This is the same guy that keeps on insisting that Florida is somehow in play for some reason. I'll believe that when both the marijuana and abortion amendments actually pass and go into effect, (and I don't really see either ever seeing the light of day, especially the abortion amendment since Ron DeSantis is more than likely going to block it and prevent it from ever fully going into effect just to be utterly petty and to screw over the voters that actually want the ban to be overturned). I would love to be pleasantly surprised because I actually think the six week ban in Florida is asinine, stupid and dangerous but like I said, I'm not really getting my hopes up. Ron has such a strong chokehold on the state that it's not even funny.

If Ohio can pass a repro rights amendment and recreational cannabis, Florida can too. You're actually in better shape than we were. Ohio GOP tried twice to screw over voters by scheduling special elections. When I voted this week I heard another poll worker tell a voter, "Once you're done, you don't have to come back until next year." So much of the energy in my state is voters basically saying "We said what we said."

It's just one poll but it also feels like what seemed inevitable to me with negative opinion of Harris starting to build and the same younger voters who are so apathetic or so often end up believing the lies about Democrats falling into line. I'm just astonished, even as I shouldn't be, at how Trump's approval numbers are so high even as he is so decrepit and openly bigoted. Yes, it is just one poll, or a few polls, but this and some of the early voting results so far, etc. seem to suggest how much he has brought out the worst of this country's attitudes and instincts to shape his rotted insides.

Wow. These are allegedly GOP internals.

 

And no, I don't think this leak or these numbers are some masterful GOP psy-op to misdirect Dems. They haven't been that smart in over a decade. If these are legit (and they appear to be, as Politico has picked them up) I am reminded of 2022 all the more.

    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.
