Interesting that we have reached the stage in the race where FiveThirtyEight's polls-plus is now more bullish on Clinton than the polls-only (albeit, not by much). Conversely, the Senate campaign is closer in polls-plus, but Dems gained over the weekend from high 60's to low 70's. All in all, I like the Dems' position with less than 10 days to go.

I'm not close to forgiving Comey for his "October surprise" letter, but I think it will affect the election only marginally. The GOP voter suppression efforts (many legislative) are likely of more significance. Most encouraging is Darrell Issa's reelection struggle.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

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
