I'm wearing a pantsuit Tuesday, although I've already voted. Also, there's a "secret" FB group called Pantsuit Nation for Hillary supporters who want to post about it without stirring up family strife. If anyone's a FB friend and wants in, let me know. The posts are nice. Among other things, it's how I learned that 1980 Independent presidential candidate John Anderson is a) still alive and b) campaigning for HRC.

I still want to know how Princeton Consortium has HRC's odds at >99%, while 538 has them at 65%. I know that Nate Silver has kind of lost it, but that's such a HUGE difference. (And I'm going with Princeton Consortium.)

Hm, I could maybe approximate a white pantsuit with jeans and a blazer. I think all my actual suits are skirted.

I unfriended someone on FB this morning after she made a pro-Trump post followed by an anti-Hillary post saying that criminals would celebrate if she won. Bye bye.

The only white clothes I have are shirts, but I could do at least that. Plus Madam President on my nails!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The only suit I have is black and very late-seasons Scully.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I still want to know how Princeton Consortium has HRC's odds at >99%, while 538 has them at 65%. I know that Nate Silver has kind of lost it, but that's such a HUGE difference. (And I'm going with Princeton Consortium.)
PEC is probably a bit too dismissive of the possibility of a systemic polling error, but I'd still estimate we're quite a bit closer to his estimate than to 538's.
Which doesn't curb my anxiety about this election, because:
1. It should be a landslide. America needs Trump and his hate-based campaign to be buried in a landslide. I'm not a violent man, so I still prefer that to be a euphemism, but needs must.
2. The Senate needs to be a landslide. Otherwise, the Dems will just lose it again in two years' time.
3. The House, likewise, needs a seismic shift. (You know I care because I made sure the 'f' was in there before posting. YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA.)
And at present, I'm not sanguine that any of that will happen. Thus, anxiety.

Dana, I KNOW! I just about burst into hysterical laughter when she said you needed to do research.
