Tuesday's Daily Brief: Election Day Live Updates On HuffPost

Tuesday, November 6, 2012 Election 2012: Live Updates POLITICS Final Polls: Obama Leads POLITICS Christie Rejects Romney's Request To Appear At Campaign Event POLITICS In the Calm Before the Electoral Storm, Let's Ask Some Big Questions GREEN Powerless And Homeless From Hurricane, Now A Nor'easter Looms MEDIA The Biggest Moments From 2012 Election Coverage BLOG POSTS Howard Fineman: What We Know Before Election Day: Countdown Day 2 Whoever wins in whatever combination -- presidency, Senate, House -- will face a country divided over whether to raise taxes and in what way; over how to distribute and control health care; over how to put together a deal to address long-term debt. Adam McKay: Dear America, Please Don't Fall for This Shit Again Objections to Obama are nonsense and lies at best. This isn't a "liberal" POV. It's just the truth. Obama does have real failings as a president, but being a socialist big spender is not remotely one of them. Michael Moore: Tomorrow The bankers and corporate chiefs are planning an historic victory party. If Romney wins, their goal of complete corporate control of the three branches of government will be complete. Trust me, if they succeed, we may never get it back. Cenk Uygur: Why Obama Will Disappoint Progressives and I Voted for Him Anyway Do what you must in this election, but don't get blinded by the lights. This is not the most important fight in the country. Getting money out of politics is far, far more important, so that next time we can actually have a decent choice when election time comes around. David Lynch: A Filmmaker Analyzes The Presidential Campaign Ads Probably a lot of you would say I'm just another nut rolling out of Hollywood and I should stick to filmmaking or whatever and not voice my opinion about politics. But still I am an American.

Bush was the subject of undeserved, hyperbolic criticism, but the baseless scorn heaped upon President Obama makes Bush's detractors look diplomatic. The president, the office, and our nation deserve better. Geoffrey R. Stone: The Perils of Income Inequality The Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which authorized the federal government to impose an income tax on individuals, will turn 100 years old on February 3. It was designed precisely to protect the 47 percent of Americans Mitt Romney has reviled. Maxwell Kennedy: The End of the Democratic Party Both parties are more or less the same. If the Democratic Party continues to fight for the same old issues, it will be abandoned, and cease to exist. Will.i.am: #GreatTimes: My New Election Song I made a new song that's a reminder of what this election is all about... we are all fighting for a better life... we are all wanting greater opportunities... we are all looking for solutions... we are all hurting wishing and praying for "Great Times."

WYLL Racist advertising and broadcasts

Subject: WYLL Racist advertising and broadcasts

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have been following this presidential and congressional election since 2010. Its what I do. I have been a Christian for over 20 years. I am not perfect. I have been listening to WYLL for years, that is coming to a halt. I am tired of hearing your "paid" sponsors talking about President Obama as if Romney is a Christian. Romney is a Mormon. Mormons do not believe Jesus is God. I hope WYLL believes Jesus is God or do I have that wrong also.

 I am tired of hearing people like Pastor Jeffries and Michael Yuseff talk about President Obama as if Romney is a better choice. Romney is a liar and a deceitful person. If your defense for this "paid" advertisement and "false" teachers of the Bible is "freedom of speech" and "money" for advertisement, then your mission and vision for Christianity is distorted. I will ask my Christian and secular friends to find another "supposedly" Christian station to hear God's word, because it is severly distorted at WYLL. I believe WYLL has shown its true colors during the election cycle of a "black" man. I will tell them they can find their favorite Bible study individuals on their websites or other radio outlets.

I will post this on my blog, Twitter, and Facebook at http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/, http://www.twitter.com/clickforjustice,          http://www.facebook.com/fnancejr 

These pastors and WYLL need to read Dr. Tony Evans new book on how Christians should vote or Dr. R.C. Sproul's teachings on the Bible. When we attack or confess to address issues in a "Christian" way, we should assure ourselves and our audiences that our position is Biblically based and the scriptures used are not taken out of its context.

Oprah Winfrey: The Conversation Understanding that we are all more powerful than we know -- that we are all connected to something bigger than ourselves -- is the real conversation I want to have in the new OWN section on HuffPost. In many ways, it is the only conversation, I believe, truly worth having. Tom Zeller Jr.: Hurricane Sandy's Link To Climate Change: Does It Matter? Some stakeholders view the disaster as evidence of climate change, while others say such storms might happen randomly anyway. At this stage of scientific understanding, it cannot be denied that the latter camp has a fair point. But with millions of Americans still lacking power, some climate experts suggest an equally fair retort would be, so what? Mohamed A. El-Erian: Is German Bad News Good News for Europe? With so many understandably focused on Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath, few noticed this week's economic numbers out of Germany -- a key part of the European puzzle. Yet the latest data releases could well prove consequential. Dr. Peggy Drexler: Talking to Kids About Politics Talking to kids about politics helps them understand the world and their place in it, and starts to shift their thinking from "me" to "we." Which is why it's important to discuss with kids, even those too young to yet understand all the specific policy points or platforms, why politics matters.
