polling showed no actual impact on those that intended to vote though.

I'm not really worried about this one. you were voting early, your mind was made up a long time ago.

Well, we've got at least that.

I hope this shit is in the news cycle nonstop until Tuesday

of course it won't be

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Christ, they really did time this out just to affect early voting.

What a shitshow. Obama needs to do one last thing for HRC after the election and clean the FBI out.
HRC can do that on her own.
 
I honestly believe that this Comey bullshit will lose us the senate.

Mission accomplished bros

What a fucking joke.

It won't.

Duckworth and Cortez Masto are locks, Hassan is pulling away a bit, and ground game likely gets Feingold and Ross over the top at the very least.

Any outside chance we had at the House was probably destroyed, though.

$50/hour, but no kissing on the lips and colors must be pre-separated
I hear Trump yelling over the active CNN commentators. I assume he'll go back to hating Comey in record time.

I was wondering if something went wrong that made it impossible for the senate to be out of dem's hands but...they confirmed it was fucking nothing?

I don't get it.

The cities, the coastal plain, the mountain areas-everyone gets along with one another because politeness is in the DNA of the state but the divisions in the state are nothing short of dramatic. The only thing even remotely close that I've seen is the difference between commie King County and Eastern WA during that Rossi-Gregorie recount back in 04, but we here in NC jam that every two years

The urban/rural divide here is insane. You got the liberal hot-spots like Charlotte, Greensboro, Asheville, Durham, etc. Then everything else is just total backwoods.

senate is ours, I'm not worried about that.

Here's my feelings on the FBI stuff. I don't think it actually moved the needle at all. There's some movement in polls re: partisans being less likely to respond when headlines are bad, but it doesn't impact actual turnout.

If we were actually going to win the house, that fight was going to be won by unlikely voters showing up to vote, and polls weren't capturing those anyway. UNLIKELY voters don't pay attention to political headlines like that at all- it takes a lot to get through to them, but when it does that's tough to reverse.

Can't blame the entire organization for following orders. This shit show is on the leadership.

Comey may just fucking step down, either way he's done.

Ok, the Comey thing:

1) This will help Hillary from here until Tuesday, duh. It will seem now obvious to the media and voters that this was a useless distraction.

2) What a piece of work Comey.
 
they have to acid wash his stump speech, he'll be on in a bit right

The urban/rural divide here is insane. You got the liberal hot-spots like Charlotte, Greensboro, Asheville, Durham, etc. Then everything else is just total backwoods.

It's crazy. You can go from shining cities and new suburbs with construction and traffic everywhere to post-industrial rural hellscape in a half hour's drive.
 
Ugh this FBI thing was so frustrating. I really hope this is all over on Tuesday but I still don't know which way it's going to go, but at least this ends it on a more positive yet frustrating note.

nate silver will probably make nevada red b/c of this innoncence declaration

I just want to highlight, it's not a declaration of innocence. The motherfucker was vague till the end "same as July". That doesn't sound as good as innocent.

Anyway, we're good. It'll move 2 people in Ohio and she'll win that by 1.

Watching CNN and the running theme now is "How does Hillary get this news out there? Can they get this information out there as quickly as possible somehow?"


...I don't know, maybe through a 24/7 news channel reporting it all day like how the initial nothing letter was reported?

Surely removing Comey would just make any cultural issues in the FBI worst.

Lol, you know, considering Comey and friends were actively TRYING to impede and convict Hillary, and they couldn't get ANYTHING, that really shows how much nothing was in those emails.

Itd be a little weird to me if the NFL and ESPN ads are regional. I've seen the shitty Trump ad a bunch of times now and I live in Washington.

Given how much scrutiny Clinton is under, she must be one of the cleanest candidates ever. Which is why it is so incredibly ironic that half our population thinks she is corrupt.
