hillary iraq
In her 2014 memoir, "Hard Choices," Clinton changed tack, fessing up and saying that she had relied heavily on prewar intelligence about Saddam's programs to build weapons of mass destruction. "I should have stated my regret sooner and in the plainest, most direct language possible," she wrote. She went on, "I thought I had acted in good faith and made the best decision I could with the information I had. And I wasn't alone in getting it wrong. But I still got it wrong. Plain and simple."

Yup. Here's to hoping that Hillary understands now, how Obama beat her, and replicates/copies pretty much everything that was done on the data/internet/tech side of the campaign. It is clear that the GOP in 2012 read what Obama did, but completely failed to understand how he did it. And completely failed to execute.
TL;DR - after a quick look, I am much less worried. There is too much risk and too little gain. Only Michigan is a threat right now.
As to the Nebraska model, are there even bills being put forth in states these days?
It could only happen in states with a GOP governor and controlled state house, that is blue ...
This would really only work in swing states.
And you have to wonder ... how much of a risk is this?
Pick Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada. Do you concede that you cant win it all, so try to get part? And then only get part of the votes when you win the state? It would be a giant risk.
Split house - so no chance of a change
Iowa
Virgina
gop control of all - so maybe, but is it really worth the risk??
Floriduh
Nevada
Wisconsin
Ohio
My guess ... is that in the end, there is serious risk in making these changes.
Michigan!
Michigan would be your best bet.
The GOP controls the state, but lost by 10%. So they have much to gain and little to lose.

They were pushing a bill, but tabled it.
Shudder.
Nevada

Nevada is already part of the NPV!!
I wonder how much work it would take to repeal that law and replace it with a proportional electoral vote law

obama on SCOTUS
My dream? And it it just a dream. But it makes me wet dreaming it.
President Hillary nominating ex-President Obama to the Supreme Court.
1) he is qualified
2) it would cause 2-10% of the population to burst into flames and die
3) and did I mention that he is qualified?
What better way to protect and extend your legacy (Obamacare), than from KING FOR LIFE SCOTUS seat?
The entertainment alone would never end.
My god the GOP would lose their collective shiat.
Could you imagine Bill O?? LOLOLOLOLOL

Rose Tyler: You are tiny. I can see the whole of time and space, every single atom of your existence, and I divide them.
Rose Tyler: Everything must come to dust. All things, everything dies.
Rose Tyler: The time war ends.
The Doctor: Rose, you've done it, now stop.
[Rose stares straight ahead]
The Doctor: Just let go.
Rose Tyler: How can I let go of this? I bring life.
[we see Jack start breathing again and open his eyes]
The Doctor: But this is wrong! You can't control life and death!
Rose Tyler: But I can. The sun and the moon, the day and night... but why do they hurt?
[she is crying]
The Doctor: The power's gonna kill you and it's my fault!
Rose Tyler: I can see everything... all that is... all that was... all that ever could be.
The Doctor: [stands up] But that's what *I* see. All the time. And doesn't it drive you mad?

armstrong and mcclesky
If you are confused or upset about Ferguson and the other police shootings. This book is a MUST READ. You really dont know what you think you know.
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCleskey_v._Kemp - "The Court said the "racially disproportionate impact" in Georgia death penalty indicated by a comprehensive scientific study was not enough to overturn the guilty verdict without showing a "racially discriminatory purpose."
HINT: just because the behaviour is INSANELY biased aka 10 times as many blacks as white, you have to show EXPLICIT racial bias AKA the cop calling the person a racial name or an email saying arrest all the black. Which means you never get to use racial BIAS in court.
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_prosecution - armstrong 1996 - White drug offenders get sent to state court, and get short sentences, black drug offenders get sent to federal court and crazy long sentences. on the order of a 100 to 1. In Anderson, SCOTUS ruled that you have to have evidence of bias in order to request discovery of the DA office. Strange, the DA office has the evidence of the bias, but you cant get it.
TRUST ME ON THIS, I have a friend who works criminal defense in federal court. he is fighting this. TODAY. Literally. He cant even get the data to prove that the DA is biased.
So when you wonder why Justice didnt bring a case against Ferguson, this is why. They would have lost.
