However, I'm not sure the Russian connection
has gained a lot of traction except among diehard
liberals who believe in coincidence theory as some
of us do, including me (as the late great Gore Vidal
put it.)

Most other polls show little, if any "Comey effect" so I suspect it's just a reversion to the norm. We're probably at a 4 point race right now. I'd rather it were higher, but that's not a terrible place overall.

people were freaking out when they heard "HOLY SHIT, FBI RELAUNCHES CLINTON EMAIL INVESTIGATION! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" then later on we discover "oh, it's emails on pedo weiner's computer that has weren't to or from hillary... and the fbi didn't want to disclose pro-trump hacking was taking place by the russians". i'm hopeful that's how most sane people are now seeing it, anyway.

still pretty terrifying that there are some persuadable people who would switch from hillary to the cheeto nazi based on cryptic load of horseshit from an agency of rogues with a clear anti-hillary and anti-democrat agenda.

FBI failed. Polls moving to Hillary like they did Barack in 2012's final days. I'll beat the networks and project 45 as HRC right now and feel extremely confident in that. 4 to 5 point victory at worst. John Harwood tweeted the same yesterday.

Thank God and praise be heaped upon Him for stopping the rise of the American Reich. Words cannot express how much I lived in fear of Donald Duck.

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#00009d] Thanks to Comey last week was a disaster, but this week seems to be going much better.

HRC is still in the spotlight, but it has mainly been about her rallying back. Yesterday CNN even covered her attacking the umpa loompa and Obama giving a speech supporting her and encouraging his supporters to vote for her.

Almost nothing on Dump except him talking to himself trying to remember not to say anything dumb... an impossible feat.

I would say this week is shaping up nicely and expect a pop in the polls for our future madaam president.[/font]

However, flipping through the channels this morning that's not the message the MSM is pushing.

"Polls tightening!" , "Trump could win!" seems to be their universal talking point and I'm so sick of them all.

Finally flipped it over to FST and Amy Goodman where it will remain from now on.

That is why Trump does things like telling black voters to vote Trump because what do you have to lose. It demoralizes black voters and sure enough early voting amongst black voters is down substantially from 2012. That kind of subliminal messaging is highly effective.

Nov 2016

1) no
2) i figure the fbi will release a statement at some point in the next few days claiming to have found "several concerning emails" that they have "flagged" from pedo weiner's computer that they're "not sure what they mean" and "may or may not be classified". probably the "worst" of the wikileaks horseshit as well. the dark actors at work both foreign and domestic are in desperation mode and they are going to throw all the shit they can dream up in the final days to throw this election to trump. it's sickening. we all need to be mindful of this and remind those around us to be mindful of it as well. we cannot give in to their suppression/depression tactics, there are desperate people that want this to become a fascist nation at all costs and are going to fight extremely dirty to the bitter end to achieve their hate-filled desires, that is why it is so important that we must continue to keep an eye on what they're attempting to do while also remaining positive and working to GOTV.

Nov 2016

The FBI has already searched the house (Inbox) by going in the front door. Now they found the house has a back door so they are searching the same house again (Inbox). This is no different than you using your laptop and reading your email and then using your cell to read your email. It is the same Inbox both times. The FBI has mischaracterized what they have. They talk about eliminating duplicate email. There is no duplicate email here. There is a single Inbox accessed from two different devices. They have nothing and they know it - or at least they should. This is all nothing but a great big hoax. Comey has no shame.

If we embrace your logic we might as well trash all polls that are within the margin of error.
