Re: Pandemic: Life on the ground

I was tested in June in advance of a medical procedure. It stung, but not as bad as I expected. Negative result. My wife was tested after having seizures several months ago. I don't think she was awake for her test. Negative also.

Pennsylvania just does not seem complete without counting the votes of Pittsburg and Philadelphia.
Why? do you still have some boxes of votes for there?
Moksha doesn't. The voters in PA do. And they'll be counted.

Re: Biden Probable Winner according to FOX News

If Biden wins it will be an impotent presidency from day one. He didn't get any political capital that would accompany a blow-out win; Dems don't have the Senate; and Dems lost 2018 gains in House (a.k.a. a smaller Pelosi caucus). If Biden wins, it is an anti-Trump win and not a Biden-policy win. M...

Re: Biden Probable Winner according to FOX News

On the current AP map, if each candidate wins the state in which he is currently leading, Biden wins with 270 EV. So, Trump has to find a state currently trending blue and reverse the trend. His problem is that the votes remaining to be counted are very likely to be majority Biden. So where does he ...

Re: The Demise of Polls

The RCP average had Trump + 0.2 in North Carolina Biden +0.9 in Florida Trump +1.0 in Georgia Biden +0.9 in Arizona All within the margin of error I think. Of course, Wisconsin and Michigan were obviously way out of whack. I'm wondering if voter suppression is taken into account in polling. It shou...

Re: The Demise of Polls

Agreed; this was no shining moment for 538 or so many others. I’m perfectly happy to wait and see the final vote tallies before condemning 538 to the dustbin. Too many people interrupted his model’s forecast of 90% chances of a Biden win as a prediction of a Biden landslide. That’s not correct. Tha...

Re: My disgust with Democrats regarding "court stacking"

During the Obama presidency, the Republican-controlled Senate adopted a strategy of trying to hold open spots for the next Republican President by not following the normal process of considering Obama's nominees for court position. This strategy culminated failing to even give a hearing to his last...

Re: Trump ended COVID19

These folks had to add a new color -- deep purple -- to their map. At greater than 1000 new cases per million, the Dakotas should have their own color. But not sure what they would use.

Re: Advice to vote (From "Maybe Inspiration")

I think there's fourth. Trump quits in a huff, in exchange from a Pence pardon. How would that help him with SDNY? Am I out of my mind? Wait. Like. I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. The chaos making is taking it's toll. No, you’re on the right track. Generally, whether a presidential par...
