Hmm...If such negotiations happen, then we have a tinpot leader who would get away like any other, and we would truly become a Banana Republic...

Okay, I'm going to bed. Watch FLORIDA on Election Day. Don't even think about Pennsylvania. It's all about FLORIDA. Amen, my brothers and sisters. I am hopeful that FL and AZ would flip tomorrow and would make an easy path for Uncle Joe so that the nation doesn't have to worry about Orange's shenan...

I like it, CV. I agree with you on the Senate, it is going to be a lot tougher to gain the majority. I'm watching closely what's going on in FL. The Dems had a big day today in early voting. On a different note, IMO, the chances of AZ going to Biden are as much as PA going to Orange...But I am stic...

I will post my numbers a little later. I hope my assumptions and analysis is right, but hasn't NC already flipped to Biden?

Jim, do you have a Biden/Harris sign in your yard? I have an extra one you can have. Regarding the ground game for Joe, Local dems have picked up the fight and are doing the leg work required. They are energized to elect their local candidates and are also bringing the message from the top of the t...

CV: When I hear the Democratic vote is lagging in Miami/Dade compared to even the losing effort of four years ago, and when I hear it is the Latin make vote that is keeping Texas from going blue, my head wants to explode. I am not sure if you can say that democratic vote is lagging Miami/Dade one w...

I had Joe in front before and I still have him in front as of now...I was having heartburn for dems neglecting ground game then, and I still have the heartburn about it now... Given orange’s propensity to break the law, I have always thought that Orange would do everything to hold onto power, includ...

That’s a steep price... one can get a super second of a good vintage...

Ha... there was someone who scoffed when I said few months back that dems are not paying attention to boots on the ground and running a good ground game for voter turnout... he.. hee... heee....

Had 05 Cantenac Brown...Nice balanced wine, coming out of shell. Flowers, cherries, some incense and slight oak in the background with plenty of fruit. Would give it another blanquito easily... Also had 05 G. Mascarello Santo Stefano Di Perno Barolo...Showed greatly with roses, tar, and violets, int...

Interesting piece on AZ here. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/oct/26/maricopa-county-phoenix-donald-trump-2020 I've thought all along that Biden will win the state. Kyrsten Sinema won Maricopa by four points in 2018. Does anyone think the Dem vote will be down on that? FWIW I don't think B...

Man, we can't be happy with today's polls. We have a poll that has Orange winning PA. And AZ has collapsed. What the hell happened to Kelly out there? That’s why I don’t have faith in potential flipping states such as AZ or IA... Like I said before, I am not happy with ground game and voter turnout...

It's really is all coming down to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.... where it all began. Is this where it will all end? That’s what I have been saying in the last few months with some additional take... As of today, I am still holding on to my theory that PA, WI and MI are keys to kingdom in that...

We're gonna have to have some sort of rule here... I suggest: Submit your final electoral vote map count by 7pm eastern US time on Monday, Nov 2, the evening before Election Day. That'll give us 24 hours or so to absorb it before the results start to come in. Feel free to attach a picture of your 2...

I personally think Biden’s fracking response is not that big of deal... Also, I think AZ is more in play than NC or FL. The horse has left the barn, and people have made up their minds. Now, it’s all about turnout, baby...I am more interested in the voter turnout and participation, especially in PA,...

. . . . when Trump protests mightily about the other side doing something unethical or illegal, that’s the very thing he’s up to. . . ..

This whole talk by Trump of prosecuting Biden, Obama et al is all sham, and he wants dems to make a hue and cry and call it political persecution. When he is out of office, if he gets into trouble with law (which seems like, related to his business if not political corruption), it seems like he want...

Indeed Jim. The notion of universe teaming with billions of galaxies, and each galaxy teaming with billions of stars is astounding to say the least.

I am not sure college towns represent true nature of overall state makeup. They more often lean democratic with young populations, but participation in election is a different thing. I think Brazos county as a whole is reliably republican, and for that matter Texas, IMO is still solid red. I suspect...

Ha, I remember some big lineman, long forgotten, years ago, maybe it was Carl Eller, he once said that he used to not eat on game day before a game, not breakfast, not lunch, because he wanted to be in a nasty mood by game time.

As far as never trumpers, I think it’s a charade, in the sense that most of them will come home to vote for him anyway.

Had 16 de Pez yesterday night and I was impressed if not blown away. Love these 16s. Not overly alcoholic and didn’t show signs of closing down.

I am somewhere between Racer and BD in terms of ‘feeling it’. I am optimistic that uncle joe will reach the finish line. Like I said earlier many times — nothing else matters more than the turnout.

I wear a mask, CV, socially distance, isolate at home, the whole nine yards. The mask has nothing to do with my question.

Those are pretty weak arguments, CV. Other than the occasional anecdotes, we don't hear much about the "long term affects" of covid. The VAST majority of victims seem to recover completely. I think it's fair to say the vast majority of American voters are concerned about mortality rates, ...

There are no sacred cows in this cable news network business. But I think we can’t compare covid to flu...
