Hidden vote: women.

A thought that occurred to me while reading some commentary on polilng. What does the early vote look like with women compared to 2012. If anyone has that data, it would be interesting to share.

It's possible that a "hidden women vote" can in part counteract any "hidden white vote" (which as likely as not does not actually exist).

I think we have this locked down folks

Mostly I just want this called early. Florida or NC, come through...I need my sleep.


The only possible way don't win is if we are somehow not polling enough poor whites. I think the analysis of this heretofore has been pretty sound, though.

Heads up on oppo dump and Eichenwald

I had one person tell me Eichenwald is not oppo dump, but related for it (context). I had another person tell me it is the oppo dump.

So I honestly don't know at this point.

4 NH polls today

2 are not great so far but one is ARG so can likely be completely discounted.
Other 2 dropping later. Would be nice to see a firewall there.
