Linda McMahon losing would be so sweet.

There's a rumor Trump found divorce papers between Obama and his wife in 2000 that they didn't go through with.

Cedric Daniels is a character from The Wire, and I can't really remember his wife subplot but I think they had an unhappy marriage and stayed together because of politics.

Ah I see, that's the bombshell? Pfft I think this came out a long time ago first of all and 2nd I think most people can tell that the obamas are very much in love. I always felt watching the obamas that they were very much into keeping their romance alive which is weird for a couple as old as them so I always thought that they probably had a rocky relationship earlier. This is really not news lol.

 

[BertramCooper]

These divorce papers will undoubtedly unleash a public scandal to rival any the 16th century has ever seen.

 

[Clevinger]

I'm not sure if you're joking as I don't know what I'm looking at in that poll.

Obama has a three point lead, same as their last weekly poll

One worrying thing is that Josh Mandel is gaining on Sherrod Brown fast. Brown had a huge lead, but it's been falling throughout this election and now he's only leading by one in that new poll.

* Independents, where Mandel last week led by 3 points and today leads by 13 points, a 10-point right turn.
* Union households, where last week Brown was up 14 points and today he is up 5 points, a 9-point right turn.
* Middle-income voters, where Brown had led by 16 points, and today is tied, a 16-point right turn.
* Men, where last week Mandel was at 42% and today he is at 47%.

Karl Rove must be spending a shitload in superPAC ads in that race

Welcome to the failure that is the American media.

He's not alone though. It would appear that most voters ignore Romney's ridiculous amount of flip-flops.

It is pretty amazing how myopic both the media and voters seem to be to it.

There won't be any divorce papers though to show.

So how will trump prove it?

It's Trump, when has proof stopped the Trump Show?

BTW, Majority PAC is going up in PA to support Casey.

Brown is going to trounce Mandel.

No way in hell that little putz gets elected.

The ads have ramped up, no doubt, but Mandel has a pretty shitty reputation for not doing his job as treasurer and appointing his unqualified buddies to high-paid government positions.

oh, thank god. I didn't know the average was that good.

 

[ErasureAcer]

If Mandel gets elected I will start a SuperPAC for a GAFfer to run for Senate. Any of us have a better temperment than that fool.

 

[Link]

I'd ask why anyone still gives Trump a platform, but it's Fox News, so yeah.

I expect this to be their lead story all day long.

 

[BertramCooper]

oh, thank god. I didn't know the average was that good.

The Brown/Mandel race is one of the biggest reasons I'm confident Obama is going to take Ohio.

I just don't see Brown winning by more than 5% (which he almost certainly will) and Obama losing, especially when Brown is far more liberal than the president. (Or at least the president's policies while in office.)

 

[Thaedolus]

No president has ever won office without winning Tuscarawas County. However you pronounce that.

No president had ever been anything but a white man before 2008.

 

[Trurl]

Everybody knows that Warren G. Harding was a black man.

 

[3rdman]

No president had ever been anything but a white man before 2008.

No President has ever had "Sly and the Family Stone" in his tracklist before 2008.

Good Morning America leading with the Mourdock thing.

To add to the Ohio story: I'm convinced Obama's lead is under reported for another reason:

Obama holds a larger lead in polls that survey cell phones.

(Posted over the weekend, but bears reiterating.)

Not too far:

 

[Trurl]

How can any self-respecting poll avoid cell phones in this day and age? I don't know anyone under 35 who has a landline.

Come to think of it, everyone I know who has a landline phone either has held onto it for work related reasons, or is over 70.

 

[gutter_trash]

Not too far:

old people

 

[tranciful]

So how will trump prove it?

He's got people all over the world looking into it. You wouldn't believe what they've found.

Federal Law bans calling of cell phones by an automated pollster. Otherwise I am sure PPP would include those too.

I'm 25 and I have a landline with no work purposes.

I'm under 35 and have a landline. There are few of us, though.

Trump is releasing his story at noon. I'm on top of this important story guys. (maybe the most important story of our lifetime)

He says it's not about the divorce.

Trump: All predictions re: my 12 o'clock release are totally incorrect. Stay tuned!

 

[Incognito]

really hoping that Ras poll of ohio isn't the canary in the coal mine. wouldn't be surprised to see Gravis and ARG with similar results. obama better bank a huge early vote advantage or the party could be over very early on nov 6th.

 

[Downhome]

Does anyone here consider the entire thing with the emails about Libya as something that could become an issue for the administration? I would, at the very least, like to hear them speak on that since that has been revealed. What is the main thread talking about that? I'd like to see the discussion.

As fun as your troll posts are, I gotta say I like your serious ones more. You seem more knowledgeable about politics than a lot of us.

Unless you were just serious. In which case,

I found a transcript of Trump's thoughts:

"Hey, a new season of the Apprentice is coming up and there haven't been near enough advertisements for it. Better get my name out in the news soon to boost ratings!"

Seriously, this is going to be about as accurate as anything "Sheriff Joe" has "found."

Got 91% on that finnish poll. Although AGW is real, we don't need to lead the world on limiting our emissions when China/India don't care and gas prices are already taking care of it anyway.

LOL to the first part and to the second. They're awful this year.

In case anyone is wondering international wire transfers usually take 3-5 business days to clear. Yuck. No way prices will be this low next week.

 

[ivysaur12]

EDIT: Ugh, Poll Tracker typo.

 

[Clevinger]

don't toy with my heart like that, ivy

What's the real number?

Yeah, I'm kinda upset about that. I thought I would be able to use credit/debit to instantly fund my account, but having to wait up to 4 business days is sure to kill the deal once obama goes back up. Last night it was 54.8 % too. Damn!

In good Senate news, Murphy pulling ahead of McMahon

Positivity suits you better.

 

[Downhome]

Just in theory, if something like that was proved true for any president, what steps would be taken after the facts were revealed? Would it just be instant resignation or would a trial take place or what? Anyone actually know for sure?

 

[codhand]

Good Morning America leading with the Mourdock thing.

lol I heard that on my local NPR this morning and was going to come in here to break the good news to you all that Mourdock shot himself in the foot last night (I didn't watch the debate, was catching up on Amazing Race.)

Thank goodness, too, because seeing the ads that are being run during Jeopardy! or other shows I watch, it looked like they would be pretty effective against Donnelly. But when Mitt distances himself from what you're saying, just before he's about to put out an ad supporting you, you done fucked up now.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Positivity suits you better.

Believe me, I hate being pessimistic. But can't help it sometimes either

 

[The Librarian]

Edit: polls.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I'm hitting refresh and nothing's happening.

 

[thefro]

Ras unchanged 50-46 but they say 1st night post-debate was Romney with a 2 point lead instead of 4.

 

[el retorno]

I had a dream last night the trumps big thing today was to reveal that he was a troll and a democratic plant. I think speculawyer said something to that effect last night. You guys are invading my dreams...

No polls or bad news in them yet though.

 

[markatisu]

Ras unchanged 50-46 but they say 1st night post-debate was Romney with a 2 point lead instead of 4.

So Ras begins their movement to be in line with everyone but Gallop

So there is very real possibility of Bachmann being unseated

Annandale, Minnesota (CNN) -- Jim Graves strolled down Main Street in his pressed shirt with French cuffs and skinny jeans, a dapper enigma in a land of flannels and Wranglers. He stuck out his hand to introduce himself to a ruffian in a wheelchair scooter.

The two talked politics before the stranger confessed he's an anarchist who believes Americans should be allowed to kill three people a day. "That would take care of the idiots REALLLLLL fast," the man said with a chuckle.

Not the typical conversation for a millionaire hotel magnate, who's more prone to discuss bed-sheet thread count than shooting folks. But when people know you're running for Congress, apparently no topic is off limits. A bit exasperated, Graves wished the man well and quickly departed.

Minnesota, why you so cray?
