it's not that I don't see conservative yard signs up... it's just I don't see any Romney. I mean Romney has totally and completely written off my state with any kind of organizational effort. For Romney it is apparently all about "battleground" states because in non-battleground states he's not even trying. How does not even trying fire up the base?

This is too important to be gamboling about like a satyr in a wine induced state of euphoria. I'm resigned and steeled to prevent the second coming of Chimpy McFlightsuit from dry raping the asshole of the nation.

Last time I was excited, this time I'm scared to death. Fear is a great motivator.

She must be getting her news via gramophone recordings or something.

If Barack does well tomorrow night, a wall is about to fall on the Romney campaign.

after the election. Too many members of the MSM show too much glee in trying to tear Obama, Democrats, and Obama's supporters apart. Their blatant partisanship destroys any credibility that they might have. About the only one I really want to watch is Lawrence O'Donnell because he keeps a calm head and doesn't drink the kool-aid when Matthews and Shultz to the Chicken Little the sky is falling routines when they listen to other MSM personalities.

Born in Glasgow, Kentucky, Diane Sawyer is the daughter of Jean W. Sawyer – an elementary school teacher – and Erbon Powers "Tom" Sawyer, a judge.[1] Her ancestry includes English, Irish, Scots-Irish, and German.[2] Soon after her birth, her family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where her father rose to local prominence as a Republican politician and community leader; he was Kentucky's Jefferson County Judge/Executive when he was killed in a car accident on Louisville's Interstate 64 in 1969. E. P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park, located in the Frey's Hill area of Louisville, is named in his honor.

Sawyer attended Seneca High School in the Buechel area of Louisville. In 1963, she won the "America's Junior Miss" scholarship pageant as a representative from the State of Kentucky.

During the period from 1962 to 1965, Sawyer was "America's Junior Miss" touring the country to promote the Coca-Cola Pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair.

In 1967, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. There, she was a member of the Wellesley College Blue Notes, an a cappella group and Phi Sigma Lecture Society. She attended one semester of law school at the University of Louisville before turning to journalism.
