So as my avatar indicates I post a lot about sports here and elsehwere and while it isn't a thing on SA on a lot of sports sites people who think they are a lot smarter than they actually are will dump a bunch of data in to excel, spend 15 minutes messing around with it and then make big effortposts about their "statistical analysis" and what it proves. When really all they did was find an average at best, or totally misapply basic principles of statistics at worst.

Mook and the rest of Hillary's team were basically guys posting on Rivals about how if you look close enough you'll find that the backup QB really is the best player in the country.

did hillary lose because she didn't have yard signs, or was the lack of enthusiasm which lead to her loss evidenced by the lack of yard sign placement...

I mean at least the centrist Dems would protect the loving voting rights act

To be honest I'm extremely demoralized about turning things around the more I think about how easy it will be for GOP-controlled states to minimize votes and perpetuate their own power
modern dems would only protect the voting rights act b/c it helps them in elections

in a situation where voter disenfranchisement might hurt them, they don't care (e.g. the arizona democratic primaries)

Yeah Cory Booker seems like an incredibly lovely "truth is in the middle" combination of Clinton's wonkery and Obama's charisma.

I really hate the idea that just because a guy is single people are being all 'hur hur queer am I right' still.

That said if he IS closeted I'm 100% sure he wants to plan his coming out for optimum political gains and absolutely has a few scenarios planned out for that.

2020: Senator Booker, you claim to stand up for working American's but in the senate you've repeatedly voted in favor of financial and pharmaceutical industries. Why should the democratic party nominate you for president?

We put out tons of yard signs for Clinton. How long they lasted with the Trump people around was another issue.
