I couldn't begin to describe what's happening here.

Trump is an irritating character to watch and even more difficult to listen to. His stream-of-consciousness-sociopathic-blather grinds my nerves. But, I recently stumbled upon a wonderous way to watch the glib-faced-gibbon: Sassy Trump by Peter Serafinowicz. His series of videos playing upon Trump’s own words are deliciously funny and bring levity to this insane political season. Political therapy! The latest episode finds Trump tackling ISIS and it is 'What are you talking about, Willis?’ funny. If you have to listen to Trump, this is the way to do it. Remember: these are Trump’s own words!

You are welcome.

Polls are not created equal. Are we to pretend they are?

I know this has been discussed ad naseum, but in light of the erratic and confounding polls of late I'd like to discuss the following:

1. When reviewing the polls of the pollsters that only use robocalls (Gravis, Rasmussen, PPP), the race looks very tight. Can I still assume the findings are missing a disproportionate number of young and minority voters? No landlines...

2. When I look at the returns for the polling firms that do include live interviews (Marist, Quinnipac, NBC, CBS) they seem to make more "sense".

3. Lastly, it's Gallup time. Gallup is weighted heavily because of the size of the sample, etc. but it's accuracy is also taken into account in the weighting....and Gallup's accuracy has been horrible the last few cycles. So, why weight it so heavily?? http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/...

There is a lot of talk about dem/repub skewing. Why aren't people talking about landlines, cell phones and prepaid cell phones and the effect they're having on the polls? The Research is scant...was this issue already settled and I missed it?

Why I am voting for Barack Obama. Why I am not voting for Mitt Romney.

For the last year I have been under- and overwhelmed with millions of dollars worth of Republican commercials, ads, bumper stickers and leaflets highlighting all of the reasons why I should not vote for Barack Obama. Except for the one that reads simply, "Because He's Black". Limited Red State issue I suppose... But not once in the last year have I heard a concise, logical, rational argument from the Republicans about why I should vote for Mitt Romney. The points I took away from the painful-to-watch RNC were that they oppose gay rights, women's rights, and tolerate overt racism. Those issues are deal breakers for me and I'd NEVER support a party with those positions on their platform. Small government (well, small enough to deregulate business, but big enough to regulate my uterus) and family values (like, teaching your kids to hate people because they are different) were other nuggets I gleaned off the RNC. I've been reminded again and again about how bad President Obama is, how evil, how threatening (really?) and how bad he would be for the future of America. Ironically, I've heard very little about why anyone should vote for Mitt Romney. He's an elitist, he's an ass, he's out of touch. Sometimes its hard to focus at a three ring circus. In the midst of the chaos, its easy to forget why we are voting for Barack Obama.

I came across an article/blog entitled Voting FOR Barack Obama by Georges Ugeux today on Huffingtonpost.com that struck a nerve. He's states in plain language all of the reasons why he is voting, not for Romney, but FOR Barack Obama. He opens with:

We have completely lost track of the fact that we are electing the next president and not trying to define who the loser of the election will be. I thought I would try to define what the main reasons are to vote, as I will, FOR Barack Obama.

I couldn't stop reading. I had to write my very first diary about it. {{Keep reading!}} Read More
