As Virginia Senate race tightens, GOP’s Gillespie confident about upsetting Warner | Fox News

As Virginia Senate race tightens, GOP’s Gillespie confident about upsetting Warner | Fox News



"Republican Ed Gillespie is making a tight race out of his ambitious plan to defeat Virginia Democratic Sen. Mark Warner, slicing deep into the incumbent’s lead in the final days to re-emerge as a player in the GOP set piece to take the Senate. ..."



What's really happening is that the pollsters are finally telling the truth because they don't want to be shown wrong at the election.



I'm beginning to wonder if the Republicans win is going to be much bigger than thought. This is looking a bit like 1994 when the reps won big.

Charlie Crist Has Used A Fan To Rattle Debate Opponent Before

Charlie Crist Has Used A Fan To Rattle Debate Opponent Before



The Democrat doesn't like to be seen sweating. He'd much rather look foolish with fans blowing him... Make that fans blowing -on- him. For a moment there I had a flashback to Bill Clinton.

LADIES WALK NAKED DAY

 LADIES WALK NAKED DAY (BRITISH NEWS) 
Think this would get their attention? 
Don't forget to mark your calendars.As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked and if he does, he must commit suicide. So next Saturday at 1 p.m. all British women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighbourhood terrorists.

Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their houses to demonstrate their support for the women and to prove that they are not Muslim terrorist sympathizers. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your patriotism. The British government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

Some things I've learned over the years about polls.

Some things I've learned over the years about polls.

1) In every election 40% vote dem, 40% vote rep. The elections are always decided by that 20% that's left. If a poll shows that candidate A has 42% and candidate B has 54% then taking away the 40% and multiplying the remainder by 5 gives you the actual difference of votes they will actually get. 42-40=2*5=10% and 54-40=14*5=70% So we see that A is just 10% and B is 70%.

2) Every published poll is not reliable up until the last week before the vote. I think there are several reasons for this. a) Used to get people out to vote. b) Used to discourage people from voting. c) Raising money. Etc. In all cases the polling is skewed to get the desired result and because they can't be disproved the pollsters have no qualms about lying. But the pollsters don't want to be seen as wrong so during the last week they start telling the truth so they can be close to the actual vote. That's when you'll see, "surges" in the polls. Lesson, ignore the polls until the last week.

I've learned other things, mostly that their seem to be far too many dems in DC but what can you do, they keep breeding.

"just 87,000 viewers"



Hell, most local news programs do better than that. This is just another example that liberal news shows on any kind on any medium are just not worth watching even for those who agree with them.

Huckabee Threatens to Leave Republican Party Over Gay Marriage

Huckabee Threatens to Leave Republican Party Over Gay Marriage | Video | RealClearPolitics



The far right lost this battle. Consider for a moment the implications of reversing this issue. It can't be done and the only thing that is being done now is to slow it down to give people time to get used to it. But it's here to stay and that a good thing. On this issue I am a moderate and not far right nor am I religious, I am agnostic and my god has no opinion on gay marriage. I understand why far right people are against it but it's time has come, it's here and it is not going away. It's time to move on and fight a better fight.

Yet Obama still supports it. I bet he gets a lot of financial support from Big Ag.

John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile - GeekWire Summit 2014





I first wanted to watch what he had to say about, "bendgate", which starts at the 20 minute mark. But I watched the whole thing. He's smart and very funny and R rated. Lots of bad language but... The 44 minutes went by fast and I laughed a lot. Makes me want to check out T-Mobile.

2014 World Championship of Public Speaking 1st Place winner

Little Akio

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing someAmerican History. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?" She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Akio, a bright foreign exchange studentfrom Japan, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775," he said.   “Very good! -- Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People,  shall not perish from the Earth'?" Again, no response except from  Little Akio: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863." "Excellent!" said the teacher  continuing, "Let's try one a bit more difficult -- Who said, 'Ask not what  your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country'?" Once again, Akio's was the only hand in the air and he said: "John F.  Kennedy, 1961. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be  ashamed of yourselves, Little Akio isn't from this country and he knows more  about our history than you do." She heard a loud whisper: "F---! those Japs." "Who said that? -- I want to know right now!? she angrily demanded. Little Akio put his hand up, "General MacArthur, 1945." At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke.' The teacher glares around and asks, 'All right! -- Now who said that?" Again, Little Akio says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991." Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? -- Suck this!" Little Akio jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!" Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little shit! -- If you say anything else -- I'll kill you!" Little Akio frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Jackson to the children testifying against him, 2004." The teacher fainted. As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, We're screwed!" Little Akio said quietly, "The American people, November 6, 2012."

Couple points. Teachers never looked this good when I was 16 and to my knowledge never had sex with the students.

Jimmy Carter says he would have defeated Reagan had he been more 'manly' | WashingtonExaminer.com

Jimmy Carter says he would have defeated Reagan had he been more 'manly' | WashingtonExaminer.com
Former President Jimmy Carter claimed Wednesday that he would have been re-elected and beaten Ronald Reagan in 1980 if had been more “manly” in his dealings with Iran.
Interviewed by the show "CNBC Meets," Carter repeated his belief that the failed mission to free American hostages held in Tehran killed his chances, but then added that had he gone to war, America would have rewarded him with a second term in 1980.
The delusions of an old man with a failing memory.

Senate Update: Watching The Signal And Not The Noise | FiveThirtyEight... Overall, there has been a lot of noise, but the signal has remained mostly steady. Republicans are ahead — by a few hairs.
The Reps will screw it up I'm sure.
