In the season of the truly bizarre, Symantec reports today that an email is circulating which reads:

Subject: Clinton Deal ISIS Leader caught on Video Hillary clinton caught on video exchanging money with ISIS leader in the year 2013.

After watching the video clip you can then decide on who to vote.

Sentiment is not enough to choose who to vote.

Yes, the clickbait contains terrible grammar, capitalization, and all that. But for those who are stupid (or desperate) enough to actually believe that a video exists of the Secretary of State swapping a bag of cash with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and fervently open the attachment, their come to Jesus moment will be rewarded by Backdoor.Adwind, a Trojan that compromises a computer, leaving a back door that can be used to steal information and download additional threats, plus a couple of scripts intended to scan for firewall and antivirus software.

Symantec also reports that, unsurprisingly, 85% of the recipients are in the United States (the UK, Canada, and Mexico make up the rest of the geographic distribution).

Surely, future generations will look back upon this election as the biggest carnival act in history.

A Monmouth University poll conducted Aug. 12 - 15 shows Hillary Clinton leading by 9 points in Florida: 48% Clinton, 39% Trump, 6% Johnson and 1% Stein, with 5% undecided.

Hillary also wins 92% of Democrats, and 69% of Hispanic, black, and Asian voters. The favorable are underwater for both candidates, with Hillary at 36-50 (-14) and Trump at 33-54 (-21).

Also importantly, Hillary wins on both the questions of who best handles Economy/Jobs and Terrorism, narrowly leading by 3 points in both.

Rubio still leads Murphy, 48-43, which seems consistent with other polling.

Coming this far away from this conventions, this is great news. It’s also worth noting that Trump has not led a single Florida poll since July 10, and also that this was an LV poll. It goes without saying that there’s no road to victory for Donald Trump that doesn’t include Florida.

Continuing a growing wave of eye-popping polls, Atlanta Journal Constitution/SRBI has just released a poll taken between August 1-4, showing Clinton leading Trump 44 - 40 in GEORGIA. In the 4-way poll, including Johnson and Stein (note: Stein is not on the ballot...), Clinton leads +3, 41-38.

SRBI is rated A- by fivethirtyeight.

Some interesting takeaways from the crosstabs:

- 18-39 broke 41 Clinton, 27 Trump, 21 Johnson, and 4% Stein

- Clinton wins 89% of democrats, while Trump wins 79% of Republicans

- Johnson takes more away from republicans: he wins 3% of democrats and 9% of republicans. However, he also pulls more independents away from the Clinton vote than the Trump vote, since he narrows Clinton’s lead by 1%.

- Trump’s Black vote is even smaller than his hands: 2%

- Clinton wins under $50k with a wide lead (47-33), but loses $50-100k (34-43). $100k+ is 43-38 Clinton

In my opinion, Pennsylvania will be determinative of whether Trump has any path to victory (without Penn, I think 270 is hopeless for him). But Georgia is a tipping point, in my opinion. If Georgia turns blue, 2016 will be a landslide, with many down ballot implications.

Countdown begins for poll unskewing by Trump, including rigged election claims.

Ok, enough poll obsession for now. GOTV!!!

Trump Campaign totally botches Melania statement

(COMBO) This combination of file pictures created on July 19, 2016 shows Melania Trump (L), wife of presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, addressing delegates on the first day of the Republican National Convention on July 18, 2016 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 18, 2016 and Michelle Obama, wife of US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, greeting the audience at the Democratic National Convention 2008 at the Pepsi Center in Denver on August 25, 2008..Donald Trump faced an embarrassing plagiarism scandal on July 19, 2016 that tarnished his wife Melania's prime-time speech to a Republican National Convention already roiled by an opening day rank-and-file revolt. It was a rough start to the four-day buildup to Trump's presidential nomination, one designed for maximum media exposure for the Republican standard bearer and his supporters.. / AFP / ALEX WONG AND PAUL J. RICHARDS (Photo credit should read ALEX WONG,PAUL J. RICHARDS/AFP/Getty Images)

In an pathetic attempt to get past the gaffe of epic proportions, Trump’s campaign statement from Meredith McIver’s comes off as such obvious bullshit:

Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches,” she said said in the statement. “This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant.

I apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused.

Okay, so for just a moment, let's suspend reality and just take the Trump campaign statement as truth -- that Melania is a Michelle Obama fan and quoted the passages from Michelle's speech as an example, and that the inclusion into the primetime speech was an “innocent” error. I mean, really? Melania looking up and quoting Michelle Obama seems so implausible, but let's continue.

If this were true, why would Melania not notice that the words were Michelle Obama’s when she practiced the speech? I mean, if she liked and remembered the 2008 speech well enough to look it up and quote it in the first place, wouldn’t she remember that they were Michelle Obama’s words in the first place, when she saw them again?

The answer is obvious, of course. The speech was never meant to be biographical. It’s not about Melania, her family, her parents or her values. She looked at the speech — that someone else wrote — and thought, “this sounds good” and spent a whole lot of time practicing its delivery.

This is the entire Trump campaign: Covering up a ridiculous fiction with an unbelievable lie.

By the way, this made it onto primetime news in Canada yesterday night :)

BREAKING: RNC Spends $150,000 on Palin's clothes

What would we have said if Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama had taken $150,000 of donor money and spent it on clothes, hair and makeup?

The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

Expenditures include $49,425.74 at Sachs Fifth Avenue and $75,062.63 at Neiman Marcus.

Palin was asked yesterday whether she would support a constitutional amendment prohibiting the marriage of same-sex couples (Federal Marriage Amendment):

I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that's where we would go because I don't support gay marriage...

I do support that.

Now, I know that Palin's LGBT vote can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand, but the video worth watching. She is way far to the right, on this one.

Oh, remember what she said during the Katie Couric interview? On those big issues, like abortion, she was an advocate of States' rights, yes?

Video and transcript on the jump.

John McCain said last night:

Sen. Obama wants to set up health care bureaucracies, take over the health care of America through — as he said, his object is a single payer system.

If you like that, you’ll love Canada and England.

What McCain said was untrue, because Obama has never proposed a single payer system.

Hillary Clinton supporters, take note: John McCain just took a pot shot at the Canadian universal healthcare system.

How many of you would like a health care system that is free for low wage earners, free for seniors, $54 a month for the highest wage earners?

In a teaser to the NYT/CBS Poll being released later today, Barack Obama has a stunning lead over John McCain in voter perception of who is spending his time making it clear what he would do if elected, rather than attacking the other candidate:

Obama: 56%
McCain: 38%

That's an Obama +18% spread!

The breakdown is even more incredible. Nearly HALF of Republicans actually think that Obama is spending most of his time talking about real issues, rather than attacking John McCain!

UPDATE - Final Poll Numbers (thanks Shinigami for the full poll poll results):

With Leaners: O50 M44 (O+6)
Without Leaners: O48 M43 (O+5)

On 60 Minutes, John McCain decides to double down on Palin's statement that war with Russia is worth NATO membership.

McCain: Any nation this is a member of NATO - there's a clause that says an attack upon - on one has to be responded to.

Pelley: And you support NATO membership for Georgia?

McCain: I do. And I support it for Ukraine. And...

Pelley: But the Russian reaction to NATO membership for Georgia is likely to be pretty sharp they just invaded that country,

McCain: Regrettably, regrettably. [continued]

Hmmm. Nope, he splits and doubles down -- That's Georia and Ukraine! He then continues to try to bail himself out by saying that a "respond" does not necessarily mean "war".

Maybe Senator McCain should read the NATO Charter.

From this point, for the next 48 days, Team Obama now has a HUGE tactical advantage in terms of covering ground: John McCain is beginning to pay the price for selecting someone who overshadows him in star-power, yet can only read from a script.

The McCain Stump Team: McCain-Palin.

The Obama Stmp Team: Obama, Biden, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton. Plus Michelle Obama & Jill Biden.

Well, it looks like Google has joined the Vast Left Wing Liberal Media Conspiracy of Bloggers that the McCain campaign talks about.

Just Google, "John McCain Lies", and "Barack Obama Lies". The difference is stunning.

"Barack Obama Lies" yields results like: Obama skewers McCain as White House truth scrapped

"John McCain Lies" yields results like: McCain Lies His Head Off

I see a disturbing litany of comments about how Obama is too soft in going after McCain, how the new ads are not on par with the visceral and savage (and blatantly untrue) nature of McCain's latest campaign ads.

I say to you all, John McCain has traded the battle for the war. In exchange for a couple of weeks of daily tracking polls, McCain is now playing defense, telling everybody that he's not a liar. John McCain will lose the election, because he now has no choice but to spend the next 7 weeks defending his character.

I submit that the media has shifted permanently for the next two weeks. Why?

Not because John McCain is lying.
Not because John McCain may, or may not stop lying.
It's going to happen, because John McCain is trying to prove that the media is irrelevant.
