He shouldn't have run as a Democrat then.  He should've stood behind what he truly believed in on a platform that he believed in, to represent a party that he believed in.

 

At least Nader ran on a different platform because he truly believed that he was not of either Democrat or Replublican party. At this point, I have more respect for Nader than for Bernie.

He came up 1.4 points short. he performed very well IMPO. ad now he has two months to blast Trump and link the republican candidate to him. 

Fox News is preparing to cut ties with its biggest star, Bill O’Reilly, according to people close to the situation. A final decision on Mr. O’Reilly’s fate could come as early as the next several days, the people said. Mr. O’Reilly, host of “The O’Reilly Factor,” has been ensnared in a sexual-harassment scandal related to previously undisclosed settlements he and Fox News paid to women who worked on or appeared on his program.

I love ya, Bernie, but...have a seat.

 

And I KNOW better than to get my hopes up, but man, it would be so sweet to see Bill O'Reilly gone from Fox News.  (Next on the hit list: Sean Hannity.)

From here on out I'm done watching election results in real time. When I started looking at Georgia's returns Ossoff had 60 percent. Now everybody better strap in because the right wing is about to deploy every underhanded tactic they can in this race. There were already voting machines stolen a few days ago. 

 

As for Bernie, I just hope he follows in the footsteps of Ron Paul into well deserved irrelevance.

I don't know if anyone has read about the new book on Clinton's campaign but the NYT has a recap of it

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/17/books/shattered-charts-hillary-clintons-course-into-the-iceberg.html?_r=0

 

"As described in “Shattered,” Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook — who centered the Clinton operation on data analytics (information about voters, given to him by number crunchers) as opposed to more old-fashioned methods of polling, knocking on doors and trying to persuade undecideds — made one strategic mistake after another, but was kept on by Clinton, despite her own misgivings."

 

I find this stmt interesting because Clinton was pretty much lauded for her ground game, or at least I thought she was, and the data analytic team was the same one Obama was praised for during his 2 campaigns.

I am not sure what anyone is taking credit for. Ossoff won almost 49% of the vote. In that district. He was polling around 45 the day before. I know people want every win but really Democrats need to temper a bit. Most were predicting he wasn't going to get over 50% yesterday.  As for the GOP, combined their percentage was 47% I believe.

 

 

So Chaffetz is not running for re-election. He's either going to try for Hatch's seat or Governor I'll bet.

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.

      Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience?

      That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

      Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
