Is it weird that the end of Hutch's endless doomposting ranks in my top 3 reasons why I will be delighted to have this election in our collective rearview mirror?

Well well well…

You are letting down the board. It’s not just about your convenience!

Buddy, you've seemed like you're in an election depression cycle for months.

[hutch]

Oh ok

Well I don’t want to be argumentative…..

State orders halt to mailings that left voters ‘intimidated, shocked and ill-at-ease’

Trump is coming to Salem, Virginia!!! Who came up with this, NKOTB??

he has cancelled events in PA in favor of newly-announced events in VA, NM and some other state i can't recall at the moment... pundits on the street (and by street i mean twitter) posit it's because internal polling shows that trump has lost PA, in part due to the puerto rican vote.  TBD, but dropping rallies in a key swing state is an interesting move.

What if their internals say they've won PA and now they're going for the longer shots?

Trump lagging in early vote with seniors in Pennsylvania, a red flag for GOP

Donald Trump is lagging Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania early voting with a critical and once-reliably Republican constituency: seniors.

It’s a warning sign for the former president that reflects early vote data and polling across the battlegrounds, after Republicans won the senior vote in each of the last five presidential elections.

In Pennsylvania, where voters over the age of 65 have cast nearly half of the early ballots, registered Democrats account for about 58 percent of votes cast by seniors, compared to 35 percent for Republicans. That’s despite both parties having roughly equal numbers of registered voters aged 65 and older.

and based on anecdotal evidence, there are more Rs voting D than there are Ds voting R, further reinforcing the D's advantage.

Where are we celebrating Tuesday? I might stay home with my family.

I have a tentative practice with new bandmates and unless "something wild" happens in the city, my wife is working late.
Should I cancel practice? I mean besides for the reason that bands are passe.

Well I don’t want to be argumentative…..

Good for you and your mental health, man. I have been very "who knows and anyone who says they know who will win is talking out of their ass" for months but I'm oddly confident over the last week.

[grateful]

I felt much better after I early voted. I know that makes zero difference to the result, but it did make me feel better.
