It's not all assumption. In most places we have stats on how many people have requested and returned ballots AND their party registration. By and large, Dems are crushing it in the early voting.Carpet_pissr wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:14 pm I keep seeing stats about the massive numbers of voters relative to prior years. Maybe because I have bias to the left, I also get the sense that the sources making these claims assume that those huge crowds (certainly most) are voting D.
Massive early voting crowds could be highly motivated voters for both parties, no?
I catch myself making that same assumption, probably out of hope for our country. I prefer accuracy, though, especially with something this important.
I suppose it's possible, but it would require polling errors of near-galactic proportions for Trump to win Michigan at this point.LordMortis wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 3:59 pm Was performing maintenance on my Boss' Boss' workstation for about an hour today as a target of opportunity. He's a great guy and straight shooter and after the hour, even as he was convinced Trump is going to lose and the economy will suffer worse under Biden than it will Trump, he actually moved me from fearing Biden will lose Michigan straight in to having a belief that Trump's support will be stronger here in 2020 than it was in 2016. The economy is what he does for a living and it's single issue voting, he is no GOP guy. If that is his informed belief (and he is well informed) and he has become a Trump voter, against the reality I want to live in, it's becoming more and more apparent that not only necessarily true Trump isn't going to lose votes, he might actually have gained them here. He (Boss' Boss) is convinced Trump will lose based on COVID and the economy will suffer worse from the loss than it will from the win. He is also not convinced Biden would have handled better (though is not convince Biden would handle the same or worse)
About 13% of voters in Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania settled on their candidate choice in the week before the last election, a report by a professional association of opinion researchers found. Those voters broke for Mr. Trump by 30 percentage points in Wisconsin and by 17 points in Florida and Pennsylvania, helping to deliver narrow victories, the study said.
This month, the Journal/NBC News poll went looking for signs of a similar, late shift—and found a different picture than in 2016. Undecided voters seem to be moving equally toward both presidential candidates.
I've noticed that trend around here -- people signalling that they're Republicans, but not showing their trump card. Also, there's rather a lot of lawn sign theft and vandalism. I've never seen that before.Grifman wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:13 pm Just a purely anecdotal single observation point about something I've never seen before, may mean nothing. Drove by a yard full of Republican candidate signs except for one - there was no sign for Trump. Found that interesting.
I live in one of the (R) strongholds for NJ and I was driving through three separate towns today on business. I saw lots and lots of local (R) signs for politicians and more than a few Biden/Harris signs. However, I didn't see a single Trump sign - which struck me as odd. Every light and intersection I went through had the typical signage everywhere, but not a single Trump sign to be seen. I also thought it was really, really strange.Grifman wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:13 pm Just a purely anecdotal single observation point about something I've never seen before, may mean nothing.

You're going to need either a celebratory drunk or a despair drunk. Better plan on it either way.Isgrimnur wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:31 pm I’ve put in for Wednesday off. I’ll try to spend Tuesday night drinking and consuming other media while trying to ignore my phone. And probably check the news late so I know if I need to get drunk on Wednesday.
They’re all in my neighborhood.Smoove_B wrote:I live in one of the (R) strongholds for NJ and I was driving through three separate towns today on business.

I haven’t seen a single yard sign for either candidate in my neighborhood. Last election, there were a lot of Trump signs, with a few scattered Hillary supporters.Grifman wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:13 pm Just a purely anecdotal single observation point about something I've never seen before, may mean nothing.

I've seen a total of one Biden sign in my town. There are A LOT less Trump signs this time around. I was up in Hackettstown and that was Trump city. There's a guy who built these gigantic sign boards about how terrible Biden is. And by my work there's a house with neon Trump letters and blown up Trump faces on the house.Smoove_B wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:51 pmRunningMn9 wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:36 pmThey’re all in my neighborhood.Smoove_B wrote:I live in one of the (R) strongholds for NJ and I was driving through three separate towns today on business.

Yeah, you're definitely surrounded. And I have seen them around, it was just striking not to see any in groupings with other political signs. My neighbor put one on his yard which isn't surprising at all. I mentioned it earlier this summer - he slapped a giant Blue Lives Matter flag on his front yard, courtesy of a flagpole that was installed. It kinda surprised me as it's the only type of political signaling I've seen on the entire block and even in my larger area. I'll be curious to see how things evolve after next week - either way.
I, for one, will remain drunk until someone wins this game of thrones. Pray that it happens before January.LawBeefaroni wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:47 pmOr a baseline drunk for the next 5 days.Kraken wrote: Wed Oct 28, 2020 9:33 pmYou're going to need either a celebratory drunk or a despair drunk.

Trump is now chanting COVID! COVID! COVID! at his rallies. He is reduced to: But Tucker Carlson had documents! Until the deep state destroyed them! he apparently sent the only copy out rather than taking precautions most junior-high schoolers would easily understand.
There was only one small Biden sign on our street, hiding by the tree outside one of our neighbor's houses. Until I went to our local farmer's market 3 weeks ago and saw they were giving out Biden/Harris signs. So I asked for one and now it's in our front yard. If you imagine a "T" we're at the T intersection and the sign faces down the length of the T. I was a bit apprehensive as my wife thought our neighbors to our right were Trump supporters (the wife watches Fox news), and most of the folks down the length of the T are military families. Turns out our neighbor to the right wanted to know where we got our sign and another Biden sign went up outside one of the houses down the T.Octavious wrote: Thu Oct 29, 2020 8:28 am Well I can say that I know a lot of people in my town that support Biden, but are too scared to post signs. Trump supporters are the same people that would have a singing fish on the wall. So throwing signs up all over the place is their jam.

Because he is also a grifter and uses God as a tool to sell to actual believers is my instinct. I don't have the an anti-christian bias I see from a lot of the anti evangelicals but it does seem to me there are a lot of people who treat the bible as sword and shield without actually believing Jesus Christ.Jaymann wrote: Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:48 am Presumably Carlson has a wife and family and goes to church.

Is this true or a joke? I just can't tell anymore.
It started as a complaint that all the Fake News Media talks about is "Covid! Covid! Covid!" (obviously in order to hurt Donald), but now it sounds like he's basically cheering for it.
BTW, don't assume for a second that this "evidence" was actually lost. Today's story is about planting the seed and raising expectations for what's coming.Jaymann wrote: Thu Oct 29, 2020 10:48 am Presumably Carlson has a wife and family and goes to church.
