lets hope! would be nice to have a little better representation for the amount of dems that actually reside in this state.

Based on? It's a 50/50 national seat that Clinton should win, and a total must win for the Dems if they ever want to take the House back. From what reporting I've seen it seems like Republicans are more confident than the Democrats though.

NPR has talked about it a few times over the past week. Seemed to be that Fitzpatrick was the favorite to replace his brother but Santarsiero has made it close. Just going off what they are saying. And M. Fitz destroyed in 2014. So Santarsiero had that going against him.

The @Wikileaks feed gives me a headache every time I look at it. I rarely understand what they're even trying to say.

That's because of my BRILLIANT canvassing efforts and the letter to the editor of the Intell I wrote that they didn't publish.

As a general rule, my view is that there is a way for us to accommodate sacred lands of Native Americans, and I think that right now the Army Corps is examining whether there are ways to reroute this pipeline,” Obama said an interview Tuesday.

The White House said the corps was exploring a range of options that would address concerns raised by tribal officials and others. Separately, the Army, the Justice Department and the Interior Department are discussing with tribal governments how to prevent future disputes with the federal government over public works projects, according to the White House.

That's the Army Corps of Engineers, I believe.

Yeah

pronounced 'core'

I've been looking to 2020 for months now but I'll go vote for Hillary on Tuesday though I don't like either candidate. The scary thing about Trump is that he is really kind of Teflon... could you imagine if Obama was caught making the comments about grabbing women's pussies or Rubio stood on stage and made ridiculous claims about what they'd do when they won like having Mexico pay to build a wall or if Hillary called everyone jerks, losers, and pigs... they would be done on the spot... this guy has cruised right through all of it... sure he has lost some momentum here and there but he's still right there on the doorstep of the presidency... he's brought some of the scariest parts of our society into the political realm and they are with him till the end... friends I have associated with over the years through work or community unabashedly love the guy... some have their whole families proudly at his rallies... how are they are not seeing what's right in front of them... my Facebook has a lot of vocal Trump support from people I know are good people... crazy... what I'm worried about is both the independent voters leaving Johnson for Trump and those who are hidden Trump supporters... afraid to vocally support him due to sounding racist, sexist, or just uninformed but in the veil of secrecy, will vote for him... I wouldn't be shocked if he wins this thing... he's overcome everything else... though I think if he wins, after a few months when he feels the stress of it all and the obstacles to fulfilling his plans, he resigns the presidency... President Pence would await

2 of my neighbors had Scalfaro (local R running for office) and Trump signs in their yards 2 weeks ago. Both Trump signs were removed, around the time of the 3rd debate. Anecdotes!

WERE REMOVED BY HILLARY SUPPORTERS you meant to say

My voter ID card finally arrived in the mail! I was getting worried. I'm so proud to be an American! I'll be even more proud when I VOTE TRUMP!

Just watched Obama's speech in Chapel Hill. He might not be the best president ever. But he is the coolest. He was getting down to Bidness. Can you dig it? Right On.

Trump will win Arkansas, but around here, I see very few Trump signs. It's definitely more of an anti-Hillary thing than a pro-Trump thing. Though one of the nastiest people I know has about 4 Trump signs in her yard.

Like I said, he's going to win here--Arkansas is the 3rd or 4th Trumpiest state (thanks to our large number of non-college educated white people). But it doesn't seem like there's a lot of actual enthusiasm for him if yard signs are an indication of enthusiasm.
