A surprise takedown in NY-14, where there was no polling in the Ocasio-Cortez/Crowley race.  Is the shockwave also a bellwether?  We cheer women, young and old, rocking the Democratic primaries (70% of open seats going to women over men) and wonder why that’s not happening on the GOP side (30%). We’ve got Westworld, Scandinavia, anger, exhaustion, and days and days of the Red Frickin’ Hen. Primary...

Booze, Weed, and Porn All Up in the Polls! Margie is lonely on the road, but she’s got polls to keep her company! Especially polls about Michael Avenatti!

May the Force Live Long and Prosper We are way more anxious about the effect politics rather than personal relationships have  on our daily lives. In Trumplandia, we look at the numbers, not at the bars. You may be Trumpier than Trump, but then Trump tweets. Incumbents? Run like you’re 10 points down. If you offer “not sure” as an out, people take the out.  Everyone is sure about Star Trek vs. Sta...
