It's like trying to reason with my niece when she was four

I babysat one summer and she didn't like her naps.

Trying to reason with a cranky four old just gives you a headache.

Trying to present facts to some is worse.

GD-P is certainly interesting today

Lots of people trying to defend the indefensible

How are all my Hillary friends doing today?

Has anyone else worked as a poll worker

If you have then you know there are always issues at the polling site.

Voter registration cards are sometimes sent out before the official voter roll is generated.

There's always the possibility that someone filled out a form wrong and the clerk's office can't process it.

When I moved back east from California, I registered at the DMV when I got my new license. I called my county clerk's office and was told that they never received my form. I followed up on it and made sure I was registered in the end.

There's always the possibility of human error in the clerk's office. The case that comes to mind is one of shooters from last year was identified as female on the election rolls. I think it was the guy who shot up the community college in Oregon. If you go to the poll and the worker tells you that you're listed as female when you're male, a reasonable person would take steps to fix the problem.

Voter fraud exists but not in the scale that some people believe it does. If you want to vote, find out what you have to do so in Election Day there won't be any problems for you.

Shock poll: In West Virginia, Hillary Clinton 44%, Sanders 31%

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/3/17/1502810/-Shock-poll-In-West-Virginia-Hillary-Clinton-44-Sanders-31

Bernie Sanders must win West Virginia by a huge margin if the state is to have an impact in the primaries, because this is an extremely white state.

A poll conducted March 2-6 has Clinton ahead of Sanders by 13%. Link

It has to be an outlier. But you never know these days.

Not that West Virginia matters because Bernie supporters have said that red states don’t matter because Republicans will win there in November.

Anyone else getting lots of calls from a blocked number?

the caller said he was from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee

they've been calling twice a day and not leaving any message

I finally answered and said I'm donating to Hillary until the primaries are over and then I might donate to the committees

Like I'm going to give my credit card info over the phone to someone calling from a blocked number

morons

Hillary apologizes for Nancy Reagan/AIDS comment

https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/708403247795539968/photo/1

While the Reagans were strong advocates for stem cell research and finding a cure for Alzheimers, I misspoke about their record on HIV and AIDS. For that, I'm sorry.
