I'm living proof that a person can convince themselves of anything. – at Scotch Plains, NJ
Polls are just that.
Polls don't vote.
I'm not falling into the coma of what the polls think is reality. On Tuesday and hopefully shortly thereafter, we'll know.
I'm not singing "Happy Days Are Here Again" until every last race is certified.
NEW | @InsideElections made 45 House ratings changes this week, all in favor of Dems. You can explore more on our fancy new site but I'll go over the highlights here:
Projected range: D+20-30 seats
Democrats favored in 224 seats
Republicans favored in 198 seats
13 toss-ups.

Van Gogh painted this while living in an asylum.
Prisoners' Round, 1890.
Look at the man in the foreground. His face has often been compared to Van Gogh's.
Confinement, isolation, the feeling of being trapped...
Was he seeing himself in these men?

On this night in 1938, Orson Welles told America that Martians had landed in New Jersey. The next morning, the papers called it a fake that scared the nation. Legend says people in Grover's Mill even shot at their water tower. Would you have believed it?
I'm take a vacation trip out of the country this weekend. I'm both fortunate to be able to do that, and terrified to be away while the most consequential election in our lifetime is happening. I voted early and I hope to be watching from thousands of miles away.

“I’m boycotting this Democrat running for the House or Senate.”
Then you’re an idiot. I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot.
The primaries are over, folks. We’re in the general. You got two choices: imperfect and annoying Democrat or fascist Republican led by a pedophile.
You got a healthy democracy craving on a fascism budget, babe. I don’t care that you’re annoyed. I don’t care that you’re angry.
You got two choices. There is no third option.
If you’re not voting for the Democrat on the ballot, you’re enabling the fascist pedophiles. It’s that simple.

The White House says Trump is canceling in-person rallies in Kansas and Iowa so that he can cover more ground with tele-rallies, but he wouldn’t need to cover more ground if Republicans were winning.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

The past week has really been more than anyone who loves @StarTrek can stand.
