And Toomey is no longer running ahead of him by any real margin, which seems suboptimal for his chances of reelection.

Also if there's another tape of Trump bragging about sexual assault, now seems like as good of a time as any for it to become public.


It would be really nice if he could have one of his meltdowns. Even if it was just minor, I would take it. I was away all weekend, but it seems like the Trump people are just laying low, media wise. Is that anecdotal on my part or a thing that is happening? Keep off the radar for a five days and hope that is enough.

obama won 53-47 in 12 and 56-42 in 08. So it isnt the best, but it is better than a two or one point lead. that to say, for her, at this point it is good news. looking at it, it is where the polls have been mostly the past several months.

Too bad there isn't another debate.

Also, now would be a good time for some behind the scenes Apprentice footage.

Pretty sure there's been more than one poll showing that clintons enthusiasm level is higher than trumps. Her approval ratings are higher etc.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

but I want the senate almost as much as the presidency. It's the only way she'll ever get to appoint a justice.
McGinty has been consistently up on Toomey, Bayh is somehow holding on, Hassan seems safe...and who the hell knows what's going to happen in Nevada. The only guarantee is with a super majority and that ain't happening so I don't know how much 50+ matters for the supreme court anyway. I'd still really like dems to get there, of course.


Either way, I think the filibuster is over when it comes to judicial nominations.

Oh yeah. A Dem majority eliminates the filibuster, no doubt.
I think I'm lost. Why is this?

I just meant that the filibuster will never be an obstacle on executive branch or judicial confirmations in a Dem-controlled Senate. Sorry for the pre-lunch incoherence.

Can somebody please just re-assure me that he isn't going to win?

I was feeling pretty confident but as the day gets closer I am getting more and more nervous.

My wife is a wreck. She isn't sleeping well and stressed out to the point where she won't put out. If Donald wins, I fear that I am looking at 4 years of celibacy.

How is Shady Katie winning? I heard from a bike messenger with an unstrapped helmet that she's corrupt.

I'm pretty confident Clinton's going to win. And I don't think it's even going to be close.

Does it have more of an impact to your wife than everyone else for some reason? Not sure I've ever heard of someone getting that worked up about an election that wasn't somehow directly impacted by it more than others.

her and Hillary's corrupt donors have a global banking conspiracy to suppress the vote of real Americans and are busing in illegals from Kenya and going polling place to all early polling places in PA

Ah, the old Lysistrata move. I wonder how widespread that is.

You know, if Donnie wins, it'll be socially acceptable for you to move on her like a b-word and grab her by the p-word.

MULawPoll ‏@MULawPoll
On Weds and Thurs, 47% favored Clinton, 36% Trump. On Fri, Trump 48%, Clinton 40%. Sat-Mon, Clinton 46%, Trump 40%. #mulawpoll

I don't think she was actually up by 11 in WI at any point in the past week, but that shows a) how noisy samples can be and b) how much news can mess with short term stuff by fucking with response rates

The thing that worries me the most is the Vegas odds are dropping big time on Clinton, and they usually get things right.

might have a big heart

also, they're jewish.

my wife is very scared too. i keep telling her not to but she looks at every poll and headline and worries about the future where basically pure hatred wins. she lived in a big bubble for a while and didn't realize the hatred out there, i guess.
