I guess people are looking for something unfavorable then. Trump’s betting odds are about 59%; the highest they’ve been since Kamala entered the race. See you in a couple weeks, Pumpkin.

Do you realize it's illegal for U.S. citizens to place bets on polymarket?

Do you realize that it took a foreign entity dropping $30 million to move the odds?

Do you realize normal people are laughing at you for not understanding the topics you post?

There he is: POLL BOY to the rescue. You used to do this about every two hours or so. Now, it's dropped to a frequency of about every two weeks. Did something change? Hmmmm.


How about this poll? In her 21 minute "interview" with CBS (that's the portion that was edited and released by them, they refuse the rest), KH mentioned He Who Must Not be Re-Elected 42 times. That's once every 30 seconds by the new math. It's amazing that she had the time to get in all those references with all the policy detail she was providing. But don't worry, her values have never changed.

My top 1000 factors in deciding who to vote for
This is interesting.
1: character
Does this mean that the last time you voted for President was in 1980? I mean, that's the last time a candidate had an arguably above average character (and he was not a good president regardless of the person he has proven to be). One could very reasonably argue that anyone who gets one of the two party nominations has a character issue or they would not be in that position. It certainly applies to this election. More importantly, why do you see this as the number one issue for this office? We aren't talking about someone to serve on the church board of directors here.
2. Economy
3. Constitution

481. Party affiliation
Based on your running commentary about the issues, you may have included too many numbers here. Eliminating the first two or the last two would be far more accurate.
749. My neighbors cats opinion
Please clarify. Is that your neighbors' actual cat, or, is it someone in your neighbor's household who identifies as a cat?
822. Ouija board recommendation

Did not make the list:
Your post
Religion
That's as it should be. So you would be against all the anti-Semitism that has sprung up lately? More importantly, would you agree that it shouldn't be a factor and on anyone's list because it was already handled by number 3?

Preseason Rankings: AP vs Pomeroy

I keep up with the NET standings during the season, since that is what the committee uses. As a kid, I paid attention to AP or coaches polls, nowadays it always surprises me when people get a reaction from those polls one way or the other.
Can't argue with looking at NET. I do, too, at some point in the season. But I've been following Pomeroy for many years and like how he does things. To me, NET is basically a less-full-featured copy of Pomeroy. But it does have the important advantage of being used by the committee, as you pointed out. Unsurprisingly, they agree a lot.

Pomeroy is particularly user-friendly early on in that he gives us a measure that matches up pretty well with the quad ratings. We could figure out some of that ourselves, but he's done the work for us.

So, for example, at this too-early stage of the season, we can already see that we will face 6-7 A-rated (~Quad 1) contests before the new year (depending on our late-round foes in Maui). Duke faces 6. Wake 6. NC State 4. Clemson 3. Pitt 2.

I like having the extra data. I like seeing it change as the season plays out. It's part of the fun of being a fan. Other people don't care. That's fine. But why belittle the work product or people who like using it?

Doesn't really matter in terms of Pres unless it is specific to the 7 swing states.

So which is it, pooptard, does McDonald’s have "no record of Kamala Harris ever working for the company" or are they proud to hear she has "fond memories of working under the Arches"?

Another pointless tweet -- Over 1 million served.
Another demonstration of Noir's difficulty and sad, sad ability with reading comprehension. Or, have we actually been giving you too much credit and it's just a comprehension problem?

One is a candidate making a claim that literally can't be confirmed by anyone else (the company, the franchise owner, co-workers, etc.) and the media leaving the claim alone because it would hurt their anointed queen. The other is a very general statement by that company that assumes the truth of that candidate's claim and comments accordingly. "So,. which is it"? Both, you dumb ass.

I'm really sorry that you have such challenges. I'm also sorry that you get so easily offended by X now that it isn't regulated for you to only offer what your programmers deem you should think.

Stuff like this probably upsets you - after someone tells you it's not true, only parody.

It's being reported the Harris Campaign is pretty upset about the Trump McDonald's bit. They say at some time this week she will do either Five Guys or In n Out...

Bennett retires at UVA

Must be nice to already have a pay scale structure in place during this time! Slimy and Selfish (& puke) have always had an undercover GM who managed player payments so that person can now be recognized as a University employee! The rest of us have to figure these things out on the fly and think about hiring someone to manage this!
