We just got finished shooting a couple of interviews at Obama's national campaign headquarters. We'll have the video of those for you shortly. A national campaign office is a strange place the day before an election. It looks a bit like a frat house the[...]

Cheney’s hometown newspaper endorses Obama,
rips Bush legacy.

post from Think Progress on 03 November 2008 03:32:00 PM. © Think Progress

Today, Vice President Cheney’s hometown newspaper, the Casper Star-Tribune in Wyoming, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) for president. The paper endorsed Bush-Cheney in 2004. Today’s editorial states:

The next occupant of the White House will inherit a national economy that’s collapsing and two wars our nation has been fighting for years, depleting valuable resources we need to fix a multitude of domestic problems. Far too many of our nation’s citizens live paycheck to paycheck, worried about whether they’ll have a job next week or if a medical crisis will bankrupt them.
What America needs most in these troubled times is a president who will move the country in a positive direction. The candidate who is most likely to chart a new course that will lead us to better days is Obama. Moreover, he is the best candidate for Wyoming

The endorsement comes two days after Cheney campaigned for McCain in Casper. Thus far, at least 50 daily papers have switched from backing Bush in 2004 to supporting Obama.

Obama's Jewish Support

post from TalkLeft on 03 November 2008 03:26:00 PM. © TalkLeft

Sen. Barack Obama has received the endorsement of the country's leading three Jewish newspapers:

Here's a very moving video by Israelis who support Obama.

video details and more

More...

8% of Florida's voters are Jewish.

George W. Bush got an estimated 19 percent of the Jewish vote in 2000 and may have won as much as 25 percent in 2004. Republicans have sought to exceed that percentage this year. Even a small fluctuation could be significant in a state that was famously decided by 537 votes in 2000.

As for the polls:

A Gallup poll released on Oct. 23 had Sen. Barack Obama winning 74 percent of the Jewish vote in the presidential race, up 13 points from July.
A Quinnipiac University poll released the same day has Obama beating out Sen. John McCain among Florida Jews by more than 3-to-1.

Both candidates had outreach efforts to Jewish voters.

But McCain’s efforts to woo Jewish voters seemed to take a blow with his nomination of Sarah Palin, which spawned a second round of news stories — these about elderly Jews who were now grudgingly planning to vote for Obama. Between Palin and the burgeoning economic crisis, McCain’s poll numbers among Jewish voters appeared to take a late tumble.
By the time the election rolled into view, Republican proclamations about the Jewish vote had become more muted, and many observers suggested that, predictions to the contrary, the Jewish vote would not be seen as radically different from those of past years.

Forbes says Sarah Silverman's The Great Schlep made have had an impact.

Be Vigilant. Be Active. Call It In.

If you see something weird or discomfiting or arguably illegal going on at your polling place tomorrow. don't post about it here. Or, at least, don't post first.

You've got two choices tomorrow as to where to phone in your information, and I'm going to advocate doing both. First off, there's Obama Voter Protection:

Call 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (1-877-874-6226) and let them know what problems you're seeing. If you can't get through, use this online form and/or call your local campaign HQ.

Alternately, or in addition, I strongly encourage you to call Election Protection, a nonpartisan organization:

For immediate assistance, call the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline.
To report problems to Election Protection’s state teams through Twitter, use these guidelines.
Track incident reports received through the hotline at OurVoteLive.org
Keep an eye on voting issues as they are reported at the OurVoteLive Blog
Follow breaking voting news and issues at the 866OurVote Twitter account

We all love being able to break news here about what we're seeing, but what matters most tomorrow is giving that information to people who can do something about it . And then ... wait, what are you doing at a computer in the first place on Election Day? Get out there. Do More Than Vote.

Lawyers like me will be at polling places all over the country tomorrow to protect every citizen's right to vote in an atmosphere free of intimidation, coercion and deception. But we can't do anything if we don't know what the problem is. So don't post it here -- call it in.

Yes we can, except for Proposition 8 in
California

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
by Chad Rubel

We are so used to saying "Yes" and "Yes we can" on issues at the polls, but there is one key issue where "No" is the focus.

Those who do NOT want a change in the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California should vote NO on Proposition 8.

But it's difficult adopting the mindset of promoting "NO" as opposed to "YES." We like positive affirmative statements. In the case of Proportion 8 in California, though, NO is the YES.
