All the polling that I have seen (and I have seen a lot) has one thing in common - no 3rd party candidates. It seems that the media has completely ignored the potential impact of a 3rd party vote. Follow me below to a look at what might happen and why.
An October 23rd Article from the Washington Post points to this...

From Huffington Post:

From Jim Lehrer's less-than-dynamic performance as moderator of the first presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney, inspired a lot of negative comments during the broadcast. More importantly, it inspired a similarly timid Twitter profile.
Better luck next time, Mr. Lehrer. Until Mitt Romney fires you and Big Bird, of course.

Who else thinks Lehrer's performance as the host allowed this debate to get away from the topic?

There is nothing else to say after reading this. I guess the Republicans are out to get everyone. I say we get them. We have to remember what the Democratic party stands for - the good of all citizens. I guess these guys are not part of that crowd under the republican definition.

The entire article is available at CNN.

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-South Carolina:

"I was always taught that the first sign of a good education is good manners. I think that what we saw tonight was really bad manners," he said. "And, having a spirited debate is one thing, exercising bad manners is another. That was beyond the pale -- and I would hope that he would publicly apologize on that same floor to the president of the United States for that insult."

Although I agree an apology was warranted, what does this say about the American culture?

It seems that Rep. Backmann now "regrets" her statements made on Hardball. She indicates that she "walked into a trap" and had never seen Hardball before.

This will be a short diary. I am asking for anyone with extra campaign materials such as buttons, stickers, signs, etc. to PLEASE send them to Kentucky. We have a lot of heated local Democratic races and thus some very active Democratic County Offices. We cannot get any materials for Obama - I know there was a recylcing program during the Primary so I'm asking again - consider mailing any materials you have to KY.

I am linking a video that is the basis of a new ad I just saw on TNT. This video and the ad developed from this is one of the most powerful statements I have heard about McCain's volatility, "playing the POW-card" and other issues.

I know this isn't substantial narrative but if you look at the video it speaks volumes.

Back during the hotly contested primaries, a diary I did (Redheads At Work) helped spur the idea of "food bombs". This creative tactic did many things in addition to providing food for the hardworking Obama ground teams. Click here for a refresher... Redheads at Work

This is not enough for a diary but I can't help myself. Caroline Kennedy just smacked down Wolfe Blitzer on CNN...He was questioning her about the "non vetting" of Hillary and she said "You sure know a lot about this don't you?"..WOlfe: "Well walk us thru it"... Caroline "I'm not walking you through anything..this was a confidential process"..

WHOOSH...THREE POINTER...nuff said...

Talk amongst yourselves...If I knew how to grab the video and post I would be not that skilled...GO OBAMA-BIDEN.

UPDATE: If anyone can find the video of this from CNN I would greatly appreciate it!

Many of the diaries on here today are pointing to the fact that we have MUCH to do in this campaign and for the future of our country. Issues such as the homeless, energy dependence (trains, planes and automobiles), alternative fuels, global relations, wars, etc. This is a serious time in our country's history and we have get serious about it. The goal right now should be to focus on the SWING states and do what we can to help.
