1. It's looking good in NC!

2. My feeling is that NC will be OK

It won't be a landslide like Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama were, but I feel HRC will win by mid-double digits. 1) It has a large African-American vote and 2) HRC has already banked a lot of votes from early voting.

3. Count me, my boss, my boss's boss, and both their partners who held an early vote party for their...

circle of friends last Saturday (all Hillary supporters). Nearly everyone I've spoken with has either already voted in person, or by absentee ballot. With any luck, this race will be called early on Tuesday.

8. I have a theory about the young voter gap.

They want a grandfather figure who will give them what their parents won't or didn't.

10. Sadly young voters are irrelevant.

after spending 31 years encouraging college kids to register and vote, my very sad conclusion is that an insignificant minority will actually show up at the polls in November.

11. Yes you are right

The only difference was probably when they were still being drafted for Vietnam.

12. Yup - that was me.

Nothing like facing the very real likelihood that you will get shipped off to a senseless war against your wishes to help you develop a keen interest in politics and governance.

To be honest - I really wish young people were more committed to voting. Very sad.
