Still I don't get worked up about polls, still too far out to be of any real indicator. I will be more optimistic at the exit polls. Polls in themselves are inaccurate.

I heard most of the exit polls were cancelled.

Anyway, that five that the article you cited reports -- poof, gone tomorrow when they report likely voters.

Michelle Bachmann has a lesbian step-sister whom she has treated with kindness and respect her entire life -- except that as a politician she calls gays and lesbians depraved and vile.

It points out to me just how cynical many of these folks are. They are taking these positions knowing it will reach a certain constituency. Hate mongering when you don't even hate. That's worse somehow.

This ultra-religious scare-tactic video pissed me the F off the other day. It's horrible! Nothing but fear-mongering and propaganda. It made me feel physically ill when I watched it.

UN to monitor US election.

Hillary sounds like she means it when she said in an interview with Marie Claire that she will not be running in 2016, that she wants to just live her life. "Clinton said. . . . But I really want to just have my own time back. I want to just be my own person. I'm looking forward to that.'"

The last quote I read by Bill -- and this isn't old -- was that she just needs a rest, give her a rest, and then . . .

I think she means it. She has lost her ambition for the job, something which Bill will only do the day he dies.

It's kind of scary because there is not another Democrat out there powerful enough to just take the nomination and likely win the election. She could. I don't blame her though. It's a nasty business. I wish her luck and happiness.
