@Liz_Cheney Thank you Liz for your words and for all you did. Well done.

Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect.  All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

@MaraDolan4GC Glad somebody on our side won!

We did it! Very proud to be your Governor’s Councillor-Elect, and looking forward to serving as your Governor’s Councillor. #mapoli

My story, "A Tug on Superman's Cape," was just published on spillwords.com spillwords.com/a-tug-on-super…. Thanks to Dagmara K and her minions at spillwords for pairing the tale with this stunning photo of the late great racing legend.

Hey, Formula One racing fans--my homage to the late great Niki Lauda will be published on 9/21 in Spillwords. I'll post the link when the story appears. #F1 #FormulaOne #Viennanights #innergreatness #heroworship #celebrityencounters

My story "On Seeing Past the Nose on One's Face" has just been republished in A Library of Collaboration by Down in the Dirt. You can see it here: scars.tv/2024May-August… Available at Amazon. Unaccountably I am listed as the first author (!). Not true--only one of many

@Nate_Cohn Wrong. 75% of x does not =(80%.y-5%).

To take our most recent PA poll: only 74% of registered Dems considered themselves Democrats when asked; only 80% of Republicans considered themselves Republicans. Put it together, and a D+3 sample by party registration actually leaned Republican by party ID

I don't think this is as nearly as clear as many of you do. The 2020 exit poll was D+1; the 2022 midterm exit poll was R+3; the Pew NPORS study was R+2 among RVs; national partisan voter registration has steadily shifted GOP x.com/DavidKillion4/…
