Great daily resource for '08 -'12 election parallels. See more at www.kingsdream.com Quotes "During my years in Congress and for the four decades since, I've been labeled a 'bleeding-heart liberal.' It was not meant as a compliment, but I gladly accept it. My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad. A bleeding-heart liberal, by definition, is someone who shows enormous sympathy towards others, especially the least fortunate. Well, we ought to be stirred, even to tears, by society's ills. And sympathy is the first step toward action. Empathy is born out of the old biblical injunction "Love the neighbor as thyself." -- George McGovern, American Hero, Link Send e-mail to Bart Obama Regains Lead in National Poll Yet some polls have Thurston up by 7 Link Just hours before the final debate, we’re unveiling a new Democracy Corps poll that shows the president with a three-point lead. But we have a lot more to say than that. We explore in detail just why we think our new national survey means more than many others — especially the Gallup poll that shows Romney ahead – and exactly how Obama can close the deal in tonight’s showdown. This is video of Carville explaining things. Send e-mail to Bart Obama's edge, Thurston loses Bounce Who will have MO two weeks from tomorrow? Link Romney’s first debate bounce has evaporated and Obama once again has taken a slim lead in The Washington Times/Zogby Poll released Sunday night — though the survey showed Romney’s backers are far more energized about him than the president’s backers are about their candidate. Obama leads 49.7 percent to 47.3 percent over Romney, the Republican nominee. Just as striking, however, is that Mr. Obama’s air of inevitability is slipping, with 49 percent saying they expect him to win re-election — the first time that number has dropped below 50 since August. Another 38 percent say Mr. Romney will win. That 11-point gap is down from 22 points two weeks ago and down from 27 points in late September. Why do they bother giving us the national figures? It doesn't matter who wins the popular vote, (just ask President Gore) so why do they track that? There are 100 counties that decide who the most powerful man on Earth will be and most of these counties are in OH, PA and FL. Just give us the news that counts - please? Send e-mail to Bart I'm sure the Democrats will file a motion on Nov 3 to ask a judge to rule that Romney not be allowed to influence the election. As he does every four years, the judge will rule that the Democrats waited too long and dismiss their case. Democrats - they never change. Subject: Mitt's IRA (from last issue) Link Send e-mail to Bart Sexy Blonde wig - only $15.95 That's cheaper than one Viagra pill The Hottest Halloween costumes 2012 Ideas Obama has small lead in Ohio Link The latest tracking surveys continue to show a remarkably close race between Obama and Thurston, with Obama leading in crucial battleground states like Ohio that will likely decide the election. Eight new national tracking polls released since Saturday reinforce the conclusion that the race for president remains at a near deadlock nationwide. Three of the surveys give a slight edge to Romney, three give the edge to Obama and two show an exact tie, including the latest from NBC News and the Wall Street Journal. Can you imagine how horrible it must be to watch a lot of TV in Ohio? Send e-mail to Bart Subject: Thanks Bart.

George McGovern, 1922-2012 He was braver than all chickenhawks combined Link George S. McGovern was 90 when he died early this morning. He is best remembered for his disastrous 1972 presidential campaign against Richard Nixon, in which he only won a majority of votes in Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. Less than two years after his defeat, however, McGovern saw Nixon wave goodbye as he was helicoptered away from the White House after resigning in disgrace over Watergate. One popular bumpersticker of the time read: "Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts." That same year, 1974, McGovern won his third and final term in the U.S. Senate.

I know one thing — you will cover it in a very big fashion.” -- Trump, desperately trying to get somebody to pay attention to him, Link Hey Donald, grab Sarah Palin's ass the next time she's in public. That should get you both some great press. Send e-mail to Bart Subject: I love early voting I love early voting. I wish they wouldn't call it absentee voting because the word implies that early voting is only for people who can't make it on election day. I started voting by mail a few elections ago and I'm never going back. What I like about early voting is that I can take my time voting in my own home. I can sit there with my laptop and do research online while I'm voting. I already know who I'm voting for for president, but when it comes to the ballot issues I need time to think those through. There are also lesser candidates like judges and school board members running who I don't know it it allows me the time to make a good choice. If I want to take a few hours or a few days to vote I can do that. When I vote at the polls I feel like I need to hurry up and get done so that the people in line aren't waiting on me. I also have to not vote or skip the elections where I have no idea who these people are running for school board. Voting at home actually helps those who vote at the polls because when I've already voted, I'm one less person in line to hold up everyone else. And if you are in an area where there are long slow lines, voting at home might allow someone else a chance to vote at the polls because that's just one less person standing in line. It is also good for the county clerk's office because they can start counting the early votes at the beginning of election day and will have less ballots to count after the polls close. That gets the results out there sooner so we can all know who won. So I encourage everyone out there - if you never voted early - try it. Once you try it you'll be amazed like I was. It's like WOW! I'm never going back to standing in line again. Marc Perkel Send e-mail to Bart Marty's

Aside from not being relegated to binders (just kidding!), the answer may very well determine the outcome of the election. And so far, Obama and Romney are banking on very different sets of priorities held by the women they’re hoping to win – by which we mean primarily blue-collar, suburban so-called “waitress moms,” who are economically strapped but also tend to be socially moderate on issues like abortion. Thurston is hoping that those women care about jobs and not about being raped or forced to have their rapist's baby. Although he’s been skipping around like a Kansas City Geiger counter, saying in a recent interview that he did not know of any anti-abortion legislation he would push for, he’s really urging women to put so-called “women’s issues” on the back burner and trust that he's not lying like the world says he is. Whatever women want, they won't get it from Romney unless what they want is condescension, disdain and being ignored. Send e-mail to Bart Today's Mystery

Link Benghazi has become the focal point of a fierce debate over what role the United States should seek to play in shaping the new order emerging from the revolts of the Arab Spring, an issue that is expected to be a flash point in Monday night’s foreign policy debate. Yet Benghazi has entered the American political lexicon with contradictory meanings. To Romney, the city has become shorthand for the growing threat to the United States from Islamist militants — and what Romney advisers call the Obama administration’s “passivity” in the face of the menace. To Obama, Benghazi is also the place where moderate Islamists took up arms to defend American diplomats from extremists, a democratically elected president rushed to express his solidarity with Washington and thousands turned out to mourn an American envoy.

How do you prove your innocence? Seems to me the statute of limitations on doping charges ran out the day after he took the test that determined his urine was clean. For some reason, EVERYBODY in cycling wants Armstring taken down and I'm not hearing any honesty about why. Maybe it's because everyone in the world knows who Armstong is and NOBODY knows who #2 is.
