Thank you @janea4old for all the info on Stevie's statement and her new song. 

I think Buttigieg is probably done in the Cabinet after this year - I don't think he would be confirmed by the Senate if it goes into Republican hands. I have a feeling he will become a cable news pundit and maybe run for Congress in a blue state someday. Either that or if Harris wins, he might join her staff in some capacity.

This level of blatantly dishonest pandering at a time his party is on a witch hunt against gay parents just pisses me the [!@#$%^&*] off.

How can someone running for office be this stupid, even if he is a Republican....

Like so many in the comments to the video pointed out women over 50 can have daughters, granddaughters, friends, sisters etc that are under 50.

How some women in the audience can laugh at his remarks is mind-blowing, because I don't think they are laughing at his stupidity.

That's good news. I hope they will keep coming as the smaller moments are what led the GOP to where they are now in at many state houses.

Gallup doesn't do as much electoral polling now but did put this out, which mostly states the obvious about how many factors are helping Republicans this year. Not posting this to say the election is over, as it is very close if Trump isn't being undercounted again, but as a reminder of why this is such a tight race even with Trump being so wretched and so decayed from even four years ago.

More Politico articles, but I think they are worth reading (the latter is about Harris' struggles in PA but doesn't just go on about Josh Shapiro):

Gallup is entitled to their take. I don't agree with it or trust them because I know what Gallup has always been, or Politico which always roots for Republicans. Like some pollsters, I remain unconvinced this election will be that close. Of course I also didn't think 2020 would be that close and it was, but I did know 2012 wouldn't be when the media insisted otherwise. So I'm bound to be either definitely right or totally wrong! I can't lose!

Speaking of Gallup's slanted nonsense, Atlas Intel out of Brazil has parachuted in with another set of outlier and unusual Republican-leaning state polls, which appears to be their brand this cycle as they move towards becoming Rasmussen 2.0. They also insisted Herschel Walker would win by 4 points, so I'm not putting huge stock in them (or posting them). This is the season when the right starts pushing junk polls and outliers to try and skew perception, just like the last several cycles.

    • Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  
    • I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.  
    • Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.    
    • Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!
    • I'm sorry, truly I am, but this literally made me LOL. Tempting fate, much?

    • Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
    • I hated the swap-over; Clayton Norcross, to me, was far superior in the role of Thorne than Jeff Trachta ever was. And the recast left me disliking Thorne when he was the superior son to me. As for Teri Ann Linn, I feel like she got the raw deal. Kristen was very clear as a forefronting character, especially in her rivalry with Stephanie, and it feels like she was dropped off for Felicia, and they never returned it. Not to mention the subpar recast with Tracy Melchior in 2001. Someone like Brenda Epperson (ex-Ashley, Y&R) would've been more suited for that role.
    • I just remember when Leo was marrying Craig (?), Greg Rikaart stated a line and made direct eye-contact with Melissa Reeves, and when the camera cut to her, she looked away.

       Rikaart had a mission that day, and he succeeded.
