The biggest on the planet, eh? Bigger than shipping? Airlines? Petroleum? Medical care?
Yes, it would be better if it was government-funded and government-controlled, because we know government is 100% honest and incorruptible.

I'm defending it. Who cares if George Soros gave x-amount of money? It gets spent in the public domain on events, travel, media, advertising, etc, and is all done without government handouts.
Republicans blew it when they started nominating draft dodgers after shrieking that Bill Clinton was a draft dodger.
(He wasn't. In his senior year in college, he surrendered his draft deferment and took a number in the draft lottery. He got #311 and was never called.)

Well the advancing ice age will change your mind. Look these southern states are being wasted by specimikns who do not appreciate the heat.
Living among a bunch of gun-toting 'make america great again' folks is not worth the heat.
Hard to believe, just seems like yesterday!
I remember that was the Hallowe'en we were sent out with collection boxes to collect for Hazel's victims in Ontario.
I was skimming through CBC news and came across this. National and state by state projections of how the election might go this evening.

This explains how the CBC reached their conclusions. As with all things CBC, I do not claim that this is at all accurate. It's just another news source getting in on the action.

It essentially has given every tossup state to Clinton (which may indeed happen) if you go by their tracking number.
I have a funny feeling people are going to not vote they way they tell the pollsters (one way or the other) which makes their projections questionable if that happened. I know 19/20 but haven't we had 19 accurate ones so far?
For many years, news departments/polling companies all over the world have been trying to come up with a system that can accurately predict elections.
It would be interesting to find a study that can report on the accuracy of polling agencies. How accurate are most projections anyway?

In the last election we held here in BC all the polls were predicting an NDP victory ..........boy did they get that wrong.

Polling industry dealt major blow in B.C. election
Last night was a very bad one for Adrian Dix and the New Democrats, who expected victory as much as the pollsters did. And with good reason: a stabilizing, maybe even growing, lead over the B.C. Liberals with hours to go before the polls opened. Instead, British Columbians collectively woke up and changed their minds and swung about 13 points towards Christy Clark. Or, more likely, something disastrously wrong occurred in the polling industry.

I routinely lie to pollsters. I even did an 'exit poll' where they asked who I voted for, I said somebody other than who I put the X beside. I like messing with pollsters heads.
They got BC and Alberta elections results wrong in the last little while. I think something simular happened in 1948 presidential election (which has been mentioned here). I recall the 2000 election was also supposed to be a slam dunk for Gore according to the pollsters. Damn those hanging chads!
Why does everyone pick on Cliffy?
How about one word? IGNORANCE!
Yogi had it right!
