Obama just sent this out via email to supporters: “Figure out when you will vote and how you will get there.” I’m surprised he didn’t include something about eating your vegetables and don’t text and drive.

I’m sure Hillary Clinton believes this : U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday she expects President Barack Obama to stay the course on domestic and foreign policy even if Republicans make big gains, as expected, in hotly contested congressional midterm elections. I bet down deep she really hopes he sticks to his liberal guns, not because she particularly approves of those policies, but because she knows he’ll be completely ineffective during his next two years, thus setting the stage for a primary challenge.. .from Hillary .

Tesla Roadster Sport 2010: The TreeHugger Test Drive (Photos)

All photos by Agaton Strom As of now, the Tesla Roadster is the undisputed king of electric cars–and not just because it’s the only highway-ready EV in serial production in the nation. It’s the one EV that everyone wants: greens, auto enthusiasts, pretty much anyone susceptible to the allure of an immaculately designed sports car. So, pretty much anyone. Yesterday, I got to drive it. Yes, TreeHugger finally got to… Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Wave is Building

No Comment

As America goes to the polls the Daily Caller has some last minute good news : Finally, it’s time to vote. But there’s a full day left to wait for results. In the meantime, here are three dominant political themes for the days ahead. One, the Republican wave gained serious momentum over the last three days and could be a tsunami. Two, the divisions within the Republican Party may be just a prelude to what happens starting this week. And three, President Obama appears ready to offer up the same explanation he’s given after past setbacks: voters don’t understand what he’s doing and that’s why they don’t like it. The Wave is getting bigger by the hour A series of data points moved the needle back closer to panic for Senate Democrats over the weekend and through Monday. Indicators in virtually every close race for Democratic-held seats – Illinois, Colorado, Nevada, Pennsylvania – moved those contests toward the Republican. And in Washington, last minutes polls made clear that Sen. Patty Murray will have to sweat it out Tuesday night, possibly keeping the entire nation waiting to see who controls the Senate. The two remaining wild cards are West Virginia and Alaska. Polls tightened in the Mountaineer state, and Republican Joe Miller got a much-needed dose of good news Monday in the form of a Public Policy Polling survey that showed him with 37 points to 30 points for both Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Democrat Scott McAdams. A two or three point swing toward the GOP could be the decider in a lot of close races. Let’s hope so. It would be a shame to sweep huge numbers of seats in the House but see an idiot like Harry Reid re-elected.

EVO 4G HDMI dock finally shows up at Sprint stores, will come home with you for $40

It’s been five long months since we last heard about the HTC EVO 4G ‘s HDMI dock, but it now looks to have finally made its way out to Sprint stores. Good and EVO managed to pick one up for $39.99 from their local purveyor of Now Network products and they’ve had a little hands-on action with the peripheral. Noteworthy notes include an extremely glossy finish on the docking station along with a predictable incompatibility with any cases or extended batteries that expand the bottom portion of the EVO’s case. A six-foot HDMI cable is bundled in the box, so all you really need to do is dust off that credit card and go be the best consumer that you can be.

These Candidates are Fighting for Climate Science …

Image: Freedom’s Lighthouse Even in an ugly election year — one for which conventional wisdom holds that even mentioning the words ‘climate change’ can do political damage — certain candidates are nonetheless betting on sound science. A handful of candidates for governor, senator, and representative are refusing to back down against the rising tide of candidates who are bucking science in an attempt to score easy political points. It’s something voters should keep in mind as they head to the polls today: … Read the full story on TreeHugger
