    Indiana is Pence territory. Good work on the numbers notwithstanding I am not sure if any of it really carries over.

    Really good shout - could just be unwind of a Mike Pence effect. And no sign of Trump running behind 2020 in Kentucky
    No - look at Kentuky.

    Wolf county as example - Trump off by 4 on 2020.
    These are probably the early vote, the day of vote could be much more Republican.
    They are more than early vote. Some of these counties are practically done:


    Hamilton is a massive population with an 8% Harris swing, so if representative of Suburbs then Trump is toast.
    Suburban women are the key it seems.
    So have I. We can do this together!
    Also, I just got back from the pub. Noting the 9am meeting, should I open the whisky? A question to the forum…
    If your meeting at 9am is coincidentally with me, absolutely you can.

    FPT - See previous reference to Gomer Pyle (as played on US TV by the late, great Jim Nabors.

    Speaking of Indiana, Nabors was an icon in the great Hoosier State. Why? Because he used to sing "Back Home in Indiana" at the start of every Indianapolis 500 race

    Good morning from a bright cool autumnal Seoul

    Looks like Korea is possibly the BEST place to watch this unfurl, time-wise, after all

    Got a good 8 hours kip and now results just coming in…

    My ideal result is a long long 24 hours where Trump looks like he’s winning, to scare the living shitz out of every Wokester on here. And around the world. But ultimately for Trump to lose, coz tho I love entertainment I don’t actually want him to win

    Whatever the exit poll says, the early Georgia returns look good for Harris. She's tracking 3 percent ahead of Biden in 2020, with the caveat that she needs to be, because early voting will be more favorable to her.
