  - Will Diva be persicoping live from the dressing room? -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 07:35 4
    - Diva will probably be trying to memorize her lyrics from the dressing room. - Diva Jun 29, 07:36 2
      - Not that it means anything as far as learning lyrics goes - but you should know Jealous...it was all over the radio for a minute. - Jim Jun 29, 07:44 1
        
        I don't listen to radio really. Especially when practicing music on my own for work. -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 07:47

That first episode of The Nigh Before made me suuuuper anxious. Nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 07:00 3
- Maybe you should watch Four Lions (also starring Riz Ahmed) as counter balance? -- nm - LMS Jun 29, 07:09 2
  - I watched a little of Criminal Justice as a comparison (and because I like Ben Wishaw) and it was equally stress inducing. Nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 07:12 1
    - That was a great series. Season 2 was an even better story. -- nm - LMS Jun 29, 07:15
I just unironically asked someone to 'Say hello to your mother for me.' I hope they haven't seen the Marky Mark skit. -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 06:58 1

New Quinnipac poll shows the presidential race is a dead heat. -- (link) - iSpam Jun 29, 06:21 67
- Still way early, but I was more interested in the batch of Senate polls that came out yesterday - Dano Jun 29, 07:02
- Well, there's one polling organization that needs to update its process... -- nm - David Jun 29, 07:02 12
  - Quinnipiac always seems to list somewhat Right. I haven't trusted Gallup since the 2012 Pres. election which they called for Mitt. -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 07:04 11
    - I don't trust any individual polls. Average of polls tends to be more accurate usually. - ty97 Jun 29, 07:12
    - They get a very good rating from 538. I just don't care for polls this far out and popular vote doesn't mean anything. Tell me what the numbers are in -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 29, 07:06 3
      - I'm sure you know about RCP. The map is useful, and it's fun to click the states listed under "toss-up" to see the state level polling. -- (link) - mara Jun 29, 07:46 1
        
        Speaking of maps, does anyone know when we can expect 538 to roll out theirs? - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 07:49
      - precisely right on all counts -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 07:40
    - [deleted] 3
      - There's definitely the possibility that (with how different this year has been) polls may take a hit - ty97 Jun 29, 07:13 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        heh -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 07:15
    - I also think "likely voters" is going to be harder to determine this time. -- nm - Dano Jun 29, 07:05 1
      - this -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 07:12
- Dropping the poll of polls to: Clinton +6.2. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 06:53
- Wow. How embarrassing must it be to HRC's campaign to not be destroying this guy? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 06:31 31
  - TROLL!!! -- nm - David Jun 29, 07:02 2
    - I've always thought I was more of a half-elf, but ok. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 07:04 1
      - TROLLOLOLOL! -- nm - David Jun 29, 07:34
  - Honestly, Smithers, I don't know why Harvard even bothers to show up. They barely even won. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 06:55
  - And *no one* in the Repub. party even came close! -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 06:48 2
    - Agreed. Sad state of affairs. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 07:03
    - But .... but....SHILLARY! -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 06:50
  - I sense smug glee. you should be as worried as the rest of us. But by all means continue... -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 29, 06:46 16
    - [deleted]
    - Trust me, I'm just as concerned as you for the future of our country. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 07:00 14
      - let me be clear - if you're suggesting your worried about Hillary you're mistaken. - Mel Profit Jun 29, 07:12 13
        
        I've been worried for the future of our country long before Trump even announced he was running. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 12:03
        
        [deleted] 11
        
        It is fascinating that the same people who say "all politicians lie" hold it against Hillary so much. - David Jun 29, 07:31 8
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think if she was male, she still would get it. She's just not a naturally good politician. - Will Hunting Jun 29, 07:36 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        There isn't a single politician alive who wouldn't want to be able to do what Trump's done for the last year - Will Hunting Jun 29, 07:40 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I disagree, a lot. We accept lying and pandering more from men. Period. -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 07:37
        
        I think your IM nails it - Beryllium Jun 29, 07:35 1
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 07:36
        
        That gives me an idea for a great campaign slogan: "No worse than the usual" -- nm - TorBaron Jun 29, 07:19 1
        
        Kind of like Sprint's new marketing campaign. - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 07:20
  - Exhibit A -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 06:45
  - *looks at the polling average. Laughs* -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:35
  - How embarrassing to live in this country where this guy isnt getting destroyed by anyone. -- nm - Jovian Jun 29, 06:34 4
    - Good point. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 07:00
    - That he's even the nominee is a major source of embarrassment. This joke of a candidate has gone too far. -- nm - Krusty Jun 29, 06:46
    - take heart--June 30th is Meteor Day! -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:38
    - yup -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 06:36
- LOL -- nm - MDH Jun 29, 06:27
- So, Clinton at +4? - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:26 17
  - And even taking the result at face value, a +2 for Clinton is not a "dead heat" -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:29 16
    - I think Spam means it's within the margin of error. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 06:30 15
      - right, well then he should say that. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:31 14
        
        That's implied (by dead heat) FWIW -- nm* - ty97 Jun 29, 06:47 4
        
        Eh. - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:54 3
        
        But within MOE *is* a statistical tie. -- nm - ty97 Jun 29, 06:56 2
        
        I get what your saying, it implies an exactly tied poll (which this is not) but statistically, it's a valid headline. - ty97 Jun 29, 06:57 1
        
        More precisely, it's a sexier headline. -- nm - David Jun 29, 07:24
        
        OMG pedantic znu. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:32 8
        
        Lol - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:34 7
        
        the NYT headline calls it "deadlocked," spam calls it a "dead heat" is that seriously something even worth mentioning? - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:37 6
        
        I'll take up my issues with the NYTimes directly. - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:38 5
        
        just keep in mind you put 100x more thought into criticizing spam's (accurate) paraphrase of the NYT headline than he did in posting it -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:40 4
        
        Oh, that's not true. The click calculations in headlines are exhaustive. - David Jun 29, 07:27 2
        
        Eh, I don't think spammy typed up 18 posts and then settled on "dead heat" for his post. -- nm - Jim Jun 29, 07:41 1
        
        The New York Times did. -- nm - David Jun 29, 07:42
        
        Need to keep myself occupied somehow to stay awake. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 06:42
- *waiting on PPP's SMoD poll results* -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:22
Cameron tells Corbyn he's heading to "political graveyard" so to misquote "my favourite band" they should both "meet at the cemetery gates". - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:21
Cowboys' Jaylon Smith will miss the 2016 season. - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 06:20 2
- Surprise! -- nm - David Jun 29, 07:01
- Darn, there goes my SCUFFL 3rd rd pick! -- nm - Strongbad Jun 29, 06:32
