Trump voters have a lot of enthusiasm.

Biden voters have a lot of anger. We have seen how Trump has done many awful things. I actually think about Nixon’s phrase — “The silent majority”.

Later today there may be 2,500 Trump supporters holding a rally at a local park as they have done for the last 8 weeks. Their enthusiasm is impressive.

However, Donald is going to be fired by all of us that can’t take anymore.

Four years ago, I went to Las Vegas to door knock and get everyone to go to the polls. I have a vivid memory of one single Black mom who was honest with me and said that her voting wasn’t important. I believe that several million people such as her will not be silent this year. We need to spend the weekend acting as if we are 10 points down in the polls but I am hopeful that Tuesday night the Donald will hear the people roar.

The Rand poll is one of the best. Read their methodology. Obama 49.18 versus Romney at 44.75 showing that most minds were fully committed to their candidate prior to Wednesday's debate. Obama needs to continue to be Presidential and he needs to portray Romney as willing to say anything to get elected.

Nate Silver's analysis today plus the Virgil Goode possibility in Virginia may make the next 58 days fun! http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/. The analysis shows Obama up by 8.5 to 10 per cent over Romney once the tracking polls are completely past Bill Clinton's spectacular speech!

Short diary, I don't know how to link. Romney has decided to use a Federal Blind Trust if elected. Typically, this is a yawn ... a no big deal story. However, just like Dick Cheney, Romney will avoid paying massive capital gains taxes by using a Federal Blind Trust

David Broder in today's Washington Post writes about Tom Vilsack as I know him. He shows him as a dedicated public servant that has worked hard to alleviate poverty and get rid of the stigma of discrimination that existed in the Agricultural Dept.

The President today celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. He fulfilled a campaign pledge to expand the number of people with disabilities working for the Federal government.

Of particular interest to me were the new regs that were released today and specifically that the Segway is now covered by the ADA when used by someone with a mobility disability. I am a founder of Segs4Vets an organization that has donated almost 500 Segways to veterans injured in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of whom have lost a leg in service to our country.
