One of the best mulches.

I was about to post "I need a break". My addiction to the computer is not helping me, nor is listening to the TV. I will vote. She will win.

and this one is going to be amazing for me, especially as a woman and a life-long supporter of feminism!

I haven't ridden a horse in 2 years since I had to put my old one down & found a home for the evil pony.
My neighbor offered me one of her horses to ride. He was as stunned as I was that he was going for a trail ride. We rode down some logging roads and splashed in a pond then came home. I felt young again and the old boy had a pep in his step when a breeze blew up his tail.

Putting them on ignore for the rest of the election could be helpful as well.

This hasn't been a race since at least May. Clinton had this wrapped up months ago. The rest has been a media sponsored horse race and shit-show. We get Trump outrages followed by Clinton stories followed by more Trump crap followed by more Clinton stuff. And on and on it goes. There really isn't a great "undecided" group in the middle, and the delegates fall so heavily for HRC that the race is already run. But, the fawning corporate media has to sell more beer and cars and dick pills and shoes, so the whole affair is "trumped" up and concocted. Just watch Tweety and others blast STFU donnie for a couple of days, only to come back to the other side and talk about the untrustworthy HRC. It's sad, it's predictable, and unfortunately - it works for a large number of Americans. In truth, what really ails our country is the lack of an honest, investigative press. Without that, we get people like newtie and rudy talking about dirty Bill fucking around and nobody calls them on their own bullshit to their faces. Unfriggin' believable.

What is the effect on House, Senate and local races? How will that affect the Clinton presidency? Are we not allowed to talk about it or are we supposed to assume the only race that exists is the presidential one?

I am just so damn angry and Comey pulling this shit this close to the election. He needs to have his ass handed to him on a platter on Nov 9. Obama needs to fire his ass and tell him, "Uh, you might not want to use me as a reference."

It can fire up a lot of Democrats who might have felt more casual about voting, because they assumed she's got this in the bag already. Now, some of those might realize they NEED to get their asses to the polls, and that maybe this is NOT a slam-dunk. This may end the complacency that many of us have warned against.

against a witch hunt that has gone on far too long, already. The feeling is that if Comey came up empty on Clinton's own server, there's really nothing else out there to find and this is just a bunch of Republican hot air and Nixonian dirty tricks.

Support has solidified rather than evaporated.

Likely there are a bunch of Kardashian obsessed fence sitters who might throw their votes away on Trump now. However, I don't think their number is high enough to affect the outcome.

Comey needs to be out on November 9.

Just did a couple of miles on my bike and settling in for junk food and football.

Signing off for the day.

I am more concerned then I was last Sunday. If it gets more Hillary people out, what's wrong with that ? Maybe it will have the opposite effect on the gop turnout. Nobody knows what the hell they are thinking anyways.

people would move their doom and gloom and anything else election related into GD2016, and that there could actually be discussion of issues here without dragging the election into it.

I remember going to bed thinking Gore was our next POTUS only to wake up to the news W "won." I will be convinced until the day I die Republicans somehow tampered with the voting machines in OH.

Trump is completely unelectable. He is a third-party candidate running on a major party ticket.

The GOP wrote this presidential election off many months ago.

..very few events in my life cause such a visceral reaction when I remember them.

Gotv

and I may have some on ignore until after the election.

I am highly suspicious of people who think the Putin leaks and the Comey NON-STORY will destroy HRC's overwhelming chances of being the next president of the United States.

Then watched the Panthers.

Since they seem able to (finally) win, I'm going to join my 90 year old mom at the pool with a book.

Doomsayers can have a field day. Lots of low count posters busy today I've noticed.

Cheers!

What if a meteor falls from the sky and hits you on the head!! Sending thoughts and prayers!

I hadn't paid attention to the news until late Friday and that's when I first heard of Comey's letter. My husband and I were surfing the various news channels trying to get an idea of what was really going on since Comey's letter was so vague. Despite googling, watching the news, etc. there was no further clarification, only speculation. This was what got me worried because I've lost faith in a lot of the American public to discern the truth for themselves versus letting the media decide what they should or shouldn't be worried about and how they should or shouldn't feel about something. (The media thinks this is a big deal so it must be!).

To calm myself down I went to fivethirtyeight.com and added up all the electoral votes in only those states that Hillary had an over 80% change of winning. Adding all of these up she has 280 electoral votes. Those 280 votes did not include: NV, OH, FL, NC, or IA.

Still pisses me off though, Comey should be fired.

This situation is concerning and if they can't talk here, then where do they go?

It sucks and there's really not much we can do about it at this point.

I say fire him on Nov 9th and indite him under the Hatch Act soon thereafter so those GrOPers know there will be a price to pay when they try this. Our history is one of, "oh well those sissy Dems won't do anything, what do we have to lose?" - and that needs to change.

I read a lot on here on DU and haven't seen a whole lot of "the sky is falling?" going on myself but I'm an optimist.

Sure Hillary has got this election in the bag but we want a landslide in the Presidential and down ballot races and we're ignoring reality to think this shit won't have at least some effect in that direction.

After this is over we need to have a serious strategy session on how to handle this type of ratfucking in the future.

as skittish and unbearable as they are. I wish their damn computers would blow up, and they couldn't replace them until after election day.

She is still going to win, maybe now after the exposure of GOP sabotage even more folks will show up to vote against Trump.

But women candidates must have at least a 99-percent chance of winning the presidency to be declared a shoo-in.

Enjoyed your post! just fantasizing to avoid gloom and doom. Voting from age 18 to now 70 (early ballot too). In that entire time I have correctly picked the winner all but ONCE. Not from media silliness, TV ratings, social media, just my need to know everything I should know to vote for the best candidate.

The one time I was wrong in my prediction? Gore vs.Bush.

The one positive result was the most important ever for me. So many people learned the value of and the importance of their one, single vote. And have behaved accordingly ever since. I learned to help people get to vote, challenge idiots and follow the rules.

my personal feeling is that it only took that once time to fix it and it is fixed.

I will count on that for this election also.

So, the hullabaloo has passed me by, a bit.

I just want to say one thing about the whole email kerfuffle:

If past is prologue, this witch hunt for Huma smacks of some extreme desperation. They usually wait until after the candidate is actually elected before starting to pick away at the new president's inner circle of advisers and assistants. Sounds like a concession to me.

I decided to start making a new quilt, while I wait (not so patiently) for someone to decide that the people of Missouri can finally be allowed to cast their ballots in this year's general election. I chose some lady colors for my new project...bright orange, pink, yellow, green and blue. I think it's gonna be looking very cheerful, to match my mood on election night!

on Comey's future with the FBI but as far as the election goes, no gloom & doom here. Comey may have a future on Fox news, I'm sure he would fit in very well there.

by being always hopped up on Xanax and other anti-depressants to get through their days.

I voted early last week. Yet I come on DU and see doom and gloom, divisiveness, "concerned" people with very low post counts, and other such nonsense that isn't very productive.

Enjoy life is great, as well as encouraging people to vote. This election needs to be over but we need to win in a big way. 1 week left

I feel good about Hillary's victory but not enough to let go of the possibility that Trump still has a difficult but reasonable chance. This is especially so since Florida is very much in contest.

I have already voted and will continue to encourage and assist family and friends to vote to support Hillary. It is not over until its over.

My head and heart say Clinton will win, but after suffering through the Bush years, I don't take anything for granted.

Complicit press equating this to Trump's fraud and hate speech all day like long.
It is maddening!

...reading any e-mail stories.

I am watching a sappy Hallmark Christmas movie about a handsome firefighter who adopts a stray cat and "gets the girl," in the end.

For me it was Friday night

An 80% probability means that on the average, one out of every five times this scenario is repeated it will have the nightmare result that any sensible American dreads. In other words, it's more likely than rolling a seven.

Even a 95% probability means once out of 20, and if we consider the middle of those two extremes, or 87.5%, that's once out of eight - the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads three times in a row.

But in no event does it mean that "it isn't going to happen."

Any time he's in the news, I have to laugh.

So, I hope it cheers you up, Doc.

There is a soupcon of I told you so in most of these hair on fire posts...so ridiculous.

I can't wait for this to be over.

Go vote etc., but don't sweat it, enjoy it.

-Cleaned my house

-Cleaned my car

-Played with my cats

-Watched a lecture on nutritional medicine

-Played video games (civilization V if you are wondering)

-Cleaned up a stereo system from the 1960's that someone was just throwing out in my neighborhood (why?! throw that out )

-Went to a few thrift stores

-Went grocery shopping

-Ran 5 miles

-Went on a late afternoon drive

-Made dinner (based on said nutritional lecture)

-Watched some SNL videos on youtube from the last year or two that I have never seen


And as I check in on the news, polls, 538, betting markets, etc. it appears that I missed absolutely nothing. The way I see it, if I sit around in fear then the Donald Trumps of the world win. They thrive on fear and anxiety. Living life and doing what you love, with the people that you love is stronger than any d-bag, date rapist republican.

Well, I'm going to watch a few shows, shower up, and then get a good night's sleep. Nite all, don't stay up too late
