according to the latest poll. So, what are they worried about?


Or are they lying to us about the polls?

never knew why it turned blue on 538 since no recent poll had Clinton ahead in Iowa. Of course with this latest bombshell the Register poll is kind of obsolete--all conducted prior to this controversy.

In the Battle of Midway, the Yorktown was temporarily brought back to operational status by counter-flooding the ship--letting in more water to keep it from capsizing.

Then, slowed down and unable to keep up with the rest of its fleet, it was torpedoed and sunk by a submarine.

I'm just putting it down here so I can sound all prophetic and shit next week.
