Most of Fox News US ads are for medical products too .
Its a very strange scenario .
Both demographics must be elderly unhealthy people.

It's just ads in general in America, particularly daytime ads, across the networks.

Quick math using the percentages would put Biden failing by 629 votes (he gains 12206 on Trump vs. being down 12835) and that's before Forsyth is taken into account; will be a recount either way I'm guessing.

very tight - could go either way - think aPennysalvia will decide, if Biden wins here will send out a message , same as Georgia, rather than if he scrapes home in Nevada.

Just winning the 270 by one close state is not ideal. Best if Biden wins the four races, then Trump cannot launch multiple cases in various states with any credibility.

This, in Texas, pretty much sums up what happened nationwide in this election:

No, that's what those percentages are. Results of normal votes.

Postal ballots will be different.

Either way it won't matter as he's going to win PA and that will be enough.

I think the fact they came with in 600k votes of flipping Texas should really scare republicans. If they lose Texas that's the election over pretty much (38 votes) and the trend in the voting behavior has gone against them for quite a while now and don't look like it's likely to change any time soon.

Summary of CNN take on GA
12,835 diff.

47,000 votes to be counted - all mail-in votes.

Chatham - 17,000 votes remaining. Biden at 58%
Fulton - 7,000 votes remaining. Biden at 73%
Cobb - 700 votes remaining. Biden at 56%
Gwenette - 4,800 votes remaining. Biden at 59%
Forsyth - No figure given by CNN. Biden at 32%
Clayton - 6,000 votes remaining. Biden at 85%

Biden needs 63-65%
Trump needs 34-36%

FWIW I did a few sums completely based off my own opinion on what Biden might get from mail-in; I reckon he'll win by about 5,000.
Useless stat, just an opinion which is conservatively based off what Biden has been doing nationwide with mail-ins. I'd be quietly confident in winning GA if I was Biden.

Ads for schizophrenia medication where a woman is talking to her friend about her mental health problems. The friend recommends some medication. The woman listens to the friend and buys the medication. The friend disappears. The friend was just a voice in her head.

Same ad, every break the other night on some us news channel. Bizzare

Haven't seen the Ad, thankfully, but if she goes and buys that medication without seeing her Doctor that also says a lot about the country!

Analysts seem pretty confident about Nevada.

PA Secretary of State has said there's approx. 500k ballots left and the vast majority could be counted by the end of the day their time.

paul71 · 05-11-2020 09:01PM

Leaving aside the states still not decided, between New York, New Jersey and California there are still 10 million uncounted votes. They will come down heavily in favour of Biden. The popular vote is currently at 2.6 million in favour of Biden, that is going to increase dramatically.

I assume the whole Cabinet resign when the ruling party are voted out of power? In fact, if the West Wing has thought me anything, they even resign if the incumbent President wins, to save him the embarrassment of having to fire any that he doesn't want in his new cabinet.

Oh an expected trump county in Georgia went the other way in mail ballots. Could be a sign that a flip is on the way

No question his final margin of victory in the actual national vote will end up being pretty solid I would say north of 5%.

Philadelphia County have 85k to 90k uncounted mail in votes left

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 05-11-2020 09:05PM

85,000-90,000 in Philly. Biden at 80% there.
Trump's lead will be blown up from Philly alone.

Thats why I mentioned it, the polls were saying 7% or 8%, I think it will be 6%. The issue nationally is not the polls, it is the broken electoral college system. The method used in Maine and Nebraska are the quick fix way of correcting that broken system.

Christ, this Arizona Press conference from the Republicans is pretty crazy.

'Fox News Sucks' How quickly they turn! I forgot what Arizona accent sounded like!

And he’s also working with Congress to strip military bases that have confederate generals names of those names. I’d say the atmosphere in the White House the last few days has been something shocking. I know joe Biden has not won yet and it’s still possible however slim for Donald trump to win re-election but the trends aren’t moving enough in trumps favour where he needs to go.

Well if trump loses then they’d have to resign but not till January 20th at midday and even then there’s someone in charge of all the departments until a new cabinet secretary is appointed.

Yes I think your likely to be very close with 6% I can see that easily being the final margin when all the votes cast are counted. Totally agree with you on the electoral college system. That is a total joke. Anti-democratic and needs to be done away with. But given the Republicans are now at best a quasi democratic party they will fight tooth and nail to keep it as it is one of the tools they are currently using to stop democracy in the US so they can cling to power.

Forsyth have about 123,000 votes counted and 95% done.
That leaves about 6,000 votes left there.

Interesting interesting. Who is leading there?

Edit: nevermind, it’s upthread.

Trump's lead in PA goes under 100k, now 98k.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 05-11-2020 09:19PM

On a side note, those corona virus numbers are desperate and you'd imagine in about 2 weeks there will be a bit of a spike from these elections.

They are awful. Well any polling pictures I saw of people standing outside and within the voting places everyone was wearing masks. So hopefully there won’t be spikes because of the in person voting. You’d hope anyway.

Itssoeasy · 05-11-2020 09:22PM

Here’s joe Biden.

Apparently 340,000 mail ballots remaining, and as Biden has been getting around 72% of those, he'll easily take the lead.
