If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth seeing, just for the Tara Reid reference alone: But making this more than the usual Fun thread around here is an amazing story of the most courageous voter today, down in Florida.  In Escambia County, Florida’s westernmost county on the Panhandle, there was a report of a woman falling in the parking lot. She broke her leg, but she still voted.  She was carried into the polling place by her husband so she could vote and then was transported to the hospital,” Detzner said. “We’re grateful for her interest and passion to vote.” Don't know if she voted for Romney, Obama, Rocky Anderson, or Mickey Mouse, but you will find it a difficult task to locate a tougher voter than this lady in America today. More great election stories and coverage from TWD later, stay tuned. UPDATED: Okay, that broken leg lady has competition: At 21, Galicia Malone of Dolton is eligible to vote for the first time in a presidential election.  ...

Image from Salon.com 1) One Salon boss Joan Walsh truly has another wonderful race uniting  American piece  that is certainly worth your time. 2) Richard Brodsky was doing great with this election sports piece until he wrote this paragraph  : But Obama is also a calculating candidate, who understands how sports resonate particularly with white guys, by far his weakest demographic. His careful forays into sports talk radio, Twitter, the Olympics, NCAA basketball and every hot sports controversy are ways of displaying his American birth certificate. He's clearly trying to become more likable, and one-of-the-guys among voters he needs. This was done while he was painting Romney as an out-of-touch, country-club, rich guy. It worked and even when his job approval ratings hit rock bottom, he won the likeability contest hands down. His interest in sports may be genuine. But his political skills are finely tuned, and he knowingly and effectively has used sports to good ...

Proud Maryland native and House member Elijah Cummings (D) really was annoyed this morning with Mo(u)rning Jo(k)e laughing off voter suppression efforts throughout the country from Republicans yesterday. And he certainly expressed that quite candidly to them face to face. Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news , world news , and news about the economy "This thing, I listen to you all Joe yesterday, y'all were kind of laughing about it. It's a very serious issue.   It's an emotional (issue) . I predicted a very long time ago that African-american people would come out in record numbers, and that is already happening in my district. They are coming out in records numbers because they do not like the idea that there seems to be a concerted effort to stop them for voting."   Scarborough blamed David Gregory, who is even worse of course, with his silence on the issue on Meet The Press all throughout the election season despite supposedly being...

This election has featured desperation by our centrist, corporate media to make this as much of a horserace as possible. Every chance of a poll showing a tight race has been ushered onto TV producer's laps with their hosts so happy to get the news of a race being so close. Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, the Morning Joe crew, and all the folks at CNN are always desperate for a nail-bitter, and have gladly mentioned any poll from any source to push that idea. But try as they might, with barely acknowledging Republican voter suppression efforts to not mess up their dream 2000 or 2004 narrative, it looks like it will not work whatsoever. And it will be incumbent (no pun intended) on many people requesting that polling organizations begin a fundamental overhaul of conducting their polls immediately. The obsession over highlighting racially excursionist "Likely Voter" models has been antiquated since 2008. Now you can apply that to mid-term election years, but with...
