My final optimistic prediction. Kamala wins. Blue wall is close but not razor thin margins. She also wins one of either NC or GA plus NV, which is razor close, remains unknown for a few days, but ultimately doesn’t matter. I say we know by late Wednesday morning.

So all options are reasonably in play. In that case I think we can all just ignore the micro polling shifts over the next 6 days

The irony is that his decision lost the loyalty of folks who DID trust the Post. So he just added 200,000 folks (at minimum) to the problem he’s cynically appealing to now.

Nice work, Jeff. Maybe time to get out of the media game.

“complemented”

Yes. It’s not my preference as I find hybrid meetings hard to navigate but it does give folks added flexibility

He still owes the city 200k from his last rally here in 2019.

Like keep the kids as far away from him as possible weird. Hell, keep the dog as far away from him weird

I know the weird thing has largely passed, but these people are fucking weird. Like let’s never associate with that dude weird. Like let’s leave as soon as this guy shows his face weird

Two poles fighting for the soul of the country for a quarter century with razor thin margins and massive stakes
October 27, 2024 at 8:20 PM
Definitely

That’s alright guys. I tweaked my knee anyways. Better to not push it

To add: these are things you can never anticipate or predict. Indeed as a faculty in the know, I’ve seen searches evolve in ways I would never have imagined

I’m resolving to ignore them. The daily fluctuations don’t change the underlying reality - it’s either really close or the polls are really off. In either case, no need to poll watch. If something huge shifts or happens I’ll hear about it anyways.

Healthy line here in Albuquerque at 2:30 in the afternoon

Head over now. They’ll be in a great mood

Canvas Eagles fans only after the game and if they win. Otherwise protect your life

This 1000x. I don’t think most people can wrap their heads around how much a billion dollar is. It is always dangerous for anyone to have that many resources

At this point it’s who wins the ground game

I feel like this is their primary ‘strategy’
