{Political_Views} Today With John Nichols


Elizabeth Warren says: "It's time to reform the filibuster." Nation piece:
 
Obama vote passes 65M - now 65,061,993. He's at 50.9%. Mitt's at 47.37% Obama headed over 51, Romney could go under 47.
 
Libertarian vote keeps rising. He's now at 1,268,821 -- 1% of total, Highest popular vote EVER for Libertarians.
(At this rate he too could pass Mittens).
 
 
Green   vote total is now above 460,000 -- 300K better than in 2008. This is the best Green finish since 2000.
 
 
In Canada, thousands of fast-food workers are organized by CAW Local 3000 and other unions. Why not America?
 
 
At FDR/Willkie meeting after 1940 election, they forged a partnership to save the free world.  Not expecting as much with Mitt meeting.
 
 
"No Way to Ending Same Day! 15K Wisconsinites ask Scott Walker to keep same-day voter registration.
 
 
2012 Campaign spending WI surpassed $310M - unprecedented, mostly from out of state. Needed: Reform! Move to Amend!
 
 
Joining to talk America off fiscal cliff. We DO NOT need to take mortgage deductions from working families. We do need to tax rich.
 
 
Great talk on radio about John Boehner's bumbling approach to fiscal cliff. Next up, on labor's fight for tax fairness.
