I've been polled (via landline) 4 times today. (and I wasn't home full time today)


And (LOL!), I lied all 4 times.

I'm not sure what you mean by "now".  As far as I'm aware, it's been one of the tipping point states needed forboth candidates this entire election.  It's nearly 50/50 with just a slight lead to Clinton right now.

I know why the pervert priests invited Drumpf.  For once they weren't the most despicable bastards in the room.

Booed, really? At a charity event?

You can play the Electoral Map game if you like.

The Associated Press already shows Clinton with 272 without worrying about the toss-up states.

I was watching the horrified looks of the people sitting behind him.  They were stunned at what a boor he was.

I can't wait to see the opening of Saturday Night Live.  Alec Baldwin does Drumpf better than Drumpf.   I'm sure the sketch practically wrote itself!

But it's quite an achievement to get booed at a charity event, wouldn't you say?

Never could understand why people like to divide their votes, one party for president and the opposition for the congress.  Give some one the opportunity to actually do something then hold them and their party accountable the next time.

Actually here, the right wing coalition that won the election was superceeded by a makeshift alliance by 3 left wing parties. They didn't have 50+1 reps on the parliament so the left wing kinda united to make a more viable gvt. Altough they now are forced to negotiate more. What is ghe point of forming government if all legislation becomes turkey shoot by the parliament. It was a recent odd episode on Portuguese politics. Meh, not as reality-show-ish as the US. They are probably crooks.

As one long time congressman said, "all politics is local."  Incumbency is a tremendous advantage.  Everyone is mad at congress yet incumbents win 95% of their races.  Go figure.
