Utah is a pretty weird place I guess. If you had to vote today in a matchup between Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Gary Johnson, who would you vote for?  http://gravismarketing.com/polling-and-market-research/current-utah-polling/

Hillary is more likely to get 400 electoral votes than Trump is to get 270. Think about that.

Also, 1936 was a larger margin of victory than 1984, but FDR has 2 less EV becuase Hawaii and Alaska didn't exist yet. Landon had 8 EV FDR had 61% of the popular vote

Here in Austin after we "Kicked out" Uber and Lyft, we had six new ridesharing companies in a month, all of whom are more than happy to meet city requirements. I doubt they're as good as Uber or Lyft yet (or ever) but it's interesting that Uber and Lyft were actually acting as a barrier to competition and innovation while pretending that's all they cared about.

If I have to listen to my father-in-law's girlfriend rail about how UBER IS THE SHININ' STAR OF THE FREE MARKET  one more time, I'm going to loving puke.Mere mention of the word Uber (my wife and I use it on occasion, as does her company) is a trigger for a diarrheal treatise on 'free morkets!'

New Book on the Presidency of George W. Bush is out.quote:To put salt in the family wounds, now comes Bush, Jean Edward Smith’s biography of George W. Bush, the 43rd president – and, of course, son of the 41st. Smith wrote "George Bush's War," a book critical of the elder Bush’s Gulf War and, in “Bush,” paints a devastating portrait of George W. Bush. Who wants to start a USPol book club?

ComradeCosmobot posted:Not all that impressive actually. Hillary +5% just nabs Arizona, Missouri and Georgia. As someone who lives in Arizona, it'd be a big deal to us. Right now we're the Koch Brothers' private laboratory of democracy, and we're going to see what happens when you eliminate public education. If Hillary boosts downticket races, and Trump suppresses Republican races, we might see a real shift.

I've been saying for months that women are going to decide this thing, and they loathe Trump Work with enough Clinton people and you'll see that there's a lot of women who don't feel like they can safely go against the Republican placeholder candidate in public, but are more than ready to do so at the polls. IIRC Trump isn't even winning with poor, uneducated white women, which should be his strongest group, but the last poll of that I remember was from pre-coalesce

In my case the owls will still get fed if I don't show up, but while I'm doing that a paid person can be doing something I'm not qualified or allowed to do. At our aviary they have 2 pairs of birds that are extinct in the wild and they are managing them until such a time that they can be reintroduced. That's pretty cool!
