Obama making early voting a major pillar of his campaign will be one of his great legacies for the party.
The one thing all of us liberals/democrats have to worry about in a Clinton Presidency is the inevitable set of "scandals" that come out that may derail her presidency and have the country lose faith in her.
Mind you, this isn't because there will actually be scandals, although there may be because plenty of Presidents have them, but because the past is prologue, and the public has already decided that Hillary is untrustworthy and full of scandals and skeletons in her closet.
It would be pretty easy, unfortunately, for the Republicans to derail her presidency using Scandal in much the same way they tried to derail Obama's because of Kenya and Islam.

I hope Trump loses all of his money.

I wonder how expensive early voting is set up. With my state's shoestring budget I don't expect it to happen, no matter who holds power.

I love that he's too dumb to deny grabbing her.
I'm voting early today in Idaho and we are about as poor as it gets.
Sounds like an admission of guilt to me.

Exhibit A why Trump will never sue any of these women
I also fully expect the CNN poll to be tied. It fits the narrative they are after.

Relax. CNN/ORC is a major and reputable pollster. They just have an R lean this year.
It's a Clinton thing, Bill did the same thing to HW Bush back in the day with "Chicken Bush" for refusing to debate Bill.

This is a horrible thing to say. I was expecting it, but didn't think it would be this bad.
Yup he pretty much just admitted to it.

New Hampshire has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country. We have the third lowest state budget despite being ranked 41st in population.

First, I didn't maybe realize a Chicken George reference pre-dated Season 1 of Big Brother.
Second, I share the same birthday as Donald Duck and now I'm even more happy about it.

They don't do a lot of polls (they're failing bigly) and we're 2 weeks out.
Current early voting:
As happens so often, the issue is the definition of "racist." If you believe that racism is a binary category that makes you evil, then this discussion will be difficult for you because the GOP has been more or less intentionally offering racist policies for 50 years to great electoral success.
I think this is facile (and sometimes, though not always, a straw man). Racism is a characteristic of our society that pops up all the time in our thought processes, which needs to be guarded against. The goal is not to magically purify yourself and never think racist things, the goal is to create a mental structure that identifies racist thoughts and filters them out before they poison your thought processes.
So: supporting a racist policy means that you're supporting a racist policy. That is probably bad! You should probably think about it and whether it could be changed to be less racist. But it's certainly possible that you could support those policies and not realize that you were being racist, or even genuinely think that the benefits of the policy outweigh the racist impact. For example, I support trade agreements and immigration that raise the living standards of all Americans because I think the benefit outweighs the impact to poorer Americans and we can create targeted policies to help them directly. I don't think this makes me "neoliberal scum."
That is why I was able to get along reasonably well with Republicans pre-Trump. Were they racist? Yeah, sure. But it's a learning process.
Trump is not the same, because his campaign is explicitly, overtly racist. Supporting a policy which is founded only on racism, and a campaign built around white nationalism, does make you a pretty severe racist in my view, regardless of whether you think you will get lower taxes out of it. There is no excuse for supporting Trump.

I feel really sorry for NH. Y'all have to deal with all those Freestate Project wackos. At least in Florida, we have a lot of large cities to escape to, and nice beaches

Current early voting:
Why are more republicans early voting in PA then democrats and why are the dems barely doing better then the republicans in MI in terms of early voting?

Shouldn't we see if this is like absentee or in person and we need comparisons to last time. Otherwise PA FUCK!!!!!

Well, in Colorado it will almost all be absentee. All registered voters are automatically sent a mail in ballot. There are a few in-person places, but mostly people buy the stamp to mail it in.

2016 is Obama's Festivus and he's currently observing the Airing of Grievances.
Wow, I'd never seen this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uY7gLZDmn4
It's Hillary's "I'm running for President" ad. 19 months later and only 14 days left.

PA doesn't have early voting and you need an excuse to file an absentee ballot, which is why Trump is pushing voter supression tactics so hard there since they can actually make a difference.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
He has the worst attorneys, and the worst bench of surrogates.
I mean not really. He really doesn't have much in the way of surrogates who can stump for him.
He needs Curt Schilling to lead off his rallies. Get those dozens of people hyped.

Kamala is by far the favorite of the party. She's a huge rising star.
Nature boy is pushing misleading information. He is biased and probably a loser big league.

I've been canvassing in NH. And it's actually not that bad.
The only annoying thing is that there are a lot of Bernie fans. Most have come around and support Clinton, but I've seen a decent amount that still haven't recovered from the primaries.
I think the most pleasant surprise would be how many registered republicans are saying they will vote for Van Ostern and Hillary.

I'm curious about that one too. Not sure why he'd get involved in a blue on blue fight unless the other candidate was really bad.
Well she did dab during a debate

The other candidate is really bad. Also Kamala won the primary quite decisively. Kamala is like potential presidential candidate-level rising star. Someone to watch for in 2024.
This "Right Side Broadcasting" youtube channel really knows how to punish a fella's ears with horrible music while waiting for Trump to take the stage.

I still watch the ad Hillary made with Obama speaking at the Black Caucus Foundation. It's really good.
They're trying to warn you! Silly librul.
I have the "Progress is on the ballot" one as mp3 and I listen to it once a day. It's good for motivation.

No biased, just fighting the totally #rigged media in bed with sulfur smelling Crooked Hillary! You'll see on November 28, believe me!
Random question:
Where are European countries on gay marriage these days? Beyond whether they allow it or not, which ones are more anti-gay marriage than others etc. I was reading the death penalty thread and was thinking about how sad it is we are still a capital punishment country (I know states differ on this).

Good Nate's model has Hillary down to a 92% chance.

More a case of taking no chances. Kamala Harris is the best and has a real future.
