DOOM ANTIDOTE: Today’s your last chance to join the Romney Election Day Task Force and be part of the historic defeat of Obama and the Left!
[ Click above to join America's Comeback Team and beat the Left at GOTV ground game for the first time in history ]
Today is your very last chance to join the Romney Election Day Task force and become part of the historic defeat of Obama and the Left in a very big and important way. You can apply to the task force HERE…and in a day or so you will be contacted by the Romney campaign and assigned a role in the GOTV (Get Out the Vote) efforts for Election Day.
Why this matters and is actually so groundbreaking:
There are many cliches we hear repeated over and over and OVER again by the Ministry of Truth that is the national media (Minitru, for short) every election…and the most irritating one has long been that “Democrats have an impressive ground game and GOTV efforts”. For years, I’d hear that and my blood would boil because I’d think “What the heck is wrong with Republicans that they can’t get their stupid act together and do this better than the cat-herders of the Left?”. Well, apparently it took an accomplished and proven manager like Mitt Romney to get the GOP in gear because they are CRUSHING the Left on ground game this year.
Have you noticed that Minitru has completely forgotten the word “GOTV” in 2012? I have not heard a single story about get out the anything; it’s like ground game doesn’t exist on either side now, because in 2012 Republicans have a massive advantage that Minitru won’t report on. So, in typical Minitru fashion, they just pretend that no GOTV is happening at all, anywhere. As Michelle Malkin would say on her site, “Squirrel!” (and let’s all look somewhere else and pretend this good thing that Romney is up to is not happening at all).
Now, Democrats have always relied on two things for their GOTV efforts: union thugs and hired goons paid for with “street money” in urban centers like Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Detroit and Los Angeles. The Left has always paid for its GOTV efforts via the unions and the precinct captains in major cities that hire criminals, gang members, and thugs like the Black Panthers to intimidate people in poor areas to vote Democrat on election day (or else). That’s been the key to their GOTV for many years now, since at least the late 1980s.
Republicans, obviously, never had a built-in goon squad like the unions and they weren’t hiring black street gangs to drag people to the polls or threaten to kill them if they didn’t vote…so there was no GOTV on the GOP side for all these years. Republicans also weren’t willing to pay people to drive voter turnout, so the story was always that Democrats would keep their advantage here.
But, Mitt Romney really proved to us that he deserved to be the nominee this year because man alive what his campaign is pulling off here is INCREDIBLE. This is the most organized and well-run campaign EVER. They’ve finally made it easy for people to help in ways suited to them FROM HOME…and this Election Day Task Force identifies people’s strengths instantly and then finds the best way to utilize everyone. If you are in a state that’s competitive, then you might be assigned to work a polling place using your iPhone app to send real time info to the Romney campaign (including reporting any funny business you see Democrats engaged in). If you’re not in a swing state or a must-win state, you could be assigned to make calls to get people to the polls. I think those who are willing to drive people to vote can hook up with Romney campaign offices through this Task Force as well…and there are things to do even if you can’t spare the entire day on November 6th. Whatever time you have to give, and whatever strengths and talent YOU bring to the table, the Romney campaign can use YOU for GOTV efforts.
Just think about the magnitude of this.
Conservatives, at last, are trumping the union thugs and the paid street gangs and blunting the Democrats’ decades-long advantage.
All because of the leadership of Mitt Romney and his strategists in Boston who have FINALLY, at long last, devised a means to organize conservatives in a GOTV effort unlike anything that’s come before it.
Great Merciful Zeus, this is exciting.
So far, about 80% of my personal friends are taking part in the Election Day Task Force. My project today is to see if I can get that number up to 90-95%. Or more. Here’s how I am going to do it:
* I’m sending out a personal email to everyone in my private contacts list asking them to join the Election Day Task Force and letting them know that today is the last day to do so. I am telling them this is their chance to blunt the union thugs and street gangs who normally win election for Democrats via fraud and intimidation. If they ever wondered why Republicans never organized GOTV efforts and bemoaned that fact, well now that there is one they need to embrace it and join up today…because today is the very last day.
* Starting about midday today, I’m going to do a round of telephone calls to people I particularly know have the time or zeal to be involved and make sure that they know how to apply to the Task Force. I will try to call about 40 people I know to make sure they are on board.
* At around 5pm CST, I am going to send out a text message to my personal contacts asking them to please participate in the Election Day Task Force because this is the last day and their help is needed.
* I’ll use my Facebook and Twitter throughout the day to reach people as well…spreading the word that today is the very last day for joining the Task Force (so make today count and be a part of history here).
We can’t just win the election and defeat the Left… we really need to decimate Democrats and deliver the greatest smackdown a political party has seen in a century. Honestly, I want to watch Chris Matthews dissolve into a puddle of tears on election night. I want all of the MSNBC talking heads to fall speechless as they realize that Democrats destroyed themselves by pushing Barack Obama and his radical agenda on the country. I want the entire Left to howl like vampires doused in holy water because their time in power is over for 20 or 30 years or more.
The only way this all happens is if everyone I know takes part in this.
So, that leads me to this personal request to you. If you are a longtime reader or lurker or if you’ve ever enjoyed a single thing I’ve done here at this site, please join Romney’s Election Day Task Force today. If I’ve ever written anything that made you smile or you liked reading, please join Romney’s Election Day Task Force and help us bring down the Left in two weeks. Because we’re friends like this, please join me and the people I love the most in doing our part to help Mitt Romney do what was once thought impossible: to beat Democrats at ground game.
In the cartoons and movies I loved as a kid, there were times when something so big was happening (usually in a “very special episode”) where a giant super team of heroes would assemble for one large event…and the cast of characters would include all my favorites from all across the spectrum, working together at the same time towards something grand and historic. No matter what their individual talents were, teaming up like that for the big event was the means by which the sum total of their abilities were harnessed just that one time to achieve what seemed impossible.
You have talent. You have drive to beat the Left. You have been frustrated and angered by what Obama has done to the country for four years in office. You at times have felt scared and helpless as Democrats shoved through dangerous legislation without even reading it before passing it into law.
Well, now’s your chance to push back.
If you are tired of Democrats doing what they do and the Left bullying and intimidating people, well, the Election Day Task Force is essentially going to push back hard and drive these monsters all the way back to the Gates of Hell. You, too, can be part of that pushback.
Please apply to the Task Force.
Make sure all your loved ones know about it and apply too.
Make sure everyone at your church knows.
All the guys on your sports team.
Every lady in your club.
All your friends and neighbors.
Anyone who loves this country and detests what Obama did to it needs to assemble together into the super team that Mitt Romney’s assembled.
Be part of this. Help make history. And do something in the next two weeks that 50 years from now you will be so very, very proud of.

I signed up to be a poll watcher for early voting down here in Florida. My entire family waves signs at the busy intersections every week. We are having so much fun! I love seeing the young kids out waving signs with us. It gives me faith in our youth:)
At one of the sign waving events we had over a 100 at the end of a large bridge on a Friday afternoon. Some leftist called the police stating we were creating a traffic concern. The officer came by to make sure we were safely back from the road. He said have fun and by the way I am a Republican!! GO R&R 2012!
Maybe as a poll watcher you’ll have to keep an eye out for THESE people:
http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/263141-international-monitors-at-polling-places-draw-criticism-from-voter-fraud-group
It is absolutely unbelievable that “civil rights” groups are enlisting FOREIGN poll watchers from the United Nations – like we’re some third world country or something. The article states that there will be 44 poll watchers dispatched around the country, to select precincts. I wonder where those precincts are? Where exactly do they think all of these Republican “vote suppression” activities will be taking place?
Of course, once I started thinking about this rationally, I also realized that if the lefties are already screaming “vote suppression” it’s because they know the blacks aren’t going to come out in 2012 the way they did in 2008. And if Barky doesn’t get the votes from his peeps that he thinks are coming to him, they will scream “FRAUD!!!” VOTE SUPPRESSION!!!”
After all, prior to the first debate, they were busy setting the bar pretty low for Obama, and he did only disappointed them because he went way UNDER the low bar. So they set the bar low again for the 2nd debate, and he at least showed up, so they could say he won.
Amazing how the left always seems to show their hand and their fear by making the argument for losing, prior to the event.
OK, now I feel better.
There is something wholly insulting about this. The greatest country in the world needs a bunch of dictator sent watchers? I think most Americans no matter who you are would say “no thanks”.
Morris was on Pirro’s program last night. That entire program is worth watching, she has a way of getting to the heart of things like no one else. He spoke about this. He basically said that voting is a province of the states. Each secretary of state certifies the election results. He recommended that “any governor listening” ban these folks from their individual states.
She had three congressmen on last night. Have heard Devin Nunes on batchelor many times, you almost feel like you know him. Last night on Pirro’s program the three, two of whom are never at a loss for words, seemed to be carefully watching their words, it was odd at best.
Yup, idiots from the UN paid for by US. The irony is not lost on me.
Because poll watchers from the Ukraine know all about “fair” elections. Even sillier is what do these foreign poll watchers know about US elections? We have different rules and regulations.
I swear I want the UN out after the US elections! They’re nothing but a commie organization now with fantastical dreams of world domination. It’s sick!
Unfortunately, I’m over here in Japan, but I do have two US neighbors from Washington State who have filled out their absentee ballots and are voting straight ticket republican. So that’s two for Romney/ Ryan!
Big Fail for the Lefty
Just got a funny…Obama-wear, available on their campaign website, is now discounted in a “last call” sale by 30%.
Not selling so well this year?
Remember the “last chance to get your free bumper sticker email?”
What is disturbing is that in order to get on their website you have to donate or give an email sign in, from day 1. Always wondered about that, they want no voter ID but their website is hard to get into.
It most probably isn’t selling because most of his ‘peeps’ are out of work. Way too many Americans don’t have a paying job.
maybe they can sell the merchandise to funeral homes…. but then again
“I would not be caught dead wearing that stuff” !!
You are right, and when I went to Left Leaning Liberal Ladies, they were saying they had enough T-shirts and stuff..didn’t care if they were on sale or not…..
The bloom is definitely off the rose for better informed Obamabots.
On the Romney social feeds, you still get the ones that can only quote whatever MSNBC has told them…..it is really mind bogging!
BEST YARD SIGN: In the very leftist (oops, almost said the word) town of Mt. Lebanon (suburb of Pittsburgh) the Obama signs slightly outnumber the RR signs. But on one block there seems to be a little one-up-man-ship going on. I saw a FORWARD sign as I drove past and just assumed that it was another Obama sign. I slowed down to read it. Yep…Big FOWARD, and it showed a Jackass jumping off of a cliff and there were these little sheep following right behind him!! This wasn’t a home made sign. Two people on the block had one as a response to the Pennsylvanians for Obama signs that were on the rest of the block. I want one!!
That reminds me of an “Obama Biteme” sticker I saw on the LIE (long island expressway) … I had to look closely to see it wasn’t Obama Biden sign. The driver was a young guy in a suit w more suits hanging in the back seat … A business guy on his way somewhere. I cheered!
I signed up in CO about a month ago and was assigned to Project ORCA – it is very exciting! As a result, I won’t be doing any of Kevin’s great recipes on election day; but, come the weekend, we’re going to pull the family together for a royal feast. I ordered the lasagna pan, Kevin, because we’re friends like that
What lasagna pan, what did I miss?
It’s a great pan! Kevin’s mentioned it several times. Go to yesterday’s HillBuzz post:
http://hillbuzz.org/planning-your-debate-watch-movie-night-or-romneyryan-victory-party-menu-ideas-to-celebrate-mitt-romney-and-paul-ryans-big-win-in-2012-2012
It’s about halfway down the post. If you order it by clicking on the Amazon link Kevin provides, HillBuzz gets a percentage of the $ you spend to help defray operating expenses.
(BTW, I plan on doing any Christmas shopping I do with Amazon by linking thru HillBuzz. It won’t cost me any extra and it will help support the site!)
Elinor –
Thanks so much for this. It really helps a lot. If people who like HB would always click on the amazon link we have to get to that site then we’ll always get a little help for our servers via Amazon ads fees. And it doesn’t cost anyone any extra.
I love that lasagna pan. What’s fun about it is that there are three separate compartments so I make things a little different in each one. For instance, i don’t eat a lot of dairy but Justin loves cheese….so one of the lasagnas I make cheesey for him and in another compartment I make mine with less cheese.
I use red sauce on the first two and then for Justin I also make a white lasagna with ham and chicken and alfredo sauce instead of beef and sausage and red sauce.
Sometimes I make him a mushroom and spinach one if I can find nice mushrooms at the Jewel.
I am known for my lasagna. I make homemade sauce and hubby grows the fresh herbs. I’m going to ask for the pan for Christmas with instructions to everyone to click on Amazon through hillbuzz. So whoever buys it will do it that way.
Ok, i’m going to order that pan with some of my birthday money.
Kevin,
Have you ever made lasagna with a béchamel sauce instead of ricotta and mozzarella? I got a great recipe off Smitten Kitchen and haven’t used cheese since, the recipe calls for whole milk but you can use any kind including lactose free and it will work.
I replace all milk with almond milk (unsweetened) and I am really happy with how everything turns out doing that.
I really love almond milk. It’s only like 70-cents more than regular but I can’t drink the regular anymore…and the vanilla one (that you can’t use in savory things though) tastes like a milk shake to me. I buy ice cream for Justin but I always get sorbet for me. I’d love an almond milk ice cream if they ever make one.
If you had an ice cream maker you could make your own almond milk ice cream
Kevin, I don’t know who you use for web hosting but you should check out DownTownHost (http://www.downtownhost.com). They have some very reasonably priced plans (Various sizes of plans too) plus it is a smaller company so the staff is very nice, dedicated and help with problems quickly.
Thank you so much. Everyone on this site is so lovely.
I did it. I signed up yesterday.
I did too, Kevin and mentioned you as the reason!
Here is an interesting little tidbit.. Barry apparently isn’t doing the traditional election day photo op and is just voting early with an absentee ballot. That just strikes me as really strange.
The other day Michelle Obama said she voted already for Barack. And then they said he would vote before the election, no president has ever done this.
I too think this is really odd.
I’m sure the Romneys and Ryans wll do the traditional voting thing that people actually look forward to seeing.
Image unfortunately matters in politics, and the whole election day photo op is sort of an election day tradition. Why they would seed that imagery to Romney and Ryan is beyond me. The last image that many people will have of Ryan before they vote is of him and his cute kids at the polling place in Janesville. And this will be after the photo op of him taking his cute kids trick or treating around Janesville about a week earlier.
Let’s see in Obama’s family: Just him and Michelle can vote. Their daughters are too young.
Romney: Him, his wife, their fives sons, and his sons’ wives. (I don’t know if their grandkids are old enough).
That’s 2 for Obama and twelve for Romney. I swear this election could almost be won on Romney’s extended family alone.
This is why leftism is doomed, they spend more time aborting kids than having them.
As for Mormons… outbreeding muslims (or keeping on par, but outdoing them when mortality rate is taken into account) for the past decade.
So I swear Romney and his whole family and extended family could be quite a demoralizing photo for the left.
Maybe they are spending the day packing. Michelle voted absentee earlier this week.
That strikes me as hilarious. He’s losing and he knows it. I wonder if he’s got people scoping out bathhouses in Oahu for him yet?
I have been thinking about signing up for awhile, and I just did. By the way, here in NC (South of Raleigh and into Fayetteville), I’m only seeing R/R signs and lots of them. Even saw a pickup with a homemade huge R/R sign in the bed of it and American Flags on the cab. Kind of reminded me of the days after 9/11 with all the cars with american flags. Also saw some pre-printed post notes in the post office about firing obama on nov 6. I love it, I love the energy I am seeing, and I love that I am seeing American’s rally. It’s a very positive energy, but one of substance. This isn’t just hope. It’s a pent up energy. Americans are ready to work.
On the radio the other day, Rush said something, and it’s something I’ve been thinking all along; the day after Romney gets elected, business is going to open up – IE people will start taking risks again, because we know we will have a fighting chance. I think business owners know it’s going to be a rough go still, but we will do what American’s have always done, roll up our sleeves and get to work. I get the same feedback from business owners, real estate agents, etc; people are just waiting, waiting for this election, waiting for him to win, so they can steam forward. Not a government directed forward, but the American people have FAITH in Romney’s integrity. There is ZERO of that with the current administration. I don’t know if they realize it yet, but this administration has essentially become a caricature of itself. It is doing all the things we expected it to do, fudging numbers to make themselves look good, etc, but it’s too far gone, most Americans have caught on and the only joke is the one on themselves.
At this point too, I don’t see Obama as a decision making entity. When he said “you didn’t build that”, it’s because it’s a reflection of his life… he didn’t build his life, everyone else did for him. He uses people, they use him. People’s true thoughts are often a reflection of their lives and experiences. The reason he so firmly believes that statement is because his whole life he has not done one thing for himself. I have never not seen our president as a leader, but I can’t help but see him as just a pawn. He is a pawn in-line with their own thought pattern,but still a pawn.
Romney is his own person. Bush was his own person. Clinton, his own person… hell even Carter was his own person, as poor as his policies were. But this man, he is like a whole bunch of people. He is what polls well in the moment. Every damn thing they call the Romney out for doing, it is exactly what they do. People evolved, people change. Romney is not perfect, but he is the perfect president for this situation. He is a product of America. I am looking forward to the day he is elected. I am looking forward to seeing him and Ann in the White House. I will go to the inauguration unless my hands are absolutely tied and I can’t get away. Rather than waving goodbye to Obama, I want to see a man of integrity sworn in again. He has all the makings of a great president. He is a good man, with a good heart. And that is the best way I can describe “Americans”. Good people with good hearts. These leftist bs’ers may talk louder, but goodness will prevail.
“He is a good man, with a good heart. And that is the best way I can describe “Americans”. Good people with good hearts.”
Just so. That alone makes Romney the better candidate.
I also look forward to the way President and Mrs. Romney will respect our nation’s “civic religion” … putting dignity back into the White House, our “civic cathedral”, instead of jumping jacks and burlap sack races in the East Room and all the other things Mr. and Mrs. Barky have done to disrespect and insult our people and our traditions. I’m looking forward to presidential dignity and an attitude of responsibility toward the generations.
And… I bet Mitt doesn’t put his feet on the furniture!
My kids just saw the picture you had of Romney/Ryan on your last post about Election Day food and asked me who they were. I told them that it was future President Romney and Vice-President Ryan after mommy and daddy go vote for them in the next two weeks. They are 3,4 & 5. My children will be raise conservative despite being in public school.
Early voting starts tomorrow in Texas, seems like a good enough day to go vote
You should take them to vote with you. You’ll make a memory and create future voters.
Good for you! I have a picture of the Chinese student standing in front of the tank on my refrigerator, with all my “I “Voted” stickers. My kids were finally old enough to ask me about it, and I explained that when they are 18, they are responsible to vote, in every election. They are now 21, 23, 25, raised in Southern California, and educated in public schools, and vote Conservative. It CAN BE DONE!
My husband and I just had “the talk” without daughter. We’ve always been very careful to not let on our disappointment with Obama. As badly as we talk About him in private, we have been anxious to not sully her natural awe that the office, if not the man, deserves. We explained that Obama is not a bad person, that he is a dad with little girls who love him very much, that his wife also loves him but that it is time for a new president, President Romney (glow!). A Romney win seems like a foregone conclusion but I’ve signed up for the team as requested : )
We still have time to get the message out to our undecided friends about what is at stake in this election. The corrupt media has not said anything about obama’s silent war against the Catholic Church and other religious organizations. There is an assault against our first amendment rights. The HHS mandate in obamacare. Please listen and pass this on.

If you did not make it to church this morning, maybe this will count
Wow, leah, that was powerful. Thank you for posting the link to that sermon. I have passed it on. I am not Catholic, but what that priest said is a call to arms (and for any leftist lurkers out there, no, I don’t mean actual weaponry) for all Americans.
I’ve driven past at least one yard sign saying “PRESERVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.”
I have even seen a small billboard with a crying Statue of Liberty, with the words “Bill of Rights under Obama,” with “religious liberty” crossed out, and then asking “WHAT”S NEXT?” It’s in a good spot, and everyone can see it while driving along.
Thanx Leah, I passed that homily on to my mailing list, including priests. I made a mistake thinking it was today’s homily so I had to remail it with an addendum with the right date on it.
I have three bumper stickers, one says, “I’m Catholic and I vote!” I wish everyone in the country could hear this homily, though.
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing.
I’m passing it on, but I honestly feel that so many Catholics really don’t care to listen. They don’t want to know the truth. It’s sad.
I’m being mocked on FB now because I’m Catholic and pro-life. I’ve been defriended by some Catholic friends who work FOR OUR CHURCH and Catholic school because I’m pro-life. They see absolutely nothing wrong with abortion.
Sometimes I feel I live in upside-down world.
I signed up the Romney campaign and I’ll be leaving on the 2nd of November until the 6th to cavass in Nevada. They were booked up every weekend until then.
I’m so jealous! I’m a mom of four little ones which sidelines me a bit. I can’t wait to participate in this kind of thing when they are all in school!
Hubby and I watch the morning shows when we can. Meet the press opened with F. Chuck Todd and David in extacy over the new poll. They were thrilled with the tie, said men were breaking for Romney but women by 8 points were breaking for Obama, this thrilled them to report. Of course they love to think women have no brains only private parts. They laughed when they said “both campaigns think they are winning”. But of course, they know Obama will win, and you can tell that from the snarky way they reported all of this.
I think this whole election cycle we’ve all known the polls are fairly well skewed, but a funny thing has happened recently. Early voting. For the first time there are actual facts at play and I think they show Ohio is essentially already in the column for Romney.
First, Saturday’s Ohio polls:
Gravis shows 47-47 with a D/R/I of 41/32/27
PPP shows Obama up 49-48 with a D/R/I of 42/34/23
I think we all inherently know these splits are absurd. In 2008 the split was 39/31/30 and in 2010 it was 36/37/28. In all likelihood, for all the known reasons, the split is going to be much closer to 2010 than 2008, but even if we split it down the middle, it’d be something like 37/34/29, which is well off the above polls. And both polls have Romney up among independents (by 19 and 9 respectively).
But the real story I think is the early voters. I saw this posted at Ace of Spades, that while PPP shows that 21% in their poll have voted early, the actual, factual, real life number is 11%. Their poll is oversampling early voters by 10 points, which points to a couple of things:
1. It reflects pretty clearly the D+8 oversample.
2. Obama is winning pretty clearly among early voters. Taken together I think this shows that those who are likely to vote early are also more likely to answer a poll, in this case again resulting in an oversampling of Democrats.
Based on all this, I think it’s pretty clear that Romney is going to win Ohio by more than 5 points, which is more than Obama’s margin for victory in 2008.
The Ohio Secretary of State’s office says 400,000 have already voted. Off hand, I don’t know how many Ohioans will vote, but 400K doesn’t sound like much when compared to how many voted in 2008.
I canvass for Romney here in Ohio. As a part of my script, I ask our supporters if they’re interested in early voting. The vast majority say no- that it’s cheating the system or just not right.
Regardless, people who vote early already are lock-step for whoever they vote for. Indies are the people who matter, and of course making sure our people get out.
the difference in the number of early voters is probably the fact that this year the graves are remaining sealed.
I went to the site and put my info in but it wouldn’t take because I don’t have a cell phone. A few months ago I had to cut corners because money was tight and I didn’t use it enough to justify paying for it.
Same thing here. I tried to sign up with Romney HQ but couldn’t because I don’t currently have a cell phone. Cost is around $70-80 per month and since I retired April 30 I haven’t needed to use a cell, so I can’t see rationale for spending that kind of money.
I’m pretty sure you can sign up on the Romney website to make phone calls (separately from the election day task force) any time you have a chance, from now until the election. You don’t need a cell phone to do this. http://www.mittromney.com/call-home-landing
Here’s an alternate link: http://www.mittromney.com/states
First you find your state and then they give you choices as to how you want to be involved and you can give your information including a land line phone.
For your cell phone number, you can put in all zeros and it will accept it.
Now, PLEASE, go back and register!
Kevin, last night was reading and some here said they will kiss the ground, drop to their knees and pray, etc. One person said “ring a bell” That sounded really interesting. Like the liberty bell.
Can you and that person start a trend?
To Team Romney:
How do you define terrorism? “Workplace violence” or terrorism?
The Fort Hood shootings are still an issue to be dealt with. Major Hasan is sitting in jail and still receiving his taxpayer funded military pay. Outrageous! Why? Because Obama will not label this horrific act terrorism.
This administration has failed our military.

Ok, I’ve never done something like this but I just signed up. I have two little kids so I don’t know if that will disqualify me but I said I am willing to help if there is someway I can help with them in tow.
Awesome article. This is a great idea that you may want to share with your readers: http://www.youtube.com/embed/FVLOZuGM1BM?feature=player_detailpage Get out and make a difference!
Kevin, thanks for the reminders. This last one was the nudge I needed to sign up. I’ve been on the fence as I don’t have a lot of time but even a few hours is better than nothing. I spend a lot of time commuting between the kids’ schools and volunteering, but I figure this time spent for the Romney campaign is for my kids too.
We’re going to hand NEW MEXICO to R/R.
Let’s do this people!!!!
I signed up for the task force yesterday for the entire day and credited hillbuzz! I’ve ordered three Romney yard signs and a couple of other rally signs.
Also, my step-father (calling him that is being generous) is a die-hard leftist and recently told me he was disappointed in Obama and wasn’t sure if he was going to vote for him. I told him that if he couldn’t vote for Romney, then to stay home. My husband and I help him occasionally (monetarily), and I told him that if Obama wins we won’t be able to help him, that we’ll ALL be on food stamps! I think I left him speechless… (and I loved it!!).. hope he thinks long and hard about that!
I am going to do my part to help put NM in the Romney column!!
I just signed up for the task force Kevin! I can’t wait to be part of history! I’m in the belly of the beast…a suburb of Columbus OH. I’ve been out of town for a week and driving to church this morning I’m happy to say there were new Romney signs everywhere!!! The 3 neighborhoods I drove though we’re blanketed with RR signs. The 2 obama/biden signs I saw have been up for months and no new ones have risen from the depths of …well you know.
I drove though Des Plaines, Mt Prospect, and Rolling Meadows this morning and saw one Obama sign. Just one. I don’t ever remember a presidential election where either candidate had such a poor showing of support. Do you?
All of the polls are in some part based on the 2008 party split (Dem +9) this makes them a useless waste of time. Obama isn’t going to get anywhere near that number to turn out. Use your eyes and your common sense. Don’t accept any paid political hacks polling. The DNC sag this year is significant. It may be as significant as ’88.
Kevin, I just signed up to help. I know that AZ is going to go Romney/Ryan…but I want to do everything I can to help them achieve a landslide! I want to wipe that smug look off Obama’s face!
Congressional races, and Senate seats are also something we need to concentrate on. I want to see if there is something I can do there as well….
I was thinking about this post some more and unreported Republican ground game actually reminds me a lot of the 2004 election. All I remember reading and hearing about then was the Democrats had a huge ground game and much better organized grass roots support and that was going to be the difference in the election. And then Bush received more votes than any candidate ever.
It was only after the fact that I started to read about Karl Rove’s amazing ground game and GOTV campaign. But just yesterday I read about one of the Tea Party groups expects more than one million volunteers on Election Day, that’s just incredible.
Yesterday the Obama campaign paid for Sandra Fluke, the poor girl who can’t afford birth control, to speak in Reno Nevada to a crowd of 11 people.
Are they insane?
Honey, it was only TEN people who showed up for Fluke. Bawahahahaha!
(I wonder if one of them was her OB/GYN? Seeing as how much business she must give him, it should be the least he could do in return.)
I have already registered for the Task Force… I even arranged my schedule to do it the entire day on Nov. 6.
Two years ago I was in graduate school at future VP Ryan’s alma mater. It was a Political Science program, and I was the only guy who wasn’t a committed leftie Democrat. I remember on the day of the midterms, they were all dispirited, one of them openly said in class that “all the racists will be voting today.” I keep in touch with a few of them on Facebook now. A few weeks ago when I posted on FB about the Obamaflag poster, one of them remarked about the “sinking ship that is the Romney campaign.” I’m intending on Nov. 7 to message him, asking him “can you clarify what you meant earlier about the ‘sinking ship of the Romney campaign?’”
Spitmanfl- I seriously intend to buy some Obama merchandise- eventually they’ll be worth something. But I only intend to do it AFTER the election- I don’t want my money going to them till then. BUT- you can still order a free Obama bumper sticker online- a little way to drain their coffers.
DG- Remember, there were international “poll monitors” here in 2004. After the election, while the Dems were crying about “fraud,” the monitors didn’t say a thing. From what I understand, they were content with how things went. Democrats will call for monitors in any election they think they may lose… they feel entitled to power.
Good to know about the free bumper sticker! I’ll do the same!
Look through the archives on this site. Kevin wrote a post about them last month, with a link. That spares you the pain and agony of having to go through the entire Obama BS.
This was on CBS. It’s so utterly positive toward Romney … wut ???

lethargic…just watched this. It is TERRIFIC! We all need to share it with all sphere of influence! Thanks for posting this!
Just a question – what do you all make of this October surprise? The purported talks with Iran to halt their enrichment program. Do you all think that could make a game-changing play in either tomorrow’s debate or the election? Just wondering. Thanks!
Both the US and Iran have denied the rumors. (Reuters) Here is what I could dig up:
Saturday: The New York Times, quoting unnamed U.S. administration officials, had said on Saturday that secret exchanges between U.S. and Iranian officials had yielded agreement “in principle” to hold one-on-one talks.
Saturday: The White House on Saturday denied a report in the New York Times that said the Obama administration had agreed to one-on-one talks with Iran on its nuclear program.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement the United States would continue to work with fellow permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany to resolve the issue.
Sunday: DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran followed the United States on Sunday in denying that the two countries had scheduled direct bilateral negotiations on Iran’s controversial nuclear program.
“We don’t have any discussions or negotiations with America,” Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi told a news conference. “The (nuclear) talks are ongoing with the P5+1 group of nations. Other than that, we have no discussions with the United States.”
another site mentioned that this was an idea floated by the White House to guage reaction. Consider it as not true.
The US had been off and on with bilateral talks with the Iranians in the past. Each time they have used it to stall further sanctions and the US looked like stooges in the end. If this is true, just more of the same. Obama is such a novice and so wants to be loved by anyone in the ME (except Israel) he probably will say,”Hot Diggity”. But he will be using it as a puff piece in Tomorrow’s debate. It will not offset, Libya lies, Dead Ambassador and Aides, Fast and Furious, Israel under the bus and…….
Just read that Sam Walton gave $1M to Obama Super PAC. While I’m staunchly in favor of freedom and don’t object in principle to this donation, there are consequences for the choices we make, which I also strongly believe in. I sent Walmart a note that we (my family) would no longer shop at Walmart, because I don’t want our money going to support the re-election of Obama! Article is in yesterday’s Washington Times, by Luke Rosiak.
If you agree…please tweet, email or contact Walmart and let them know! At the very least, I’d be pleased to see a matching donation to the conservative Super Pac…
What do you recommend for the best place on TV or Cable networks to watch election returns? Some of our neighbors already accepted our invitation to an ice cream victory celebration (thanks Marla!), so I want to have something on in the background … ?
lethargic,
Screengrab this because it is the only time ever that you will see me write this…but you should watch MSNBC on election night.
Seriously.
It will be so entertaining.
They’re all going to have meltdowns, all day. It will be like watching Greek theater.
We should start a pool for the exact time that Chris Matthews:
a) goes catatonic
b) calls Jerry Brown and orders him to personally vote dem for every californian.
c) starts foaming at the mouth
d) attempts to cut his jugular with a pen
watching Tingles get his cuppance should be very funny.
I saw how he reacted to the first debate. When doofus loses it is going to be hilarious to watch the meltdown.
I signed up too! If Minnesota is in striking distance then you know it’s going to be bad. I’d like to help get people to the polls. I will e-mail my friends as well. It’s no longer will Romney win but by how much!
I volunteered
. I am in TX now, so maybe they’ll have me make calls. Anything to destroy Obama and his Orcs from hell.
We saw 2 Obama/Biden yard sign yesterday (FL Space Coast). I saw one in a yard, too far away to read, then I saw one among local contests on side of road. It was medium blue on the bottom half and a soft red on the top half, In very small white print where the two colors met was OBAMA-BIDEN. It was almost impossible to read 20 feet away. I’m wondering if they don’t want to win!
Has anyone else seen this sign?
Senate alert!
**Please keep in mind these numbers are based on an inflated dem turnout. Use this solely to help motivate anyone you know in these states. If we get any three of these we control the senate.
Massachusetts (D pickup) Real Clear Politics Average: Warran 48.0%, Brown 46.3%
Missouri (D hold) Real Clear Politics Average: McCaskill 45.8%, Akin 43.5%
Connecticut (D hold) Real Clear Politics Average: Murphy 47.0%, McMahon 42.%
Virginia (D hold) Real Clear Politics Average: Kaine 47.6%, Allen 45.4%
Wisconsin (D hold) Real Clear Politics Average: Baldwin 48.4%, Thompson 46.0%
**Again these numbers are based on polls that expect a 6 to 9 percent democrat advantage. We are that close. We can take the whole ball of wax and Obamacare dies! If you know anybody in these states let them know how important their vote has become.
Here’s how the Senate races are REALLY going to turn out:
Massachusetts = (R), Brown wins easily
Missouri = (R), Akin beats McCaskill
Connecticut = (R), though I’m torn because it’s just my gut saying it but McMahon is doing better than the media admits
Virginia = (R), Allen beats Kain
Wisconsin = (R), Thompson wins
I also feel in my gut that Linda Lingle beats Lazy Mazie in Hawaii for a shocker. She did it before in the Governor’s race. Why not the Senate this year?
I think almost all Democrats are going to lose their Senate races.
Mandel will win in Ohio too.
That’s another one.
From your lips to God’s ears, Kevin! Thank you so much for saving my sanity with HillBuzz this election season. My mother is still a bit of an eyeore, but she watches NBC, reads the NYTimes, and lives in NY, so what can I expect. I told her today that Romney’s going to win, and it’s only a question of how much of a beat down it’s going to be, and I told her to check out HillBuzz. I think you are right about Scott Brown — even my lefty neighbors, who plan to vote for Obama and Joe Kennedy version 3.0 for congress, can’t stand her and said they won’t vote for her. By the way, we have a Romney volunteer, the assistant to a friend of a friend of my husband’s from DC, who has been living with us from the end of September and will stay until the election, working full time at Romney headquarters in Boston. She says the internal polls are very good for Romney and looking like an epic victory.
If the dems are a disgusted with Obama as I suspect, I agree.
I was just trying to make sure once again that nobody falls for more inaccurate polls based on bad data. Polls have become a tool of the media to suppress republican turnout. It’s the only explanation for them to assume that democrats will turn out like they did in 2008.
I’m worried about Jeff Flake in AZ, I heard his interview on Mark Levin’s show. There’s a Libertarian on the ballot which is drawing away some voters and apparently the primary battle did some damage that he is trying to overcome…would love to hear a ground report from someone in AZ. If anyone is able to make calls to help his campaign, we need to jump in. FreedomWorks is targeting this race and you can make calls from around the country…
http://www.freedomworksforamerica.org/candidate/jeff-flake
I suspect these numbers are manufactured because Brown has been ahead of Warren.
Kevin, I sure pray you are correct about Mazie. can’t stand her, you should see her ads, lies out the yin yang.
If you go to the commisblaster.com. Plenty to read there on who is communist in every state and their connections.
Kevin: this is a great civic thing you’re doing. I want to let you know that although I voted for Republicans in the past, I’ve never felt compelled to go out and volunteer my time and efforts to the campaign. You pushed me over that edge. I have to say I also feel it’s the preference cascade kicking in. I feel like being on that bandwagon everyone talks about. But again, your website is awesome, and you are doing a great service to this country by encouraging people to volunteer.
OK Kevin, I did it. I signed up today and credited you and Hillbuzz as my referral. I’m a relatively new reader (this is my first time posting) but ever since I found this site it has become a (several times) daily reader. You are a breath of fresh air and a true patriot! I’m in Florida and I have to tell you, had Luntz NOT called it yesterday, I would have. Our area is blanketed with R/R signs…the leftists are very, very quiet…and I am happy dancing! I have a toddler, so I’m not sure *how much* I’ll be able to do on election day, but something is better than nothing and I’m tired of biting my tongue. Based on your descriptions (such as with the evil neighbors, etc.) I get the impression that I’m a lot like Justin. I don’t want to offend or upset anyone. Ever. BUT I now have a fire in my core that won’t be put out. I was raised in a very patriotic, conservative, pro-military household. Everything I’ve ever believed in, fought for and loved is under attack. I’m done being nice. Romney/Ryan 2012. Let’s DO this thing!
Kevin – I just signed up for the Romney campaign for all day on November 6. I never would have done it if you hadn’t goaded me to do the right thing. Thanks. (I’ve also sent that link on to all my friends urging them to do the same – so your gift just keeps on giving.)
Just signed up here in red Texas (red, red Collin co.) sent out emails to family and friends, twitter and Facebook !
I have never published a comment nor volunteered for a campaign. Today is a first on both counts and Hillbuzz got the credit. In Virginia and I have a RR bumper sticker…another first.not many signs at all in Richmond but they are growing. Many more for RR than O…almost no bumper stickers…weird. One street that was covered in Obama signs last time has only one and around 10 for RR
Strolling around the internet as hubby is making dinner on the girl ll so I’m off the hook tonight.
Gay Patriot has the best picture of a bumper sticker, I wish I knew how to share it with you. I won’t give it away in case Kevin wants to share it with you, I’ll just give the link:

You have to be a little cerebral to get it but you’ll laugh.
Also, Aaron Klein is on WABC on the internet stream now. He is covering the Libya debacle and he’s asking questions like Jeannine Pirro did last night.
“In the cartoons and movies I loved as a kid, there were times when something so big was happening (usually in a “very special episode”) where a giant super team of heroes would assemble for one large event…and the cast of characters would include all my favorites from all across the spectrum, working together at the same time towards something grand and historic. No matter what their individual talents were, teaming up like that for the big event was the means by which the sum total of their abilities were harnessed just that one time to achieve what seemed impossible.”
Doctor Who’s series 4 finale “The Stolen Earth/Journey’s End” is like that… all the companions come back to work with the Doctor against the series’ villain.

The cover of the drudge report is a classic on “foreign policy”
“Chavez, Castro, Putin endorse Obama…”
It’s times like this I wish I knew how to take and post a screenshot.

“OBAMA ASKS JEREMIAH WRIGHT FOR ELECTION HELP”

well now, this is interesting
“CBS News affiliate calls 2012 presidential race for Barack Obama weeks ahead of election”
http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/21/cbs-news-affiliate-calls-2012-presidential-race-for-barack-obama-weeks-ahead-of-election/#ixzz29zxPAfGM
Unbelievable, watch the crawl under the video, is this stuff already pre loaded?
I was telling hubby that one of the cables, can’t remember which one, was busy stressing how close the race was and how it might be a tie and then what would happen.
I told this to hubby and he reacted just like Kevin reacted when I told Kevin. So finally he saw a couple of things and did a little research. In the event of a tie, the House of Representatives will pick the president but, here’s the very interesting part, the Senate would pick the Vice President. If the Senate is composed as it is now, they could pick Joe Biden or Barack or Hilary or any democrat. Hubby told us this at dinner and we all laughed and then were a little shocked. He felt they’d pick Ryan cause they would really be creating a little hot mess picking a democrat but it was funny when he said it.
It’s not going to be a tie.
Romney is going to win by about 70-80 EVs. It could be a win by about 100 EVs.
Also, the tie is impossible because of Maine. One of the Maine EVs is going to Romney, guaranteed, because of the system they have of awarding by Congressional district…so Obama might get 2 votes there but not all 3.
That means no tie…since it would be 268 Obama and 270 Romney…but not 269-269.
It’s not going to be close though.
This is the new game that people are playing since they can’t play the “Hillary will be VP!” game anymore.
Thank you Kevin for that explanation. I copied and pasted to hubby in an email so he sees it first thing tomorrow morning. It will be one of those aha moments for him. He loves this stuff and he will say “of course Kevin is right, how did I miss that?”
But, I realize that they are starting to say this on the cable networks more than they had last week so I see what you mean, it’s another meme to distract us from the task at hand. And, I can’t believe that I, dummy that I am, fell into the trap. Shame on me, I should know better!
Kevin – I did it! I submitted the form and am looking forward to working as a poll watcher for Mitt on election Day. Thanks to you. You have been such an inspiration, and I thank God that you came beck to be with us all during this historic election time. What would we have done without you? I was beginning to despair that you would never return to hillbuzz…
