Allowing Time for the Time it Takes After every election cycle, campaign operatives have what they call their postmortems. Coming together from all sides, various operatives from various campaigns and levels gather at dozens of meetings around the country, sponsored by political organizations...

Voters in seven of the 10 states that had abortion rights on the ballot voted to expand or guarantee abortion rights. But abortion rights advocacy did not carry over to become Trump opposition. So, as things turned out, abortion rights was not the defining issue of 2024.

Like Trump not attending Biden's inauguration.

Agreed. The problem is, the same was said in prior elections. Yet, polls are like a car wreck. People (and the media) can't help looking at them, even if you know you should direct your eyes elsewhere. Due in no small part to the "science" the pollsters talk about, we expect the polls to be...

Acknowledging the error. Learning from it. Moving on. "The poll findings we produced for The Des Moines Register and Mediacom did not match what the Iowa electorate ultimately decided in the voting booth [Tuesday],” Selzer said in a statement provided to the Register. “I’ll be reviewing data...

Trump Has Humiliated His Foes That was the headline in one of the early analysis articles now out after Trump's win "Trump Has Humiliated His Foes." (Source) I said last night that I was concerned as I went to bed before the election results were known. I woke to the news this morning feeling...

Going to Bed Concerned I've been watching the news all night. The surprise surge by Harris I was hoping for and expected has not happened. Trump is showing more strength than I expected. The race is not yet decided as no swing states have been called. Staying up longer will only leave me tired...

So, her highly respected track record now includes a miss. That surprised me but it happened.

It Was Just a Joke MAGA's response to the Madison Square Garden "joke" that Puerto Rico is a floating island of trash was that it was just a joke, and Trump didn't even know about it. Maybe so, but Trump failed to condemn it and that cost him thousands of Puerto Rican votes, and likely the...

Ralston Provides Early Numbers Time shown is Eastern Time

Didn't Work Before, Won't Work Now Trump cried wolf before, and it didn't work then. He's crying wolf now, and it will have even less impact ahead. Same old tired song from the same old tired man. Only this time, he'll no longer be a contender for the White House. He'll have even fewer legs to...

Republicans Need Better Lawyers But they don't want better lawyers, because if they had them, there would be none willing to abuse the justice system with toddler-level filings. Look for a flurry of such findings after Election Day. The flurry has already begun. As with the last election...

Trump Can Dish it Out But Cannot Take It Trump is fine calling the press enemy of the people. He's fine complaining about censorship. And he's fine censoring media outlets because he does not like what they say about him. Poor baby. "Trump campaign denies and revokes journalists’ election...

Cool if True If PA Latinos break 90% for Harris, Harris wins PA. But 90% is an incredibly (as in non-credible) high number. What demographic group breaks 90% for any candidate? That said, if Latinos break even 60% for Harris, Harris wins PA.

Not the Best Way to Score Points With the Judge

Harris Campaign Knocks on 100,000+ PA Doors Election Day Morning CNN: "A Harris campaign official says that as of 11 a.m. ET, this morning, more than 100,000 doors have been knocked on by campaign staffers and volunteers across the battleground state of Pennsylvania." How many doors has the...

These 10 states are voting on abortion ballot measures in the 2024 election https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/05/politics/abortion-state-ballot-measure-dg/index.html

Polls Don't Win Tight Elections; Ground Games Do "PITTSBURGH, PA - Earlier today, the Harris-Walz Campaign announced they had knocked on 805,000 doors in Pennsylvania on Saturday alone. This number does not include doors knocked by unions and other independent groups working to elect the...

I thoroughly agree. The Court has been far too tolerant of his contemptuous behavior for far too long.
