Yes, Dixville Notch, NH has spoken. The final tally: 5 votes for the eventual winner, Barack Obama, and 5 votes for tomorrow's big loser, Mittens.

I looked back at 2008 and was sad to see that we enjoyed a 15-6 lead at the end of Dixville Notch's vote, but at lease we're not behind.

A tie, sheesh.

UPDATE: Go back to bed, Wolfe, the tie has been broken, thanks to Hart returns and a whopping 23-9. Now I can go to bed happy.

I was thinking the other day how nice it is that a certain someone is unable to insinuate himself into the presidential contest this time around. Can you guess who it is?

Okay, as promised, and despite disapproval from some on this site, for those of you who have tried but just can't think of something to give our president for his 50th birthday, how about a donation to his re-election campaign?

Hell yes, I was mad that we didn't get tax hikes for the rich; hell yes I was despondent for a few days when the president didn't use the 14th Amendment and tell the tea-baggers to go fuck themselves; and yes, I almost pulled the Obama 2012 sticker from my car in the depths of my despair. But looking more carefully about what is in the bill and what is NOT, and what is protected by the language of the bill, I'm not nearly as upset. I'm still upset, but we live to fight another day.

I saw a poll today, and yes, I know, polls are all over the place, but while Obama's numbers are indeed lower, Congress' numbers are absurdly low. It's the poll CNN has been showing; I don't feel the need to stick a link here, but it had a 14% approval for Congress, 14%! Now, I know that the Rethugs got a lot out of this bill, but the right wing is not happy either; they wanted more. And for folks who don't live and breathe politics, Obama actually has come off as the more reasonable, level-headed adult-type person here. There will be a back-lash against the Rethugs if we stop fighting play this thing right. Not supporting our president's re-election is playing it wrong, and I was shocked to see a rec'd diary proposing that very thing. Yes, down ticket is important, but throngs of people coming out in support of a Democratic president at the top of the ticket helps those down the ticket just as much if not more.

To NOT donate to Obama 2012 is lunacy....

Just found this little link:

The speed with which all the "big" shots are dropping out of the race makes me wonder if there will be anyone left to run against Barack "Landslide" Obama. The Huckster, out. The Trumpster, out. And now Daniels is out too. Who's left?

There are some days when I'm sure that Edward R. Murrow rolls over in his grave; today would be one of those days, were that sort of thing possible.

AP's headline: "Nearly half oppose tax hikes on the rich!" !!!!!!!!!!!, Bold, underlined!!!!!!!

This is not a diary.

I've had it up to here (raises hand high above his head) with those on the left who say our president hasn't done enough, or that he hasn't done what he HAS done fast enough, or in the right way, or with the right facial expressions, or loudly enough, or in the right outfit, or with the right words (Keith? Rachel?), or with the right amount of anger, etc. Enough!

Those who don't fit into that category, please follow me below.

Okay, so this isn't exactly a diary, more of a vent, but what the hell, we're all feeling pretty good today, so here goes.

Last year more than 50% of the American people voted for change. They voted for Barack Obama who ran for president promising health care reform, among other things. One year later the people of Massachusetts, "leading" the way, have shown us that Americans have already run out of patience. What is the point of it all?

I'm guessing that since this is a progressive/liberal site (and thank goodness for that) most of us are anti-war by nature. I am no exception to this generalization. I was and still am against both Iraq wars, I think Vietnam was a mistake of gigantic proportions, and nothing makes me more sad than reading about the Civil War. But there are times, and sad times they are, when war is necessary; WWII is the greatest example of such times. Without military intervention, we would all be speaking German or Russian or Japanese at this very moment, figuratively speaking. Action was required, and action helped make America safe from its enemies. I wonder, though, how things would have fared for us if WWII had happened on our watch.

I've been a part of Dkos for over a year, basking in the collective glow of the Obama campaign last year and the subsequent victory last fall to reach the White House. But since that time I've noticed a disturbing trend.
