Here are the tweets of a few of my blogging friends. We’ll have some of Anne’s awesome graphic quotes along with periodic updates during the debate, as well.

I highly commend your attention to barackobama.com/debate for lots of debate extras.

Enjoy.

Updates will be after the jump.

Trying to leave a mark, trying to make it sting If reporting by the New York Times is accurate, Mitt Romney will be lacing his debate performance tonight with “zingers” designed to make the news. I envision his staff working hard all day today, crafting 140-character tweets that are ready to be launched the minute Mitt utters them onstage in […]

It’s called “arithmetic”

UPDATED: Check out the excellent OFA Women for Obama video after the graphic.

A new poll out by Quinnipiac has some remarkable numbers for us this week. They have President Obama ahead of Mitt Romney by 4 points among likely voters. But among women voters?

18 percent.

“Red, White and Blue, Going Forward!”

This is a remarkable video. Margaret Harris was born in 1906 and has 88 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She’s only voted once in her life, back in 1928. But she is motivated to vote again this year and, when she does, it will be to reelect President Barack Obama.

Watch her video after the jump.

Forward.

I love this new ad from President Obama. It lays out his accomplishments and his goals for the future succinctly and in a positive way.

Enjoy (after the jump).

Has there ever been such a totally fail presidential campaign before???

Guess who said this:

“I can change Washington. I will change Washington. We’ll get the job done from the inside. Republicans and Democrats will come together.”

If you thought that was from Senator Barack Obama, circa Summer 2008, you’d be dead wrong. That was Mitt Romney. Yesterday.

Details with video after the jump.

Whoa.

There’s one “polling” site that I watch more than any others. More than Gallup. More than Pollster. More than any other. It’s Electoral-Vote.com.

I like it because it basically takes the most recent legitimate poll from each state and gives you a day-to-day snapshot of where the presidential race stands in terms of the all-important electoral vote count.

Proof after the jump.

This is getting comical

Faced with the unmitigated disaster that is Mitt Romney and his complete melt down on the national stage from a foreign policy perspective, conservatives are now rushing to his aid, throwing flak into the air in a laughable attempt to distract voters. They are now suggesting that because President Obama doesn’t need to have his security briefings read to him like his predecessor, he is responsible for the attacks on American embassies around the globe.

No, sadly, I am not kidding. Click through for details.

Ask me anything…

Reddit is a force of nature. The biggest traffic days on Eclectablog are directly attributable to us hitting the front page of Reddit and doing that actually shut the site down at one point because we overloaded our host’s servers.

On Reddit, people post links, photos or commentary for others to look at. There are subreddits which are categories. For example, links to stuff at Eclectablog typically end up in the Politics reddit. Links that get popular enough in a specific reddit get promoted to Reddit’s front page and that’s where the traffic really gets heavy.

There’s a specific type of post on Reddit called an “AMA” which stands for “Ask me anything”. Some of them are “IAMA” which means “I am a … ask me anything”. They are very popular and numerous celebrities, business owners and other folks have done them. You can read more about AMAs at Reddit’s blog HERE. Last week, President Obama did an IAMA titled “I am Barack Obama, President of the United States — AMA”.

He almost broke the internet. Details after the jump.

We can’t wait…

President Obama is smart enough to know that we can dramatically lower our dependence on foreign fossil fuels through energy efficiency and conservation. Yesterday, he signed an Executive Order intended to further that process by accelerating investments in industrial energy efficiency.

“Today, we are taking another step to strengthen American manufacturing by boosting energy efficiency for businesses across the nation,” said President Obama. “This action will cut costs, increase efficiency, and help our businesses create strong, middle class jobs. We’ll continue to do everything we can to put more people back to work and build an economy that lasts.”
