Anybody see Colbert last night, seemed like he was holding his nose a bit and realised he could not do what he really wanted to.

GOP’s voter fraud humiliation: Turns out Wisconsin’s worst case is a Republican - Salon.com
Right before the 2012 recall, you may remember, Reince Priebus claimed that Democratic voter fraud could account for up to 2 percent of the vote on Election Day. “I’m always concerned about voter fraud, you know, being from Kenosha, and quite frankly having lived through seeing some of it happen,” Priebus told reporters. “Certainly in Milwaukee we have seen some of it, and I think it’s been documented. Any notion that’s not the case, it certainly is in Wisconsin. I’m always concerned about it, which is why I think we need to do a point or two better than where we think we need to be, to overcome it.”

So that's why all of Romney's polling showed him winning. They forgot to take into account Democratic voter fraud.

Schoolboy error.

They're still trying to figure out how to allow for Democratic voter fraud in the polls. There could be some rules of thumb, i.e. in Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia you might increase the Democratic side of the ledger by 12% as the minimum contribution of fraud. That might get your poll within the 3% margin of error.

Apparently figuring out how to allow for voter suppression in the polls is more tricky

How would one figure out how many people can't get to the polls because of voter suppression - especially since anyone COULD get some form of free ID if they were willing to make the effort? Besides, absentee mail-in ballot fraud out to offset most or all of the voter suppression effort fraud.

Query: does suppression of the military vote count as voter suppression?

Watching the third Republican debate right now.

The CNBC hosts are getting crucified out there, and rightfully so.
Even Trump made them look stupid .

I will give CNBC a little credit for not making it all about Trump.

That's about all they contributed. So far, the weakest performance of any of the moderating teams. I thought Rubio's and Christie's observations put them in their place.

So Rubio looked quite strong tonight. Jeb had an awful night. Trump and Carson repeated the same kind of stuff that seems to be working for them.
I like Rand Paul's explanations but nobody is going to get hot under the collar thinking about cutting spending and the baby boomers comment was hilarious, although probably not too smart for a Republican.

Everyone agrees that Hillary is the devil incarnate.

The moderation was absolutely absurd. They couldn't control some of the candidates, talked over one another, bickered with other candidates and even the audience turned juvenile. CNBC dropped the ball tonight.

Yeah, it was a hot mess. As much I hate Cruz, in both style and substance, he's the one that actually stomped the moderators and he's obviously brilliant --- which is scary.

My takeaway was that I can see why the RNC limited the # of debates ... it really hurts the brand.

I saw on youtube a section where Jim Cramer was asking questions, on the panel. I don't know him very well, but is he mentally challenged? To his credit, he did seem quite normal posing questions to the candidates, but on Cnbc Squak Box etc. he is really a bad version of Letterman or Jay Leno.
Is he on drugs?
