OK: FWIW, I had a talk with a major newspaper editor yesterday.

For background, he’s older man soon to be retired, has that quiet brilliance of the old-fashioned newspaper people who truly bring an objective view to the world, despite their own prejudices. I have never known him to use hyperbole, exaggerate, or make statements which are not accurate. He was an acquaintance of all of the Philadelphia power elite during the last 40+ years and has countless interesting and often amusing anecdoteS about these people. I once reflected that he only tells me stories about people who are deceased, he never speaks of individuals who are still with us in order not to violate his own set of principles.

Yesterday, I asked him quite frankly what do you think of the presidential race? He said evenly, that Biden is going to win in a landslide, and that it is going to be embarrassing to the Republicans nationally, because there is going to be a near-sweep of down-ballot races in a multitude of regions. Of course, I followed up with a few questions and he said that he is privy to the private polls, and there is absolutely no question as to what is going to happen which will dwarf any cheating which the Trump folks are going to most certainly implement. He further stated that in 2018 many attempts were made nationally to undermine the Democrats but by sheer numbers they dominated.

I will admit that I felt somewhat better after he left. He has never steered me wrong.


Nope, no prejudices brought to the table here, none at all.   ::)

Nothing really new here, I just wanted to bring this over to see how well this ages come Tuesday.  Maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong.  We will know in short order.

Three more votes for the President cast today. Me, my wife and my handmaid.  :-)

Obviously satire, to mock the primitives' delusions.

I was remembering what you said about brooklynite the other day and man, he's all over the DU board!  He's posting about every Biden ad he can find.  Wonder what that portends?

He obviously wants Biden to win, but in his heart he knows he's wrong.

What he's up to is anybody's guess.  Watch him Sunday and Monday, and up until 4:00 p.m. election day, when Skins's island goes down.

I kind of get the feel he may be trying to push the inevitable whining back a few days.  Building them up until the last possible second.  We'll be finding out shortly!

Another known DUmp pathological liar weighs in.

Dennis does not even know a paper boy much less an editor of any paper.

I believe this is what is known as "accuse others of what you are doing and blame others for your failures" rules.

Yes, the Editorial section is just between "Dodges - Used" and "Fords - New" sections.

Wow,  what a coincidence.
The Intern spoke to the very same major news editor that
presented gNads with a major participation certificate for
her in-depth reporterage of the Ensenada porta‐potty flush handle scandal controversy.
PeeeCee is well connected with the power elite.  :whatever:

I'm assuming the editor is from the philadelphia inquirer... if he ain't lying.

We'll see.  I'm sure the rioters in Philly will send Biden over the top.  Nothing makes voting for the dem better than looting scoring free shit from the local stores
