DW-NOMINATE scores votes in Congress so they couldn't calculate a score for her. If the chart had gone back to '68 Agnew would have been absent too. Or Shriver in '72 for that matter.

Ah... ok. Thanks for the clarification.

PA more likely than VA for Trump, and clinton hasn't spent a dollar there aside from $100k in pittsburgh area (prob for NE ohio)

People have told me they're seeing tons of Hillary ads in PA, especially the 'Trump made fun of a disabled guy" and "Kids watching Trump say awful things" ones.

Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
Been too busy all week to really delve into the aftermath of the Ted Cruz convention madness, but here's a round up of opinions from the right:

https://twitter.com/SarahPalinUSA/status/756172242724147200

Rush: Trump Used Cruz to Pull Off Unity
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/07/21/trump_used_cruz_to_pull_off_unity

quote:

"His gamble is that Trump is gonna lose and that he is going to be viewed in a couple of years as Winston Churchill... Cruz, I'm sure, is banking on that. If Trump loses, that eventually somebody is gonna say, "The only guy... The only guy..." This is what he's hoping. "The only guy that stood up and told us the truth that we didn't want to hear was Ted Cruz." The problem is, Cruz is not Churchill in the sense that he doesn't start out with a lot of love and adoration in the party.

They already despise him for these government shutdowns and what he did to Mitch McConnell and so forth...

Now, if Trump wins and doesn't lose, that's the gamble that Cruz took with what he's doing, but he intended to do it. The Trump campaign knew he was going to do it; the Trump campaign let it happen. And again, two things: The party is now unifying behind Trump. Maybe not fully, but much more than they were doing so before Cruz spoke last night. You can't deny that. You might want to try, but you can't. And we're gonna have blockbuster eyeballs tuned in to watch this thing tonight. Even more than would have/

Politico GOP insiders:
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/gop-convention-trump-caucus-226000

quote:

The Cruz speech received poor marks from those same Republican insiders. Four-in-five said it was a “selfish act” to address the convention without getting behind Trump. Only 20 percent described it as a “principled stand.”

Cruz “showed his true colors as just another craven politician willing to put his own political ambition ahead of the interests of the party and the country,” a Colorado Republican said. “It's a risky bet — if Hillary wins in November as a result of the divisions Cruz continues to foment within the party, the GOP will hold the senator from Texas partially responsible for the multiple justices that Clinton will appoint to the Supreme Court, undermining the very conservative principles and constitution Ted Cruz claims to champion.”

“Cruz almost looks like he trying to ensure that Hillary will win so he can run against her in 2020,” added a Virginia Republican.

“It was beyond selfish,” a Wisconsin Republican said. “It was beyond stupid and showed Ted Cruz for what he is. Cruz’s speech was a head-shaking moment. And, he's toast in 2020. Compare him to Ryan.”

And the final nail in the coffin:
