First?
Kudos Nena
Ditto to you too, PFWHI. Nothing is more enjoyable than when shared. Congratulations, PFWHI for our TODville race.
Thanks and you too!
Rocking that First Spot Nena! You GO girl!!
Thanks Dudette. I had a partner. PFWHI made the award more enjoyable.
Smooth
If I am 1st, I got lucky again. Fingers are just shaking and this time, my upper lip is sweaty. TMI? Perhaps….but true.
Just the two of Us….where are the rest of TODweb Villagers?
This Rolling Stone interview is a must read. Pres. Obama covers everything from Romney, Paul Ryan and Ayn Rand, Historic Accomplishments, The Personal, Halloween Costume For Romney, Healthcare, His Vision For The Future, The Auto Bailout etc. It’s brilliant.

Just a glance at that interview and I’m bowled over. Can’t wait to read it carefully. EXCELLENT.
top ten!
Hip, hip, hip, Hooray for the brilliant Chipsticks for these delicious Photos and the Hard work you do 24/7. You are simply, the Very Best.
Look at the crowd waiting in Cleveland!
I don’t see the enthusiasm. None at all! The place is empty.
Jake Tapper? Is that you?
WOW!!
Beautiful collection, as always, Chips! Yummy deliciousness from one end of the screen to the other! Thank you so much, dear!
I hope you’re having a great day, cuz you’ve surely made mine great!
Thank you Dudette!! I was tied up with work the last few hours, so only catching up now – methinks there’ll be, oooooh, another 97,000 gorgeous photos to post later!
That little boys face says it all! No more dreams deferred.
Beautifully put Yardarm, these kids’ faces melt my heart.
Hear, hear!
Isee hope for the future.
FIRST….after all the people above me!
I have to confess that I’m yawning like crazy so I suspect I’ll just barely make it through the President’s next speech before having to call it a night. 
This ad makes me super excited. Romney’s words are coming back to haunt him. First it was “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” and then the “47%”
Ohio, President Obama stood up for you when no one else would. Now, it’s time for you to stand up for him. What a wonderful ad. I’m sure it is being shown in Ohio.
Wow! Another excellent ad that showcases President Obama’s courageous and caring leadership. Thank you so much Chips for the wonderful job you are doing in spreading TRUTH.
Terrific ad which I hope everyone in the Upper Midwest sees.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Hi Chips and my TOD family. Hope all is well with all of you. I am still kicking. Moving and staying focus. Tired, but a very good and worthy tired.
I am just getting back to open my computer, and Chips is doing a terrific job. However, I contacting my TOD family here because I just received an email from Sen. Boxer about the Senate races. She stated in the email that: “If the Republicans win just 4 seats, we lose our Democratic majority.” Please go to this site and do what you can. They will match your $5.00, 3-to-1.

Love you all.HZ
Lovely to hear from you HZ, I hope you’re taking good care of yourself. Thank you for letting us know about Sen Boxer’s email and the fundraising, you’re the best.
HZ, Great to hear from you. I pray that you feel better each day. I got the same e-mail from our great Senator and will definitely send a contribution. I also made a very small contribution to your fund raiser for the President a couple of days ago. Take good care of yourself. Thanks for spreading so much love and inspiration.

That’s a good looking voter!
Gorgeous! Love the smile! Love the man! Love the pink breast cancer awareness bracelet too!
He looked so incredibly dapper today when he walked in to vote. He’s just too handsome and brilliant for words.
Cheeses merry anjoe seff — how does he do it???? Gorgeous.
The most memorable event of the ENTIRE 2012 election for Mark Knoller would be PBO’s visit to the Krispy Kreme donut shop in Tampa today.
Can we say desperate? Willard/Pauliar.
Hugelo crowd in Cleve
Look at that crowd! Beautiful, Dotster!
what warms my heart is the diversity of the crowde…multi racial/male/female/young/old….it inspires me and gives me hope…because every the Trump folks take a stab at PBO they take a stab at all of us….
Love the diversity in President Obama’s crowds. Everyone is included in his America.
No more dreams deferred!
Momma looks like: “That’s my beautiful and smart boy!”
There are so MANY lovely pictures like this. Dozens just of the President with children. I could look at them all day.
And Real Clear is pro-GOP!
I know, right? I love how we’re trampling all over Karl Rove’s spin machine.
It sure is, hopefruit! Real Clear Politics is still listing New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Colorado and Virginia as toss-up states, while listing Arizona and Missouri as likely Republican. Yesterday, it had Romney leading the President in electoral votes.
Who is real clear politics?
Pro-GOP.
I am really convinced that President Obama will win all the states he won in 2008, except for Indiana. Indiana and North Carolina were the biggest surprise for me in 2008. I think the biggest surprise of 2012 will be Arizona. I think the Latino/Hispanic voter turn out in Arizona will set records because Dr. Richard Carmona is running for the Senate. This may result in President Obama winning Arizona. Consequently, my prediction is that the President will win between 347 and 358 electoral votes. Basically about the same electoral votes he won in 2008.
I remember the picture of Romney’s little grandson shaking PBO’s hand and how he had this look of admiration for him. I couldn’t shake my some times overactive imagination of him saying: “If I could vote I’d vote for you.”
Or the fact that kids just naturally love PBO.
The Las Vegas speech:
Finally! Yay!
Chipsticks, is my computer playing tricks on me? When I click on this Speech I get the Tampa bay speech and not the Las Vegas speech. Is it just me?
Ah no, you’re right nathkatun7, they have the wrong title on the video!
Thanks, Chipsticks. The Tampa speech was actually a great speech and I didn’t mind watching it again.
TOD Family it is really lively out here on the road and round people who are out early voting and the OBAMA?BIDEN STICKERS ARE EVERYWHERE. I keep the TV on in the sleeper to hear the latest and it is all good news been in the battleground states and Romney and His Wet behind the EARS Running mate are a total failure among women of all walks of life.The Talking heads are trying their best to sell those SNAKE OIL SALESMEN and it is not working no matter what they say. I’ll be rolling all the way east until the weekend before election day will stay just outside DC for election day to see the returns and watch our President keep doing the great job He has been doing.Also watch some the GREED OVER PEOPLE PARTY drivers cry at the different truck-stops who believe that bunch of liars who claim they love our country but do everything they can to bring it down just because we have a smart out going and loving President who cares about us all. He lives and walks the talk all the time and they can’t stand that the most.
Thanks for the report from the road, but most of all, it is great to hear from you. I was thinking few days ago that we haven’t ‘seen’ you in awhile or if you have been here, I’ve missed you. Stay safe out there!
Brilliant to hear from you Wesley, loved every beautiful word! Stay safe and keep in touch, forward!!
Howdy, stranger!! Nice to see you back here and hear from a real life traveler about the pulse of America!! Stay safe…don’t be a stranger:) We missed you!!
Wesley, what states have you been driving through? Will you be coming through PA?
The states I will be running are as Follows Nebraska , Iowa,Illinois,Indiana Ohio,West Virginia,Washington DC, Virginia. We will stay in Virginia until after election night and then north to New York and will be passing through PA, on my way to Jersey Turnpike then New York on my way to New London Conn. Then return to TEXAS.
I’m so totally thrilled that so many people in the swing states are turning out for PBO. It just gives me such a sense of hope for all of us.
yes Meta it does….
I am with you, meta. I think the so called mainstream media may be in for a big surprise on Nov.6th. They are so glued to the past models of determining likely voters. I am absolutely sure that the election of 2012 is not going to resemble the election of 2010.
Love the way they frequently include that Trump plane in ads like the ‘when no one was looking’ above
This is nice:
Good lineup on Lawrence tonight.
Heads up everyone:

Behold, what Girl Power can do!
Guys, I think that’s our first woman President in this video. What do you think?
I have had that feeling ever since seeing Elizabeth Warren do the original You didn’t build it video. I have been contributing to her campaign and Tammy Duckworth’s even though I live in OR. I want more competent women legislators to hold office. I mostly need to donate to keep PBO in office though and a little for Dems in Congress and the Senate. I donated this year instead of going on a trip since I really don’t have that much extra money.
Me too Dudette, me too!! She has the same even temperament, the same intellectual curiosity, same backbone of steel as our President. I hope she runs, I will definitely support her. She fights for the middle class. But for right now…I want to enjoy these next four years.
Can someone send Ron Christie some roaches so he’ll have some company……ugh. Despicable insect.
Yardarm, I am not sure if roaches would tolerate Ron Christie’s company. I think only maggots would associate with him. If Harriet Tubman were alive today she would know how to deal with people like Ron Christie.
Yeah. He’d have died in a river or stream.
was he dropped on his head as a baby or what…..loathsome toad.
To All My TOD Family >Chipsticks and Desertflower,Tnmtngirl thanks for your notes I have missed being online to talk to you guys but as a trucking dad and granddad and Husband I have been really busy.With our little fleet of rigs we have been running crazy a new grand baby just got here on 10/03/2012 the night of the 1st debate and wonderful boy 10 pounds 7 ounces who is number three of the grand babies one for each sons now everybody is even but there is one beautiful grand daughter so that is why you guys have not been online.we have been switching trucks to keep things going for us all. The most surprising thing was my Loving Wife even took time behind the wheel and it shocked me when my son told me she took the short run from Houston to Dallas so he could stay at the hospital to see his son born.I thought she was home and found out that she had kept her papers up to date just in case. Talking about a surprised man and proud as hell so for those stupid fools in the GREED OVER PEOPLE PARTY to try and hold women back I got news for them from a man who knows you can’t stop a Lady when she sets her mind to get something done.They would get further in live if they would treat her with total respect you will always get more in life with this one true fact when Moma is happy you have more money and get more honey.
Congratulations, Wesley, on your new “big” grandson. And thank you for the great words of wisdom.
Congrats on your new bouncing grandbaby!
For all those freaking out about ABC tracking poll with its bogus LV screen. Here’s a tracking poll that won’t make you freak out. Obama up by 6 pts.
One of three polls showing Obama leading in CO. This is what Mittmentum doesn’t look like.
