"Nearly a million have already voted in Ohio, with Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) and Franklin County (Columbus) having the most votes cast by far"

Hotbeds of liberalism. That early margin will be wiped out when the salt o' the earth types (you know, morons) from Chilicothe, Zanesville and Warsington Court House, hit the polls on election day (to say nothing of the good folk from Grelton, Westville and Defiance)...

Trumbull/Mahoning Counties are the key. 1/2 way between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, with Warren and Youngstown as the anchors. A sinkhole of decrepitude between two faded giants of 20th century American industrialism.
During a press conference later, O'Mara was asked if he had any advice for Zimmerman, and he answered, "Pay me."

That's a good description of everything between New York and LA....

Refused to be bullied by O'Reilly and it even seemed he cowed O'Reilly. Seems like a pretty reasonable dude. But he still looks like a dork...

He's got an interesting background...

And that is the dirty little secret in the election.

BHO wins 53% of the popular vote and gets 321 in the EC.

After the GOP cries robbery, pollsters admit to undercounting minorities and voters under the age of 35.
Ummm...if its almost a million then only 25% are from Cleveland and Columbus.

If BHO starts falling behind in Ohio on election day, the precinct captains in Dem areas will just keep "discovering" new early/absentee votes until he wins.

lol, Dick Morris is one of the biggest hacks on the network. O'Reilly and Hannity love the guy. He was predicting a McCain victory to the bitter end
Luna is Dick Morris?

"He's got an interesting background..."

Yeah, I read up on him after you mentioned him, seems much more independent-minded than most of the "conservative" thinkers (maybe both of those should have been in quotations in light of the venue) that are regulars on Fox. I also read about his diving accident, but I couldn't let my natural sympathy in that regard quell my even more natural tendency towards sass when I noted he still looks like a dork. I do congratulate you, however, on your choice of Krauthammer as your rightwing ideologue of choice and for introducing him to me. I'll keep my eye on him.

FWIW, my ideologue of choice, by a wide margin, was Christopher Hitchens. I miss that guy...

Juan Williams used to. Be far better. Now he is just as bad as hannity or Colmes as far as spin goes.

I grew up watching brokaw anchor And John chancellor commentary. Brokaw was most center of Jennings and rather.

I've always likes stossel. Brit Hume and Brett baier seemed most fair to me.

Wallace does a good job, Kristol will criticize the right.

On the left Kirsten powers and Mara liaison do a good job.

Wolf does okay on CNN.

I like Joe Scarborough. He's disgusted with everybody. Of course, he's turned that disgust into a lucrative career for himself, as they all have. They've all cashed in by basically doing what we idiots sit around in here and do, for years, and spout for free. Now I'm depressed...

New Undercover Video: Did Congressman's Son Commit Voter Fraud?

James O'Keefe has struck again. O'Keefe is the guy who broke the big ACORN scandal with his undercover video reporting.

Now, he's out with a video that may land a Congressman's son in trouble for voter fraud. Watch below as Patrick Moran, the son of Virginia Rep. Jim Moran (and the Field Director for his father's campaign), is caught on tape talking to an undercover reporter about how to allegedly cast ballots deceitfully for registered voters.

Concur. According to...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Burnett

... she used to work for Goldman Sachs and is engaged to a Citigroup exec. If she gets some plastic surgery, starts wearing low-cut blouses and becomes blonde, she has a bright future with Fox.

Three polls in Ohio released today:

Rasmussen: TIE
SurveyUSA: Obama +3
Time Mag: Obama +5

Also two in Nevada:

Rasmussen: Obama +2
PPP: Obama +4

Romney's lead in the wild Gallup poll has dropped from +7 to +3. Pretty steady in Rasmussen at +4. Rasmussen hinting that the lead could drop.

It's all part of God's wonderful plan when rape victims get pregnant, says Indiana Senate hopeful. If only all conservatives were as honest and open about believing that, sir

Watch Ohio. Nothing else matters much.

Yesterday Rassmussen had Obama +1 in Ohio. So if they are tied there today, that is good news for Romney. So good we might even see IB.
