And the Franklin & Marshall/Morning Call poll, which is the +3 poll and got posted and not picked apart because it showed good news for the D's, has the Senate race at 41%-35% McGinty, which is fucking garbage. A quarter of the electorate is not undecided five weeks out.

Maybe because McGinty +3 is something someone could look at and say 'yeah seems like it could be right'. One that's -8 and 12 from Hillary/Trump just seemed off on its face compared to other polls lately.

No reason both can't be wrong though.

Three polls this week, two of them have Toomey running double digits ahead of Trump. We won't know what reality is until election day. You may choose to believe the one that makes you happy. I don't think that 'we know' Toomey is probably toast if Clinton wins PA by 6+ points.

I'd totally agree that a 5ish point deficit is nothing to make up for Toomey. He hasn't exactly tied himself to Trump this campaign.

12 just seems like a lot. And I say seems because it's only a feeling not based on any data. I guess we'll see on election day but I'd feel comfortable about McGinty's chances if I know Hillary beats Trump by 8-10 points here.

Reading about the Hannity/Megyn Kelly feud, I have to say that this line from Megyn made me laugh:

Kelly seemed to throw the first punch at Hannity last week after the first presidential debate when she remarked, “We’ve got Trump speaking to our own Sean Hannity. We’ll see whether he speaks to the journalists in the room after that interview.”

I was wrong, Pencs knows Trump, I could tell when he was insisting that Donald won the debate while camera were rolling today (could have been last night).

It's from last year, but yes she is among the worst parts of Trump's campaign which is saying something

Not sure if this video was posted before, but I'd rather have it posted twice than not at all. Nice music. :)

I think they're awful but 'smart' in that people will think 'oh a newspaper said these lines, they must all be completely true' and they're impossible to counter with ads of your own without looking like you're just being defensive.


I'm waiting for some mcginty ads to deny the accusations toomey is making. There also seems to be 2 toomey ads for every mcginty
I would rather see you lose than win myself

Dang, Taniel retweeted it so I figured it was recent.

Still awful though.
