    Fantastic data gathering, but i disagree with your optimism.

    440K new voters with only a third being young doesn't fill me with hope. I'd love to be wrong with this election proving that get out the vote really matters, but I don't think that's the most likely way this thing ends.

    You have to consider where that vote is coming from, and over half of it is in Democratic strong holds (I've been highlighting Atlanta, but there are others in the state.  At any rate, 40k worth of people in Dekalb County, that went 90% Democratic didn't just show up to voter Trump.  Some of them will, but the split should be somewhere near representative, think worst case 80-20.  Well that's a big difference, and net positive of easily 30k.  In a state decided by 11k last time, that's the story.

    I kinda like the Skycast broadcast. No announcers and you get the same view the QB has as the play develops.

    I went to watch that and clicked on the Spanish one, honestly, way better than Tessatore, and my Spanish is pretty awful.

    If Trump wins he's found a new way to do it by somehow getting the least enthusiastic base I can ever remember in any election in my adult life to get out there and carry him to a win.  

    I don't think that's it, at least not entirely.  What you have is the Maga people that are big, loud and stupid, and they've gotten the media's attention.  As a result, and because of 2016 and polling misses, these folks are grossly skewing the narrative.  

    Basically, what everyone, and I mean everyone seems to have forgotten is that the silent majority is what really carries the day, not the loud and brash.  That is what is under-represented in everyone's modeling.  It's fairly ironic as well, for most of my life, every time I'v heard someone mention the silent majority in the past when discussing politics its been someone making a Republican point; that isn't the reality this time around.

    It’s been how many elections now where Atlanta is spotlighted, and I still can’t read or hear Cobb county without thinking of the big boss man being introduced. 

    Well, I could do a wrestling theme to it if you want.  We could have Abdullah the Butcher land, the Dog faced Gremlin land, DDP land, etc.  

    Side note, in Ben Hill, Abdullah owns a house of ribs and Chinese food.  I'm not making that up either.

    Focus Group Question #1: The City of Atlanta and it's surround area should be called:

    1. The Atlanta MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area)

    2. Atlanta Metro

    3. Metro Atlanta

    4. Fortress Atlanta

    This.  It's the same reason DJT stock isn't trading at 0.0001 of a penny.  

    Focus group input on naming is fine, I hadn't figured out anything else to call it.  One of the issues with the other names is that it implies all of Metro is balanced in a similar way, it isn't, not even close.  Metro is so large, but it's also that you can go ten miles in one direction either way, and the political reality is night and day.  For example, I live in Cherokee County, where it's a 60/40 Republican tilt.  However, I live 3 miles from Cobb County, which goes exactly the opposite.  When I refer to fortress Atlanta, it's just the democratic strongholds of the metro area.

    I’m old. I’ve gotten where I avoid things that make me dumber (this board excepted) and try to listen to people who are smarter than me. 
    As I said, I’m old. I’d rather watch classic boxing  matches from the 70’s than UFC.  I think social media has rotted our brains. 
    My impression is that Joe Rogan (who I can’t think of as much greater than his role on that show where people ate maggots), is not someone who would make me smarter by listening to him.  Maybe unfairly, I don’t expect that most of his audience is smarter than him. 
    But, maybe I’m just old. 

    Nope, you are pretty much spot on.

    Meh, every big city newspaper in TX has endorsed D's for years and it don't make a shit.  Anyone waiting for the Washington Post to weigh in with an endorsement to make up their mind who to vote for doesn't need to be voting in the first place.

    Also, never forget that Woodward sat on Trump telling him how awful Covid was going to be so he could sell some books.  Fuck him.

    Ok I’m gonna let you in on a secret. No bro who listens to Rogan is undecided, nor will their minds be changed at this point in the race. A lightbulb isn’t going to suddenly go off in their head. Shit, I bet the majority of them aren’t even going to actually vote. She needs to spend the next 10 days getting her people out. Not chasing the mythical white bro vote

    To me, for all the people saying she should do Rogan's show it has always come back to this.  Basically, to what end?  At least to me, it's always struck as akin to saying she should go do an interview or something with Clay Travis.
