The media really has angerd me with their obsessive peddling of polls. It's intellectually lazy for the sake of ratings Hype and more importantly, I feel it reduces the importance of choosing a "Fit" person for President based on some popularity contest or "horse-race."

We're electing a man or woman to be the President of the Unites States, for goodnes sake! On a national level, what decision can be more serious than that!?! An "unfit" President can lead to catastrophic outcomes at every major level.

But I digress…..

Gallup (the "Gold-standard" of polling) has announced that, given their abysmally WRONG polling results during the run-up to the Presidential election of 2012 (and IMO 2008) that orgnaization will sit this presidential election out, which I think is a great idea.

Gallup and a few other pollsters for that matter admit to being confronted with "unprecedented obstacles" that can have a significantly negative impact on collecting data.

Truth is, since 2008 I've pretty much written off polls except for analysis by Nate Silver.

I didn't watch because…well…I knew that Hillary was going to hold her owm. And frankly, she's got my vote, barring any further screw-ups on her part (and I don't see her screwing up again).

Amie Parnes at The Hill:
Pressed by debate moderator Anderson Cooper about the email issue being a legitimate one, Clinton replied, "I never said it wasn't legitimate. I have said that I have answered all the questions."

Clinton maintained that she's been forthright and transparent when it comes to her emails. And she added with a smile, "I'm still standing." [….]

Now therein lies the nightmare for Repubs. They are gripped with crippling FEAR and angst because they know that, despite ALL they've done to try to destroy the Clintons (since the 90s), the Clintons are STILL standing.

Hillary is STILL standing. And appears to be More confident than ever.

Btw- let's just "tell the truth and shame the devil" as they say….

The main reason the Republican Party is in such disarray now (the main reason the right-wing base is SO angry an has turned against the GOPe) is because their political leaders FAILED to defeat the BLACK Man in the White House. They FAILED to de-legitimize the presidency of America's first African-American President – Pres. Barack. Hussein. Obama.

Truth is, they can't even compete with the man.

Look at him. Not only is Pres. Obama STILL standing (despite EVERYTHING the Repubs have thrown at him during BOTH terms), he's racking up historic achievements at a time when his presidency is supposed to be winding down!?!

Amazing.

The Hill Reader:
"Give it up dopes….Obama OWNS the GOP, and Hillary just put another down payment to take them off of Obama's hands for cheap come Nov 2016."
