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.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Right? It's been a while since I've been condescended to so completely.
But really, I wish FB wouldn't show me that kind of stuff, where a friend has interacted with it, because then I get incensed by random strangers, and it's not like those arguments will ever really accomplish anything. Except, apparently, give me the chance to be passive-aggressive in that Southern way.
