The real danger I see is a too close to call vote in Fla or Ohio, or worse irregularities. Both states have GOP Secretaries of state and neither of them are above shennagins such as the ones plled in Fla. in 2000. I would rather see Romney win clearly than have another Bush v. Gore. Absolutely, DT. That's my fear; that it's too close and the Republicans will steal it. If they're going to win, I'd rather them win comfortably. We don't want the divide in this country to grow wider than it already is. Not to mention the fact that it would set race relations back at least twenty years.

Over the weekend, about four different polls came out showing a tie in PA. Both campaigns believe those polls which is why they have spent unusual amount of time in PA over the weekend.
4? Show me please. I've found only one. I remember Susquehanna and Pittsburgh Post Gazette and can't remember the two others. But Rasmussen has not updated PA in over a week and a half.

I have to admit, so many damn polls, different results of "closeness". It is confusing but the media is loving it.  I thought I saw a news flash that OH opened up either more facilities or extended voting hours. I sure hope so. I saw a guy on the news yesterday from FL (along with many others from FL/OH) who said he waited 5 hours to vote BUT read some people waited as long as 7 hours. That's awful.  Elections are not surprise events. Cities/counties/States KNOW when there's an election and should plan for it. Like everyone else, and as exciting as this is, I am so ready for this campaign season to be over....and I live in a Blue state so don't get anywhere near the political ads I can imagine the swing states get.

On Fox News, they report Romney will be campaigning on election day tomorrow in Ohio and PA. I've never heard of campaigning on Election Day before. Didn't Bush do the same thing in Ohio in 2004?

Not that I know of. Perhaps it isn't uncommon, I just don't recall ever seeing a candidate (for President) do it. Well, Bush was incumbent, but here you go: The White House also announced that Mr. Bush would break with usual practice and campaign well into Election Day, on a stop in Columbus, Ohio, en route to Washington after voting Tuesday morning at the firehouse in Crawford, Tex.

What was funny, when the Fox reporter asked why Romney would be in Ohio tomorrow, the answer was: "Romney has lost his lead there, and Obama has pulled into a dead-heat". Andrea Mitchell agrees, if PA is even in play, Obama is in trouble. I didn't know Romney had a lead in Ohio. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/andrea-mitche...-the-president/

Rupert Murdoch tweeted this: Everybody searching for any scrap of news about election tomorrow.plenty of straws to grasp for Romney, probably not enough. In other news, Willard's people leaked out that Christie was asked to attend a rally with him on sunday and reaffirm his endorsement/pledge to him. Christie declined. (I would say he blamed it on that bitch Sandy.) A little pissy leak, no?

You know, this is actually ingenius. Romney Charges Reporters for Election Night PartyMitt Romney "appears to be setting a precedent this election year in charging journalists and news organizations for any access to a presidential campaign headquarters on the night of the election," Mass Live reports. Romney "will be holding his election night gathering at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, where access costs anywhere from $75 for a chair in the ballroom to $1,020 for permission to use the media filing center. Broadcast news organizations will be paying up to $6,500 for workspace." "Obama's campaign party will be held at McCormick Place, in Chicago, and although his campaign is charging for premiums, credentialed reporters are granted access, which includes a workstation, electrical power and a wireless Internet connection, at no cost." http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/11/05/romney_charges_reporters_for_election_night_party.html

Thought a little humor might be needed for this thread. The Onion  My favorite recent one of theirs was this one. Romney Volunteers Going Door-To-Door To Let Obama Supporters Know President's Deadhttp://www.theonion.com/articles/romney-volunteers-going-doortodoor-to-let-obama-su,30253/ My fave was Romney promised PA voters he'd give them an hour with his wife in exchange for their vote. LOL!
