Just saw Michael Moores new film

Where do we invade next?
Loved it. But, I always love his movies.
Democrats should def see it.
So should Repubs. But, of course, they won't.

I wish Keith Olbermann was back doing politics.

I realize that he's been fired many times because of his temper.
But, he is an outstanding writer.
I would love to see him back on tv doing political commentary.

I can't see it happening on MSNBC, though.
Joe Scarborough reportedly hates him and has told the network he would quit if they re-hired Keith.

Will we have Exit Poll results around 5pm tomorrow?

I know this used to be the case.
The networks used to get a batch they would release about 5pm.
Not actual vote tallies, but answers to questions that gave out hints what might happen.
Wonder if we will get those tomorrow.

Advice to Bernie Staff/Surrogates: Pronounce Neh-vah-duh Correctly.

It is NOT pronounced Neh-vaw-duh. It is pronounced Neh-VAH-duh.
People from that state notice this.

Say VAH.
Don't say VAW.

Why is Ann Selzer such a good pollster?

The Des Moinez Register comes out tomorrow with the final poll before Monday's caucus.
This poll generally does the best job at picking the winners and the margins.
Why is Ann so good at this?
Here is a good (long) story about her. Yes, it's from 538. But, no, Nate didn't write it.

Would like to see Bernie have a shorter answer on What is Democratic Socialism

I think this site gives a pretty good concise description.

When do you think MOM drops and endorses?

I think MOM will drop out the day after Iowa?
I don't think he will endorse either Bernie or Hillary.

Also, I think Carson drops after Iowa and endorses Cruz.

Agree? Disagree?

I need to contact a Sanders campaign staffer.

I would like to pass along an idea.
But, I don't know how to contact a staff member.
Anybody have a good email address (rather this go to a paid staffer not a volunteer).
