Steve Benen of The Washington Monthly:

GUESS WHO'S VOTING?.... The other day, I had an idea for a short election-related video, so I jotted down a few notes. Of course, I don't know anything about turning back-of-the-napkin ideas into a finished product, so I took the concept to my friend Bill Simmon, a skilled filmmaker who knew exactly how to convert my script into a fun little clip.

Here's what we came up with. Let me know what you think.

4. Wonderful, getting on the LSM would be a big boost. How much would it cost to air it nationally?

10. Someone should have put Ann Coulter & Meg Whiteman's faces in there and say....
Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 11:31 PM by LynneSin
Ann Coulter - "Voting but probably in the wrong district"
Meg Whitman - "Voting for the first time in 28 elections"

14. Democracy is not a spectator sport
It is incumbent on you to stop the crazy. Get out and vote early and often. Bring someone else to vote.
Stop the Republican robber barons from lowering living standards of the working class.
Republicans don't solve problems; Republicans are the problem.

As soon as I get my ballot in the mail, I will vote. That's one thing that hasn't been taken away from us. Yet.

36. In fairness Limbaugh will likely vote for Obama/Democrats just to keep his ratings.
He wouldn't pass up a gold mine like the one he's got now.
