Yeah I don't understand why that picture is supposed to be offensive. I'm sure if Romney was ahead with a lead lower than the margin, people would want that caveat pointed out.
Ok.

It's on the outskirts of the margin though. So it's approaching very very unlikely to be tied territory.

You're right. I should have said why someone is likely to win. It was a poor choice of words on my part.

This is a marvelous flying buttress.
American politics is so easy to predict. You cracked the code.

It is when you look at the right things. Hence why Nate Silver has a job.

I cleared up the language because I admit I didn't illustrate my point well.
Some things are easy to predict.
One candidate has more money, more party support, is leading in the polls, has higher name recognition, higher approval and support within every minority community, has the better ground game, the better more diverse staff, is actually a member of the party s/he's trying to represent......the other doesn't.
I mean, emotions aside, anyone who knows anything about politics can tell you which is the better horse to bet on.

Yes. I'm just saying that if that poll was published in e.g. a peer-reviewed journal, it would not be used to say that there is not a tie, because the margin is not significant enough.

The real question is whether Will.I.Am will host the debate via hologram.
People can try the stream in their browser too:

So the stream is only a preview? Come on cnn...
Correct way to report that is honestly "Obama is leading, but lead within the margin of error".
I think that image is used because its emblematic of a lot of the talking heads in the media's strong insistence the 2012 election was "too close to call" when most intelligent analysis of polling data and understanding of the Electoral College suggested it was anything but.
Does Sanders have much debate experience?
I hope not. There's literally zero reason for it to be that long.
It's not like this is an actual debate. It's questions and answers.

Shit, Donald Trump will be live tweeting this? That's amazing.
Could a kind soul paste this head of a different old white man over the head of the current old white man I have on my avatar?
I have no clue how to resize things, but I'd be very appreciative. It can be pasted over the Splatoon splats on my current avatar's face, because I always "stack" my avatar editions instead of having them removed.
Here are some Bernie decapitated heads I quickly made.

Thanks. Are there 2 separate CNN streams? The one on CNN GO and the one you linked seem to be different...

A large amount and is reportedly very effective, but little prior experience at national level (other than floor debates).

It means it will only work during the debates.

Is this one working for others?
The video player doesn't start for me. Not a US resident.
Not on a stage like this but he's got plenty of general debate experience. I'm pretty much all in for him, but I have no idea what to expect. I don't think he'll be as refined the other candidates which could hurt, or it could work out like it does for the Republicans.
I don't think he'll do badly. I just think his supporters are really underestimating Hillary's ability to debate.

I'm sure Sanders will do fine. However, anyone who thinks Hillary can't debate, or won't hit back if necessary, really needs to go back and look at the 2008 debates.
Well, in the past Republican debates, the most popular tweets were from Bernie Sanders. It is a fun experience.

CNN is scummy and banks on its viewers not being up to scratch on stats and margin of error though. So they're able to sell "dead heat" to their viewers and try to push ratings.
I know you get this. I just really dislike CNN lol
I think they are just calling it that. Their real preview has a countdown timer, I don't have one so I doubt it will shut off.

Not on this stage obviously, but yeah, he has plenty of experience.
And as anyone who has ever seen him speak on the Senate floor knows, he has great oratory skills. I'm sure he'll be able to deliver some great answers tonight.

ugh cnn coverage is terrible.

John King >>>>>>
I kind of agree with what they said that he needs to be a little more personable in terms of his history. Just hitting people with facts isn't going to work for a lot of the population. He should mention things like his civil rights activism and stuff like that. He's been on the same side of his issues his whole life in a lot of areas. It'd be good to mention that a bit.
