palin (R-Alaska), who is a woman with strong public speaking skills but not much mastery of civics or foreign affairs as befits a vice president.
In some cases, the glass ceiling has been replaced by the glass trap door. Just look at the history of Carly Fiorina, formerly of Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ – news – people ), or Sallie Krawcheck at Citigroup (nyse: C – news – people ), or Zoe Cruz, formerly of Morgan Stanley (nyse: MS – news – people ).
For sure, the environment created by a CEO permeates an entire organization. When the guy at the top promotes diversity and equality for men and women, everybody has a better opportunity for success than they would in an old boys’ network. Recent events at Dell (nasdaq: DELL – news – people ) would indicate that change is still missing at the top of that company, and the business has stumbled for several years because of it.
In early April 2008, Dell held its first analyst meeting in about three years. In the interim, earnings had faltered, the Securities and Exchange Commission launched an accounting probe and the company made several changes in top management. Michael Dell even returned from a distant role as chairman to resume operating responsibility for the company. Much of 2007 was spent recruiting fresh new talent for the top managerial ranks, some with amazing pay packages to induce them to come to little ole Austin, Texas.
The analyst meeting was held at a modest hotel to reassure investors that an eye was being kept to the costs of the endeavor, a far cry from the lavish and delicious buffets the company used to serve up at their annual gathering at the Pierre Hotel in New York City. Many of the meetings the first day were held in a conference room on the Dell campus. At the end of the two-day affair, Michael Dell called all the presenters (the new top managers) to the dais. At that moment, it hit me. Of the 12 or 14 executives arrayed on the platform, there was not a single woman.
I raised my hand and observed that a few years ago, Dell ran terrific ads featuring the motto: “Dude, you’re getting a Dell!” I suggested that any shareholder who chose to buy the stock would be doing the opposite. “It looks to me as if someone buys Dell, they are getting a dude.”
Since the new team had spent some time discussing their future plans to go after the small business market, I also pointed out that more than half of all small businesses are started by women. It would seem logical, but maybe not Texas logical, that if you are hoping to attract women as customers you might want some input from females in management roles.
Earlier this week, I was called by a reporter from The Wall Street Journal who was in the room when I asked my question. He remembered it quite clearly, but when he reviewed the transcript of the Q&A on the Dell Web site, my exchange with Michael Dell had clearly been deleted.
At the time, Michael responded that they had told the head hunters to find the very best candidates for each position they were trying to fill. Alas, none of the women he interviewed quite passed muster. He tried to explain that they had women at the next level down, but they weren’t there in the room. He also couldn’t remember any of their names so he turned the microphone over to the head of human resources who he hoped might have a better memory and bail him out. Then Michael remembered that there are two women on the Dell board of directors, so he mentioned that.
“Out of how many?” I asked. “Fourteen,” he said. I volunteered that was a “good start” but not much more than that.
After I returned to New York, I decided to look up who the two women were on Dell’s board. One is the recently fallen star of Citigroup, Krawcheck. The other is Judy Lewent, who played a role in the hiring of Ed Zander, whose recent catastrophic reign as CEO of Motorola (nyse: MOT – news – people ) laid its mighty business low. Lewent, now retired as the chief financial officer of Merck (nyse: MRK – news – people ), attended a charity dinner in my home for the Women’s Campaign Fund a decade ago, but I have never met Krawcheck. All I know about her I read in the papers.
When Citigroup was having some problems with ethical challenges six years ago (in part over the payment of $2 million as a gift to the 92nd Street Y to get then telecom analyst Jack Grubman’s twins into their pre-school), Citi decided to bring in a woman to help bolster ethics and improve its public image. Krawcheck had been at Bernstein and had a fine reputation as a research analyst. She had also started her ascent into top management there. Initially, Sandy Weill put her in charge of Smith Barney.
Fast-forward to April 2008. A judge ordered Citi to pay out $33 million in a settlement to a group of women who had sued Smith Barney (onetime home of the infamous “Boom Boom Room”) for not giving lucrative new leads to women in their employ. Instead, the best leads were diverted to the men in the office. The money is to be shared among the plaintiffs, and Smith Barney is to be monitored for a period of years to ensure that the bad policies are superseded by ones that are more fair.
Krawcheck was in charge of Smith Barney during the period that these women weren’t being treated fairly. It doesn’t seem we can argue that she is one of the lucky gals who breaks through the glass ceiling and then makes sure that she pulls as many through after her as she can. CEO Vikram Pandit recently showed Krawcheck to the door at Citi.
You could correlate her time as CFO of Citigroup to the same time period when CDOs were being sold to unsuspecting investors as fast as possible. One might presume that Krawcheck had been in a position to exercise some control over, or to at least call someone’s attention to, the looming catastrophe.
With only men at the top of Dell and two female board members who are not known as outspoken advocates for women in the workplace, the situation at Dell is not a good one for women. After the April meeting in which I put Dell on the defensive, three or four women came up to me and thanked me for speaking out on their behalf. They said I was right on the money. But recent events show that by deleting my questions from the transcript, Dell did nothing to erase the problem.
The Journal reporter, Justin Scheck, called me because a group of women have now sued the company for discriminatory practices. Their complaints are the standard ones we read about all the time. They were passed over for promotions by younger men with less experience and fewer qualifications. That seems to emanate right from the top of the company. I have every reason to believe their complaints are justified, but that will be decided in court. I have spoken with vendors who do business there, and they comment often about how they don’t see any women in their meetings. And there are always the jokes about the Dell dudes.
Recently, my Congresswoman, Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), has been out on the circuit with her new book Rumors Of Our Progress Have Been Greatly Exaggerated. You may have seen her at a Barnes & Noble (nyse: BKS – news – people ) talk or on C-SPAN. To support Maloney and her book, I bought several copies and sent them to CEOs of companies that in the aggregate employ 150,000 or more people.
Maloney autographed Michael Dell’s copy to say, “Joan Lappin tells me that you should read my book for your three daughters and for all the women who work at Dell.” Needless to say, Michael never sent me a thank you note for the book. Not only does he not get how much he is shortchanging his company by ignoring women as Dell flails, but he also doesn’t get it that no matter how rich you are, manners are always a good thing.
Dell, by the way, is selling for its lowest price since 1997. In September, Michael Dell bought himself another 5 million shares at prices above $20. It is now trading for $12. So this is also one insider whose actions should not necessarily be emulated by the investing public.

A Repeat of 2004 Philly Voter Chaos, Fraud
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 7:46 AM
GOP Election Board members have been tossed out of polling stations in at least half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.
A Pennsylvania judge previously ruled that court-appointed poll watchers could be NOT removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, but that is exactly what is happening, according to sources on the ground.
It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.
Denying access to the minority (in this case Republican) poll watchers and inspectors is a violation of Pennsylvania state law. Those who violate the law can be punished with a misdemeanor and subjected to a fine of $1,000 and sent to prison between one month and two years.
Those on site are describing the situation as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.
Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.
“Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process,” said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall.
The City of Brotherly Love was roiled in controversy during the 2004 election because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry before the polls had opened. A man also used a gun to intimidate poll workers at Ward 30, division 11 in 2004.
Drudge…
TXRepGirl 11.04.08 at 12:28 pm
Grizzly #552. Because us Republicans are such BAAAAD people.
Heck, our way of thinking is pretty much the same as pornography! And notice, please, everyone, that he’s talking about RADIO. That means Rush, Hannity, Beck. It does NOT mean MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC or FOX or the Internet… yet…
And I should also point out that the FD is being raised again because the liberal talk radio pundit shows died for lack of an audience. No one shut them down or silenced them. They simply were not making any money, and so the radio stations dropped them for others that did.
I should also point out for those that don’t know, that these stations are PRIVATE enterprises. They are not government run (and I wonder if NPR will be taken off or “balanced” in some way).
And rest assured, these people are very SERIOUS about silencing talk radio. They want at all costs to shut them down as a voice of opposition. In fact, O & his Obots have called Sean Hannity out BY NAME on numerous occasions. Can you imagine John McCain exhorting a person in his audience to “tear Tom Brokaw up”?
Just some thoughts from right over the fence.

i went to a movie on night here in Manhattan on the Upper West Side, a nice area… on the way down the stairs to the theater, we noticed a large number of black people wearing dark colored “do rags” rushing down the stairs. when we sat down in the theater, these black people were filling up the sits in the front part of the theater, while big black dudes with scowls on their faces stood rigidly with crossed arms in front of the screen facing out toward all the seats in the theater and they stood, arms crossed in the aisles preventing NORMAL people from taking seats in certain rows. THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OVER THE THEATER BY BULLYING AND INTIMIDATION!!!!! i said oh HeLLLLL NO and my husband and i got up, got our money back and promptly informed the management what was going on. btw, on the way back up the stairs, dozens more of these people wearing the “do rags” came streaming down the stairs toward the theater (in NY, many movie theaters have multiple levels). the manager was a mamby pamby timid guy who tried to say it was no big deal… and said he was NOT going to do anything about it!
We left, crossed the street, found a payphone (this was ’97 before everyone had a cell phone) and I called 911, described the people, how many there were and exactly what was going on. Not 2 minutes later, about 5 NYC POLICE cars pulled up in front of the theater! Satisfied I’d done the only rational responsible thing I could have done, we left. I called the theater the next day and talked to the manager. He sounded a bit pissed and asked if I was the one who called the police. I lies and said no, because I certainly didn’t give a crap to hear what this worthless twirp had to say, I told him I was there and was just wondering what happened. He told me that those people are the Black Israelites and that the NYC police were watching them, they know where their headquarters are, etc.

I am sure Schumer’s views will come as a surprise to many Democrats. To begin with a “conservative” is not limited to any particular political party. There are many, many conservative DEmocrats – Reagan Dems, Blue Dog Dems, etc.
My entire Irish family are mostly Democrats. Yet, they consider themselves to be very conservative in the way they think and the way they live. And that is really the point – what Schumer is trying to regulate is thought!
And, I take great exception to his pornography analogy. This is an industry that caters to the base instincts and purient interests of a certain segment of society. A segment, I might add, that has continued their existence by pushing the envelope behind a very liberal agenda – they hide behind the a distortion of the First Amendment.
Pornography is an industry that makes its living by debasing over half of our population – women. If any other industry dared to make a living off of the debasement of any other protected class, they would be summarily shut down.
Schumer is way over the line here. He is being a good Obama foot soldier and playing the partisan hack by trying to paint conservatives with the pornographers airbrush. He is a man bankrupt of intellectual honesty and berift of character. And he now wants to control our thoughts and values.
We need to get back to the days where our elected representatives were statesmen, not pitchmen. We need representatives that put country before party and put country before their personal gains or interests.

I tell ya, sitting at work in ObamaLand is sickening today. I have my Hillary button on to ward off the Obots.
One professor said, “This is a historic day, the other Obots chanted in, “Yes it is”.
I was in the middle, he saw my button and said, “Just don’t pick that old guy. (Professor is older than McCain),
I said, “”I will not vote for Obama, he cheated and will not get my vote!”
He said, “Put all of that aside and don’t vote for McCain.”
I said, “He cheated and I will vote to let the old guy play one more time.
He shook his head and walked away.
Do they really think I will change my mind just because they ask me to??
This is going to be a long freakin’ day. I work here another 5.5 hrs.

LOL!! I’m sitting at my desk at lunch and the phone rings. It is an automated message from Robert Duvall in support of John McCain. Love it!! I just talked to my dad and he tells me that there are still long lines at the local polling places in Wayne Co., WV. I know that this is McCain country. I’ll update later. Good Luck Everyone!

A quick one — go to obamacrimes.com to see the affidaavit on Berg’s lawsuit. It talks all about nobo’s involvement with Odingo.

I got a shock…my friend who lives in NC didn’t know about PUMA’s. Surprised me somewhat. I had never brought you guys up in conversation because she had told me she was voting McCain and why.
So PUMA’s are very much unground.

That’s great news, thank you.
Woodie 11.04.08 at 12:40 pm
Just a bit of info,,,for those that write-in hillary your vote unfortunately will be lost….I know we all feel strongly about hillary but what I did was I left the democratic party after 25 yrs. and became an independent. I voted republican right across the board. I sent a message to the DNC that I was disgusted on how they treated hillary, the super delegates, the roll call which was a sham everything.
What needs to be done is we get rid of pelosi, reid, dean, the lot of them. And help revamp the democratic party into a party that has integrity, honesty, and is for the people of america instead of them lining their pockets, as so many of them have done and sold us out with that $700 Billion payoff. They didn’t even punish those people.
And don’t forget that one of those companies that got a piece of that $700 billion came to California here, rented an expensive hotel, and racked up a bill of over $400,000.00 to celebrate their good fortune. That just goes to show you how disrespectful they are and how that they couldn’t give a damn that many lost there homes and ended up on the street. They should go to jail.

I just had lots of fun, the door bell rang and it was obombots! They were looking for my son, I had on my Hillary suporters for McCain shirt and an I voted sticker, they said I see you already voted, with a big grin I said Yes I did! They asked if my son ws an obama suporter and I said know he’s not. I told them I belong to PUMA!
freddiebrown 11.04.08 at 12:40 pm
We Voted !! Fred got especially excited for some reason.
Then we went to Starbucks – if you tell them you voted or you have a sticker, you can get a free coffee. No too many people drink black coffee when they go to Starbucks . I noticed quite a few folks had a voter sticker and there were 3 separate AA women, they didn’t have any visible stickers.
Maybe they’re going later or maybe they think its sewn up – better not say more or Anna7000 will scold again.
Oh, in San Diego, they didn’t even ask for ID, nothing. I just walked up and they asked my name and that was it – nothing else. Very bogus. Some guy behind us at Starbucks agreed it was crazy.
KarenWI 11.04.08 at 12:41 pm
I’m in a democrat area… however the two I know who are repub (besides mom) one is voting Ron Paul and the other vote McCain.
mijabsnji 11.04.08 at 12:41 pm
I’m suprised they even came to my door with all my signs .

Woodie 11.04.08 at 1:13 pm
FROM A PREVIOUS POST, IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR MCCAIN VOTE REGISTERING IN THE MACHINE…VOTE REPUB RIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD AND THEN IT WILL REGISTER. THEY HAVE RIGGED THE MACHINES TO CONFUSE PEOPLE.
PLEASE BE AWARE OF ANY SNEAKY TRICKS AND TAKE A PHOTO AND GET AS
MUCH INFO AS YOU CAN SO WE CAN NAIL THEM LATER….

This is absolutely FASCINATING. And, honestly, we only thought about this a day or so ago because we’ve been focused on other things, but it really does not take very many PUMAs at ALL to swing this election to McCain in a big way — and PUMAs are not being counted in the polls at ALL, because the Obamedia insists almost all Democrats will be voting for Obama, when we know that’s definitely not the case.
It’s really clear how few of us are needed to make a difference if you use simple numbers, so you can see how extrapolations on a larger scale will be massive.

Texas Tigress…..YES! What a great idea!!! I am in Virginia, when it goes McCain I will love to send PUMA note to the media fools!!!!!!
lurker 11.04.08 at 1:32 pm
I am so damn mad I could spit! My son was turned away here in Palm Beach county from turning in our absentee ballots at a north office that is listed on the absentee ballot information sheet as to where to turn in if can’t be mailed.
Called the main office, sure enough, they are supposed to be accepting them. He has already left as he couldn’t even vote there! Now I am arguing with him (21) to go back there to turn them in because of the principal of the thing! I am soooo mad! Some in our county live way out and if they are told that they may never get their ballots in on time! I am fuming! Why should I have expected anything different??
feebie 11.04.08 at 1:36 pm
Well – my ballot was cast here for McCain/Palin. Im in California -(WC). I was an independent voter who was going to choose a third party candidate until I ran into your site. Its California, but I never felt so good about it. Thanks to all you PUMA’s. Great job!

Some of the biggest idiots I have ever known in my 62 years have been precisely these kind of “minds”…so glad you said and did what you said and did!!!
djs 11.04.08 at 2:04 pm
I”m here in Ohio and was a Democrat who voted for Hillary. I just voted for M/P and so did my whole family.I know many who will vote for M/P. I have been reading here for awhile. I sure hope there are millions of people who feel like we do. This is the first election that I cared about and thats because of Hillary.I know in her heart she hated doing what she did for O but I do understand she had to keep face.Thank all of you here for your great work and for giving me some hope.

Hey PUMA
The party is upstairs folks!!

I am watching TV and see that BO can only win by intimidation of voters……….
Woodie 11.04.08 at 2:17 pm
i received an email from mccain’s camp listing phone numbers to call
does anyone know if it is kosher to call on election day? Please advise soonest…thanks!!!
VA-James 11.04.08 at 2:22 pm
Woodie, Absolutely! McCain himself is breaking tradition by going to several states today. If the person you call seems upset or frustrated by the call, just tell them you are reminding them to vote. I can usually tell just by how they answered the phone if it warrants more interaction.
VA-James 11.04.08 at 2:24 pm
I have noticed that the notworks have not called any states yet. We were being warned that exit polls would be released as early as 2PM.
Woodie 11.04.08 at 2:44 pm
Credit Scarlet thanks
From what I get from the guy whose doing the numbers:
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/fun-with-math/
I read it and for this whole election to be a landslipe 1.2 million approximately puma votes is needed for McCain to win. Therefore, we have 18 million PUMAS who voted for hillary. Not all will vote for McCain, some might write in Hillary, and some may go to obama but 1.2 million out of 18 million that’s more than pretty good odds.
Piece of Cake. MC CAIN IS GOING TO WIN
AND dont forget he filed suite against the state that got the military votes out late. He has requested a later date past nov.5th for those guys to get their votes in and counted. So keep that in mind.
I figure this is going to be a long day. Do not watch TV period.
I am going to wait to about 10 pm tonite. If it is a landslide, McCain may not even need the military vote and it should be a done deal.
KEEP THE FAITH LADIES !!!!
zrusilla 11.04.08 at 2:46 pm
I lurk here. Just reporting that I pumatized the vote in CA.
Grateful4PUMAS 11.04.08 at 3:35 pm
I am not only GRATEFUL for each and every one of you, I am GRATEFUL that there are still Americans out there, in droves willing to stand up to whatever is thrown their way!
Keep the faith PUMA’s we will prevail.
On a side note, got call from my to my 29 yr old daughter this morning who asked me if I voted (which I did in IL!) She proceded to tell me how vital this day is to our future and why she and my son in law were so proud to vote for an American Hero today. She is in VA and said she stood in line 1.5 hrs and didnt mind a bit. Was on her way home to babysit for other family so they could do the same. The youth of America does see what is happening……….between them and the PUMAS, we got this!

I would like to thank you for flyers PUMAS distributed all over this great country of ours. Those flyers made a HUGE DIFFERENCE in this election, it change votes in favor of McCain. I have a lot of help distributing those flyers all over my county, McCain volunteers did a lot of walking like I did distributing those flyers. Although I was verbally assaulted while distributing flyers, the good outweighs the bad; it made me smile when I see people saying thank you to me.
We are the ones no one was expecting. I hope I’ll feel a bit better today so I can join the group for victory party this evening. I’m still under the weather, haven’t fully recovered yet.
PUMAS thank you all for everything you do for our country.
mick 11.04.08 at 3:59 pm
Hey PUMAs
Take it upstairs!
wolfie 11.04.08 at 4:31 pm
hi everyone- voted in wisconsin this morning and the polls were not overly busy- heard one of the workers say he was expecting a larger turnout- the voters were mostly small business people – joe the plumber, masonary, and builders (the signs on the side of their trucks gave them away) and no young voters. add to this that this afternoon i watched two college kids come walking through the neighborhood going door to door. they skipped my house completely (Mccain sign in front) but the guy spent alot of time talking to the lady across the street- maybe they are not getting the giant turnout they were expecting and are trying to round up votes- she has not left to vote yet so i do not think they won her over. he did not look very happy when he left.
