He's mobilizing them to move on Albuquerque when it's time.

Not always. Networks typically turn a few minutes an hour back to the affiliates for local or rep firm buys, even during top events like the World Series or Super Bowl.

Kenosha County bounces back and forth between the Chicago and Milwaukee DMAs depending on county-level data every two years. Not sure where it is right now, but either way, it's so small, I have trouble envisioning pols paying political rates for Chicago spots just to impact Kenosha. Michigan, no, never. I don't think that would explain the preponderances.

That would be highly coincidental.

So, I am on a driving trip thorough the south, and I am in Johnson City, TN tonight, after staying in Frankfort, KY last night. I said I would check out the signage and get back to you. I can say I am seeing less signage than thought I would—actually, less than I saw in northern Michigan and the UP in early October, and it is mostly Trump who's on signs down here. But something else I am seeing surprises me a bit. In Chicago, when I watch the World Series on the FOX broadcast network, the spots are overwhelmingly for Kamala. Now, Illinois is a settled state, so I was thinking, Kamala must be buying a ton of national time and the red states watching the game must be getting hammered with her. But in these two southern cities, also in settled states, at least 80% of the presidential spots are Trump. As a one-time media buyer, I'm not sure how to guess what's happening here. Are these local spots being bought by the candidates, and the presumptive winners for each state are preempting the other candidate from undercutting them with airtime? What are any of the other possible explanations?

Some Kamala warrior you are. Come on, you have a chance to make a difference, on camera, in enemy territory. So go make a difference.

Hopefully there won't be more of them after the 2020s.

Show up and be a plant.

All the time.

Did someone on the MAGA side actually call Democrats Nazis? I gotta be honest, I can't even keep up with the firehose of **** anymore.

He never thought something like this would happen because he's an ignorant jackass.

I'm too old to have to wait for that.

“We have to reduce spending to live within our means” has to be one of the richest things a centibillionaire can say.

The only fly in this ointment of a scenario is that, if Trump dies in a state of grace with the base, he dies a martyr, he becomes a saint to the movement, and the charlatans who were in his inner circle at any point will jockey for power to become the new leaders of that movement, and it might work because anyone who was close to Trump would be akin to being an apostle. Hell, it might even be Junior. The inheritors don't have to share his unique brand of charisma. They will need only to have been within his inner circle to qualify. And who knows, there might even be a bit of internecine murder at the top, a la Trotsky or Röhm, which would be a total bonus.

Because he wants to flip the 2020 experience back on the Democrats, the experience of leading early on election night and then he comes back and "steals" the election once the early votes are counted in. I think it's that base level of revenge he's looking for.

I remember wanting to roll roll roll in ze hay with her, and I was 13. RIP, Teri. 😢

Even looking past the problem of Montgomery’s skills steadily deteriorating, making the taking on of an extra $12.5 Ms look like a bad bet, what’s in it for Arizona to take on Maeda? Beyond garbage offsetting garbage, would a 2nd round comp pick really be worth $12.5 million?

The Yankees looked as bad as the pre-August Tigers would whenever they got shut out.

Social media > media media.

He’s basically the original guy the song was written for.

Honestly, based on my experience, they looked like they were newer than that, plus, second and third generations tend to assimilate and consequently disperse away from the kind of concentrated ethnic enclaves their immigrant parents and grandparents tend toward.

Funny you should mention—my wife and I passed through Allentown on the way to Montauk, LI. We learned going in that it was highly Puerto Rican, which we didn’t expect. And we did notice a high percentage of people who looked like they could be Puerto Rican. But the thing that really surprised us was that we did not see a single sign anywhere that was in Spanish. Here in Chicago, there are a boatload of signs in Spanish everywhere. I’m not quite sure what to make of that.

He could still land on his head from the second floor.
