Posted by: Arizona Secretary of State Kattie Hobbs at November 09, 2022 07:29 PM (C1Zwz) Supply chain isn't going to improve any time soon. Especially with so many idiots roaming the streets. I was trying to get quotes for new windows. Before, they were beating down the doors trying to give me quotes. Now, they don't want anything to do with custom windows, and say "maybe" 6-8 months if I'm lucky. Apparently only 2 places in the USA make glass, and they're years behind. Awesome. But, I'll probably be looking for plywood instead of glass soon enough. Posted by: clutch cargo - Now fortified with CPM-S90V at November 09, 2022 07:32 PM (zB/T/) 10

Stupid Texas Parks & Wildlife. Asked them on Facebook about why muzzleloader season was at the ass end of deer season. They said it was to extend deer season. I get that, but why at the ass end of general rifle season?
Most states do Archery, Muzzle Loader, then general rifle season in that order due to equipment limitations. That's like extending dove season by a week, but only allowing Improved Cylinder shotguns that last week. You ain't hitting late season dove with an IC shotgun and you ain't getting near late season skittish deer with a smoke pole. I can slap a deer across the pasture at 500 yds with a .308. I'm not getting near a 500 yd deer with a muzzleloader. Posted by: rickb223 at November 09, 2022 07:33 PM (wp3f9) 13

I came here to get away from that Dem bastion, which has gone even more blue since I moved away in the 90s. One of my cousins and his wife moved from CA to AZ a few years back. They are reliably conservative and were happy to get away from there to start their family.

Life goes on.
We took Diana and Rosalind to their first training class today. It's an opportunity for them to see other dogs, walk on a leash, become accustomed to being put in a show stack and be examined by a stranger. The girls did very, very well. They were curious, accepting of having their feet placed, stood still while they were gone over and started to learn how to move alongside Her Majesty. A successful experience.

Posted by: REDACTED at November 09, 2022 07:58 PM (us2H3) This blows my mind. This area is NOT soft toward Democrats, and for this race to be this close, even if she pulls it off, is truly a mark of how the steal works. A state like this, they can cull votes from wherever they want, putting mail-in ballots in the boxes, for every stiff in a nursing home, or whatever else they do. There's no way Boebert comes even close to losing, if the only people voting are sentient adults who show up on election day. Posted by: BurtTC at November 09, 2022 08:02 PM (NWBBy) 120

Drawing a lot of new information. Conclusion that is supported by data is that the bulk of the results are not because of fraud. Fraud is used when possible, but it does not fully explain a number of races, such as Boebert and especially Oz.
I'm going to explain it in detail on the next podcast. Also looking like this was a good election for us, with some missed opportunities. But a lot of things are being missed such as massive school board wins, Ohio supreme court wins, etc. Need to see how AZ and NV turn out first, but next week we could be looking back and wondering why we were freaking out.

Posted by: Pillage Idiot You're not wrong. The "Flynn Effect," where the IQ scale needed to be recalibrated upwards so that 100 stayed the average, ended somewhere between the mid-90s and mid-00s.

Posted by: April--dash my lace wigs! at November 09, 2022 08:11 PM (OX9vb) It's possible to be grateful for the things Trump did while president while recognizing that his continued presence in politics has become counter-productive. The bottom line is: many voters, voters we need to win, can't stand or are weary of Trump and will never vote for him. I'm not talking about die-hard Dems either.

One thing, be aware that muzzle loaders come in two flavors--the older style with the accenuated stock drop and the new modern style with a straight stock. The older style derived from flintlocks which had a spitting primer pan full of lit blackpowder. You cannot shoot those with the modern technique of head down so the stock is designed for a person to be almost vertical and the head is erect and up rather than leaning into the sights and has to be shouldered a bit differently than modern rifle stocks. English stalking shotguns have a similar drop and are shot similarly. A lot of replica percussion types and even old antique centerfire of the 19th century followed that pattern which is ok in pistol cartridges but ouchie in high powered centerfire rifles.
The new ones are easier to shoot if allowed and handle recoil and modern sights better and are basically handled similarly to centerfire rifles. Posted by: whig at November 09, 2022 08:34 PM (CXr4y) 235

Dear me. Our family lived next door to a family with 12 kids (10 boys, 2 girls) when I was growing up. 15 years ago, one of the girls died of brain cancer. Kept in shape, was a non-smoker. One of the boys died in his late 50's of Wuflu - no comorbiditie. Another of the boys just died of a heart attack.
Their parents both lived into their 90's. Dad chewed tobacco and drank boatloads of beer. Mom was a chain smoker. They didn't exercise, didn't eat healthy and they went on forever. 3 of their kids didn't make it out of their 50's. I guess there's a limit to relying on "good genes," but there's also a limit to thinking healthy living is going to extend your life.

The Red Wave really did hit in Florida, though. It was big, it was beautiful, and the sheer level of destruction visited on the Democrats statewide is nothing short of shocking.
US House reps? GOP has 70% of them. State senate? Also over 70% now. State house? Same, they're over 70%. DeSantis's victory over Crist is the best margin of victory the Republicans have had. So - and this is where I was yesterday night - I know we've done a lot to clean up Florida's votes. And what I saw at the local precinct level and local US House Race matched up very well with the last polls reported nationwide in terms of voter, well, everything. Pinellas County is the most densely populated county in the state, very urban, and also pretty purple. Luna was polling in a slight point or two lead, and ended up winning by 8.

I was expecting a coast to coast annihilation on that basis - if Pinellas is electing candidates that openly boast of being a 'pro-life extremist' - Luna's own words, shown approximately ten billion times by her opponent - and made damn sure everyone knew she stood behind Trump (along with DeSantis, but let's concentrate on Trump here)... and then won convincingly in a very purple area, I figured we had it in the bag.

The old style stocks led also to flinching just like Matchlocks if you tried a modern stock on them.

Is the level of fraud in the rest of the country just that huge?
Is the sorting of red and blue voters moving around that far advanced in the country? Are Florida Man and Florida Woman just that different from the rest of the nation? What the fuck happened? Posted by: Locarno --------------------- Dave is going to give an after action report. But, in a nutshell, abortion in blue states limited GOP gains by unmarried women voting against the GOP. Yutes broke 70 to 30 or close to it from Team Blue. Dems turned out their voters. GOP campaigns did virtually nothing to tell prospective voters what they would do in office so it allowed swing voters to focus on the Dem message of Orange Man Bad and Abortion because the GOP said nada. Three, the GOP has far too many corporate schmucks that believe their bullshit and want the approval of their leftist social classes that are their workmates and spouses in some cases. Four, GOP has morons in the bad sense that run campaigns for their own benefit and that of the party and not for the candidate. Five, there was a preorganized Dump Trump campaign that hit even yesterday. Still going on today with PJ Media. Tiresome. Posted by: whig at November 09, 2022 08:48 PM (CXr4y) 275

Other GOPers like DeSantis, Youngkin, Noem, even Abbott, etc. are disciplined, careful with words, but come off as calculating and derivative and they often triangulate or use stunts as opposed to policy changes.

Have you seen FL10 results. Some 26 YO "slacktavist" ( as sven says) got over 2 million out-of-state money and won against a MAGA retired military guy. They have elected another AOC.

"Dave is going to give an after action report. But, in a nutshell, abortion in blue states limited GOP gains by unmarried women voting against the GOP. Yutes broke 70 to 30 or close to it from Team Blue. Dems turned out their voters. GOP campaigns did virtually nothing to tell prospective voters what they would do in office so it allowed swing voters to focus on the Dem message of Orange Man Bad and Abortion because the GOP said nada. Three, the GOP has far too many corporate schmucks that believe their bullshit and want the approval of their leftist social classes that are their workmates and spouses in some cases. Four, GOP has morons in the bad sense that run campaigns for their own benefit and that of the party and not for the candidate. Five, there was a preorganized Dump Trump campaign that hit even yesterday."

From what I understand, they used the Biden strategy with Fetterman - basically kept him hidden and limited his appearances until the debate. Of course, the media played along. I don't know what Oz's ground game was. I recall he was criticized for going off to Europe on vacation during the campaign. Don't know if that was a fair criticism or not. Since people saw him as an outsider, he needed to campaign hard all over the state. Did he? I'm asking PA residents. Posted by: Donna&&&&&&&&V at November 09, 2022 09:21 PM (HabA/) 400

Here's something I haven't heard much about.
Dave - maybe you can chime in here with thoughts. After 2020, where many people felt the election fraud was rampant, is it possible that many conservatives have thrown in the towel? Many of us here said the same thing. What's the point of voting if they are going to cheat? Did we lose voters to the silent protest? Posted by: AlaBAMA at November 09, 2022 09:22 PM (6VKyY) 403
Voter turnout in my N. Indiana county WAS A MISERABLE 43%. 10% less than 4 years ago. I did lose my race to the 3-term, entrenched incumbent. But did show with 30% of the votes.

Rush Limbaugh used to tell the story of his first meet ups in NYC where rich Republicans would take him aside and ask him to tone down the social stuff (mainly abortion) because their wives don't like it.
Posted by: Bertram Cabot, Jr. ------------------ Many wealthy look at it like Martha Sanger as a way to keep the deplorables from breeding. Also to eliminate any indiscretion that they have from affairs with the poolboy or their daughters might have by poor choices in boyfriends. Reagan was the first GOP president to actually give much time to the right to life movement but GHWB and Ford had wives that were adamant abortion supporters. I suspect GWB was in that category as well. Posted by: whig at November 09, 2022 09:22 PM (CXr4y) 406

Florida cleaned up its election laws to prevent the sort of shenanigans that made 2000 so memorable. Gee, amazing what legislation to prevent fraud and abuse does to get an honest election that reflects the will of the people. It also helped this year that DeSantis and the Florida state assembly Republicans delivered on what they pledged, and DeSantis stood tall in the face of Wuhan Flu threats from the People's Democratic White House.

Posted by: Donna&&&&&&&&V Not unfair, writing that one day after the election when the PA GoPe had a poor showing indicates little thought to what might have caused dysfunction in the Pa GoPe or candidates. It is speculative in nature. For example, the fact that the eastern snobs of the GOP Mainline did not like Mastriano and had the RGA cut him off from funding. The fact that Oz received little support from the PA GOP and so on. Why was the polling bad in this state, who got it right or wrong. Blaming it on Trump without mathematical analysis showing voters heard it, processed it, etc. is ridiculous. Even more so since the Pa Dems had massive absentee ballot drops from as early as September where whatever Trump said last Saturday could NOT have affected Election Day voting. Plus, how many votes did Trump gain for his party by showing up. Most election coverage by reporters, and Saleno is one of the better ones btw, is abysmal and reflects interest in focusing on good guys and bad guys rather than dry analytics or narratives.

381 So these drop boxes in AZ are picked up from various counties in AZ or what?
Posted by: Jen the original at November 09, 2022 09:06 PM (0kICs) Ummmmm...Yes. I pick them up, put them in the trunk and deliver to the local DNC....err....elections office. ========= Not to keep beating my home state drum, but Ohio fixed that early voting drop box trick. This year, as ordered by the Ohio Secretary of State, ALL mail in ballots were sent to Columbus for processing, NOT to the local county offices. The ballots were there processed under the watchful eye of officials to prevent shenanigans. That's how it's done, that's how it should be done everywhere.

If Salena Zito wrote that, it's an unfair criticism, since she was an early backer of Trump in 2016 and a pretty strong supporter. She understood his appeal in 2016 and wrote about it a lot.
Posted by: Donna&&&&&&&&V at November 09, 2022 09:23 PM (HabA/) She did! And was hounded by NeverTrump people for her reporting. That's why it was surprising to see her voice amid the tsunami of "Trump's done!" pieces today. It really feels like they were primed and ready to dump.

"They are dragging it out because that effectively will end with Lake as governor. There will be real support to end a lot of the crap that Maricopa has been doing despite being run supposedly by the GOP. All the McCain minions need to have their ass run out of the state on a rail." Posted by: whig
And they want to deny any Trump winners any News Cycle Victory Lap. Everything coming out now is "all Trump people lost, we must end the Trump era, end MAGA, get back to GOPe and Dems". So after the election the news cycle is all about "MAGA is OVER" ... but MAGA won big, imo. Could have been better, but the cheaters did have all the money, all the media, all the DoJ/FBI ... etc. "We" still won, despite all the cheating.

Exactly. I remember when FL was much more blue. We bemoan the loss of formerly red states like CA, but FL has moved in the opposite direction and we need to know why.
---- It's Desantis and the GOPers in FL actually delivering on the things that come out of their pie-holes, but it's also the fact that hundreds of thousands of people who wanted FREEDOM un-assed states like NY and PA during the covid insanity and have thankfully remembered to vote like refugees and not missionaries.

I am sure the Lake campaign can more than enough election law violations at this point that if she becomes governor means that their careers in election board offices is over, and some could face criminal violations - hanging on to ballots and not counting them just improves the odds that they will be made to suffer. But, I guess they can't help themselves at this point. Posted by: Boswell at November 09, 2022 09:54 PM (+Cgut) 493

He was a political organizer for a time in California and he has some nuggets of wisdom even for today. (same famous sci fi writer btw). Use your list of supporters to basically create a political club such as the XYZ Civil Coalition for Education and then use his ideas as modified for the social media and cell phone era.
