His poll numbers keep improving. If he becomes competitive in Florida and Ohio I start getting concerned.

No they don't.

His are flat as can be. Hers are softening a bit, mainly in robo and online polls.

Oh you consider giving to church the same as giving to charity?

Considering there's no verification that he's given much to either over the past 10 years, it's notable.

How the presumption of guilt affects the reputation of the Clinton Foundation even when there's no wrongdoing

Because people “know” that she is corrupt, every decision she makes and every relationship she has is cast in the most negative possible light. When she doesn’t allow her policy decisions to be driven by donors, she’s greeted by headlines like “Hillary Blasts For-Profit Colleges, But Bill Took Millions From One.”

AT&T is one of the very biggest donors to America’s Promise, and for much of the Bush administration, Colin and Alma’s son Michael was chair of the Federal Communications Commission, which, among other things, regulates AT&T. I never saw anyone write a story investigating whether AT&T’s donations improperly influenced Powell’s pro-telecom regulatory stances. But it’s genuinely unimaginable that if Powell had chosen not to help AT&T with regulatory matters the press would have blasted him as a hypocrite. That would have been ridiculous.

But once you “know” that a putative charity is really just a nexus of corruption, then even the failure to be swayed by contributions becomes a news story. And of course once your decision-making is put under that kind of scrutiny, your impulse is to shut down and try to keep information close to your chest. But when you “know” that a person is corrupt, her lack of transparency is further evidence of corruption. And any minor information that does slip out is defined as news, even if the information does not actually contain evidence of anything all that interesting.

God also made the platypus. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time.

'Evangelical adviser to Donald Drumpf' Michele Bachmann. Fuck, that's terrifying.

I mean if you're a devout follower, wouldn't you believe that god did everything that has happened? Including choosing Obama to be president?

[archibaldcrane]

And murdering 6 million Jews, yeah

No, that just means it was the work of the devil.

See how easy this is?

This devil bloke seems more powerful than god then. I think I'd rather worship him.

The salt from the primary challengers is hilarious.

“After refusing to debate while running a slash and burn campaign devoid of actual ideas, I hope the senator can rest comfortably with his conscience as he continues to lecture others about civility.” — Kelli Ward the challenger to McCain

“I’ll concede that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a corporate stooge.” — Tim Canova the Bernie stooge trying to take on DWS

[Quicklet]

I'm sure Trump's concession speech if he loses will be much more graceful.

"I didn't want the Presidency anyway, look at how much money I made off the campaign, i'd still fuck me"

I doubt McCain (or any politician) would do what he does if he had a conscience, honestly. she's way off the mark with that one
