@JohnJHarwood
Team Trump view of shortest path to 270: Romney states (though now behind in NC) + IA/OH/NV (now ahead) + FL/NH (behind) + ME 2. exactly 270

Oh no they think they're ahead in NV.

 

[Geg]

Can we get another meltdown of everyone's favorite political strategist?

What's Rove been up to this election cycle anyway?

 

[Holmes]

Oh no they think they're ahead in NV.

The gag will be on them.

 

[AntraxSuicide]

That's a bit of an overgeneralization.

Nah, I really don't think it is. Like, the logical inconsistency of "Abortion is murder, but if you were raped, maybe you can do a little murder" isn't something you need years of philosophy to see. It's pretty clear that if these people actually believed this, they'd be opposed to abortion in all cases.

But most people aren't. What they are opposed to is women going to the doctor and getting an abortion without checking in with the father, and if he says no, then she'd better not get one. It's straight-up ownership of a woman's body.

They should go outside to determine for themselves.

 

[BravesCountry]

So sowing distrust in government and media has negative consequences? Gee who would have thought?

Makes me think of Glenn Beck realizing way too late how much harm he caused to this nation. He sees this kind of thing and goes ah shit...now he's trying to walk it back but it is too late. He was one of the main drivers of bringing conspiracies mainstream.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

As someone living in NC, I'd love for this state to overpower red and go blue.

At least the overmatched fellow masquerading as governor is helping to turn out the opposition vote.

Meanwhile, preparations for one or more additional North Korean nuclear tests are continuing.

Sure, 100+ dead already, videos and pics to confirm, but it's just one giant conspiracy by liberal "scientists"! Don't even bother evacuating, that's just what they want you to do.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Oh.

Yes please.

 

[Holmes]

Oh.

Survey date?

 

[RustyNails]

Early voting will be affected in FL terribly and Mook is asking for extension. Rick Scott will most likely deny the request.

 

[User 463088]

Oh.

 

[whyamihere]

Survey date?

Methodology: This survey employed live callers and automated phone messages, which was completed by OH Predictive Insights on September 28-30, 2016, from a 2016 general election sample. Poll was weighted to reflect likely general election turnout. The sample size was 718 completed surveys, with a MoE of ± 3.66% with 22% cell phones/78% landlines.

Only 22% cells!

 

[Zukkoyaki]

We've gotten two polls of Arizona today that show a tie and a lead for Clinton. One of which was landline only. Oh doctor.

 

[NeoXChaos]

Early voting will be affected in FL terribly and Mook is asking for extension. Rick Scott will most likely deny the request.

Of course he will. Can they take him to court?

 

[thebloo]

If Ohio is red and Arizona is blue... LeBron should move to the Suns.

 

[Holmes]

Only 22% cells!

So before the tax scandal.

Don't worry, Matty, Fox News is fair and balanced, they've got the truth about the storm.

Will it? It looks like early voting doesn't start until October 24th.

 

[whyamihere]

So last time OH did a poll in AZ, it went from Clinton +1 to TIE, so I assume Nate will adjust this similarly. That was at the end of August, which seems to be similar polling-wise to where we are now.

 

[Aaron Strife]

If Ohio is red and Arizona is blue... LeBron should move to the Suns.

We've had two polls that show Clinton up in Ohio, too.

Clinton's final map is going to be Obama 2008 but replace Indiana with Arizona.

Chris Cillizza is terrible. Just needed to get this off my chest.

The answer will be rendered tomorrow & it will likely be no. Democrats/minority voters are starting to register in higher #s than GOP/white

of course

you guys were just saying two weeks ago OH, IA and ME-2 were off the map. Now they are back on?

I think it's the deadline to register to vote, which is the 11th, not voting early.

@DRUDGE
Hurricane Center has monopoly on data. No way of verifying claims. Nassau ground observations DID NOT match statements! 165mph gusts? WHERE?

The amount of distrust of everything of conservatives is going to win then alll darwin awards

Except when it's against Hollande. Then she has a decent chance of winning the election.

I'm certain people prefer nerve gas to Hollande by a large margin.

Scott extending the registration deadline. Of course Caputo had to add a "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" by saying he told Democrats months ago to ramp up registration efforts.

Probably in reference to Mook asking for a voter registration extension because of the Hurricane

Why don't you go there and find out, Drudge? I lived in Florida during the 00s when I was going to High School, I'm sure you'll have a blast!

I'm awaiting the 5 p.m. hurricane update. C'mon turn right damn it.

If the election had been held the day before the debate I think Clinton would have won 322 EVs. I always maintained that a solid debate bump would allow her to recapture those states/Maine's 2nd.

Rush Limbaugh Thinks Hurricanes Are Part Of A Left-Wing Conspiracy

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh suggested this week that the National Hurricane Center was “playing games” with its forecasts to cause false alarms and scare people into believing in climate change.

“It’s in the interest of the left to have destructive hurricanes because then they can blame it on climate change, which they can desperately continue trying to sell,” he said on “The Rush Limbaugh Show.”

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

when the deplorables tweet about "white genocide" are they talking about when Matt Drudge encourages them to stay home during a hurricane?

[Cyanity]

You know, if a bunch of the shittier Trump supporters are gonna be stupid enough to deny the science of the massive hurricane about to hit their homes, then let them have their Darwin awards. The collective IQ of this country might go up a bit. (sorry if that offended anyone, but I just can't anynore with these idiots)

[Finale Fireworker]

When I was a kid in Massachusetts, I would get so excited for hurricanes. North East hurricanes were really just bad storms with heavy rain and winds. It was fun to just watch it roaring outside the window. It was fun to drive around when the sun broke and look at all the trees that blew over. It was fun to see the flooding. Hurricanes were so cool.

When Katrina happened and I saw the kind of damage these storms actually caused, it was really sobering. I thought about how lucky I was to live somewhere that didn't have to worry about that. My home would probably never be destroyed. I would probably never watch everything I owned be swept away. I would probably never be separated from loved ones. I would probably never be permanently affected by the effects of a hurricane or a tsunami or an earthquake.

I don't get excited when I hear about hurricanes anymore. I just get really sad. I think that's what made me really start to take climate change seriously: seeing how seriously weather can impact people.

I'm skeptical this is going to matter at all.
