Which they have. She's an active DAR member on her father's side.

Yeah, like, not that there was probably any doubt, but just in case there is any thought that context might help his remarks at all:

Yes, if you're offering something you thought of that has no evidence it's speculation. That's the definition.

Mark Kirk, it should be noted, has been busted multiple times for claiming military honors that he never received or earned. I'm sure next week he'll be shouting from the rooftops about how he did in fact apologize and Tammy Duckworth thought his apology was so gracious that she said he should win.

STL Post-Dispatch polls have two statistical ties in the Missouri races, with Roy Blunt holding a slim lead in the Senate election and Chris Koster (D) leading by a point on a surging Eric Greitens (R).

It should be noted that Trump is expected to win here by about six to seven percentage points, and his "drain the swamp" message has resonated quite well in a state where there aren't any limits on lobbying/gifts/contributions, so that's why you're seeing some of these odd splits--both the challengers have very much portrayed themselves as clean political outsiders.

Not really but there were a few recent polls that had a tighter margin than you would expect. Clinton has never been well liked here and will still win here easily, but doesn't hurt to make sure. Plus Bernie is here a lot to sway the Madison college kids to vote Dem.

The theory behind pulling out of Florida was they have the resources to do Florida, or both Missouri and North Carolina. Florida is expensive and the only way Murphy wins is HRC drives turnout through the roof which she's working as hard as she can at.

does anybody have interest in writing a good OP for a california proposition thread? ive been sinking my sa time into reading a single loving thread for some reason (this time quixote is gonna knock down that windmill) so i kinda dont have time i guess

mostly im curious about that proposition to make drug companies sell to medi-cal, or whatever the medicaid here's called, at the same price they sell to the VA (or whatever the law would be). seems like the kind of thing that could lead to a lot of people losing their medications, because there's no way to tell the drug companies not to gently caress people over and they'll want a backlash so they can maintain their regulatory capture of the institutions that are supposed to fight for voters? anybody have a good write-up on that one?

i remember reading articles in australia about the government negotiating drug prices for their people, using the number of their customers as leverage in exactly the way private insurance companies do ya kno, and it saddened me that such a conversation is basically out of bounds here. but im also ignorant of health policy! so

the other ones are somewhat interesting too and might be worth discussing, i kind of dont like the cigarette tax increase bc its a lot of money out of the pockets of poor people who are already addicted

and my individual vote doesnt matter anyway but the fiction that it does is fun to maintain :sun:

I wouldn't worry. Orlando Sentinel says no high-level judge has ever actually been voted out:

Orlando Sentinel posted:


Critics of the retention process often point out that no justice or appellate judge has ever been rejected by voters. But that says more about the high caliber of justices and appellate judges in Florida, and the process for nominating them, than any defects in the system for evaluating them.
