Democrats off to good start in early voting

[Mr. Roboto]

I'll be putting on my velcro sneakers and going down to vote with the old folks tomorrow.

The Obama administration cut taxes for middle-class Americans, expects to make a profit on the hundreds of billions of dollars spent to rescue Wall Street banks and has overseen an economy that has grown for the past five quarters.

Most voters don’t believe it.

A Bloomberg National Poll conducted Oct. 24-26 finds that by a two-to-one margin, likely voters in the Nov. 2 midterm elections think taxes have gone up, the economy has shrunk, and the billions lent to banks as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program won’t be recovered.

When you're willing to lie, lie lie, all day every day, people start to believe it's true. We WANT to believe in our leaders. It's a shame that they mostly want to exploit that for their own power and special interests.

Depressing to an extent. How hard is it to gather information these days?

Today I caught my wife simultaneously barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. Now tell me that isn't a sign of a coming Republican era.

Bravo sir, BRAVO.

I am sensing a schism going on behind the scenes with the GOP. Rove doesn't seem to like these 'baggers too much, and I am seeing others speak out against him. I think Rove is a prick liar, but I won't ignore the reality that he is a King Maker. If the tea baggers get too big for their britches and discount Rove they are going to get steam rolled in 2012.

That's always the trick though. Keeping all the pieces of your coalition together. If the GOP gets one or both houses, they will need to show the 'merican public that they are different than the group that was shown the door. The rabble-rousing Tea Party will want to change things but will find it difficult. The establishment GOP will want to maintain their gig and know they have to keep the Tea Party guys eyes on the big picture. Is the GOP leadership able to pull this off? It is a given that with Obama still able to veto stuff that the GOP won't have too much room to work in. So the race will be on to assign blame as to why nothing substantial gets done from now to 2012. If the GOP wins that fight then Obama will really be Carter 2.0. If Obama wins then he will be Clintonesque and reelected. Should be interesting. I prefer gridlock myself as government seems to work better when neither party controls everything.

Ha, well this should be fun to watch over the next few months. I'd imagine we'll be hearing from GOP hopefuls within what? Half a year or so?

Anybody want to give some pre election night predictions?
