if we get nevada, it will be hard for trumpf

On the presidential (and maybe applies to the U.S. Senate, too), some math still holds:

----Both candidates get 90 percent of base and split indies: Clinton by 4, 29,000 votes

----Both candidates get 90 percent of base, Trump wins indies by 10: Clinton by 2, 17,000 votes

----Both candidates get 90 percent of base, Trump wins indies by 20: Clinton by 3,000 votes

Note: Trump is not going to get 90 percent of the GOP base, and with all of those votes banked even before the Comey letter, it's almost impossible for him to win indies by 20. (Romney won indies by 7.) You see his challenge.

If Clinton holds her base here (data I have seen shows she is, and minority turnout is going up) and turnout patterns don't dramatically shift in the last two days of early voting, she can't lose Nevada. Solid lean Clinton right now.

What should this liberal white Clipper fan do tonight? Do I attend? with poll

I have been a Clipper fan since 1984. I have tickets tonight. Would like some advice as to whether I should attend or not. I knew Sterling was a jerk, but obviously not this bad. I am a fan of basketball and was attracted because of the underdog status, David (Clippers) vs Goliath (Lakers) etc. None of the Clipper fans I know ever cared or thought about Sterling. I LOVE the team this year. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Jamal Crawford are absolutely fun to watch.

Here is my dilemna. I have tickets tonight. I want to show my displeasure with Sterling and my support for the team. I have heard some players of other teams say that fans should attend. Others say we should not.

I am leaning towards attending and wearing black. The other possibility is to take the red shirts that will be given to all fans and wear them inside out like the team did. I have read that there is a possibility that some players may speak to fans before the game.

There are good arguments to attend and good arguments not to attend. What the Hell should I do?

I, like many of you, have been checking hourly for new polls, worrying, fretting, etc. However one of my passions is the NBA and its season started this week. I have been a Clipper fan for the 29 years they have been in LA. The vast majority of those years have been depressing. However, I was able to take my family to many games at low prices with great seats. My three adult kids, and even my wife, are now NBA fans! this year I actually think the Clippers have a chance to win the title. I had my son, who lives in Las Vegas, put $50 on them at 25-1 to win the title. They have a deep bench plus Blake and Chris Paul.

The 2012 13 year will be interesting.

Will the Miami Heat repeat? They have an excellent chance. Lebron in his prime with Ray Allen added.

Does Indiana or Brooklyn have enough to challenge in the east?

Can Pops get enough out of Tim Duncan for the Spurs to challenge in the West?

How will the Harden trade affect the Thunder's chances?

Is Steve Nash still a championship point guard? Can he lead the Lakers with no bench and a great starting lineup?

Please put your thoughts on your team's chances in the comments.

I am hoping if the Clips don't make it that Oklahoma City wins it all. I like the coach and the team. Durrant is a class act and the coach, Scott Brooks, is a local who I saw play in college at UC Irvine. I respect Popovich, but I'd like to see teams win that haven't won before. In the east, obviously Miami is the favorite, but watch out for Chicago if Rose gets back in decent health in time for the playoffs

Will Chicago be able to have Derrick Rose come back in time for the playoffs?

Does Boston have anything left in the tank?

.Saw this on politicalwirr. We are turning out sporadic voters!

http://www.tampabay.com/...

We are crushing them. By a 3-1 margin.

A Democratic operative sent the Tampa Bay Times some data on the early vote in Florida so far "to make the point that President Obama is crushing Mitt Romney when it comes to banking the votes of sporadic and infrequent voters before election day." "So far more than 3 million Floridians have cast a ballot by absentee, mail-in ballot or in-person early vote ballot. Democrats lead by more than 60,000 votes, but it's the unlikely voter numbers that jump out: Of the nearly 414,000 Floridians who did not vote in the last three general elections, Democrats have an advantage of more than 53,000 votes. Of the more than 482,000 Floridians who have only voted in one of the last three general elections, Democrats lead by more than 77,000 -- a total of more than 132,000."

this will fuck with the likely voter screens for quite a bit

I LOVE basketball...my team is the Clippers who have suffered through too much agony. This year was great, but I'm hoping that next year will be the Clippers year. For now I am interested in the current playoffs. Who will be in the NBA playoffs?

Will Pops keep the Spurs on top?
Will OKC's youth overcome the experience of the Spurs?
Do the Celtics have one more in them?
Can the Heat overcome Bosh's injury and bring King James a title?

At the beginning of the year I picked the Thunder to beat the Heat in the finals. Though I now think the Spurs might overcome them, I hope the Thunder take it all.

The Gingrich that stole xmas is now in the lead nationally according to a PPP poll that will be released today. WTF? this is amazing. What does it say that this fat, angry, ugly, thrice married, extremist windbag is now in the lead of the rethuglican field????

Can he win the gop nomation and hand an easy second term to Obama?
Wow!

this is the biggest pack of losers since the 1962 Mets, the 1973 76ers, or the LA Clippers of any year.

While I think Obama will win fairly easily, no matter what opponent he has, I'm actually pulling for Gingrich, so the country can see what a piece of shit the GOP has become.

Saw this poll and couldn't believe it!

The survey indicates that Obama holds a 45-40% margin over Romney in a hypothetical general election showdown, with Obama holding 44-38% advantage over Perry and a 45-38% advantage over Cain. All of Obama's margins are within the poll's sampling error

I think this shows how the GOP may lose this election in a landslide
Wow

I think Obama would have carried AZ in 2008 if it were not for McCain on the ballot.

this is an older poll, two weeks ago. BEFORE Romney said those in foreclosure should just be thrown to the wolves.

Can't say much more, but this is good news

I know it is WAY early, but I saw this posting on politicalwire this morning, and I thought i'd see what everyone else thinks

http://politicalwire.com/...

I really like Joe Biden, but I'm not sure he's the best candidate we could have for 2016. I was thinking of Brian Schweitzer, Tim Kaine, Andrew Cuomo, Hillary Clinton.

I'm voting for Brian Schweitzer. He comes from a red state, had populist appeal, is not afraid to tell the truth.

Any comments or add others?
