New Book:
 | GOP | DEM |
| Democrat +15 | 210 | 225 |
Here is where Schumer and Jeffries get their orders….
According to Siena:
TEXAS
Siena/ReconMR
US Senate
🟥Ken Paxton 44%
🟦James Talarico 48%
🟥Abbott 48%
🟦Hinojosa 47%
October 5-8; 617 LV
For what its worth, Siena’s poll done with the NY Times was Talarico +6
PROGRAMMING NOTE: Due to the election getting closer and the difficulty keeping up with all the polls, Homer Hedgehog cartoons will be a bit more sparse between now and election day. I also will be gone several days over the next several weeks.

“Nor were there any men in the south who left the south to go north and join the Union army to fight against the south, and it is a lie to say there were pockets of the south that took up arms and remained loyal to the union throughout the ENTIRE Civil war and were never controlled militarily by the Confederacy. Nor were there any whites in the north thst were opposed to fighting the southern states, nor were there any whites in the north that were racists back before 1865.”

The apologists for the South love to pretend the Civil War was not about slavery, it was for “economic reasons”.
Zzzzzz…
Slaveowners wanted to keep slaves for economic reasons, yes.
Slavery was evil, the South wanted to keep slaves, the war was about the fact the Southern states did not want to abolish slavery and tried to break up the Union to preserve that right.
Nothing changes that. Not “black slave owners”. Not “there were slaves in the North”. Not some Southerners opposed slavery. Not some Northerners approved of slavery. Not some Southerners fought for the North. Not some Northerners fought for the South. Not the North committed atrocities during the war. Not that people in the South suffered the consequences of fighting a war on its own soil and of losing the war.
None of that even remotely suggests the Civil War was not about slavery, and none of it serves as any justification for slavery or its evilness.
No war is fought with approval of 100% of the population on either side.
But Walt knows that.

John Elway made the same mistake in 1982 in the game against Cal, where he panicked and called timeout too soon so that after Stanford kicked the ‘winning’ field goal they had to kick off due to several seconds still being on the clock.

I had to watch this play as the Internet talks of nothing else (besides the Commanders QB who let the clock run out instead of spiking the ball or throwing it out of bounds, watched that fiasco too)
I don’t think you can chase a runner down and look at the clock at the same time.
It was just bad luck for the Eagles that the runner didn’t get to take one more step before the tackle. If you look closely, the kicker slowed him down just a tad, otherwise he might have gone all the way.

The Commanders play was hilarious. The have 45 seconds, they can let it go down to like 10, spike the ball, kick the FG and win. Instead they run a passing play with 15 to go and even then, all the QB had to do was throw the ball out of bounds. Instead he lets himself be tackled while holding on to the ball. Then he is actually lying on the ground and not really trying to get up quickly when another player runs up and motions “spike it”.
But it was too late, probably too late anyway because there were receivers downfield that had to get back too.
Had it been the Broncos and I still cared if they won or lost, I would have killed myself.

As to the polling, its true I have NEVER seen so many examples where the Dem internal polling (which historically is the rosiest for the Dem candidate), was then outpaced by a university or media poll showing an even bigger lead for the Dem, often 4 to 8 points better. Its insane.
The way it works is the candidate’s pollster is polling constantly, so when they release an internal, they pick the two or three days in a row that gave them the highest mark. I have seen it where they even released an internal that had Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but not Tuesday, as a means of juicing their numbers. But the university and media polls often go much darker blue.
