PZ's anti Carrier gofundme is rolling. It's fun and high jinks until the Professor goes all ableist.

Genuinely interested, though, do you think that 2% holds any water whatsoever. If you take today's RCP no toss-up map and flip Florida (which only has a 1.2% lead for Clinton and Trump has led some of the recent polls, including one from the NYT, by 4%), that's all it takes for Trump to win (withou...

If you still think Trump will pull a rabbit out of the hat, consider that Paddy Power just paid bets on Clinton to win. Thats a $1M bet on their part that Trump has no rabbit.

But if you take a look at the turnouts at the various Trump and Clinton rallies I think you'll see levels that are consistent with those poll results.

Probably not a true reflection of the debate but how much the public hate Clinton.

How many of those polls were random samples of likely/registered voters?
