I know it's unlikely that NV will actually be the state that wins it for Clinton, but the Harry Reid machine has been pretty damn impressive ever since 2008.

Right wing media making far too much of a big deal over Jay Z dropping a few F bombs and N Words.

Looks like Trump's gains have definitely stalled at least the last day or two, which really should do it barring something quite unusual. Interestingly that isn't the case in the Senate where it's a virtual coin-flip right now; most likely scenario is a 50-50 split with Kaine breaking the tie as VP.

This. If people actually sat back and thought it through, they'd realize how ridiculous these claims are, which is backed up by the fact that there's been no cases of widespread voter fraud. Quote:

Secret service removes Trump from a rally in Reno. Suspect tackled to the ground by SWAT and secret service. Unconfirmed reports that he had a gun.

Another Hillary sponsored attack. At least I assume that is how the media will spin it... they would be quick to assume that if the same thing happened with a Hillary event that it was a pro-Trump sanctioned attack so they MUST use the same logic when it is reversed...right...

Right, left, outer space, whatever ... some props for the Secret Service details of both major candidates this year. It can NOT have been an easy gig.

Sidebar here, but kinda related so I'll throw it out:
Twice in the past hour people have mentioned to me that Monday is a day with particularly high security concerns (i.e terrorist type stuff). I hadn't heard a word of that previously, though I've been in a vaccuum more than usual for several days due to a sudden bout of work. Is this info "a thing", and I'm just horribly out of the loop, or are ya'll wondering wth I'm talking about?

Even if he did have a gun he would just be exercising his 2nd amendment rights. No need to panic.

Latest Senate projection(from 538): 50.2% Dem control, 49.8% GOP. That's ... pretty close.

Thought I'd post this as well since it's gotten some discussion around here, for those interested in the projects. This is Nate Silver on why the uncertainty is so high in his model this time around:

Thought this was a good read. Basically Silver points out that Hillary likely has better odds than his formula says. Tough to gauge results with early voters being so high.

NYPD Weinergate blah blah blah stupid
I don't post this because I buy anything this article says (from Breitbart...of course), but I simply had to post it for the ridiculous UIC herein. First of all, Weinergate? Is that really a thing they're calling this now? And, oh yea, sex island.

He's been a registered Republican since 2011. That's a pretty long con to pull. Regardless, this is a dumb story. Looks like someone thought he had a weapon and yelled "Gun" (the same people who want open carry ironically). This caused the secret service and others to panic. He was rushed out and sent on his way. |

Trump's campaign cancelled a rally to be held in Green Bay today, which I thought was a bit odd given their need to turn the state to him, and then I heard the reason why...the Packers are playing at the same time as the rally. Which if they had a better ground game, they probably would not schedule one at all, or at a better day/time for them.

The final DM Register poll has Trump up 7 in Iowa, 46-39 so that looks like the best bet for a Trump flip. Dems have a 42K lead in early voting with about 40% of the vote in but that is down from the 63K lead they had in 2012.

Interesting mailer the other day from the Michigan Republican Party. The only affirmative thing it says is 'Be a Voter'. Nothing positive about Trump; in fact he is nowhere mentioned or pictured, nor is Pence. You literally couldn't tell from it who the 2016 Presidential Candidate of their party is. It has only two basic messages: go vote GOP and anti-Clinton stuff. Darndest thing I've ever seen, but perhaps a reflection of the political environment we are in.

shocking! They seem to think they have a chance in Minn according to their own polls, only have Clinton ahead by 3, which are probably as faulty as their ground game.

Nope. You either believed it was a nothingburger to begin with, or you believe that Comey either caved to political pressure (like Newt is already saying) or was bought off.

Pretty much this. The only people I'm inclined to mock a bit are those who idiotically believed that anything was going to land on HRC from this round. The (former?) Mrs. Weiner? Maybe. But Hils? That was a less than zero chance. It didn't even make much sense to expect it would.

What I don't get with this idea is where this source of untouchable power came about. Yes, the Clintons are good at networking, good at playing the political game, and from what her fans say, good at listening (and remembering). But the insidiousness? It's not like these two came from anything, especially Bill. He's a hick from Arkansas! It's not like they still have a huge power base or political machine set up there, unlike politicians who have been entrenched in a location forever (Reid? The Daley family?) I don't think they set anything up in NY. Washington sure, but it's not as if there aren't red power bases there. And they have TONS of enemies. Even within the party it wasn't enough to hold off an unknown one-term Senator. I don't get where this ability to bribe everybody comes from.

BTW, this is my old field of work (somewhat) so I can explain how it perhaps was done so quickly.
People are right that it would be impossible to review tens of thousands of emails one at a time to determine their National Security level and possible information within. They wouldn't need to for a vast majority of them. Using either a "hash" of the message or an email-id of the messages discovered on the device used by Huma Abedin (and in the possession of Anthony Dickhead, I mean, Weiner). they can compare it to emails already reviewed as part of the email server investigation. If the hash/ID already matches, they know they don't have to review it. That would DRASTICALLY reduce the amount of emails that they needed to check to go through this investigation. The company I worked for (EMC, now part of Dell) sold huge data storage boxes for this kind of thing, under that kind of principle, where if you have a amount of the same file saved across different locations (say your sales database), you just need one copy, with pointers to it from the other places, so all you have to do is track what's CHANGED, not what's the same. Then, during off hours, you merge the changes into the main file, and you're ready for the next day (that way, if you have a disk failure or what have you, you only have to rollback a small amount of changes, which are then done from recent backup) edit: If you want to read more about point in time copies, and the like, here. Fair warning, it MAY melt your brain https://www.emc.com/collateral/softw...nwldgbk-wp.pdf

It's crazy that I think just about any other Republican candidate could have beat Clinton in this election. The GOP picked the one guy who couldn't.
