Early Voting Results: Who’s Winning?

The 2012 presidential election is tomorrow, but plenty of states have early voting. At least 30 million people in 34 states have already cast ballots by mail or in person. That’s a huge percentage of the overall popular vote – about 120 million citizens cast ballots in 2008, when Barack Obama defeated John McCain. Four years ago, Obama’s good fortune was foreshadowed by a surge in Democrats voting early. He’s banking on the same enthusiasm in 2012. Will he get it? No votes will be counted until Tuesday, but some states are releasing the party affiliation of those who vote early – a pretty good barometer of who they picked. This doesn’t tell us who will show up tomorrow, of course, and these aren’t actual votes, but registered partisans tend to vote their party 90-plus percent of the time. Check out who’s voted early in various swing states thus far: Colorado                Votes: 1.6 million               Democrats: 35 percent               Republicans: 37 percent               Florida Votes: 4.3 million               Democrats: 43 percent               Republicans: 40 percent               Iowa                Votes: 614,000               Democrats: 43 percent               Republicans: 32 percent               Nevada                Votes: 702,000               Democrats: 44 percent               Republicans: 37 percent               North Carolina                Votes: 2.7 million               Democrats: 48 percent               Republicans: 32 percent               Ohio               Votes: 1.6 million               Democrats: 29 percent               Republicans: 23 percent

The Side-Eye: Money Mitt And Lyin’ Ryan Swagger Jack President Obama’s 2008 Campaign Slogan Three Days Before Election – “We Believe In Change And Hope”

Romney And Ryan Use President Obama Campaign Slogan Three Days Before Then Election Can you smell that? It’s the ishtty smell of desperation….and the odor is coming straight from GOP headquarters where Money Mitt and his shady sidekick Paul Ryan are all out of stunts to pull. via MSNBC Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan echoed Mitt Romney’s call to vote for “love of country” not out of “revenge,” seizing upon a line of President Barack Obama’s. “Mitt Romney and I are asking you to vote out of love of country,” Ryan told a crowd at Marietta College. “That’s what we do in this country. We don’t believe in revenge. We believe in change and hope.” Ryan was referencing remarks President Obama made Friday, also in the battleground state of Ohio, that voting against the GOP nominee is “the best revenge.” The Obama re-election campaign, in an email statement, claimed the GOP ticket is “willing to say anything to win, but their rhetoric just doesn’t match reality.” Smh…

Ho Sit Down…NOW: Former President Bush FEMA Director Says President Obama Responded To Hurricane Sandy “Too Quickly”

First Donald Trump and now this shady azz character?? Former Bush FEMA Director Criticizes President Obama For Quick Response To Hurricane Sandy Did the GOP have  a bath salts and booger-sugar bash last night while President Obama was busy addressing the nation and doing his duty as President to help brace the east coast for the wrath of hurricane Sandy? Because this is the only rational explanation that we can think of for why these fools continue to go public with these dumb and dumber statements like this one.. via Think Progress Former FEMA Director Michael Brown offered criticism of President Obama’s early responses to Hurricane Sandy yesterday, including a dig at the administration’s response to last month’s attack in Libya. Yesterday, ahead of the storm’s pummeling of the eastern seaboard, Brown gave an interview to the local alternative paper, the Denver Westword, on how he believed the Obama administration was responding to Sandy too quickly and that Obama had spoken to the press about Sandy’s potential effect too early. Brown turned then to a reliable right-wing attack on the President’s response to the attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Benghazi that killed four Americans: “One thing he’s gonna be asked is, why did he jump on [the hurricane] so quickly and go back to D.C. so quickly when in…Benghazi, he went to Las Vegas?” Brown says. “Why was this so quick?… At some point, somebody’s going to ask that question…. This is like the inverse of Benghazi.” It must be azz backwards day. Cause that made absolutely NO sense. SMH.

In Down-Low White Folks News: Jessica Simpson’s Dad Joe Has Been Chopping Down A 21-Year-Old Boy Boo-Thang For Over A Year!

Youth pastor to daddy on the DL… Joe Simpson Had Affair With Bryce Chandler Hill A young, aspiring male model has been boasting that he has been having an affair with Jessica Simpson’s father, Joe , for the past year.. Via RadarOnline reports: Fresh-faced Bryce Chandler Hill, 21, has been bragging about dating 54-year-old Joe on/off for around a year and has recounted torrid details of their alleged trysts to various friends around West Hollywood. A source close to the situation tells Radar exclusively that Bryce met Joe Simpson through a mutual friend, who is very close to Joe’s daughters, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson. And the close pal says they believe that Bryce has been taking Joe for a ride and is using him just to get famous. “Joe Simpson being outed by the National Enquirer was no surprise to the gay community in Hollywood, Bryce has been bragging about hooking up with Joe for a while now,” a source close to Hill revealed. “Bryce is close to TJ Espinoza, who in turn is good friends with both Jessica and Ashlee and worked for Britney Spears as a back-up dancer. “TJ introduced Bryce to the Simpsons – and that’s how he met Joe. “Bryce claims he’s been dating Joe for roughly a year and absolutely loves to boast about it because he loves being the center of attention. He’s also been quick to tell anyone that will listen that he’s using Joe to climb the showbiz ladder. “Bryce is desperate to become famous, he’s done lots of modeling shoots and wants to become an actor. When he met Joe, he knew what a good job he had done in managing Jessica and Ashlee’s careers and wanted a piece of the pie himself. “But the sad thing is, he mocks and laughs at Joe behind his back. He doesn’t care for him in the same way Joe does about him. “Bryce has been boasting about this for months, but no one believed him at first,” the source divulged. A source close to the Simpson family previously told RadarOnline.com, Jessica was completely blindsided by her father’s reported gay bombshell. Damn, this isn’t good for the Simpson family, especially Jessica and her weight loss. Don’t people tend to pig out when they are depressed? Jessica is NEVER going to lose that chubby lumpkins steez now. Poor thang!

Madonna, who recently called the President a black Muslim in the White House , was booed at recent performance due to her support of him… Must’ve been a pretty conservative crowd because they got up and walked out of that joint! According to ABC News: Madonna drew boos and triggered a walkout by several concertgoers after she touted President Barack Obama on her “MDNA Tour” in New Orleans. The Material Girl asked during Saturday night’s performance: “Who’s registered to vote?” She added: “I don’t care who you vote for as long as you vote for Obama.” Drawing boos in touting Obama over Republican Mitt Romney, Madonna followed: “Seriously, I don’t care who you vote for … Do not take this privilege for granted. Go vote.” Madonna is often outspoken. Some Colorado fans, mindful of a mass shooting there, complained she used a fake gun to shoot a masked gunman in a recent concert act in Denver. A Madonna concert in Paris in July drew ire when a video showed a swastika on a politician’s forehead. SMH. Man, Madonna has had a tough crowd lately , but she is giving out the right message. Please get out there and vote!!!! WENN

Meat Loaf Destroys America the Beautiful at Mitt Romney Campaign Stop

A total trainwreck, and a Mitt Romney who looked more mortified than he would be in front of a convention for women’s rights… Meat Loaf Butchers America the Beautiful Note to Mr. Loaf: Listen to Lea Michele . That is how you sing “America the Beautiful.”
