I must admit that when Citizens United was upheld by the Supreme Court, I thought we were doomed. Super Pacs turned up in record numbers, several being orchestrated by Carl Rove. Then we found out who some of the biggest donors were, Bob Perry, Harold Simmons, T. Boone Pickens, Shelden Adelson and The Koch Brothers among the most well known.

Why would anyone pour hundreds of millions of dollars into an election? What do they want in return? They aren’t there to give, they are there to receive.

I imagined that we would be inundated with negative ads, which we were, and that the Super Pacs would have an unfair advantage in the election. Boy was I wrong, American’s proved me wrong, and I am so happy about it, I should have had more faith that comm0n sense would win out in the end.

All I have to say to Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers is thanks. Thank you for the economic stimulus.

We are obsessed with the daily poll numbers we get everyday from the press. I’ve been noticing some very disturbing trends in the reporting of polls on National TV.

I watch a lot of TV (Current TV, MSNBC and CNN) on a daily basis and have noticed that commentators are more likely to focus on the polls that lean their way. Many Democrats, me included, are hanging our hopes on Nate Silver. I watch his site day and night waiting for his latest projections. 

Every morning I watch Morning Joe on MSNBC. Joe Scarborough consistently points out the daily polls that give Mitt Romney an edge and discounts Nate Silver and his projection models over and over. On Thursday morning, even though he was not on the show that day, Joe Scarborough spent his morning dissing Nate Silver on Twitter. Here is Nate Silver’s response to Joe’s tweets:

Margaret Sullivan on The New York Times Opinion Pages, quoted Joe Scarborough.

“Anybody that thinks that this race is anything but a tossup right now is such an ideologue, they should be kept away from typewriters, computers, laptops and microphones for the next 10 days, because they’re jokes.”

The above words are those of Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program. He’s talking about Nate Silver, the statistics wizard whose FiveThirtyEight blog is licensed by The New York Times, and who writes for The Times frequently online as well as in print. Mr. Silver also has a desk in The Times’s newsroom.

The point I’m trying to make is that it’s all about the trend in the polls.  In this image of Nate Silver’s prediction from today, you can clearly see the down trend for President Obama after the first Presidential debate, the up trend after the second an third Presidential Debates and the sharp up trend after Hurricane Sandy.

Hey Joe Scarborough, even you have to admit that it’s all about the trends and clearly, President Obama has the momentum to bring this home in a BIG way.

Joe, during the primaries you consistently said that Mitt Romney is a flawed candidate, yet now you are on the Romney bandwagon. Why would you back a flawed candidate, because he’s the best of the worst that ran for President on the Republican ticket? It’s pretty sad that you would back a man with little integrity who consistently lies to the American public just because he’s the last Republican standing. This is the same mindset that gave us Sarah Palin. Maybe you’re the joke Joe, not the rest of who are voting in the best interest of the country.

After last nights debate, I can’t lie, I was a little disappointed. President Obama looked tired and not quite his normal self. I think President Obama was suffering the effects of the high altitude sickness in Denver.

Mitt Romney was smart enough to do his debate prep in Denver while President Obama came into town from Las Vegas only a few hours before the debate.  Las Vegas having an altitude of 2,200 feet and Denver having an altitude of 5,280 feet. President Obama should have read this article: 8 tips to avoid Mile High altitude sickness.

The Mile High City has 17 percent less oxygen than cities at sea level, so don’t be surprised if you come to town and become breathless over more than the scenery. Shortness of breath, throbbing headaches and fatigue are just a few symptoms of altitude sickness. Fortunately, many people come and go symptom free. But if the elevation gets to you…

As John Fugelsang said during the debate coverage on Current TV, he had the same problems performing during a comedy show in Denver.

Had President Obama come into town a few days earlier and acclimated to the altitude, we may have seen a different debate last night.

The only thing we can do at this point is have a laugh on Mitt Romney, enjoy! 

He just can’t help himself, Mitt Romney is still lying.

I used to watch Joy Behar on HLN every night, I never missed it. The Joy Behar Show introduced me to John Fugelsang, a New York based comedian.  Make no mistake, both Joy and John take their politics very seriously, but at the same time they both add such a quick wit to their comments and interviews that it’s a bit addictive.

I followed both Joy and John on Twitter and guess what?  John followed me back. He’s my only celebrity Twitter follower.

When The Joy Behar Show was cancelled on HLN I was devastated, so I tweeted her. 

The final show was hilarious. In a skit reminicent of the finale of the Bob Newhart Show, Joy ended up in bed with Republican, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. You can see Bob Newhart’s picture on the nightstand next to Joy. This was so unexpected, Joy a liberal ending up in bed with a Republican.  Joy, that’s not a dream, it’s a nightmare!
 

 After The Joy Behar Show was over, I made my first tweet to Current TV.

On March 30th, Current TV fired Keith Olberman and a few days later replaced him with Elliot Spitzer.  This called for a double tweet so I could say everything I need to say.

Then a few months later, unbelievably, part of my tweet to Current TV came true.

Then John Fugelsang started showing up on CNN, MSNBC and all over Current TV and amazingly, this happened.

Do you think Current TV was talking to me when said “Your wish has been granted!”? Even though they didn’t mention me in their tweet, I’m taking total responsibility for both Joy Behar and John Fugelsang getting Prime Time shows on Current TV.

May your wishes come true too!!
