But but... That's the failing New York Times it's not the bastion of truth and liberty that Breitbart is.
I think I will wait for a real source like Twitter or Stormfront before I give any weight to these unsubstantiated rumors of crooked Hillary.

PoliGAF so quick to impugn Comey. He weighed several options with serious consequences and he went with his best judgment. I agree with him that it would look very bad on the bureau if there was a leak (and according to NYT, he was certain there would be) and decided that he should send the letter to congress. After all, Clinton is not at risk of losing the election.
Speaking of Citizen Kane, there is nothing more poetic and writ in irony than Trump talking about how Citizen Kane is his favorite movie. It's honestly the video I keep coming back to the most this election. It just seems so apt for everything that's happened and for everything that's coming and I seriously wonder how self-aware he is as a person.
I'm genuinely fascinated by it.

If Trump just exclusively tried to campaign in NM, NY, CA, I would totally be fine with that.

Even if it had leaked, the FBI could then make a statement to the public about an ongoing investigation and not commenting until it's complete. However, since Comey idiotically held a press conference months ago to insert his face into this witch hunt, which has only grown savager by the day from Trumpkins, he feels he needs to cover his own ass. So both times he should have shut the fuck up. When he has enough to recommend charges, then he should speak.

I think a lot of us here understand the bind he was in(which he put himself in) but this close to the election he should have at least looked at the new evidence first to see if a comment was even warranted. Or at the very least be incredibly specific about what you actually had. Which he couldn't be since he hasn't seen it.
His vagueness is the issue.

My dad voted for Clinton even though he bought into the benghazi email stuff because he thinks trump is insane. Thats a lot better than not voting or voting third party, glad he did
Whoa, he's actually sort of sane and perceptive here

Come correct, son. I am personally responsible for at least a half-million votes all by myself. You know how many obituaries I had to read and the calloused fingers I have from putting that info into Excel?
Pfft. You probably haven't even voted a dozen times, I bet. We got this shit

Those numbers are quite good for us, if you're worried. Also, going out on a Saturday night is stupid. But my idiot fiance wants to and I love his stupid face.
Seems to work with Schale's new post. Not sure if good or not? GOP up .6% overall but I thought they were up by a lot more in 2012. Unless I'm just mistaken.

You need the alcohol stored up for tomorrows Browns game, me on the other hand will be fine. My Jags are dead, our season is over and we will be losing our shit coaches!
You sound like an old man
I think this is good for us. GOP isn't up by much. Just gotta get Dems out to vote. If we can stay close to the GOP in early voting I think we take the state on election day.
Dont let it worry you. You are wrong.

Yep, that's how I see things. At least until McMuffin comes from behind the ring and hits The Donald and Sulfur Clinton with a folded up metal chair thus winning the state....thats how elections work right?
Early voting is tricky to examine for many reasons.

If you don't like Trump, this will not change your mind to vote for him. I just don't see it happening. I see people staying home rather than voting for him.

Yeah, and I'd be more sympathetic if we didn't end up with leaks with more info than Comey's letter did, so he clearly had more to give. He was vague by choice.

Hillary's campaign really is pushing back hard against this. I guess Swiftboat has been forever burned into the memories of Democrats.

Early votes cast in Guilford County, NC through today. See if you can spot where polling was expanded to Dem areas.

I've been intentionally limiting my reading to a few sites so I don't go crazy in this last stretch, so guilty as charged, but some like the above just need context to tell the story.

The most important decision to make on Nov. 8th is regarding charter schools.
What about Question 420?

With how split the vote is looking to be in Utah, I was curious what was the smallest percentage a candidate received in a state they won since the two major parties formed. The 1912 and 1992 elections I figured were most likely to have states with low plurality victories as both had strong third party candidates.
In 1992, Bill Clinton won Nevada with 37.36% of the vote and H.W. Bush won Arizona with 38.45%. The smallest percentages in 1912 were Wilson winning Idaho with 32.08%, Teddy winning Washington with 35.22% and Taft winning Utah with 37.46%.
I checked some other elections with fairly well-represented third parties: in 1968 Nixon won Tennesse with 37.85% and Wallace took Arkansas with 38.65%. The 1860 election is tricky since the Democrats split into two parties with regional candidates leaving many off ballots. Lincoln won California with 32.3% and Stephen Douglas took his only victory in Missouri with 35.5%. So it seems Wilson's Idaho win was the smallest.
Prior to the two-party rivalry, Lewis Cass won Wisconsin with 38.3% of the vote in 1848. When no one won enough electoral votes to become president in 1824 John Q. Adams won Illinois with 32.46% (but only got one of the three electoral votes) and Henry Clay took Ohio with 38.49%.
As far as I can tell Wilson's 1912 win in Idaho is the smallest percentage, being one of the few times a candidate won a state with less than a third of the vote. If Trump wins he'll likely do so by more than that but <40%.

This has been an amazing weekend. I've been drinking micro brews, wine and eating oysters on the half shell in Avila Beach while the Internet explodes from concern trolling.

Fuck those stoners!
Sounds like there is a good chance it passes. We are still weird towards drugs/alcohol, but if you told me pot was illegal around these parts I would act surprised.
It's not that surprising. It took MA how long to allow alcohol sales on Sunday?
Until the Patriots were relevant.
