The election is barely over and the spin has begun by the Right. They lost because:

1) Romney wasn't a real conservative
2) Romney ran a crappy campaign
3) The liberal media was biased
4) There was poll and voter fraud
5) Witchcraft and wizardry

Now, I know all of you think that this isn't why. But let me tell you something you don't know: they are absolutely right on all fronts. Let's talk more....

I have 2 friends who have been eagerly awaiting their absentee ballots from Florida and have not received them. Both registered Democrats. Her county office- Duval- is say that they received them.

Is it too late? Anyone have any ideas on what we can do to get these guys votes in?

Thanks!!

OWS is really annoying me

I'm really getting tired of the story that nobody knows whats being protested by OWS. And the only people to blame are people who are involved with OWS: the protesters and us on the left. You can be a leaderless, grassroots organization and still clearly spell out what you're after. They/We haven't, and so the media just spins this story about there being no clear demands, no clear reason for it.

This is so Democrat. Every time we lose an election, its because we try to explain too hard. Nuance. Detail. Republicans win because they have a bumper sticker. And its catchy. Our stuff is complicated, real-world kinds of things that people can't grasp so easily and black/white GOP talking points.

But I doubt it.

Another example of the corruption and sleeze that is our healthcare insurance industry.

If you haven't gotten the Facebook Dislike plug in for Firefox yet, you should. It's really fun to "dislike" everything that Sarah Palin posts. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

I recommend it... but be warned- its a bit buggy and slow to act. But a great first start.

Now have at it, people! Dislike that party of no...

That may be the best clip you'll see today. I could almost picture Sarah Palin saying it....

Whew!!

Calling those Indiana and Ohio voters was rough tonight- I just did about 20 calls into those states, and those people were not Obama people. Only 2 or so said they were voting for Barack. Nights like this make you remember why you have to run through the tape. You never know what's going to happen.

BACK TO THE PHONE LINES, ALL OF YOU. If you have time to read this, you have time to call :D

It has been disheartening tonight, but it just motivates me more, my friends. Can I call you that?

Sorry folks, we can't just hope people do the right thing and vote Obama in those states where racism is institutionalized. But Obama can't do anything about it himself. We need those good ol' 527s to do some positive work.

I hear that in places like MI, unions are working toward that. As an NYC ad-man, I think what we need is some real life 30 sec spots that get to the heart of it, don't patronize, and make the case. Here's my attempt (after the jump). It times out to 30 secs. What about you? Any ideas for a spot?

Fellow like-minded people:

Let us not forget that this a debate about principles and issues. I haven't. And so, today my wife and I maxed out our campaign donation to Obama.

If you have the means, now is the time. If you can only give a little each week, give as much as you can. We have to walk the walk, and not just talk the talk. With 50+ days to go, we can't wait anymore.

Money won't solve it, but money helps the campaign focus less on fundraising, and more on strategy, sticking to our talking points, and winning.
