A flurry of polls have been released over the last 24 hours, all of which you can follow at PollTracker. But here are a couple of notable ones in the key Senate races that have come out this morning:
Santa Cruz would definitely be on my short list of towns where you could get attacked for wearing a Fox News costume for Halloween.
Does basically everyone under the age of 40(?) wonder why Ben Stein is even famous? A Nixon speechwriting gig can carry you for a long time.
In his on-going effort to appeal to DC elites as a different kind of Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says it’s “dumb” of Republicans to emphasize their support for voter ID laws which have been shown repeatedly to cut voting rates for minorities and poorer voters. He still they’re awesome. But it’s “dumb” to make a big deal out of them because black voters can get the wrong impression. Watch.
National Review undertakes exegesis of Lena Dunham book and concludes she’s a sex abuser, which prompts Dunham to launch into a “rage spiral” on Twitter.
State judge in Kentucky declines to block that controversial Mitch McConnell mailer.
So not terribly shockingly (for Santa Cruz) but very lamely someone apparently roughed up a trick or treater who was dressed up as a Fox News reporter. It took me a few minutes to remember. But when I heard this I thought, wait, this sounds familiar. Well, it goes back to 2008 when my wife and I dressed up for Halloween as Joe the Plumber (me) and Ashley Todd (her).
Don’t remember Ashley Todd?
I just wanted to remind you: on big news event days, we really rely on you to be our eyes and ears. We’ve been doing this for more than a decade and we rely on the emails we get in to our staff email account, which you can see linked over at the upper right of the site. If you see something in person, if you see a story moving on the local news, wherever and whenever, let us know. We’ll be waiting for your tips and have our whole team primed to jump right on them.
Like they say at the railroad stations and airports, if you see something, say something (to us).
