45-40 is good, but the distribution could still mean an EC loss.
Very unlikely outside of a 1-2% popular vote margin.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Last Sunday I saw a dude with one of those ugly Trump hats.  I imagine it will be a hot item among hipsters once Trump is out of the race.

Jim Webb to the rescue!

We'll be lucky if he's still in the race by the time I get to caucus. Still, anything could happen.

I figured he'd get more traction as I thought he was more popular with the Dems.

Is Webb actually in the race, or are people just fantasizing about him being in the race?

Does it matter?

Good question. I wasn't sure if he was in but I've seen a couple of polls with him in them, so I figured he might be in like O'Malley who also seems nearly invisible.

Wait there are more than two Democratic candidates? I don't buy it.

I like most of what I read, am I missing something? Could get behind this fellow.
He's actually probably the best candidate in either party.  Kept his cool as a marine in combat and won the Navy Cross (which basically means he was nominated for The Medal and didn't make the cut).  Served as Secretary of the Navy and resigned on a matter of principal.  Wrote a bestseller and a number of other books.  Quite intellectual, but calls himself a redneck.  Very centrist (both the Republicans and democrats wooed him to run for office on their tickets; he's a Democrat, but a Blue Dog Democrat).  Accomplished what he wanted in the Senate (mostly veterans issues) and declined to run again, despite almost sure re-election.  Despised GW Bush, and doesn't care much for Obama. 

In other words, he is the kind of guy Raz would hate, and so the kind of guy I like.  He and Jim Harbaugh would get along great.

He doesn't sound like the kind of person who should in the real world, be president then. Principles? WTF?

That's true if you don't believe in principles. Principles are for suckers, right?
