PA - McGinty-D is now ahead of Toomey-R in RCP average.

Is this one of the states we were counting on to take back the senate?

Do you think the start time of the Hillary speech...

... shifted from 1 to 3 (and therefore to 4 or 5, as most of these speeches happen) because they wanted to be sure to follow Trump?

I posted information about getting my computer hacked when trying to log onto an invitation only Hillary site. The post was locked, but if anyone was following, here's the info I got from the company that hosted the website.

RESPONSE FOR PROBOARDS “SUPPORT HELPER”
Hi
You didn't happen to take any screenshots at the time, did you?
Because you mentioned 3 things, perhaps this could explain what you experienced. On the most common captcha , you will get it loading, and then have a 'verify' button. Next, you will be prompted to do something, for example, select a specific image(s), or move an image to the centre, or rotate an image, or something like that. After that, an ad will display. Is it possible that you could you have clicked the ad?

Under the ad, there should have been a 'submit' button to finish the captcha.

MY ANSWER
I no longer have an account at that web site, so I can't show you want I experienced, but what you describe sounds familiar. I had to rotate something. Then I got the ad. If the ad is something that ProBoards supports, then that may explain my experience. I was sure it wasn't a ProBoards thing. I don't know what I did to get "out," but whatever I did it presented a message in the same format as the Verify message asking me to call support at an 8xx number. So it may be the ad site that has been hacked. Or a malicious site that bought ProBoards ad space.

RCP - i sent an e-mail. Is there anything else I can do?

I'm really fed up. It's been 3 days and RCP still hasn't shown the 8/22 Reuters/IPSOS poll. The last one they included was Aug 18. This isn't OK!!!!

The HRC campaign still needs money!

"Clinton’s more pressing concern, her donors said, is raising money for the expensive ground organization she will need to deliver a win."

Don't forget that the campaign still needs money, even though the primaries are over!!!

Hillary is doing something else for America!

Besides her service in the Childrens' Defense Fund, and First Lady and senator and secretary of state, Hillary is showing us that it is possible not to cave under the pressure of a vast right wing conspiracy. (Yes, that's what I said. She was right then and it's true now.) It's scary that 40% of Americans are willing to vote for him. I can only hope that many of them aren't following the news and just say "Republican" because that's what they've always done.

She has a method (don't get knocked off course, don't spend all your public time defending yourself). It's working. After decades of this horror, she keeps achieving. After decades, nothing comes of the attacks.

Hopefully, now that national attention is focused more than ever people will get bored with the constant barrage of fruitless attacks.

We ALL have to resist this kind of pressure. THANK YOU HILLARY!!!!!

Finally! An energetic explanation of the good that...

... the Clinton Foundation does and it's "stellar" rating as a charity, right up with Doctors Without Borders, the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army. CNN is running a story with a graphic showing that over 400 MILLION children with HIV/AIDS would lose their 90% medication subsidy if the Clinton Foundation was "shut down." They're quoting charity rating organizations' very high ratings. Finally, finally, finally.
