I admit that I am disturbed by the inevitable. FiveThirtyEight's forecasts have Clinton's probability of winning eroding, if ever so slightly (from 90+% to 80+% in the "now cast" and from near 80% to just 73+% in the "polls-plus"). I don't think this augers a sea change, but I would prefer he lead to remain more pronounced.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
