2022:

Dems have good leads in pivotal seats through mid-Oct

Mid to late Oct, spam polls start pulling the averages right for no reason. 

Before Election Day, now Oz and Masters are leading and it’s a red wave! Omg, early voting stats looks awful for Dems 

Election Day: oh, Dems turned out on Election Day. And all the polling was really wrong, it was basically what was the state of the races at the start of October

The WSJ issued a new national poll today that shows Trump ahead by 2. Any national poll with Trump ahead should be immediately thrown out. There is no way he’s coming out ahead in the popular vote.

Its amazing that people get paid to publish this bullshit.

Bad national polls? Really? +3 in TIPP and YouGov and +5 Marist 

Oh I see, Trump’s pollster (Trump +3) and HarrisX, which is always very good for Trump (Trump +1) and the Tory company in the UK must count 5x as much 

 

Silver is setting us up for 11/5….

can we get serious for a minute?

y'all can bag on chili's all you want, but there is not a chain within 7 miles of me in any direction, and the closest chili's is 9+ miles away. i know in texas, 9 miles takes 9 minutes, but here that's like an hour. some nights, i would kill half of you for a nice chicken ranch sandwich. they basically invented the buffalo chicken sandwich as far as i'm concerned, and have gotten no real props for that.

sorry to get all real with you, but there are more serious issues in the world than the presidential election.

I was 62 miles from the Spokane airport....Ritzville, which is by no means a wealthy burg.

The most expensive single sandwich that I can price out at a San Diego McDonald's a block from the ocean is a double quarter pounder with bacon for $9.49. The filet of fish is $5.39. $5.99 for a crispy chicken. Still ridiculously expensive for McDonald's quality food, but the location you went to must have been engaging in some pretty serious price gouging to get to $10 for a fish sandwich and $13 for chicken.

No shit....I went to a Mcdonald's in eastern Washington to buy my dog a 1/4 pound patty to reward him for his great day in the field and  was flppred by the prices...filet of fish was more than $10, and a crispy chicken sandwich was more than $13. His patty was $4.75.

You could have given him his own vomit, and he would have been just as pleased.

Dumb question:

We get exit polls on Election Day. Are the returns you guys are posting the same thing? If not, why aren’t there exit polls now?

I think most of the conversation has been on the actual polls - you know, the important one that determines who is elected.  

Exit polling used to be used as a way to estimate who was going to win before the polls closed and votes were counted.  But, it was determined that could actually depress voting for the team that was perceived as losing by a significant margin.  So, folks don't do that anymore.  Now they are used to estimate stuff that doesn't show up in government polls - like demographic splits, when someone made up their mind, what issues were important to them, etc..  It's probably better in some ways than the pre-election polling because you know these people voted and it likely has a better answer rate.  Although, since it's not done at every polling station, so there may be some bias there.

LOL.  I was wondering if Horn75 was our famous "will suck dick for drugs" poster.  So hard to keep up with the changing names.   There really should be a disclaimer on each of his posts under his various names that reads "*** WARNING-   This poster is a drug addicted sex worker" .  NTTIAW with sucking dick, if that's your thing, but being a drug addicted sex worker makes his various posts and opinions make a lot more sense.

Chili's was always my go-to if I was on a business trip that lasted more than 3 nights.  First three nights I would seek out interesting, local restaurants.  By the fourth night, I was tired and just wanted to go to some place that was easy.

Recently-retired, 18-term Republican house member Fred Upton from Michigan slams Dotard and endorses Kamala.

https://www.mediaite.com/election-2024/hes-just-totally-unhinged-trump-scorched-by-18-term-gop-congressman-from-michigan-who-announces-hes-endorsing-harris/

Quote

Former Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), who served 18 terms in Congress before retiring last year, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris — issuing a scathing condemnation of his own party’s nominee, former President Donald Trump.

Upton told The Detroit News that he was voting for Harris — his first time supporting a Democrat for president, although he has split his ticket on other down-ballot races in the past — because Trump had “not changed his colors” and continued pushing his baseless claims about fraud in the 2020 election.

“Watching Trump day after day, he’s ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues,” said Upton.

“Instead, he’s still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He’s just totally unhinged,” he added. “We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am.”

Upton told The Detroit News that he had spoken with Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, on Wednesday. The two served together in the House for twelve years.

“They want to get things done, and the only way to get that to happen is to work on a bipartisan basis. I’m convinced that Harris has more ability to do that than Trump,” said Upton about a Harris-Walz administration, praising their support for the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump derailed and commitment to work across the aisle on Ukraine, inflation, and other issues.

“I’m convinced that those of us who are willing to stand up now will be at the table as we try to chart a path to resolve these issues. They are too important to ignore,” he said. “At some point, the country has to come ahead of party, and that’s what this is all about.”

Upton was one of the Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, drawing his ire — and then gloating after Upton announced his retirement. He has also been an outspoken critic of Republicans who have refused to accept the 2020 election results or tried to downplay the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

I took away from the story the Epstein angle.  I wonder if there is going to be a push to really elevate that aspect of his groping and creepy history.  

Everybody knows. (Leonard Cohen)

If he has his hand fully up Ivanka's dress as he's trying to shove his tongue in her mouth, there might be a kerfuffle. Or a female who actually looks like a minor, I suppose. If the female is 15 buy looks 19, nobody dedicated to this POS will care. Fake news.

We've seen it all with this guy. It's right in front of all of us. He would have to have a moment like Lonesome Rhodes in A Face in the Crowd (essential viewing with Network) where he's caught on mic talking about how he controls the yokels and idiots who do whatever he says.

Trump has come close with his arrogant yet accurate remarks of how hard it would be for him to lose followers. Their hate and fear keep them true to their dealer.

watery tomato juice with no spice.  the chips are fine, but the bagged sea salt HEB version is superior.

The burger (and the chicken buffalo ranch i guess) is/are the only constant that has withstood the test of time.  All other previously decent things about Chili's have fallen victim to the enshittification principle.
