It infuriates me that we're in this worried predicament because two of the teabagger-iest candidates in the country have some how tricked the media and the populace of a not completely batshit state that they're not extremists but totally reasonable, common sense conservatives.

And why the fuck is Scott Brown roughly tied with Shaheen when he was getting his ass whooped just a few weeks ago?

 

[thepotatoman]

~48 hours away before no more PoliGAF Kay Hagan jokes/memes.

Now that's the worst possible news for Kay Hagan.

and where the hell did you get this from?

 

[Wilsongt]

Fox News hyping up the scott brown win due to his focus on issues on foreign policy and ebola.

There was a poll that was posted the other day, either here or DK that had Brown winning by 2.

 

[WayneMorse]

Gardner leading Udall by 3% .

 

[Oblivion]

Gardner leading Udall by 3% .

Is that a poll, or currently where early voting's at?

This makes me so mad. As if he has any more experience dealing with those than Shaheen does.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Gardner up 3 is a PPP poll

Meh, they had Buck winning by a similar amount and we all know how that went down.

And no way is Brown winning.

Gas prices too hard? Obama is terrible for the economy.
Gas prices too low? Obama is terrible for the economy.

Truly a damned if you do, damned if you don't president.

Honestly, it probably does make people go to the polls in a better mood.

"Oh damn, gas was 2.85? What a fun day. You know, maybe that incumbent dude isnt so bad"

Bad news for non-incumbents.

Obama

African president brings us African problems.

Shaheen did drop a bit of a zinger about protecting our borders, but in this case, she was talking about protecting NH's borders from Scott Brown.

I think the Repubs are gunna ink this one out; the map is just too favorable for them atm.

Yes, in both the fivethirtyeight and princeton analysis.

As a Floridian, a Scott loss would cheer me up a bit Tuesday night.

Funny how these glitches seem to only go one way. Unless there are other reports I have missed.

 

[Diablos]

Funny how these glitches seem to only go one way. H less there are other reports I have missed.

What is infururiating to me is if Republicans really back their rhetoric enusring every vote is legitimate, then they'd also ensure the software on every fucking voting machine adheres to the same testing standards statewide, minimizing if not eliminating situations where people knowingly (or unknowingly) cast their vote for someone else.

Since 2004 it's safe to say glitchy voting software, be it from bugs discovered in the wild or even apparent intentional tampering, pose a much greater threat to the legitimacy of one's vote than all the horseshit the GOP spews about voter fraud.

Simply put, over the past 10 years the greatest amount of fraud likely hasn't come from any person claiming to be someone else, but gltichy software/configurations that recorded someone's vote incorrectly or threw it away. In 2012 one of my relatives went to vote with her husband and the machine crashed on them. They said there was nothing they could do and were left with no choice but to leave with their votes essentially tossed out, because no one knew how to actually see if their votes were counted or not.

PPP:

Ernst: 48%
Braley: 47%
Undecided (HOW): 5%

43% said they have already voted.

Quinnipiac:

Braley: 47%
Ernst: 47%
Undecided (AGAIN STOP): 4%

Heh NPR mentioned McConnel looks like a turtle.

43% said they have already voted.

Quinnipiac:

Braley: 47%
Ernst: 47%
Undecided (AGAIN STOP): 4%

So Braley wins if the election day vote is relatively close, due to early voting? I'm still expecting an Ernst win but this is an interesting development.

If dems keep the senate you know what's going to happen in 2016 when Hillary has an 80-90% chance to win by October against Scott Walker: a revitalized right wing poll skewing movement, always pointing out how wrong the polls were in 2014. Nevermind the fact that if 2014 polls are wrong it's because they suck at polling Hispanics (CO) and Alaska in general.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Chances are those undecided voters probably won't even show up. Or they like to be speshul snowflakes.

I think I need to see a few more campaign ads before I walk into the polling place in five minutes before I make my decision.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

No Durbin implosion in IL so that's good.

Damn Rauner must be a new level of shit if he loses to a guy with a 34% approval rating.

My personal view as a Chicagoan--

I don't think Quinn's done a good job, but I look to the immediate North and think of the consequences of a GOP Governor.

 

[BertramCooper]

Heh NPR mentioned McConnel looks like a turtle.

Speaking of NPR, did you catch the story about immigration's role in the Colorado Senate race this morning?

http://www.npr.org/2014/11/03/361069785/colorado-voters-cite-immigration-as-a-hot-button-issue

Boy oh boy, that was some of the most brazen racism I've heard on the radio in a long time. (Then again, I don't listen to right-wing talk radio.)

 

[thepotatoman]

Talk about a last minute correction. Quinnipac finally releases a non-insane Colorado poll 45% Gardner - 43% Udall.

Quinnipac since September: Gardner +8, Gardner +6, Gardner +7, Gardner +2

I live in walking distance of a polling place, I have zero excuses not to vote tomorrow.

I live in walking distance of a polling place, I have zero excuses not to vote tomorrow.

True, but polling places are everywhere; my parents live in sprawling single-use zoned neighborhood and their polling place (neighborhood church) is even within walking distance. This is good, because less people would vote if they had to deal with long lines.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Trying to determine whether I have time to vote during lunch, or if I should get up super early before work and vote.

I would've given those anti-Franken add-makers more credit had they used a better pic..
