Dems +29,000 in Maine early voting

Through Wednesday

Democrats 79,875
Republicans 50,661

Very busy day again today (last day of early voting). Lines to vote in Portland and Bangor. In my town, Belfast, about 25% of voters have already cast their ballots. I don't know the partisan breakdown on the vote here, but it's a Democratic town.

Trump's attacks on Hillary sound familiar

Have we heard all this whining about secret speeches to Wall Street and yada yada before?

Bernie Flip Flops on Sandy Hook

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Sunday said Sandy Hook victims should be able to sue gun manufacturers for the 2012 elementary school shooting that killed 20 students and six adults, backtracking on previous comments.

“Of course they have a right to sue, anyone has a right to sue,” the Vermont senator said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Sanders in an interview with the New York Daily News last week initially said the Sandy Hook family members should not have the right to sue gun manufacturers for damages.

"No, I don't," he said, in response to a question from the editorial board.

Reading Bernie's interview answers about the banks

Is like finding out that Neil DeGrasse Tyson can't name all the planets.

Excuse me, Senator Sanders

But is that a fork sticking out of your ass?

New York must be looking mighty good for Hillary

First the Sanders spin team starts yammering about how they would consider 40% a win, and now social media is filling up with pre-emptive "we was robbed" posts claiming that the voter rolls in NY are being purged.

Looks like they know they are going to get crushed.

I realized why Bernie polls higher than Hillary in the GE polls

It's because the Hillary supporters tell the pollstesr that they will vote for Bernie if he's the nominee, but the Bernie supporters don't tell them they will vote for Hillary.

Cruz looks to be winning Maine caucus

It’s looking more and more like Republican Ted Cruz will win the Maine caucuses on Saturday, with unofficial reports saying he won at least five counties and Portland.

This is a bit of a surprise: Maine was expected to be a strong state for frontrunner Donald Trump, since he won New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont.

But according to early tallies, Cruz is sweeping the state: He has apparently won Hancock, Androscoggin, Lincoln, Waldo, and Kennebec counties, plus Portland — everywhere that we’ve seen reports so far.

However, he’s not running so strong that he’s guaranteed all of Maine’s 23 delegates. To do that, he’ll have to get more 50 percent of votes.

Sheshe's tribute thread for Cha was hidden

If this is the way people act on a message board, how will they act if their "revolution" achieves state power?
