Twitter Bird Can Help You With Voter Sadness

Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack, a crack, in everything .....We are going to promote this goddamned thing, in the tank, etc., because everybody wanting to do the voting would like the voting thing to work out. So here is the press release. And here is the Google Maps thing, by Google’s Brittany Bohnet, and Voter Suppression-dot-net, via Reno and its Discontents.

    I have a twitter! I shall… vote report?

  3. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:34 am, October 31st, 2008

    Fuck Twitter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYvfxvDwJxA
    The oldest, most snark worthy thing that has ever lived.

    shortsshortsshorts: You can’t have sex with a website, fool.

  5. Is it me, or should Twitter have promoted this sooner? Early voting has been going on for weeks, but I’m not going to point fingers. Heavens no. I actually do not Twitter. Too many extraneous messages notifying me when people were buying lettuce or pooping.

    Happy Halloween to all. I Photoshopped Obama wearing his Sarah Hussein Palin mask.

    BTW… where are Palin’s effing medical records? Are they so scary that they need to be held until the last hurrah?

    There’s a teenaged abortion in those records, you betcha!

  8. trondant: I never thought of that. Oooh.

  9. Stealth Liberal says at 3:42 am, October 31st, 2008

    Mojopo: I had a creative writing exercise for a course I’m taking where we had to write an October Surprise. Mine was that she had an abortion while at U Idaho (the first time) from a one-night stand at a frat party. Abortion AND infidelity.

  10. Stealth Liberal: Oh my God. That is so delicious that I salivated on my keyboard.

  11. blue monkette says at 4:36 am, October 31st, 2008

    While you’re all twittering on the 4th, we’ll be HAMMERED BY NOON in the vote-by-mail Oregon. Turns out the GOP hasn’t figured out how to suppress this yet.

  12. donotronix says at 5:09 am, October 31st, 2008

    blue monkette: karl rove personally picks up the mail from all houses with registered democrat voters, then dumps it into a furnace in alaska. your vote is currently heating the house that bristol palin is having pregnant sex in.

  13. It’s the blue bird of Hopeyness?

  14. ihatepolls says at 5:54 am, October 31st, 2008

    This isn’t snarky but has Obama essentially won Colorado?

    http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2008/10/colorado-results.html

    Friday, October 31, 2008
    Colorado Results
    Barack Obama 54
    John McCain 44

    Barack Obama’s already just about won the race for President in Colorado.

    65% of the folks we surveyed said they had already voted, and among those respondents Obama is winning 58-41. Folks planning to vote on election day support John McCain 50-47, bringing Obama’s overall lead down to ten points…Obama continues to dominate with independent voters in the state, leading 60-36. Colorado is yet another state where he is winning modestly more Republicans (13%) than John McCain is Democrats (10%). So much for the Democrats’ party unity problem this year.”

    Is this legit or a hoax?

  15. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 6:08 am, October 31st, 2008

    Hey Ken, Jim, Sarah:

    In light of this, since all the other media giants are releasing how they are going to cover election night, can we look forward to hearing the plans of Wonkette? Who will be up late with me watching Florida slipping away as the Diebold machines finally report?

    And while we are at it, I say look to PA and VA. If both fall for Obama early in the evening, this thing is over. If PA goes McCain, it will be a late night. If PA and VA are too close to call after by 11p EDT, it is going to be a long night.

    You heard it her first.

  16. AlexTrebeksGirl says at 8:20 am, October 31st, 2008

    Lionel I hate your assessment. I want this to be over by 11PM so we have enough time to jump up and down, drink a little, smoke a little, hook up, and wake up in time to sit at a desk and attend meetings without falling down.

  17. Blue Jefferson Clinton the Cat says at 8:21 am, October 31st, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: We voted on paper here in FL this time so Diebold shouldn’t be an issue like last time :) although I did see one electronic voting machine in my polling place but they only used it when this old lady that couldn’t read the paper ballot came in (btw it was an ES&S machine)oh and since some of the super old folks tend to have issue with voting for the black guy their votes may not need to be stolen

  18. Lazy Media says at 8:33 am, October 31st, 2008

    ihatepolls: It’s not going to be close, except possibly in your whitey-white bitter states. Obama’s going to win Georgia, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina because of mind-boggling black voter turnout, just watch. The polls in Georgia, which basically show it tied, are based on models that limit blacks in the sample to 25 percent (typical turnout). In early voting, blacks are 35 percent. Even if the Election Day total brings it down to 30 percent, Hopey wins going away.

  19. Toomush Infermashun says at 8:38 am, October 31st, 2008

    AlxTrebeksGirl: I thought you gurlz could multitask…

  20. Wonkette is in the tank for democracy.

  21. What is this Twitter phenomenon and will I be required to buy some sort of electronic device to participate? If so, consider me not part of, nor will I be joining any time soon, the Twitter revolution.

  22. masterdebater says at 10:50 am, October 31st, 2008

    I can remember a time, not long ago, when people would have laughed at you if you named your business “Twitter”…oh, wait.

  23. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:34 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Blue Jefferson Clinton the Cat: Well, there is 10 thousand votes right there.

  24. donotronix says at 2:33 pm, October 31st, 2008

    Lazy Media: “Obama’s going to win Georgia, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina because of mind-boggling black voter turnout, just watch”

    too bad none of them will actually be allowed to vote.

  25. palmerdawg says at 3:58 am, November 1st, 2008

    That’s how the McSlime campaign communicates. carrier pigeon or stool pigeon maybe it’s a jail bird with a message from uncle Keating for Stevie boy, hey the food not so great and i’ll introduce you to the sisters.

  26. vthokies383 says at 4:22 pm, November 1st, 2008

    barack is the clear choice
