What's wrong with it?  Please explain.

seems to me there are two possible explanations. if something says, say biden 51 trump 44, and the final result is biden 51 trump 49, then either (1) js's theory that they nailed biden number but missed on all late deciders, or (2) they missed really bad.  a 7 point lead ended up a 2 point win.  it was happenstance that the bad miss on three groups (biden, trump, undecided) happened to align with the results of two groups (biden trump votes).  

seems to me that 2 is more likely.  i just did the thatsbait.gif because he and i have discussed polls in opposite directions multiple times, and that was going to get me discussing it again.

Well, did you consider that maybe he sprung for the Trucoat?

Tim surely knows that if you don't get that Trucoat, you get oxidation problems.  But I also bet Tim talked em into throwing in the Trucoat for $100, not the $500 that Lundgard bastard was demanding.

Travis County Democratic Party is selling merch and yard signs at 601 East 53rd Street. I think @safe sex mentioned a few weeks ago she spotted the location. Also, for those of you who are Swifties or have some in your families, they're having Swifties for Harris get-together next Thursday after work.

That merch and yard signs hyperlink seems suspect

They've (I assume it's the party itself) had stalls at the Uncommon Objects Flea Market that's on the last Sunday of the month in the past. I would hope they'll have one on the 29th.

It's a really ugly URL, I agree, but it's the direct link provided by the TCDP's official Facebook Group page. The webpage itself looks extraordinarily unprofessional but is safe.

Yes. TCDP is extraordinarily unprofessional but a danger to no one, especially statewide Republicans.

Walz debate prep underway with Pete Buttigieg as Vance stand-in

He'll face off with Sen. JD Vance on Oct. 1 in New York City.

On the topic of debates, I posted videos of both VP candidates in debate mode

Vance:

Spoiler

Walz:

I think Buttigieg is one of the best if not THE best stand-in for Vance.

Fucking.  Seriously.

Want to know how fantastic and professional this outfit is?  Scroll the bottom.  Where there's a box telling you "BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE AUSTIN FOR HILLARY TEAM."  FFS, people.

I know eleventy million Dems in this town.  Surely there's fucking ONE that they could call and say "hey, could you design a website that looks like it was made after 2003, and, you know, maybe get all the language and shit correct?"

But, then, I've met the last couple of chairs of the TCDP.  To say that I do not think well of the past one is....an understatement.  To say that the current one has not impressed is....an understatement.

Calling my shot = she gets 325. All the swing states + Iowa.

The trends are clear and the GOP is self destructing. The Walz effect puts her over the top in Iowa.

I want to think FL could flip but Trump just seems like the perfect FloridaMan

We sure the House delegations from 26 states would go Trump's way?

Maine’s delegation is 2-0 D currently. It’s more what happens if a delegation is tied 7-7. So they just abstain?

It’s not going to the House. Everyone had these same fantasies in 16/20 too. It didn’t happen. 

[Goofyboy 3296]

Remember - Biden is still in office and has immunity. There’s nothing stopping him or the democrats from just as much fuckery in response to anything the Republicans / Trump pull. Prior to him stepping down, I wouldn’t think the Democrats had the back bone to actually fight. Now, maybe they do.
