Felon defends other felon
Not clinch per se but with superdelegates she'll be over 90% there.Dany said:
But he's been ginning up this distrust in his speeches. And he called for her transcripts again just yesterday. If this is his strategy as you suggest then why isn't he toning down the attacks?
Oh, that's right. Last article I read was he'd consider "toning down" the attacks depending on how the next primary went.
I truly, honestly cannot wait for this to be over.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I updated the margin requirements for Sanders assuming benchmark politics is close.

No, I knew they'd eventually vote for Hillary, but it's comforting to have a little evidence.
I think you messed that up, you didn't put MD in right and it completely blows up the rest

What's Mark Penn up to these days?
I think being on the internet all the time can tweak ones ability filter the noise from the signal. I am guilty of it, reading S4P has me at times thinking we are fucked.

So I'm guessing that open letter to Nate Silver Macho linked to earlier didn't work.
It occurred to me today that no matter what happens with exit polls tomorrow, it will be treated as confirmation by the conspiracy theorists.
Unadjusted exit polls overstate Bernie's support: "See, this is exactly what we're talking about..."
Unadjusted exit polls don't overstate Bernie's support: "See, this proves we were right all along. Now that they've been caught they've stopped the fraud..."

Oh you are right.
I updated it to reflect the Benchmark prediction.
Edit:
Should be fixed now, anything not meeting the previous requirements got put into CA.
Isn't this what Bernie's been saying with the south?

Well, she did only get 1,054,083 votes in New York to Bernie's 763,469.

triple weird: that WSJ op-ed the former CEO of Politico just published
which according to josh marshall of TPM, "calls for [a] 3rd party based on Internet disruption, presidential social media usage & aggressive drone warfare"

So is that an actual quote, because if so, Hillary the BAMF knocking out Bernie.
If some opposition voters want to be coddled after defeat, maybe don't accuse the opposition of being bought and paid for liars.
You put yourselves in this position.
You often pointed out how there was nothing policy-wise that could sway you, because you were against her on principle. Don't be surprised if they don't think they can ever get your vote.

I don't think much energy or time should be spent on decrying the Bernie or Bust "movement" - it's a group of what is historically the most inactive political demographic attempting to use their political activity as leverage. It's a bluff I'm perfectly willing to call.
Same.
If they indeed have "moral redlines" and refuse to support the candidate, there's nothing to be done. If they don't, they're bluffing.
It's not worth compromising solid policy to cater to them. They have consistently been working under the assumption that any and all policy positions are two-faced lies. Why bother leaning more towards them and potentially lose GE votes from the center?
Sounds pretty democratic to me!

Mark Penn is the President and Managing Partner of The Stagwell Group, a private equity fund focused on the marketing services industry.
It's turns out that taking credit for re-electing a president with 5.2% unemployment and 2.3% GDP growth by identifying the KEY SWING DEMOGRAPHIC can only get you by in politics for so long.

The "inactive political demographic" is not the issue, IMO, because the democratic party cannot afford to potentially miss the boat on a whole generation.
The problem is the purpose of appealing to voters in the first place. Shifting left makes NO sense if it doesn't capture their votes, and they've said it won't. You either take the chance and risk losing the center, or you call their bluff and assume they will vote strategically.
Ironically, their own hardline is their worst enemy. It's a much better strategy to not even try to coddle them.

No, they'll just say Trump instead of Sanders.

Is it wrong that the thing that bothers me the most about those images is that the map didn't update the electoral votes of each state from their 1964 vaues? It's wrong, isn't it?

The notion that Bernie could recreate LBJ's 64 map is crazy.
He'd need to hire Ted Cruz's Ad team to make his commercials him to even have a chance at that.

Hillary has been up 10-12 points on Trump in seemingly every poll in the last two months, its impressively consistent for a GE poll?
