There would never have been a Tess story with Erin.
This. Not a chance.
I understand why Erin left--she had been on the show since she was 8 or 9 years old. She spent all of her teen years on the show. I'm sure she wanted a break. But it certainly hurt the character of Jessica immensely, and unfortunately, I feel like Erin has been forgotten in a way compared to other long time soap kids like Kristen or KMc on GH (of course, in a way, I would say that happened to Amber Tamblyn once she left GH, too).

People's praise of Megyn Kelly (as their praise of Ana Navarro) was definitely misplaced. Kelly sat on all this information until after the election, then tells all. I have no respect for them or those of their ilk.
I wish Ana hadn't revealed her vote for Hillary so late, and I have no doubt that a lot of her #NeverTrump status has to do with his merciless mocking of her former boss Jeb Bush, but she was loud and proud about her distaste for Trump pretty early on.

That just brings us Mike Pence. He's basically a character out of The Crucible.
He is the real danger, for sure.
Meanwhile, a letter about why white women suck (not me--this 27 year old blonde white woman voted for Hillary, and proudly):

I still have some respect for PBS (I have none for NPR or for cable or network news - well, CBS is OK, I guess), so I'm glad they haven't let me down. But so much of the media is just full of deluded, dangerous sycophants. They created Trump and he will make them pay.
Serious question--What's wrong with NPR?

My brother a traditional GOPer who lives in Mo is voting for Clinton and Kander. He says a lot of people like Kander that he knows. We'll see.
Yeah, Koster and Kander are getting a LOT of GOP support in MO. Koster--the Dem candidate for Governor--was even endorsed by the NRA, which was a HUGE blow for his Republican opponent, who had an infamous ad where he fired a machine gun.

Florida has been a tight race polling wise nothing changed there.
Frankly each time I hear you talk about all the failing democratic senate candidates slipping in the polls I have to go back to PEC(the site that is closest to most reliable - he did predict the presidential and senate races in 2008 and 2012 all correctly unlike Silver and the GOP primary this year) and I see both Bayh and Feingold exactly where they were 3 weeks ago at 6% and 7%. Feingold is not losing in Wisconsin even with the suppression efforts happening there nor will Bayh lose Indiana. Silver has Roy Blunt behind Landers now and frankly I don't buy that but Wang has put it closer at 2% now. And Rubio's lead in Fl has also dwindled.
Do you mean Kander?

Her staff clearly wrote that; Hillary always signs her tweets off with the letter "H".
Meanwhile, former Cruz staffer Amanda Carpenter chastises men in the GOP--including her former boss, Ted Cruz--for not denouncing Trump after his sexual assault comments were unearthed a few weeks ago:

Women are killing early voting in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina but heh, let's keep talking about why HRC is not winning by 50 points. Or lets not talk about the dems likely winning AZ, GA, and perhaps even Texas, or how Trump is going to lose badly in Utah likely to McMullin(he's now polling behind McMullin and Clinton). Frankly this election more than any other sickens me in how pockets of REAL voters keep getting ignored especially by male lefty's like Michael Moore.
Eh, MIchael Moore warned people awhile ago about the kind of power Trump might have in this election, to keep Dems from being TOO confident, pointing out how voters like ones in his home state of Michigan, for example, felt hurt enough by the economy to possibly still vote for Trump in droves.
...Of course, like I said, that was back in July. If he's still saying something like that now, after everything that has come out about him this month, then yeah, I'm going to side eye him a little more. (Even though obviously many Trumpsters/Trumpettes out there have only dug their heels in. Sigh.)
But the stats of women coming out to vote early warms my heart, for sure. I feel so good about that.

I think Indiana and NH will be close - Bayh is rusty and IN will likely go for Trump, and Ayotte is another media darling (unfortunately for her she's also a colossal dumbass). I could see Democrats either picking up 1 or 2 seats (as WI seems to have tightened I can't guess who will win) or getting 4-5. I hope it's the latter because otherwise Hillary won't get any of her judges through.
Meanwhile, a disturbing account (if I were you I wouldn't click on the link itself as National Review is just a pseudo-intellectual far right mouthpiece) of the sustained hate campaign against a conservative and his family because of opposition to Trump. A part of me thinks, "This is what they set up for years and now it's coming home to roost," but I feel like that's giving a free pass to this stuff. The attacks against his child are especially disgusting.

Indiana is not the typical red state. Them going for Trump is not a surprise but despite everything both Bayh and Feingold are popular. Bayh is ahead now by 6% and Feingold by about the same. Maybe they were ahead by more. Combine Indiana with the fact Pence is hated there. There are dump Pence signs all over the state. The new GOPer running isn't remotely tying himself to Pence but the prior Governor who was a GOPer but stayed away from the social aspect of the GOP. Ayotte is not going to win I don't care what kind of media darling she was. Her last couple of weeks have cost her. And Rubio now has been hammered with rallies and commericlals by his opponent and the president and the Miami Herald just endorsed his opponent. PEC has the dems chance of winning the senate now at 79% and I trust Sam Wang a heck of a lot more than Silver.
Mitch Daniels-the Governor of Indiana before Pence--is definitely less about social conservatism than Pence, at least publicly. And Bayh, for all of his faults, has both the loyalty dating back to his tenure in the Senate (Birch Bayh was--is, he's still alive!--a liberal lion in the tradition of his friend Ted Kennedy) and the fact that he was most likely Indiana's greatest Governor ever is definitely something in his favor. I was exhausted with him when he retired from the Senate in 2010, but he stepped in when Baron Hill stepped down, when he really didn't have to. I give him credit for that.
I really think states like Indiana and Missouri are an example of "wait and see"--Indiana, in particular, has been all over the place in the polls, some showing that Trump is leading with double digits, others showing results MUCH tighter than that; Pence embarrassing the state on a national level with that "religious freedom" (sure, Jan) law playing a heavy hand there. And hey, Hillary has finally put campaign resources in out there. We'll just have to see.

I find it funny that this year's airing of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown--the 50th anniversary airing, no less--is on right before the debate tonight. Talk about a study in contrast.
From a poll I read this morning, HRC is now up by 2 points in Texas.
I've always wondered how it's remained red all these years, given it's diverse populace. Same goes for a lot of the South (my home) - this region is more than just rednecks...
I've been thinking that. I know Texas has millions of Latinos and white voters who don't vote republican.
now as far as Missouri, the rural areas vote overwhelmingly republican.....but St. Louis, Kansas City & Jefferson City Vote overwhelmingly democratic.
AND both the MO Senate and Governor's races are VERY competitive--and right now, the Democrats have the edge.

When is the last time Texas has gone Democrat? There was discussion on CNN that a lot of latinos are voting for Hillary in Texas.....in their poll though they have Trump up by only 3%.
1964, for native Texan LBJ.

Hillary is also putting campaign resources into Indiana, along with Arizona and Missouri. Which doesn't shock me much; Mike Pence is an ass shart who has turned almost EVERYONE in Indiana outside of hardcore evangelicals against him. They didn't want him to be Governor again this year; they SURE AS HELL don't want him to be Vice (de facto) President.
It makes me crazy how little some of the despicable things he's done as Governor have been addressed since he joined the ticket with Trump. Even if his path to the presidency is nonexistent now, that [!@#$%^&*] MATTERS.
The lead contaminated soil in poorer neighborhoods in Indiana is every bit as awful as the lead contaminated water in Flint but you wouldn't know this judging by how little press it gets. I know a VP isn't running for President but Pence has gotten the least amount of scrutiny of any VP candidate that I can remember!
Not to mention that he was active in closing one of the only Planned Parenthood offices in Southeast Indiana--where I once lived and know several people--and which led to an ALARMING increase of HIV cases in Scott County in particular. And yet I don't think that's been brought up by the press in regards to Pence even once. Disgusting.
I mean, granted, there are plenty of OTHER terrible things he's done that HAVE been brought up, however briefly, but still.

You can smell the stench of this even from a promo.
I miss ABC's Yellow & Black Era. And Erin as Jessica.
Sorry, I'm an optimist.

You know that whole thing about Mormons despising/being disgusted by Trump? It looks like Elizabeth Smart is among them.

Regarding the Sarah & Gabrielle friendship above:
Now THAT is fascinating to me. That's clearly stuff of Gabby I haven't really seen as much of, because we KNOW how she felt about Megan for awhile, at least until after the latter and Max finally broke up. The scene in 1990 after Max is shot--where the two are holding vigil at his hospital bed--is really nice.

Thanks. I have been noticing a shift like you pointed out and I'm glad that it seems he's definitely not going to be elected. They've really been on top of the Alicia Machado and tax stuff here as well. I think they really tried for far too long to make him seems "normal" and like any other politician when he's really obviously a charlatan, crook, and racist/misogynist/sexist loser. I'm sad to still see women on twitter supporting him and claiming that he's just like Bill Clinton
.They've really been hammering away here that American expats still have time to vote and bringing up things like Democrats Abroad and absentee balloting. I had not idea these things even existed. I even saw an ad about voting at the train station aimed at American expats.
Also, who the !@#$%^&*] is Billy Bush? This is now the second time I've seen him in the international news and I'd literally never heard of him before that Ryan Lochte debacle. Is he a major person? And is he related to the other Bushes?
He is indeed related to THAT Bush family. Nice, huh?
John McCain has FINALLY withdrawn his support for Trump. His daughter Meghan at least had the sense to never endorse him.

The comments I read from some that he was singing over her make me laugh...um...there's a reason for that....
Seriously. That's one reason I've never been a huge fan of her music. I just can't with her voice most of the time. But that's just me.*
From what I've heard, though, Jamie Lynn has a good voice.
*I will admit to listening her version of "The Beat Goes On" from her first album a lot as a kid. I...made weird decisions as a 10 year old, I guess.

I really don't know what to think of this. I want to be excited, but it could be very, very bad. And I say this as someone who isn't exactly the biggest Britney Spears fan (of her music, anyway--I like her as a person):

FWIW, I was once told I looked like Jamie Lynn Spears. Thankfully, it was a compliment.
ETA: Britney and her team apparently want nothing to do with this movie.

Trump lies about everything. He even claimed that he told the RNC to have their convention in Ohio even though the site was selected long before he declared his candidacy. At this point, I think a cognitive exam is necessary because I suspect he's dealing with the onset of dementia. If he is, the stress of the next few months will only make it worse. Unfortunately, there's no way to force him to seek medical help.
That's a generous perspective. I think he's such a narcissist he thinks he can make reality what he wants it to be or at least convince the public that reality is what he says it is. Thank god, it looks like you're right and HRC is going to win, but I find it deeply disturbing that he's pulling the wool over so many people's eyes.
One very positive thing about HRC winning is that she's getting the last laugh on all of the people who tried to force her into a traditional first lady role years ago. Remember when she made that crack about not staying home and baking cookies? Not long after that she was basically forced to drop her maiden name. I think she even went on some morning show and baked cookies to mitigate the backlash, if I'm remembering right. I hope she says a little silent f*ck you to those people when she takes office. I give her lots of credit for staying the course and making it happen.
She actually first dropped her maiden name in 1982, when Bill ran for Governor of Arkansas again, after losing his reelection bid in 1980--she had been known publicly as Hillary Rodham up to that point. In a way, she actually gained it back later on, as she's officially Hillary Rodham Clinton in her governmental titles, even if most people just call her Hillary Clinton now.
Meanwhile, Anne Holton, her running mate Tim Kaine's wife, has ALWAYS been known by her maiden name in public*, both in Virginia and now nationwide. Oh, the irony!
*Granted, her father being a former Governor of Virginia himself might help her out in that case.

Taylor Swift fans are MAD! Apparently Britney was recently interviewed and asked if she'd rather sit with Katy Perry to Taylor Swift. Britney did a Mariah and said "I dont know her" in reference to Taylor. Taylor fans took that as shade and brought reciepts of a photo the two took in 2003 and 2008. Taylor fans can go suck it and Im on Britney's side. I can totally buy that Britney didnt remember Taylor Swift bc those photos were nearly a decade old and before Taylor blew up. How many people has Britney run into over the years. She's supposed to remember everyone?
http://www.mtv.com/news/2913207/britney-spears-doesnt-remember-taylor-swift-vmas-meeting/
Especially that first photo, BEFORE TAYLOR WAS EVEN FAMOUS. It was a meet and greet photo from one of Britney's concerts, and she was at the height of her career. Of course she wouldn't remember that.
The 2008 photo? Maybe, but Britney was just recovering from her breakdown, Taylor was more known to country music fans/young girls than the public at large back then (and only her first album was out then--her second album, which did considerably better, was a few months away), and it may have just been a case of two celebrities being asked to take a picture with each other, because why not?
I'm not a huge fan of Britney's music (I just can't get past her voice, more often than not--some can, I just can't), but I have no doubt that she's a kind person who wasn't trying to hurt anyone's feelings. That's just not her.
