    I just dropped off my preposterously enormous completed ballot at City Hall here in San Francisco. I’m going to try to ignore politics completely for the next 30 hours.

    But I know I’ll fail. For one thing, thanks to the contributions I’ve made through Doug!’s ActBlue links, I’m getting about 200 emails a day. ‘S okay. Not long to go now. I’m feeling cautiously hopeful.

Come Wednesday, our governor and senior senator will be re-elected. We’ll have a new Lt. Governor who is an absolute original. Conor Lamb will be my new Representative.

    Already voted here in Raleigh, NC.

    BTW: it occurred to me that, as joyful as we all will be if Stacy Abrams and Gillum win the respective governorships of Georgia and Florida – the unbounded joy back on election night 2008 of experiencing Obama become the first black (or minority) to win the Presidency, and the accompanying thought that *finally* his victory proved this country had moved past its troubled racial past – proved so very wrong so very soon. Instead, it soon provoked the latent racism to emerge among a too-substantial residual portion of the electorate, needing only an evil demagogue like Trump to bring it out in to full, open flower – and big-money big-business wing of the GOP and hard-core talibangelical Christian wings proved all too willing to take cynical advantage of the residual racists, especially after Trump came along to make that appeal brazenly open.

    So if Abrams and Gillum win, it’s a big deal worth celebrating for sure, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves yet on assuming demographic and attitudinal change has swept away the reactionary racists from their grip on power and their potential to capture a slim majority in some critical elections.

One of my long-time email addresses has been rendered completely useless by this phenomena.

    Already steeling my resolve to head out to vote tomorrow morning. Tactical gear (pants!) prepped and ready. Supposed to be raining here in NoVA, but, silver lining, temperatures up in the mid-60s. I’m going to go about 9:00-9:30, in what I hope will be a lull between the pre-work crowd and the lunchtime crowd. My polling place doesn’t usually have long lines, but all bets are off in this election.

    Then in the late afternoon I’ll head over to Sighthound Hall, where Bro’ Man is having a watch party with food, drink and trenchant political analysis. Think I’m taking my queso dip—better than most restaurants’!—and maybe fixin’s for margaritas. Possibly cava sangría.

    Not making any predictions on the races, although I have my thoughts and prayers.

    justawriter

    Something to consider for next month, a lot of candidates, especially ones in deep red districts – the ‘no hopers’ who run anyway – often wind up with significant campaign debt after all the shouting is over. I know some candidates take years to pay off that debt. So once all the shouting is over, it would be nice to try and help clear some of that debt even though they only got 35 percent of the vote. It could help recruit stronger candidates in the future if they knew they wouldn’t have to cash out their 401 K. (I am also talking about helping people with regular jobs, not millionaires and billionaires capable of self funding.)

This is likely the last time I’ll get to drag her to the polls, as next year she’ll be in middle school and “beyond all that”, or so I’m told.

    I’m less excited about what their victories might mean about demographic and attitudinal changes and more excited about what they mean in concrete policy terms.

    1/ On the eve of #ElectionDay, here’s the latest on #txelex:

    @nytimes released a new poll that puts @ColinAllredTX at a 4-point lead against @PeteSessions. The poll’s ±4.7% margin of error means the contest could be a dead heat.

    Also in that thread is an indication that Ken Paxton, the corrupt Texas AG who is currently under multiple felony indictments, is saying the race against Justin Nelson (Dem challenger) could be close. That would be a sweet and very, very important win. Ken Paxton is pushing a case in Texas to do away with the requirement to cover pre-existing conditions. Nelson has said he’ll toss out that case. This race is not well known outside Texas, and even inside Texas, and is important for everyone depending on the ACA because their goal is to nationalize that case.

    I just got still another robocall for the Republican incumbent for the Ohio Statehouse. This one was recorded by Senator Bob Portman. I’ve gotten very few calls from other candidates this year.

    I (early) voted for the Democratic challenger of course, just as I did the last time she ran to be my State
    Rep. I like her but would never say I think she is an especially strong candidate.

    She’s underfunded and doesn’t have that je ne says quoi of typically successful office-seekers. She might be a little too much down-to-Earth.

    And yet…her Republican opponent is running scared. I am enjoying that, and hope it is a good omen.

On the other hand Act Blue allows not just Democratic candidates but also allied groups to raise funds. A unified funding platform for all their grifts sounds like a perfect thing for the Republicans.

    Some needed humor from Alexandra Petri.

    The only lesson I have retained from 2016 is that there is no such thing as certainty of any shape or form. Nothing is knowable, and we drift blindly through a void of insufficient information, and the birds whose entrails Nate Silver alone can read and interpret do not have reliable entrails.

    In accordance with this philosophy, here is a guide to what the polls mean, as far as I can understand them.

    Candidate A is up by 5 points: No one can know anything about who will win this race, and we are fools to presume. Go vote! Go register to vote! Beat down the doors of strangers! Weep, fall on your knees, plead with them! It is not too late!

    Candidate A is up by 5 points (margin of error ± 5 pts.): POLL, YOU HAVE TOLD US NOTHING. You are bad and you ought to feel bad! Go home and think about what you have done.

    Candidate A has a 4-in-5 chance of victory: Until the actual moment of election, you can rest confident in the knowledge that Candidate A will surely prevail and Candidate B’s election is unlikely, but then, of course, Candidate B will win, and you will never know peace again.

    The needle is pointing blue: This sign is meaningless, and we cannot rest until we have seen and counted each ballot by hand! I ABJURE YOU, FALSE SOOTHSAYER! Do not taunt me with these phantoms!

    Democrats have a 7-in-8 chance of retaking the House: It is impossible to say who will retake the house until Wolf Blitzer is standing in front of a glowing blue map holding a result in his hand, and it is best not to anger the gods with your hubris.

    Republicans have a 1-in-8 chance of keeping the House: Republicans will almost certainly keep the House.

    This seat is a toss-up: Why would you even tell me this, poll?

    This seat is likely Democratic: This seat, this taunting tempter, will whisper hope to you and then DASH THAT HOPE, DASH IT TO BITS!

    This seat leans Republican: One thing we can say about this seat is that it will definitely be colored pink on a map for a period of time.

    Exit polls show…: Maybe by attempting to measure things we are altering them. Maybe we shouldn’t measure anything. Maybe it is already too late….

    This seat is safely red: I believe that quantum physics states that if you run into a wall enough times, statistically, one of those times the particles of the wall will align in such a way that you are able to pass through the wall! It’s worth a try!

    Border Protection is preparing for the caravan — with weapons and gear designed for combat

    Sorry Yarrow, I don’t think this is going away after tomorrow.

    The M4 semiautomatic rifle in his hands is tipped with a suppressor favored by Special Operations to muffle gunshots during clandestine missions.

    Just above that is a PEQ-15 sight, which projects an infrared beam visible with night-vision goggles so the shooter can fire at night or point out targets for comrades and helicopters above. A tactical flashlight and holographic sight round out the rifle. Magazines are at his hip for quick reloading during a firefight.

    A mask obscures his face, and he wears a noise-canceling tactical headset that would look natural for scouting an Afghan valley for Taliban insurgents.

    But photos taken Monday of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents training weeks before a potential arrival of a caravan of Central Americans reveal a southern border already militarized — even before the arrival of thousands of active-duty soldiers.

    What could possibly be worse then active duty troops at the border?

    A militarized border patrol who are accountable to nobody.

    Rasmussen long had a system where they would produce heavily slanted polls for most of the cycle and then slide to an accurate model at the end so they could pretend their slanted polls were useful. They gave that up a few years ago – shortly after the founder left in 2013, IIRC. Now they just produce garbage R-slanted polls that are bought for fraudulent purposes (fundraising in hopeless races, slanting poll averages, a false headline for an OpEd, etc.).

    @WaterGirl:

    As requested!

    Mexican Queso (Cheese) Dip

    Prep: 5-10 minutes.
    Cook: 5-10 minutes.
    Yield: About 30 fluid ounces.

    1¼ lbs. white American cheese.
    8-10 oz. heavy cream (or Half and Half or whole milk).
    ¼ cup diced green chiles (canned).
    2 pickled jalapeños, chopped (or equivalent from a jar).
    1 oz. pickled jalapeño juice.
    Pinch of cumin (optional).

    1. Grate the cheese coarsely or cut it into cubes about ½" to 1" square. (I prefer to grate—less hassle with cold cheese.)

    2. Stir together the cheese and cream (or milk) in a large microwave-safe bowl. (Start with 8 ounces and add the rest if necessary as you are heating.) Microwave on high for 5 minutes, stopping to stir every minute. The mixture might seem watery during the first few stirs, but should come together as the cheese melts.

    3. Remove from the microwave and stir in the rest of the ingredients. Mix well and maybe give it another 30-60 seconds in the microwave to make sure everything is warm.

    3. Serve immediately. For a party, you can transfer it to a small slow cooker on the warm or low setting. Or you can give it another zap in the microwave occasionally if it gets too cool or thickens up too much.

    You can store any leftover dip in the fridge. (There won’t be any.) Reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30-60 seconds until creamy and hot.

    ———
    Steep’s notes:

    “Heat for 5 minutes” is not a hard rule. I usually have to go a few minutes over to get full melting and the right consistency. (Think of the queso from your favorite Mexican restaurant. El Torero in Atlanta for me.) It depends on your microwave.

    White American cheese is available at most deli counters in the grocery store. I have used Land o’ Lakes and Boar’s Head. In a pinch you can use Kraft white American cheese slices. Ix-nay on the Velveeta! (Although apparently there is now a white version of Velveeta designed specifically for this kind of recipe. I have not tried that.) This is the ingredient where you don’t want to “substitute” or screw around.

    You can vary the heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of chiles and jalapeños. The amounts above are about middle of the road.

    This recipe is adapted from one at Seeded at the Table (h/t to Nikki Gladd, the proprietor). I highly recommend that you use cream instead of the milk and water in the original. This is one of those recipes that you don’t want to “lighten up” or “make healthier.” It is what it is!

    Also, as with most recipes on line, the comments are hilarious. You would never think that so many things could go so wrong with melting cheese.

    @J R in WV:

    It’s going to depend on the melting point of the cheese—that’s crucial. If you have access to some Mexican cheeses, you could look for “dipping” or “melting” cheeses.

    Many comments on that recipe site from alleged insiders say that even the Mexican restaurants use white American cheese—specifically Land o’ Lakes “extra melt” cheese. Mostly sold through food-service companies, although a couple of people said they have seen it at Costco or Walmart.

    @Redshift: I saw some clips from that rally with Obama! I am praying Spanberger wins in addition to Wexton. I did my bit for Spanberger’s campaign. I so want to see Dave Brat defeated. At the same time, I love Abigail S.

    @Fair Economist: I figure Rasmussen is just betting on the possibility that the Democrats don’t win the House–if they do, nobody cares what Rasmussen said, but if they don’t, Rasmussen can pull out those numbers and look like geniuses to innumerate people. I remember all the people after the 2016 election saying Rasmussen had been proven to be the most accurate poll.

    @Steeplejack: Late getting back to the thread, but thank you!

    I had never heard of white american cheese until now, but we do have a store that sells boar’s head, so I’m sure I will be able to get it there.
