aren't those the two most populous areas though?

Has Miami-Dade been counted yet?

Miami Dade and Broward are probably among the most populous counties.

My point was that these different news outlets jump to broadcast results before they are sure. People were crying that Trump was leading in Florida but oops, now Hillary is now leading. The media does this stupid thing every Presidential election cycle for the past sixteen years and people absolutely lose their minds every single time. I'm going to wait until at least 9pm before I start to hit the panic button, if then.

Huh? AP and ABC News Projects IN will go to Hillary. Don't they mean ID will go for Trump? I just can't with these people. I'll pay more attention at 8pm EST when people have settled into their minds.

I voted earlier this afternoon (#imwithher) but I'm not going to tune into election coverage until the polls are closed on the East Coast (8-9 pm EST) because I'm not with allowing the media make me (more) crazy as I have quickly come to realize that the media revels in madness and mayhem. @Vee That video was just what I needed! Hilarious! I'm going to be e-mailing the link to all my friends.

Maybe Obama's popularity has something to do with Glenn Beck declaring that Obama has made him a better man? Could some of these people be trying to get their 'souls right' at the 11th Hour? What's the deal here??? GLENN BECK TRIES OUT DECENCY

My understanding was that Barbara disliked Sabrina because she was a constant reminder of Bob and Kim's perceived treachery toward Bob's estranged wife, Jennifer, Barbara's mother and Kim's sister. I wasn't watching back then (either I was a baby or not yet born) but in the 87 episodes I watched I remember Barbara asking Lisa at Fashions "What about my Mother?!" when Lisa explained that Bob and Kim felt that they had to do right by Sabrina because she was their daughter. On another occasion, Barbara snapped at Sabrina when Sabrina tried to give Barbara a compliment on her design talent and asked whether Barbara's mother was an artist too and Barbara replied "No! My Mother was a nurse and I loved her very much!" and stormed off. Oh, the irony in Barbara naming her love child after her Mother! I don't think it had to do with Frannie at all, even though Frannie and Barbara were close. I don't remember seeing any scenes of Barbara confronting Sabrina. Maybe they're just missing from You Tube, but I haven't seen any. In fact, didn't Seth and Frannie's broken engagement coincide with Paul leaving Oakdale and staying with James at the Stewart Cabin? And James kept harrassing Barbara, who was forced to keep James' whereabouts a secret? Barbara was pretty preoccupied at that point. I remember recently seeing a scene where Barbara was at the hospital with a group of other people (maybe Lisa or Dusty and Lily? I don't remember who she was with) and they were talking about how sad Frannie and Seth's broken engagement was and even though Barbara seemed sympathetic, it struck me as odd that it hardly seemed to register with Barbara- my guess was that she was too very preoccupied with what was going on with Paul at that time. I agree with the poster who said that Tom was probably taking out his marital woes on Sabrina but when he first met her, he seemed mostly shocked and somewhat indifferent, oddly. Tom, even when portrayed by Gregg Marx, seemed to have a close bond with Frannie and I think Scott Holmes portrayed that bond also when he took over the role. He did seem especially concerned and sympathetic to Frannie, not just after he found out Sabrina's part in the whole affair but also from the time Sabrina arrived he seemed concerned about what it meant for Frannie's sense of identity. That just from what I saw. Also, I'm dubious about Julianne Moore's ever being fired. She was an Emmy award winning actress who was well liked by the rest of the cast and crew. If anything, I noticed that even during her last year, she seemed to want to cut back (perhaps to audition more?) on her workload. Perhaps by mutual agreement, she stopped playing Frannie and just portrayed Sabrina (Frannie was sent off to Boston to attend university), perhaps find the dual roles too much. And immediately after her departure from ATWT, you can see that she tried her hand at Prime Time TV, mainly TV movies and TV series for a few years before going full-throttle into movies. I can't speak to the revolving door of early 80s ATWT but toward mid-end of the 80s, I think the actors were being noticed for their work (back when soapstars could still make their way to Primetime and Movies) and had a lot of other options and wanted to explore them. Margaret Colin, does Silk Stalkings after leaving. You had Marissa Tomei who was on a TV series less than two years after leaving ATWTs then after A Different World gets into the movies, soon winning an Oscar. You have Finn Carter doing movies soon after leaving, Craig Bryce on Prime Time TV shows like The Facts Of Life and Murphy Brown. Larry Bryggman always went from stage, to indie films back to the show before leaving for good. Benjamin Hendrickson also did indie films while he was on ATWT (although going into the 90s, with lower ratings, it became harder for soap actors to make it big as the soap brand was not the star-making or ratings juggernaut it once had been). Lots of soap actors from ATWT were exploring other opportunities, building from their success on the show. Gregg Marx I think just wanted to leave because the work got to be too much and he wanted to sing (he was in a Secret commercial that oddly enough, used to run during the time that "Tom" was in DC. So while everyone was wonder why Tom wasn't in Oakdale, we'd see "Tom" snuggling some woman on a Secret deodorant commercial day after day.

Someone wrote that Nate Silver's model doesn't include early voting. Is this true? If that's true, that's crazy!!

Small batch manufacturing seems to be the only model of manufacturing that is achieving success at this time. Paul Krugman wrote a succinct piece that pretty much summarizes this election season and names, one by one, who exactly has been doing the 'rigging' in this election. How to Rig an Election

I don't know whether the overall media is still pushing the narrative but CBS This Morning tried it (unsuccessfully) and that effort was put down quickly.

Well, Charlie Rose was corrected by Robby Mook this morning who very succinctly told him that turnout by Blacks in Florida, in particular, has exceeded 2012 levels.

Wonder what the morning news magazine shows are going to focus their narrative on now? They've been spinning that lack of enthusiasm, low turnout story for so long, it seems.

Have seen seen 2 episodes of The Crown and Chewing Gum is on my list since I've been hearing about this series for almost a year!

And Comey is being absolutely D-R-A-G-G-E-D on Social media from all corners, right now!

This is touching when you look at all the faces. Born Before the 19th Amendment, We’re Electing a Woman President It is what we thought it was apparently. Waste of time, much? FBI director: new Hillary Clinton emails still do not show criminal wrongdoing

Regarding Austin Cytes, who raised a Republicans Against Trump sign during the Trump rally yesterday and his detainment after someone in the crowd yelled "gun!"

I am reading that as of Friday, 200,000 more Latinos participated in early voting than in 2012. Also, the turnout has been "explosive" in South and Central Florida where you have large numbers of Puerto Rican and other Latin American migrants in recent years. 24% of those early voters are first-time voters. That same article cited a "surge" of Mexican-American voters as of Friday in Clark County, Nevada, so much so that the early voting hours had to be extended to 10pm, which caused an unfounded claim by Republicans that Democrats only extended the hours to all voters to be bused in from other areas but the pictures of people already waiting in long lines says differently.

Nate Silver is in full Twitter meltdown, it seems. People are challenging him and he doesn't like it one bit. This election has taken its toll on a lot of people, so it seems. Folks are losin' it.

And keep in mind that tomorrow (Sunday) is Souls to the Polls day when many Black Churches have initiatives to get their congregants in the early voting states to go and vote.
