I still say we should have upended the Constitutional requirement of native-born status for presidents and elected the Governator.

In addition to being just awesome, and maybe a half-qualified president, it would also make us like one Franchise War away from Demolition Man being legit.

Pennsylvania shouldn't be a surprise no matter how it goes. It really is the epitome of the rural vs. metropolitan division in America right now.

Btw, you guys realize if Hillary wins it's likely going to be Bush vs. Gore all over again, right? I doubt Trump will accept it.

Same goes with Clinton.

I highly doubt she will accept the results if it turns against her also.

There is something cosmically amusing about getting in my car to go vote, turning on the cd player and the first words i hear are
"Like the seed of all creation or a doomsday scheme
The future might be bright or bleak
But you know popular consensus doesn’t mean much to me..."

Only to be furthered when upon leaving the polling place after voting and the first thing to come on is a song called [Welcome to the] 'New dark ages'....

Was waiting for someone to post that. If you see the full video, he simply finished up and glanced at that direction to see if she was done as well. Still funny ... i guess

In election news:

WP is already hedging the election in case Clinton loses

Long story short: Voters couldn't vote because they were "denied" access to vote.

It would make sense if it was Gaga. I can see that.

Let's be real for a second. The Nazis were *** scum.

But they were seriously snazzy dressers.

Just...so snazzy.

Hugo Boss, ***.

So basically, people doing what Trump wants, going out and trying to intimidate and bully people into not voting.

No idea about the scale of things, but it's disturbing. "Go and police your fellow citizens and ensure they aren't 'voting fraudulent.'"

Not that people doing so have a single credential indicating they have any idea what that means other than "if they look like they might vote against who you want, do something about it."

Nate Silver is hedging now too. He's taking a lot of fire from the left, and his forecasting reputation is at stake as well. That's what happens when you're supposed to be an impartial, statistically-based observer but you become one side's darling. You not only have to worry about your accuracy, you have to worry about being perceived as helping the opposition.

Statistics and politics don't mix well, not matter what field you're in. Trust me.

Statistics aren't difficult, but they frequently have too much nuance for the average observer who hasn't studied them to really glean anything worthwhile from them.

Which is why polling date is useful by some measures to people who understand it, but is worthless and even potentially detrimental to people who don't know what they're looking at.

Which is like 95% of people reading articles on CNN or Fox or w/e.
