Do you want to buy Brett Hull's house? It's now on the market. -- (link) - spamlet Oct 12, 10:49
To me this is the most telling/important piece of Electoral College voting in years to come. - MDH Oct 12, 10:44 4
- The Dems no doubt have a better starting map, but assuming 04/08/12 edicts a 16 win is wrong. -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:45 3
  - Not saying that at all, just saying that ground game/work has to be done for the GOP. You can't keep losing every one of these. - MDH Oct 12, 10:47 2
    - Also for ty97, Nate Silver was talking about this the other as "the thing the GOP knows, doesn't want to talk about, and needs to fix" -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:49 1
      - the absence of a GOP plan is not the same thing as the existence of a Democratic plan - mr monkey Oct 12, 10:52
I think Trump just may have called his own rally attendees fat -- (link) - ty97 Oct 12, 10:41

  - no love for hsxtt -- nm - oblique Oct 12, 10:48
Does anyone have a good link providing the proof that some of the Wikileaks leaked emails have been edited/doctored in the past? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:33 1
- I haven't really been paying attention, but I've only seen the suggestion that they might have been doctored, no offer of proof they have been. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Oct 12, 10:54
Former WWE star Alberto Del Rio is now president of a new MMA org -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:27 1

New MULaw poll of Wisconsin 10/6-10/9 (tape released 10/7. Debate 10/9 so this is pre-debate) Clinton 44 Trump 37 Johnson 9 Stein 3 ML 0 -- (link) - ty97 Oct 12, 10:25 14
- I'm really not sure why people consider WI a swing state? It's clearly blue. Not purple, blue. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:32 11
  - Just because it hasn't swung does not mean it lacks the ability to do so in the right conditions. -- nm* - znufrii, dad. Oct 12, 10:43 1
    - States can definitely swing. Actually see above for a comment I just made about consistency in states/flipping and what it's doing for the GOP. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:45
  - It's a blue state who elected Scott Walker 3 times. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:34 4
    - Yes, but I mean on a national level. The last time they GOP for president was 32 years ago. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:36 3
      - The day before tape came out, the poll found Trump 41 / Clinton 40 -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:40 1
        
        I understand the poll, I'm just stating I have a lot of faith that it wouldn't end up that way. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:45
      - I agree with you, I personally think of it as more of a blue state than a purple state. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:39
  - Midwest/upper midwest states like OH/MI/WI are (were?) potentially swingier this cycle with the demographic shifts among whites -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:33 3
    - OH and MI I get, just not WI. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:34
    - (also I think MU *always* polls WI because they are in WI) -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:34 1
      - look at the Thursday numbers in WI in the daily breakdown -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:36
- Strong poll variation by day pre- vs post-tape -- (link*) - ty97 Oct 12, 10:30
- so you're telling me there's a chance..... -- nm - ML Oct 12, 10:28
so the Thug Kitchen folks are pasty-white millenials huh - ML Oct 12, 10:19 5
- was there any doubt? -- nm - decline Oct 12, 10:23 1
  - This. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:24
- I thought that was obvious? -- nm - iSpam Oct 12, 10:23 1

- yeah, I had trouble when I learned that -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:20

  - Some say Paige started the Diva's Revolution!! -- nm* - Qale Oct 12, 10:42
Missouri poll (by Monmouth) October 9-11. Trump 46 / Clinton 41. Senate Blunt 46 / Kander 44. Gov: Koster 46 / Greiters 43 -- (link) - ty97 Oct 12, 10:14 9
- Kander has effective ads on the air and that's probably helping him but I don't think he takes it. -- nm - iSpam Oct 12, 10:26 7
  - I'd be sorta stunned to see MO with two D senators honestly -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:26 6
    - Waves usually break bigly -- nm - mr monkey Oct 12, 10:30
    - They have every state wide office but Lt Governor so it wouldn't shock shock me. - iSpam Oct 12, 10:28
    - But you never know. Blunt has stuck with Trump since over the weekend, right? -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:28 3
      - Yes. -- nm - iSpam Oct 12, 10:28 2
        
        Right now that seems a smart move (out of two bad choices politically) but I think it comes back to bite him when the next surprise drops -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:35 1
        
        Maybe? I think people have honestly made up their mind about Blunt. - spamlet Oct 12, 10:44
- Whatever about the Clinton/Trump, go Kander! -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:24
.....not the approach I'd take, personally -- (link) - ty97 Oct 12, 10:12
Taking back some !!!! from this morning: Salt Lake Tribune endorsed Obama twice as well. -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:06 2
- Though they could have endorsed Hitler and Romney would have still won Utah -- nm - mr monkey Oct 12, 10:07 1
  - Well, I'd hope so! -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 10:56
Bery, I like the rocks -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 12, 10:02

  - I'm hoping that it's just a matter of getting the timing down, or I'll have to content myself with playing against Ashlee and the boys to win... -- nm - IrishStephen Oct 12, 09:54 1
    - I played like two hours and then deleted the game. I found it sooooo clunky. - David Oct 12, 10:09
- you'll go blind -- nm - ML Oct 12, 09:33 1
  - ~I can see, I can see, I'm going blind~ -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:25

Never mind: Defecting Republicans begin undefecting -- (link) - ty97 Oct 12, 09:24 7

  - Ogre's Choice. -- nm - David Oct 12, 10:08
  - They have to weight the short-term vis the long-term, I think. - ty97 Oct 12, 09:36 2
    - Right, in the long term, standing with Trump is an albatross. -- nm - David Oct 12, 10:09 1
      - But within the GOP, not standing with him is worse -- nm - mr monkey Oct 12, 10:27

        Kind of. People from the past just started showing up one at a time. They did it with Exes and once with Skeletons. This is a little different. - Volnelk Oct 12, 09:58
