Federal agents arrest 'several' people near Verrazano Bridge in possible connection to Chelsea bombi

Source: New York Daily News

Federal agents nabbed "several individuals" late Sunday in a possible connection to the Chelsea bombing that wounded at least 29 people, officials said.

An Instagram account for New York State Sen. Marty Golden, citing the NYPD, said the FBI made arrests “with a possible connection to the bombing” on the Belt Parkway near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in Brooklyn at around 9:30 p.m.

A phone call to Golden was not immediately returned.

Interesting New Florida Poll Out Tomorrow Morning

NyTimes bought voter rolls from a vendor and are using the names from the lists as candidates for polling.

This is how the pro's do their internal polling.

Downside is, it was performed over last week so there could be a Sick Hillary effect.

Tumblr Bullshit: bomber claim?

This is likely just typical tumblr bullshit, but some wackadoo on tumblr is claiming responsiblity.


Seems like an obvious troll but authorities are investigating it.

An experiment in manipulating online media.

#Pastorbashing

Can we make it trend on twitter? So that "people are talking" about it?

anyone game?

Stop with the "CNN didn't poll anyone under 50"

They do not report data for subgroups with margins of error above a certain threshold.

If I were Powell I'd endorse HRC immediately

He has a lot of shit talking to make up for.

He usually waits until later in the cycle to have more impact but hard to believe he could more impactful than right now.

Just my thoughts.

Average of the national polls this week (thus far)

So far looks a lot like last week:

NBC/SurveyMonkey NEW! Clinton +4
UPI/CVOTER NEW! Trump +3
Morning Consult Clinton +1
ABC/Post Clinton +8

Average is 5, median is 2.5 for Clinton

However, two of these (ABC, Morning Whatever) are prior to the stupidfest this weekend.

UPI has been more pro-Trump than other polls, and has had him leading a few times already. Very sensitive to pro-Trump data.

My own model estimates that we should see a national spread between Clinton and
Trump of ~ 3.8 for Clinton.
