Just had a call from an aquaintance high up in Ohio politics...

[brooklynite]

Things still looking good for Obama and Brown. Will get more details this afternoon.

[JustAnotherGen]

1. Thanks!

[amborin]

2. good

although I just received a donation email from the Brown campaign saying it is now a 1 point race
and the airwaves are being flooded.

perhaps you will post the donation link?

[Dalai_1]

3. Thank you!

[TrogL]

4. The CBC is calling it for Romney

They've been interviewing people who voted Obama in 2008 and say almost all of them are going Romney this time, citing the economy.

[regnaD kciN]

6. Who or what is CBC...?

[BlueDemKev]

8. Conservative Bull Crap?

[progressoid]

28. Cracked Brain Coalition

[blazeKing]

7. They must be correct then

Because the polls show Romney up HUGE in Ohio!

..............

[WI_DEM]

10. What polls?

[blazeKing]

15. I was joking ;)

[obamanut2012]

11. Maybe polls in Madeup GOP Delusion Land

[SidDithers]

17. FWIW, the humour impaired alerted on your post...

At Fri Oct 26, 2012, 11:58 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

They must be correct then
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=179034

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

again with the trolls

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Oct 26, 2012, 12:17 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Poster makes it abundantly clear, only 2 posts down, that they're joking in this response.

Dumbass alert. Read the freakin' thread before going troll hunting.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Ordinarily I would let stand, but this poster doesn't show anything to back up his claim. I've seen no polls indicating that Romney is up big in Ohio?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think either the alerter got the wrong poster or that the post was being sarcastic.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agreed. No sarcasm smilie to mitigate that comment, which is a lie.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Sid

19. It's understandable

Folks are a little on edge right now

[Firebirds01]

20. I was the one who alerted

I sent the alert at 11:58 AM, which is before you wrote the post that you were joking. I apologize for calling you a troll. Sorry I missed the sarcasm in your comment.


cheers.

[neffernin]

27. lol

Kind of hard not to sense the sarcasm there... Man, Nov. 8 is going to be a very stressful day (I only read the spanish on my ballot)

[CoffeeCat]

9. Uhhhh, No. No one is calling Ohio for Romney. No one.

Romeny has NEVER led in an Ohio poll.

Obama is up five in the latest NBC/Marist poll, in Ohio.

Even the MSM talking heads are now openly discussing how Ohio looks almost impossible for Romney. Five points is insurmountable with ten days left to go.

And Ohio's economic conditions are better than the national average. Unemployment there is seven percent.


I don't know what the CMC but they're wrong.

Joe Scarborough even acknowledged that a Romney loss in Ohio is highly likely.

[obamanut2012]

12. And I can tell someone on camera I voted GOP in 2008

But will be voting for Obama this time, when I actually voted for Obama in 2008. Anyone can lie.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

14. Could you please elaborate?

Who is CBC? Do you have a link? This is a bold statement and deserving of a
little more info.

[animalcrackers]

30. If the poster was referring to the Canadian CBC

Then this might be what they were referring too.

http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/TV+Shows/The+National/ID/2296713767/

Pretty much just a puff piece where a reporter goes around to previous locations Obama had photo op's in the 2008 campaign and talk to a few voters - some say they are for him, others say they think he's a good guy but might vote Romney or they don't know. Overall, I think the report is just trying to say it's a close race (according to the people interviewed). Though fwiw I am pretty sure the majority of Canadians support Obama (and don't think it would even be close).

[EmeraldCityGrl]

42. Thanks. Santa Barbara?

One of the most expensive places to live. I'd be in my car there too with a job.

[TrogL]

56. C'mon people, do your homework

My profile says I'm from Canada. That would make it the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

I listen to CBC 2 (normally on AM but I get the FM feed) which is mostly news and current affairs shows. In this format, there's time for longer interviews, typically 5 minutes. They did a long interview with a correspondent working for them in the US who had done a series of interviews in 2008, then went back and talked to the same people. They also looked at a variety of polling numbers, called Ohio a "battleground" and "lynchpin" State, and said Romney was ahead, and this late in the game saw no change in the numbers.

[Ztolkins]

16. Do you mean the Canadian Broadcasting Company

Because if so, that's just untrue

[BlueCaliDem]

21. The Congressional Black Caucus is calling Ohio for Romney??

[Maximumnegro]

31. LOL!

[JustAnotherGen]

39. Oh my

[cheezmaka]

54. LOL!

[TexasCPA]

24. Canadian Born Chinese

[JaneyVee]

25. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

33. The Cambridge Brewing Company?

They were just sampling a bit too much of the product that day. Nothing to worry about. They were also reported to say later that same afternoon that the Red God ale was indeed a deity, and was talking to them.

I blame it on the stress of the seasonal pumpkin fest they're having. It messes with a persons mind to be exposed to THAT much pumpkin on a daily basis.

[MSMITH33156]

36. Cannabis and Blow Coalition

?

[Phx_Dem]

53. LOL!

[cheezmaka]

55. LOL!

[skeewee08]

5. Unemployment is down in Ohio....

thanks for the info...

[barbtries]

13. please share when you do!

what about the chances of a steal by the republicans? this is my greatest fear and it is stressing the crap out of me frankly. plus i'm in NC which is a battleground state and if we don't go blue again my heart will break.

[heaven05]

22. ??

only skullduggery with the e-voting machines will allow mittsnake to win in Ohio. This connection to tagg rmoney worries me. But this time no silence and sheepilism if the election is stolen. The country will never be the same or go back with the election of Obama in 08. The white house is no longer an exclusive domain. and not all liberal/progressives turn the other cheek.

[barbtries]

29. thank you.

basically what i wanted to hear.

[gottavote]

18. And what will you do with these details? If you are not doing GOTV, you don't need it.

GOTV is critical. There are down ballot races too. Have you checked your sample ballot? If you can go to Ohio for the weekend, go for it. Smart people will be doing GOTV through election day. GOTV GOTV

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. K&R! nt

[zentrum]

26. Please ask him/her...

...what their strategy is, or at least what their thoughts are, about the purges, the ID laws, the machine flips etc.

We may have the turn out and the vote but what are they doing about the vote being stolen?

[brooklynite]

35. Don't think purges or Voter ID laws were a big issue in Ohio...

and as for machine rigging (sigh....), I don't think its a real issue because no elected official, candidate or Party officer that I've talked to (and I give enough money to get frank discussions with all of them) has alleged, publicly or privately, that this has happened.

[triplepoint]

34. Ohio Votes Will Be Flipped/Stolen by tagg romney's Voting Machine Company

(hit "1" on your phone's keypad when prompted)

[brooklynite]

37. So, just to be clear, the voting machines that were rigged in 2004 for Bush...

would not be rigged for Romney unless Tagg invested in the company? And if that's not the case, why is that continually brought up point relevant?

[triplepoint]

49. Of ALL the Companies in the ENTIRE WORLD That "tagg" could "invest" in...

He picks one that makes the electronic voting machines that are used not only in Hamilton County, Ohio, but other battleground states as well. It really is just a coincidence now isn't it jethro? Enjoy trolling this site do you?


You have to ask why a man who wants to run for president would invest in a voting machine company 1 year before he starts campaigning. Just laying the groundwork?

38. I got my first good look at Brown's opponent last night

He looks like an alien's attempt at creating a human being. I don't want him in the Senate telling me what I can do with my body.

[Divine Discontent]

40. isn't he peculiar looking? nearly androgynous and alien resembling, couldn't agree more.

first time I saw him I thought, how OLD is this person? and then thought he's nice looking but strange looking at the same time, then I heard him talk and thought oh my, he has nothing going on upstairs!

[wryter2000]

41. I think you hit on it

It's the empty look in his eyes, as if nothing is going on behind them. Creepy.

[Divine Discontent]

46. yes! the blank eyes! that's really the gist of it, and his empty responses

but those eyes!

[gkhouston]

51. Then he's got a solid future on Fox: most of their anchors appear to have slipped a chromosome. nt

[Maeve]

52. My military son and DIL watched one of the debates and immediately chose Brown

Mandel wants to close our bases in Germany to save money. Apparently, the ex-Marine doesn't know those are our evac hospitals and of vital importance to the wounded in the Middle East.

[daybranch]

43. As a commited volunteer leader

we win if we get more of our voters out to vote. I personally care nothing about the guesses your friend makes. If he is not working hard to get out the vote, maybe he needs to get busy. We have lots of rigged districts in Ohio and who knows what our republican controlled boards of election may allow under Husted's leadership.
Please quit indulging in prophesy and make your wishes hapen. Sign up with Organizing for America, Your county Democratic party or your union to get out the vote. We need in order of priority- 1. canvassers and drivers of canvassers, 2. Telephone recruiters for more volunteers, 3. Comfort captains and people bringing food and snack to staging locations. 4. lkitewrature and canvassing package assemblers and data entree people.
None of this is to imply superiority of any role over another but rather reflects our current needs.Lets not just get fired up, lets comit to beating Romney and the republicans.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

45. I thank you.

Both, for what you're doing and what you said, "we win if we get more of our voters out to vote."

You've the right of it, and I agree with everything you said. That is how elections are won. Everyone working there has my utmost respect, yourself included.

I wish I were able to be there to help with the ground game. All I can do from here is donate and make calls.

Thank you, and everyone there for giving your all. It is appreciated.

[TroyD]

44. The Senate numbers for Brown appear to have narrowed lately

What are your thoughts on that?

I notice the same thing has happened to Casey in Pennsylvania.

[Divine Discontent]

47. many people just vote down ballot so those who say they're voting Romney are more than likely

going to vote for a highly questionable choice for senate! he is nearly the polar opposite of Brown! UGH!

and his blank stare doesn't help my concern for Ohio if he were to win... but I think Sen. Brown pulls it out.

[GetTheRightVote]

48. Thank you...

for staying in touch with those who are inside,

[macisme]

50. Josh Mandel sign in Kentucky

on side the highway traveling south on 75 yesterday. Guess Ohio didn't want him so they tried to give him to Ky. No thanks! LOL
