Christian group in Chicago crying Christian oppression because they couldn’t set up their Pulse nightclub shooting themed “hell house” in an elementary school.
All those RWNJ conspiracy theories dating back to at least 2012, where Obama is going to launch some diabolical scheme to prevent elections and make himself president for life? I used to just shake my head and laugh at this stuff, but lately I’m more like, Shit, that’s a long way from being the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

Not only that hot mess, but also this:
Can’t imagine why anyone would have a problem with that, considering that other parts of the “Hell House”-style attraction — an exercise in bringing a Chick Tract to life — would depict a botched abortion (presumably sending the woman and the doctor to Hell) and another re-creation of a mass shooting, the 2015 massacre at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, where we presume all the victims went straight to heaven, so that would be the happiest massacre of all.
Dylann Roof would be so proud.

Gab, the Alt-Right’s Very Own Twitter, Is The Ultimate Filter Bubble
THE INTERNET HAS a speech regulation problem. To a lot of people (including WIRED), harassment and hate speech are corruptions of the democratization promised by the Web, and websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram take constant flack for not dealing with the problem adequately enough. To the group calling itself the alt-right, which is really another word for white supremacists, any moderation looks like censorship. Their anger at being supposedly sidelined and silenced has spawned hashtag campaigns, think pieces, and now, a brand-new social media platform, Gab. Its primary schtick is promising an end to censorship. But by sequestering itself, Gab has managed to sideline it members further into an echo chamber so far removed from the rest of the conversation that its message has no chance of reaching unfamiliar ears.
Gab is less than a month old, so it may well flame out like Peach or Ello. But for now, the platform looks like an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter. Gab has over 42,000 people on its waitlist, more than 11,000 active members, and among them are nearly all the alt-right’s online kingpins, including the Internet’s self-styled super-villain, Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos himself, who was recently banned for life from Twitter. And Gab’s appeal for that crowd is obvious. The only posting guidelines are no illegal porn, no threats of violence, no terrorism, and no doxing. Oh, and a fifth commandment that literally says “try to be nice.” Everything else is fair game. Notably absent? Any explicit stipulations against hate speech.

re: #40 teleskiguy
Oh, I think it’s more like the misses keep coming…and hitting the floor…
Trump = Larry
Jones = Moe
Putin = Curly
Time travel. It’s a well worn sci-fi gimmick and this season there are several TV shows that use it. All of them fall into the usual plot traps.
I’ve been trying to follow Travelers and even though the acting is good there is a huge plot hole. Name…
By coming back in time and taking over the bodies of people about to die, they are ensuring that person appears to keep on living. Thus they’ve already changed history. Any one of the travelers could accidentally set off a chain of events that lead to the non-existence of the supposed future from which they came.
Now one can say that by their presence that possibility is ruled out, but in the episodes so far it shows that their plans can change, and receive messages from the future that certain travelers’ plans have changed. Their “director” in the future is changing plans for travelers. This means there must be a fluidity to the path of events. If there is this fluidity, then how does one avoid the paradox?
Also, like so much fiction, including science-fiction, there is a remnant of creationism in the story. The premise (and this doesn’t need a spoiler as it’s the advertised gimmick to draw in viewers) is that consciousness from the future can be forced into bodies in the past.
This means our self-dialogue, our thinking, exists outside the cells of our nervous system.
This is contra to what we know about reality. Instead, it is a retelling of the meme of the “soul”, a convenient way to imagine life after death.
Clinton is underperforming Obama 2012 in 10 of 12 traditional swing states, despite having a larger lead in the popular vote. pic.twitter.com/23iAiK49hB
— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) November 1, 2016
Do you notice what Nate is doing here? He’s comparing Clinton’s 2016 polls to Obama’s 2012 actual election day performance in order to create the narrative that she’s doing worse in swing states at this point in the race. If he had compared her swing state polls to his swing state polls the horserace narrative he’s selling would’ve fallen completely apart.
I’m off for the rack.
So, today we learned, as far as I can determine, that Drumpf is up to his eyebrows in Russian debt through the Alfa Bank and that the Russian government has taken over his oppo, which explains his not paying his actual oppo organization in San Antonio $750,000. Oh, and he has a dedicated call and response server from Trump Tower to the bank.
Ruh-roh.
In addition, that Russian oppo is dumping the D’s hacked e-mails into the US through Wikileaks to queer (original use of the word) the election.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that Trump’s 2014 trip may have resulted in him being filmed with a Tatiana plant (Me love you long time! Sucky fucky electric tongue number one!).
So. A traditional Presidential election continues apace.
Fuck my life.

The reality of the polls right now?

The stories would be about how she’s worse than Nixon because Nixon actually won twice, while Trump would be hailed as carrying a mandate that would set off a new Republican renaissance.

You gotta keep those clean and periodically apply triple antibiotic. If they’re infected now though they absolutely gotta go. I’ve never seen surface stitches stay in longer than two weeks max, usually less, and they should be completely visible from the outside. I mean, there’s a chance the inflammation could be caused by an absorbable suture deeper inside, sometimes that can happen. I’d call the VA and see if you can get an NP to advise you on what to do.

re: #85 goddamnedfrank
You gotta keep those clean and periodically apply triple antibiotic. If they’re infected now though they absolutely gotta go. I’ve never seen surface stitches stay in longer than two weeks max, usually less, and they should be completely visible from the outside. I mean, there’s a chance the inflammation could be caused by an absorbable suture deeper inside, sometimes that can happen. I’d call the VA and see if you can get an NP to advise you on what to do.
I have to call the VA nurse at the Sidney VA Clinic tomorrow anyway.
The stitches were removed some two weeks after the surgery; apparently a couple threads were left behind.

Been there a couple times. It really is. My understanding is that Bass Pro Shops bought Cabelas, so the corporate downtown offices in Sidney will be closed, but the Cabela’s store will remain open.
Cabela’s is adding another building next to the store (to be more store). The City of Sidney is doing a large number of infrastructure improvements between downtown and the state link highway between US-385 and I-80 (in the middle of which is Cabela’s).

I’ve seen the map before, which shows my county as predominantly Roman Catholic.
The former Roman Catholic Church in my village is now the gun shop (we call it the Church of the NRA).
As far as I am aware, there is only one Catholic Church in my county. There is also one Greek Orthodox Church in my county. A couple Lutheran Churches, a couple Mennonite Churches. A United Methodist Church.
Do they get the numbers based on numbers of churches, or reported members of those churches? (I have no idea for example if there are more people in the Catholic Church than the Greek Orthodox Church for example.)

Libertarian VP candidate Bill Weld lights into James Comey:
Libertarian vice presidential nominee William Weld lit into James Comey, saying Monday that his decision to announce a review of new emails was “disgraceful” and that the FBI director and the agency were “off the reservation.”
“They’re totally off the reservation,” Weld told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota Monday on “New Day,” adding that the US Attorney General may need to get involved to rein in Comey.

Miami Herald takes Senator Marco Rubio to task in an op-ed:
Senator No-Show is campaigning hard to return to the Senate after telling Florida voters he wouldn’t run for re-election.
No one who has followed Marco Rubio’s political acrobatics was surprised by this 180-degree pirouette, which occurred soon after Donald Trump humiliated him in the state’s presidential primary. Nor is there any mystery to Rubio’s motive. Being in the Senate is the only way he can stay sufficiently visible to run for the White House again in four years.
When pressed, Rubio says he intends to serve the full term as a senator. Who believes that? There’s only one job he cares about, and he’s going to try again in 2020. Everybody’s aware of his awful attendance record, and that he dislikes the job. “I don’t know that ‘hate’ is the right word,” he told the Washington Post last year. “I’m frustrated.”

I’m convinced that Rage Furby’s latest tweetstorm is a result of the embarrassing story in Daily Beast about his tussle with Roger Stone. And maybe things are not cool at home, either, because he’s been misogynistic more than usual.
He’s unhinged. Just reading over his tweets is a peek into a troubled mind.
An author at The Atlantic, after the DDos attack that locked up much of the East and West coasts, set up a server to see how long hackers would take to find it and try to hack into it.
Less than one hour.
This graphic is a simulation—a bot’s-eye view, if you will—but it’s the actual sequence of commands the hacking script used. It tried a common default username and password (root/root) and executed the “sh” command, giving it the ability to run programs and install its own code. My fake toaster doesn’t allow that, of course—it just cuts the connection.
The next hacking attempt, from a different IP address and using different login credentials, came at 2:07 p.m. Another came at 2:10. And then 2:40. And 2:48. In all, more than 300 different IP addresses attempted to hack my honeypot by 11:59 p.m. Many of them used the password “xc3511,” which was the factory default for many of the old webcams hijacked in last week’s attack.
The last attempted hack came 5 minutes ago, using the username root and the password root. (Yes, those are live figures; they were updated when you loaded this page.)

October is over, and this year the Arctic sea ice extent is at a record low, and there isn’t much thick ice up against the Canadian archipelago.
None of which makes headlines anymore, especially this week.
They are though signs that the world surface is getting warmer.
This also was a story yesterday:
Study blames warm winter for low snowpack levels
The western United States set records for low winter snowpack levels in 2015, and a new report blames high temperatures rather than low precipitation levels, according to a new study.
Greenhouse gases appear to be a major contributor to the high temperatures, according to the study published Monday in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Scientists looked at snow-measurement sites in California, Oregon, Washington, western Nevada and western Idaho. They found that in 2015, more than 80 percent of those sites experienced record low snowpack levels as a result of much warmer-than-average temperatures.

I discovered the phenomenon as a young child trying to scam my parents about some bullshit thing during a long road trip. I can’t remember what I was trying to get away with but I clearly remember there was a moment when I realized my reactions to having my lie challenged evoked an initial genuine feeling that the lie was true and they were wrong. At that point without even being scolded I pulled back, realizing the danger at play in attempting to continue the ruse.
When I grew up I just kind of considered that a basic phase of development that everyone must go through.
Clearly not everyone goes through it.

Germany has its own sovereign citizen movement problem, exposed after a police officer was shot.
Who are the Reichsbürger? They do not actually exist as an organization as such. They are instead a very fragmented and somewhat contradictory scene without a leader or hierarchy. The only things that unite the movement are the belief that the German Empire still exists and the refusal to acknowledge the Federal Republic of Germany as a state. In the opinion of the Reichsbürger, the German Reich still exists, as do the country’s 1937 borders. They consider the Federal Republic of Germany to instead be a limited liability company.
Some of the Reichsbürger have their own “substitute documents” like the Reichs-ID, which they carry with them as though it were an official identity card. They have even founded states like the “Exile Government of the German Reich” or the “Free State of Prussia”. The “imperial citizens” deny the legitimacy of state institutions such as courts or police and do not accept state decisions. They often do not pay taxes or fines and frequently annoy authorities with their formal complaints or long, written statements.

It also, as previously established, looks worse than hammered shit. It’s like someone put on a design clinic and this was the example of everything you should never do. It’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions. Whoever modified the original graphic file for production was a fucking moron, it’s no joke the worst thing I’ve ever seen actually get produced. Take the stupid frogman with the rifle, notice how the top of his hair and body below the sign is missing? The original design had him on top of the wall with the top of his head cut off by the top edge of the image but the dimensions were all wrong for a billboard / banner application so they quickly just had someone move the rifleman frog and drag him down from where he originally was above the wall to his current position popping above the “US Border” sign. Same thing with the top of the moonman, all of which happened because the idiots didn’t save their last work in progress with layers.

Lots. Southern African Americans traditionally turn out for early voting en masse after Church on Sunday. It’s a tradition. In 2012 there were only two early voting days at this point, both on a weekend. He’s comparing that to a much longer period this year, with most EV days so far falling during the week. Lastly, you’re looking at percentages of the total, not total numbers of voters in each category.

Its slightly possible, since Trump’s rebound has put him back in the lead in Az, Ia, Oh and Maine’s 2nd congressional district, and made Nv, Fl and NC into tossups. If he can flip NH as well, which is small and elastic, Trump can get to 270. While it sounds like low probability to win a bunch of states that are tossups, since support across states is correlated and not completely independent of each other a Trump surge this last week could flip them all.
Looks like that NYTimes story hasn’t stopped the spread of the Trump as Manchurian Candidate story.

Germany has its own sovereign citizen movement problem, exposed after a police officer was shot.
They consider the Federal Republic of Germany to instead be a limited liability company.
In that respect, I have to agree with them.
They also consider Germany an “occupied nation” and refuse to accept the authority of the “occupying powers”.
But yes, they are are a bunch of whacked-our f*cks, but I suspect that if they try to occupy federal property, they will not be allowed to get off without so much a slap on the wrist…

re: #198 Nyet
Abstract
In mid-2011, the Florida legislature reduced the state’s early voting period from fourteen days to eight and eliminated
the final Sunday of early voting. We compare observed voting patterns in 2012 with those in the 2008 General
Election and find that racial/ethnic minorities, registered Democrats, and those without party affiliation had significant
early voting participation drops and that voters who cast ballots on the final Sunday in 2008 were disproportionately
unlikely to cast a valid ballot in 2012. Florida’s decision to truncate early voting may have diminished participation rates
of those already least likely to vote.
re: #196 Nyet
Your question can be answered by simply following the original link.
Okay I went back and read the entire blog post again.
So my question stands: Where’d he get his information. It does not say other than this:
Here are the latest figures I’ve calculated by linking the statewide September 30, 2016 voter file with daily Early In-Person and Vote-by-Mail returns, and comparing these figures with data from 2012 at the same point in time (that is, through Sunday, October 30, 2016, and Sunday, October 28, 2012).
Let’s break that down.
a) Statewide September 30 (over a month old) voter file, compared to votes in 2012 and 2016. No links to these voter files, no information about where he got his Early In-Person and Vote-by-Mail returns, or how he would determine those votes are African-American votes (I don’t recall a “race” block on my ballot but maybe Florida is different).
re: #200 Nyet
Our analysis provides considerable evidence that
Sawyer and other critics of Florida’s plan to reduce its
early voting period were substantially correct.
Notwithstanding the fact that the aggregate number of
early voting hours remained at ninety-six in many of
Florida’s sixty-seven counties including its five Section
5 counties (Bousquet 2012a), the voting rights of racial
and ethnic minorities appear to have been disproportionately
hampered by the reduction in the number of early
voting days and particularly the elimination of the final
Sunday of early voting. Our comparison of early voting
patterns in 2008 with 2012 reveals that racial and ethnic
minorities as well as Democrats and unaffiliated voters
were far disproportionately less likely to vote early in
2012 than in 2008. The cause of this drop is likely a combination
of campaign effects and the reduction by
approximately one-third in the number of early voting
days in Florida in conjunction with the elimination of the
final Sunday of voting. These changes by the Florida
legislature clearly made early voting less convenient and
less accessible for Florida voters with inflexible schedules,
and this is consistent with our analysis that reveals
that early voters who cast their ballots on the final
Sunday of early voting in 2008 were considerably less
likely to turn out to vote in 2012.

Yes, I understand that these idiots have no sense of irony.
But there is one thing that stuck in my craw about German reunification: According to the West German Constitution, the country was supposed to reunify by dissolving both the German Federal Republic (West) and the German Democratic Republic (East) and creating an entirely new Republic.
Instead, the West just “annexed” the East. And Allianz, Germany’s largest insurance company, acquired a 51% share of the East German state insurance company in one fell swoop.
The government offered an exchange rate for East German Marks that was beneficial for small private savings up to around $25,000, but basically guaranteed that nearly every company in the East went bankrupt, whereupon they were taken over by Western investors.
So there is some degree of substance to their claim that Germany is a corporate state.

They’re claiming that it’s a literal LLC.

Oh I wonder how Ginger Snapped is gonna make an even bigger fool of himself on his Reddit AMA…
Is “selective sealioning” a thing?
1. If you don’t like the results provided by an expert, try to find some reason to dismiss the expert. It doesn’t matter if the expert doesn’t seem biased against you on the first look. There’s always something.
For example, google for his university page, find an old, out-of-date one, which lists his old title.
Do not bother to search further, run with the very first result you’ve gotten.
Voila, an expert becomes a fraud who lies about his affiliation!
2. Ask for each step of the calculation leading to the result you don’t like. Question each step. A word of an expert doesn’t mean anything if you don’t like the result, it’s worth as much as that of a random person. So get down to brass tacks. It doesn’t matter that the expert appears to know what they’re doing (like having many peer-reviewed papers on the topic) and they’re not making an extraordinary claim but performing a mundane calculation. You might not be able to evaluate the raw data, but demand it anyway. If it’s not provided, declare victory.
3. Do not repeat the procedure if you like the results.

I am feeling incredibly queasy. Not sure how I am going to eat today.
So, everyone remembers that nearly $1 billion loss Trump took on his tax return, which could have wiped out his need to pay federal income tax for nearly 20 years?
Well, folks have been digging around Trump’s bankruptcy filings and other court papers, and they have found a few more curious things that may help inform Trump’s tax mess. Tax Notes reports a bunch of curiosities with Trump’s tax loss and its relationship to various bankruptcy filings and debt offerings. Tax Notes refers to the Tax Policy Center’s analysis.
In fact, it suggests that Trump was stretching the tax law beyond all reasonable measures (and could explain why he’s constantly under audit). For one thing, Trump didn’t just engage in a partnership equity for debt swap. He inserted a funding corporation into that structure, which means that the debt that was exchanged wasn’t even the debt of the partnership. This could have helped Trump avoid nearly half a billion dollars right there, but it also raises questions as to why the losses weren’t zeroed out when the debt connected to them was discharged.
We’re talking about creative financing and tax practice that was intended to shield Trump from all kinds of tax liability, and in the process appears to have stretched the bounds of what is considered acceptable tax practice (go figure).

There’s way too much poll volatility to draw any meaningful conclusion other than pollsters are up to their usual end-of-election season efforts to try and get to where they think the outcome will be.
The odds of Clinton winning are still quite high, and that means making sure getting out to vote, and voting GOPers out of office, especially in the Senate, where they’re already pushing for 4 more years of obstructionism, particularly on judicial nominees. This cannot be tolerated or allowed, when the GOP has spent years obstructing everything the sitting president has done, and obstructed the confirmation of a presidential supreme court nominee simply because he’s the president’s choice- not because he’s unqualified or anything of the sort.

One of the reasons for turnout among African Americans being down, particularly in NC, is that the NC GOP has managed to reduce the number of polling places, making it more difficult to go vote. That has consequences.
The GOP is sustained by lousy voting turnout. They need to suppress voter turnout to ensure continued control in Congress, and even at the state level.

Donna Brazile can get CNN debate questions and forward them to Clinton but Donald’s CNN paid inside man, Corey Lewandowski, can’t get squat for him?

So I did a thing and lined up all of Hillary’s “safe” states and I have her at 264 EV.* For the moment I’m not giving her Nevada, NC or FL. She will need to win one of those states.
*I’m assuming she carries PA, Michigan, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Colorado, NH, VA, gets 2 of Maine’s “at-large” EVs (Maine awards 2 others by CD). I’m not giving her the one Nebraska EV which is by CD but neither that or Maine’s 2 CD votes will matter much. She will need to win Nevada, or NC or FL anyway.
So I think that’s where we are.

It’s a shame it’s come to this, counting EV’s, hoping for 270, but that’s where we are. If D’s take the Senate, they can nuke the filibuster and appoint Scalia’s replacement, and I won’t bat an eye—the GOP is disqualifying itself from any claim to political norms.

I’d rank them: Nevada, Florida, and North Carolina if I had to think about it. I’m definitely down with that though too. The GOP has vowed to block anyone Clinton picks for the court. They play hardball, we’ll play it back.

I feel good about Florida as well. It’s worth pointing this out regarding Florida but Obama won it by less than a point against Romney and just under 3 against McCain. You have to ask me. I think she wins it maybe by four. I really think the Hispanic vote is going to play a big role in a Clinton win.

I actually feel good about NC as well honestly but it’s the least reliably Democratic of the three.

The two I honestly once felt confident about that I no longer do are Iowa and Ohio and they may surprise me yet.

I also wouldn’t fret much about the “She might win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote” talk. That’s just pretty rare, even though it happened just 16 short years ago. The larger her popular vote lead the more likely the EV will follow. The polling average still has her in the +4-5 point range, meaning the race could still narrow some without changing the main trend.

I was hopeful about Ohio until recently. The Comey letter probably put the nail in the coffin for those two states, if there was any chance at all there. About Iowa, Mike freaking Dukakis won Iowa in 1988. So, the demographic changes that are helping Dems in some places (mostly the upper South and Hispanic West) are being balanced out by shifts elsewhere (White Mid-West).

Hell Dukakis won West Virginia and while HW Bush won PA, Dukakis won in Western Pa whereas Obama and likely Clinton will likely only win in Allegheny County and struggle in the Pittsburgh burbs and beyond. It’s unfortunate since this is actually my family’s ancestral hometurf but the white midwest has become fertile Republican ground as Republicans take advantage of resentments about trade and immigration. Now the good news is the Dems are making big gains in areas like the upper South and West that are gaining population while these areas are losing population. I also don’t see any Republican candidate in the near future having Trump’s appeal to the white working class like he has either.

Less Evangelicals and more college educated people there would be my guess.

My take is—no Democrat is going to lose the Kerry map, especially against Trump. Adding VA and NM, which have become pretty solid Democratic, at least on the Presidential level, that’s 264.

That and I think the rise in cultural issues being a big decider in votes. I believe Gore’s loss in WV which looks tiny compared to Kerry and Obama’s was attributed to guns.

I don’t see why she would. There were plenty of people with equally progressive records as Bernie like John Lewis and others that strongly supported her. What I’ve been trying to get across to my brother who like yourself supported Bernie is if Hillary is elected, that means very likely a majority for the Dems in the Senate and Bernie chairing a very important committee, Paul Ryan fretted about this very fact.
re: #370 HappyWarrior
That and I think the rise in cultural issues being a big decider in votes. I believe Gore’s loss in WV which looks tiny compared to Kerry and Obama’s was attributed to guns. Abortion I believe pushed one of my own great aunts to vote for W over Kerry which stumped my grandmother since her sister had voted for pro-choice Dems before and she’s actually voting for HRC this year.
I think cultural issues have been important for a while, that is, things like abortion, patriotism, etc.
But the election of a Black president, the rapid and dramatic shift towards gay rights and gay marriage, coupled with the continuing economic decline in some pockets of the heartland, has magnified the racial and cultural resentment on the part of some. Put it another way, while cultural issues have always mattered, the stakes have gotten higher.

Yes, I think you’re right about that. It’s sad. honestly. Honestly, as much as the bigotry and there certainly is some bigotry in the rust belt and heartland towards gays, racial and religious minorities bothers me, I do feel bad for the people there because I think while they were becoming Reagan Democrats, the Reagan Administration screwed them royally and they blame the wrong people for their communities’ economic declines.
I just wish voters upset about things like NAFTA and trade deals that are Trump curious would look at what he’s actually done. I won’t claim that Clinton’s record matches what they may want on trade but Clinton supported trade deals she thought would be good for everyone, Trump used those same trade deals to personally enrich himself and now that he sees some of the country has been hurt by those deals, he uses it as a cynical political tool to cultivate resentment and votes. Where was Donald when Ross Perot railed against NAFTA?
re: #363 Sir John Barron
I wonder why HRC is doing better in Wisconsin and Michigan than in Ohio?
As an Ohioan I wish I could give you a reason. My thinking is the polling does not reflect the overall dissatisfaction with the mess this election has been. The people I know don’t even want to talk about it. Many can’t believe Trump is even a candidate.
So, with that I am guessing people are holding their noses and are going to go vote and be done with it. That also means they probably are not taking part in polling or any kind of activity that would give a real indication of their true feelings.
Now Trump supporters are a bit different. They seem to be loud and proud of it all.
Summation: I’m thinking the state is going to go for Hillary in a stealth type of vote that will be close.

Cultural issues have been important since Reagan, but declining. The only time they tilted the election was when GOP ratfuckers put all those anti-SSM initiatives on state ballots in 2004. My personal “average of the polls +2 points D” metric broke. I thought I had to discard it, but in 2012 “average of the polls +3.2 D” is how it turned out.
2004 was a one-time thing. That fresh cohort of troglodytes is baked-in now. Plus, Right-wing disinformation pollsters like Rasmussen are screwing up the average worse every election. Hillary’s ahead 5 or 6 in the polls—I suspect that means 9 or 10 in reality.
Of course I could be fooled again…but by Trump?

Well, you would need to see what the voters self identify as too. Wisconsin always has had a more progressive tradition than Ohio has. As I said too, I think Ohio has more white Evangelicals than Wisconsin does.

Ohio is home to a pretty progressive tradition as well, particularly with abolitionists. But obviously that’s a much older progressive tradition than the Progressive La Follete represented.

Yes, I’d look at that as well. Now honestly what’s interesting about here in Virginia is the percentage of people that are white and black that vote Democratic and Republican really hasn’t changed that much as the state has become more competitive but the state has grown more diverse. This is a considerably more diverse state in 2016 than it was in my parents childhood or even my own. North Carolina is experiencing a similar thing IMO but on a smaller scale.

Oh true. And they also have the currently very popular Sherrod Brown who would have made an interesting running mate for HRC. Anyhow, thinking about that, it just speaks to everything has its strengths and weaknesses. I think Brown would have helped Clinton among blue collar white voters whereas I don’t see how he’d make the same impact that Kaine has with Latinos especially. Not that I think Brown is hostile to Latinos nor Kaine to blue collar workers but each man has his strengths.

What’s crazy to think about though is how in some of what are now some of the most ultra-conservative parts of the country are also some of the areas that Eugene Debs did some of his best in. So, just think some guy now in 2016 rails against socialist Obummer while his great great grandaddy may have pulled the lever for Debs.
Another “barometer” for election results:
Hillsborough County likely to predict winner of presidential election
Hillsborough County’s majority vote has predicted the winner of the presidential election 19 out of the last 20 elections, according to political analysts.
[…]
More than 232,000 votes have been cast in mail-in ballots and early voting in Hillsborough.
So far, democrats lead republicans in voter turnout by 17 percent. Just over 86,000 republicans have voted, compared to about 100,000 democrats.
Perhaps this is why HIllary, Bill, Joe, and Michelle have been spending so much time in the area over the last 2 weeks.
Goddammit, Hillary critics are grasping for straws here. These asshats, which includes douchebro Gary Johnson supporters, whine about Trump signs being taken out of their yard and making it out to be the worst crime of all.
These people believe that Trump supporters are a peaceful lot and never resort to violence. They keep crying over the freedom of speech argument, but forget this one important part: freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Plus, free speech only applies to the government, as the government can not infringe upon your speech or expression.

Ohio has always gotten a lot of people from Kentucky and West Virginia. Lots of ex-western Pennsylvanians too. Columbus has a large amount of ex PA folks.

re: #411 Dr. Matt
Yup.
I just checked. Obama beat Romney by just over 6% there which no doubt factored big in his overall win in the state since Obama won Florida against Mitt by .87%. I honestly feel pretty good about HRC’s chances in Florida. In fact, I think she could do better than Obama did in margin of victory.
Speaking as an Indianapolis resident in very-low middle-class burbs, most of the Republican signs I see, and I see LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of them are for Sandlin, Ping, Speedy, like hundreds of them for those three in the 2 block area I spend the most time…I’ve seen less than a dozen for Hair Furor in that same area.

The thing I’m going to be watching for next Tuesday is how many of the Deplorables undervote down ballot races (or vote for third party nominees) because the Republican nominee had the audacity to not fully support Trump. There are six or seven very close Senate races and if a significant number of Deplorables go that route (and let’s face it, they seem to be driven by spite as much as anything), that could result in the Dems sweeping those close races.

Colorado and New Hampshire have had polls within the margin of error lately. As has Wisconsin. Of course, even if he wins one of those three states, he’d still have to sweep the toss up states.
Also, something that’s not getting a lot of attention but they’ve mentioned a few times on Keepin’ It 1600, is that during the primaries, Trump never out performed his polling numbers.

That’s a good point. He never outperformed his polling numbers. As I said earlier, he definitely has a floor and one that is higher than it ought to be but his ceiling is hampered by his weaknesses both as a candidate and how he campaigns, the poor ground game/GOTV is one of those.

Think the point is that Comey isn’t explicitly helping Putin or being on his payroll, but rather being a useful idiot that’s inadvertently doing Putin’s work in dogging on the Hillary email hunt to the point his FBI is giving ‘real time updates’ on the case.
I’m told the crowd of a few hundred here for Trump’s healthcare speech is guests invited by RNC, local GOP, campaign - including volunteers.

re: #449 KGxvi
Colorado and New Hampshire have had polls within the margin of error lately. As has Wisconsin. Of course, even if he wins one of those three states, he’d still have to sweep the toss up states.
So:
1. I have to assume the polls that show the most favorable numbers for Trump are the most accurate of all the polls taken for those states.
2. Then I have to look at the 95% confidence interval of those polls, and assume that those polls themselves greatly overstate Clinton’s actual lead.

This initial release consists of material from the FBI’s files related to the William J. Clinton Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The bulk of these records come from a 2001 FBI investigation into the pardon of Marc Rich (1934-2013), aka Marcell David Reich, by President Clinton in 2001; it was closed in 2005. The material is heavily redacted due to personal privacy protections and grand jury secrecy rules.
