I think the collapse of air America also shows that there’s less of a market for crazy/angry/bitter talk radio on the left. Most of us would rather listen to the soothing vocal fry of Ira Glass, who takes the time to fuel our sense of social injustice with nuance and context.

I don’t know about Indiana staying red. Everybody in Indiana wanted to get rid of Pence, especially the local GOP. I think it could swing to the Dems if things keep downhill for Trump.

Another way to consider it is that your move would contribute a drop of your tint to that state
" “Speaking of tax returns, did you hear Donald Trump is refusing to release them because Donald Trump has donated to NAMBLA? "
Please note: it is completely untrue and deliberately planted online as a joke, but the denial is taking a life of its own.

Was she the one going off the rails on a crazy train?
Or am I thinking of someone else?

Well…for example, Illinois shows up solid blue, but that’s because the vast majority of the state lives in Chicago. Same with New York and you-know-where. Conversely, you’d be fine in Indianapolis, just not anywhere else in Indiana, and you probably don’t want to go to Colorado Springs in Colorado.

Al Franken was sensible, but spoiled it all by becoming senator. Stephanie Miller is still around and is fun to listen to without the bitterness. Most of the stations are run by right-wing conglomerates, so even if a show does well it gets replaced by sport’s talk.
Shhh – don’t tell anyone, but climate change has made our winters a lot milder. We’re already one plant hardiness grow zone warmer than the historical norm, and continuing the trajectory.

It would sure be nice if the polls covered all the candidates on the ballot.

Indiana is a pretty heavily unionized state, and the most populous counties are solidly Democratic. With Evan Bayh getting into the governor’s race, it could flip.
Is Obama the worst President in US history?
Is there anyone who has compared all the presidents who would actually answer yes?
I mean, anyone other than the reactionaries who are upset that he has stayed in the White House longer than William Henry Harrison.
Previous surveys rank him as slightly better than average.

Well, I was thinking of a dead guitarist so that’s probably of no help…

Trump knows that Gallup can easily forge a long form poll certificate.

Does he eat large quantities of carrots?
That might explain the skin tone…

The comment was a no-brainer, like predicting Trump will say something stupid and horrible tomorrow…

I’ve got money down that he’ll say or tweet something about how pharma-bro thinks she’s got Parkinson’s before sundown.

That’s because of the typical right-wing paranoid “my way or the highway” mindset. In their binary black and white world you are either with them or against them.
Right-wingers tend to react to change with more fear and apprehension and only feel safe when their guys are in control.
I grew up in a right-wing family and I saw this mindset firsthand. It’s scary thing to try to talk sense with them.
It also doesn’t help when they have hate jocks on radio and certain cable news outlets whipping them into a frenzy. I can only hope that they accept their coming big loss with a minimum of ranting and self-examination with out resorting to childish violent tantrums.
