Prester Jane posted:The thing about those polls is that they presume a competent GOTV effort from both parties, where is one party is going to have an unusually competent GOTV and the other party is going to have none whatsoever. Are there any tiny radar blips from B-Rock's GOTV machine? He kept it in intact this time so there shouldn't be this slow start like back in the early parts of 2012.

So that Russian hacker that Maniford almost certainly hired released Clinton's DNC "vulnerabilities" list. Turns out it's easier to pay a hacker to get the oppo that the other side already made for you.

The actual Whitewater scandal was nothing, but it spawned an entire industry of "investigating" (making up stupid poo poo about) the Clintons that has never stopped. The stuff in the latest anti-Hillary books is the same poo poo that's been flung around constantly for the last 25 years. It's back to the future all over again!

Well, say what you will about the current WWE, but McMahon is a hell of an entertainer. That might be my all time favorite word filter. Yes, even over Ted Cruz.

Crain posted:I always figured that the fundraising calls were left to campaign staff anyway. But I suppose if these are the biggest of the big fish they really do expect/deserve a direct call from the candidate him/herself. Fundraising calls are basically half of what a candidate does. Donors aren't going to open their check books easily for someone calling on behalf of the candidate, they want to hear the candidate have a nice two minute conversation with them, talk about their issues, and then maybe they'll write a check. Anyone running for office from state legislator to Governor to Senator spends a ton of time talking to donors and asking for cash. Lower down the ticket, candidates make all the fundraising calls for like $50-100 and up. At the Presidential level you have staffers who make the small-ball asks for you, so you're only really calling to ask for checks of a couple grand. Crain posted:Side thought though: how do you think the 22 donors who didn't get a call feel right now? I doubt they know for sure. It's probably not like they were expecting the call. Warcabbit posted:http://gothamist.com/2016/06/20/trump_rape_lawsuit.php The amazing thing about this is that "Bill Clinton rode on a jet with Jeff Epstein a couple times" is a big part of the attempts at reigniting Clinton sex scandals. Those allegations (which again, are just "knew a guy who turned out to be a pervert") kinda dead in the water if Trump was at Epstein's parties (regardless of the merits of this particular accusation).

ComradeCosmobot posted:She's picking Tim Kaine isn't she. Kaine or Castro IMO. Warren would be replaced by a republican in the senate which would be bad if she's trying to flip that (and she is) while Kaine's replacement would be chosen by McAuliffe and Castro would just be leaving a cabinet position. Kaine is the boring white guy that will be drafted to a dead end position while Castro would more than likely energize Hispanics to her and not just against Trump and it might possibly prime him for a run in 2024 and really gently caress over republicans. My vote goes to whatever fucks over republicans more since she's fueled by spite.

Castro seems slightly underqualified, but I guess Clinton is nothing if not OVERqualified so maybe that's fine. But if we're talkin' token Hispanics, why not this Xavier Becerra guy whose name's been getting tossed around?

Outside of a kind of low-profile cabinet job, he doesn't have a lot of experience. The mayor of San Antonio is more or less symbolic. I think it's going to be Warren, Perez or Kaine -- in that order.

Becerra would be the best choice if she wants to groom a successor imo, but from that article it looks like it's just between Castro, Warren, and Kaine.

Trump has released a list of names of all of the advisors on his "Evangelical Executive Advisory Board." Politico thought it would be good journalism to lead off the story by announcing that Michelle Bachman is leading all of the members of the board. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/trump-evangelical-advisory-board-224612 ...alphabetically.
