« Another Finding of the 269-269 Nightmare Scenario | Main | Excitable Andy Cautions NRO to "Chill" »

Make Sure You Vote!

Early numbers don't look too great, but they don't necessarily mean much. They're polls, unreliable to start with, and furthermore polls of unrepresentative samples of the population.

Don't let the early polls do to us what Dan Rather's early pronouncement of a Gore victory in Florida did to the conservatives of the Florida panhandle.

Vote. At least once.

And, if you want, share your voting experience with fellow newshawks.

Vote early, vote often.

Crap, I'm not getting any work done today.

Look... If Sen. Easter Island Head does win, we'll all have at least four years to piss and moan about it. Why the hurry?

Try again at the Corner:

"SECONDHAND INFO [Ramesh Ponnuru]
I'm told that pollsters close to the Bush campaign think that Bush is up in Florida and New Hampshire, down in Wisconsin, even in Pennsylvania and Michigan, and "doing well" in Ohio. And they don't think that the exit-poll numbers on NRO about Ohio add up. Fwiw."

"SECONDHAND INFO [Ramesh Ponnuru]
The Republican who gave it to me is a congenital pessimist and has been calling around "looking for bad news"--and not finding it."

the old fat man has set up a site to collect 'abuse stories'.

Repug Goons everywhere (heh heh)

Thank God for Google. you can find precinct addresses for every battleground state.

and it's all anonymous.

Exit polls? Pha! Ignore them. There was a pollster (some college cutie who wasn't pushing anything just collecting paper) outside the polls in Roswell GA. She was just standing there and you had to approach her to post your opinion.

And there's the rub. Any statistician will tell you that a self-selecting sample is completely worthless. You have to get a cross section of the fanatics and the barely committed tp get useful data. Ignore any exit poll for the same reason you would an Internet poll: only assholes with an ajend... adjen... motive vote in them.

Screw the early returns. Republicans are still at work.

Podcast: Sefton and CBD agree about Trump's silly $5k checks, Islam is an existential evil, Ukraine is a mess, and more!
As Kash Patel takes over as FBI head, unpardoned election-rigger Peter Strzok deletes his entire twitter history
My speculation: what he's really deleting are his DMs, which probably feature a fair few Deep State operatives coordinating with him. Don't worry, Elon Musk will resurrect those DMs.
Dick Durbin says Patel is a rilly bad guy, you guys
I prefer the heat. I can always wear shorts and flip-flops if it gets hot. But when it's below freezing it's not like I can just put pants on.

More fraudulent journalism at CBS: 60 Minutes interviewed two people who lost their jobs as a result of DOGE overhauling USAID. Kristina Drye & Adam Dubard emoted on behalf of thousands of USAID employees who have been terminated, but neither Kristina nor Adam was actually an employee of USAID. Clever word parsing and dishonest editing conveyed otherwise. [Buck]
Maori people in New Zealand reject LBGT message and stage counter parade. [dri]
Axios focus group: 11 out of 11 swing voters support Trump and Musk's actions, particularly their cuts to the federal budget
Axios notes that voters aren't buying the newest Dem op, which claims that the 100-billionaire Musk spent millions to get Trump elected so that he could raid the Social Security office and steal $700 checks from grandmas. For some reason!
lol, eat a dick, Axios

Trump to rude witchface c**t Kaitlin Collins: "Excuse me, we haven't asked you to speak yet"
Update: Trump pummels a female CNN reporter who sounds like Barbra-Streisand-nosed Kaitlin Collins
Her "question" -- her declaration thinly disguised as a question -- is that Russia could just withdraw its troops from Ukraine, so why do we need peace negotiations? Well, Genius, because armies that are winning do not just walk away without getting the losing army to give them something. It's so f***ing stupid. I think they're all autistic.
Maxine Waters explains why she doesn't want Musk auditing the Grifter Government: "We don't know what they have on us"

NEWS Sen Judic Cmte advanced Kash Patel's nomination to be FBI Dir 12-10

Senate floor vote comes next

Brooke Rollins was confirmed as SecAg by big margin, like 74-26 or something like that
If Trump pulls this off, he'll have an excellent chance to be snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize!
