as of right now uncommitted is at 12.7%, and this number has been shrinking all night long. I would not be surprised if it eventually hits the same percentage of uncommitted votes that has happened in the past few primaries which is 10%.

gaza was not the major election issue the media or rep. talib was making it out to be. it's certainly not a major general election issue considering the alternative.

as a fun side note marianne williamson who got out of the race a month ago is officially beating dean phillips who for some reason is still running.

last report I saw via msnbc was dearborn at 56%. but even if it was 75%, it's still not enough of a margin to really be an election concern at this point for the state overall, especially since you don't know how many haley voters would vote biden.

make note of the result and do your best to resolve that issue but it's not a 5 alarm fire. that's the most muslim and specifically palestinian area of the country by far. the congressional district might get a few delegates out of this so it's going to be heard at the convention. but if that's going to be the extent of the discontent I don't think biden has to really be worried nationally.

there's a lesson that I learned in college that I still follow today: never eat lunch at lunchtime. unless I'm traveling I'm not eating at peak periods anyway so I really wouldn't be affected by this pricing change.

I still don't like it though. unless that wendy's is the only game in town (literally) this isn't going to be good for business.

what are the chances it would have been way overpriced compared to it similar competitors?

in 2012 uncommitted got 11% of the vote against actual human being running for reelection barack obama.

as of this moment uncommitted is. getting just under 15%. the other actual human being running for the dem nomination has barely under 3%.

unless all of those uncommitted voters don't vote for biden in november I don't see biden in any trouble, especially if those uncommitted democratic voters are made up by by around 30% of haley voters.

what this does tell me is that there is a major bias against biden in the media, as if they are actively reporting the news to make it seem like biden has some major electoral issues when a) trump has even bigger issues than biden and b) the numbers are simply not telling that story.

I'm a little surprised magnussen hasn't accidentally led a lap on a pit rotation.

joke's on them. unless I had a hankering for a non-meal item before I started ordering, I'm not getting it. and almost always I don't have a hankering.

that's why they have digital menuboards now.

mcdonald's is getting raked over the coals for their higher prices. wendy's saying they're going to set higher pricing during busy times in this environment is going to push people off to a place like burger king, and everyone loses in that situation.

I think this was not the boiling frog moment, but when cpac exported itself to european venues.

as for fever pitch, if I'm not mistaken for the last few years they've had TWO cpac conferences a year.

and I'm fully convinced that the christians know who they are getting involved with, and that is an indictment on that flavor of christianity than anything else. I'm reading tim alberta's new book "the kingdom, the power, and the glory" and he goes into in part how that version of christianity got tied into republican politics. in short, I'm less surprised that nazis showed up to cpac and more surprised that cpac actually let them in the door.

this is why I don't take seriously anyone who says that both parties are the same or two side of the same coin. maybe you could make that argument 40 years ago. but these days saying that is a shorthand to me that "I don't pay attention to what's going on in the news." clearly one party's mainstream has gone extreme and you have to be willfully ignorant to not see it.
