What's up with the LA Times/USC GE poll, Clinton up by only 1%? nt

What a relief!

I just listened to Hillary's economic speech in Detroit on Youtube. It's so GOOD to hear talk about concrete policies!!!!! I feel like I've been drowning in a muck of "temperament" talk!

Maybe NPR is finally beginning to get it.

The lead in to All Things Considered today was a clip of Trump claiming that Obama and Clinton founded ISIS. Ari Shapiro's headline comment was words to this effect, "Donald Trump continues to make claims that are not true."

I call THAT objective reporting.

Is this all they have????

#IsThisAllTheyHave ?? If so, after FBI and FOIA searches, then it's a tribute to Hillary's integrity!!!

What are journalistic best practices?

1 - Does anyone know where this message came from? Is it really from the Clinton campaign?

2 - Do I read it correctly that the "scandalous" conversation was between an Obama staffer, wanting to help out an important Nigerian, and a person at the State Department that might have the needed info?

3 - If this message is what it seems, what went wrong that NPR interviewed a talking head and led him to conclude that the "scandal" illustrates the kind of access to power that ordinary people don't have? (That is, the e-mailer to the staffer, not the Nigerian to the oval office.) If this message is what it seems, I think NPR owes the public a retraction.

We're seeing why Hillary's decades of experience...

... dealing with ridiculous smears is working. She's right not to engage. It would take over the whole campaign. This week just shows how desperate the right is with their ridiculous, substanceless attacks about State Dept/Clinton Foundation collusion and Hillary's health. I wouldn't be surprised if the stupidity of their attacks isn't beginning to come clear to people who might have been inclined to believe them.

Who are the 4 to 5 senate candidates...

... we can most count on to take back the senate?

I expect this info has been posted before, but I don't recall.

Media justify anti-trump bias.

For me this argument against "bias" is like the argument that both pro and anti human-caused-climate-change should get equal coverage. That is nonesense, and I think asking the MSM to not pay attention to the moral extremes of Trump's candidacy is to ask them to not be part of our society.

What does the up arrow in the RealClearPolitics...

battleground states list mean?

Elizabeth Warren sticks it to Rachel Maddow yet again.

".@realDonaldTrump makes death threats because he's a pathetic coward who can’t handle the fact that he’s losing to a girl."

Remember when Maddow dissed Bill Clinton because he said "I met a girl?" Then Warren a day or two later, in an interview with Maddow, said she'd be the happiest girl alive if blah, blah (something about Trump.) She hasn't forgotten!
