Hamilton County in Indiana was on the radar for the 538 podcast.. not for Indiana of course but an indicator for other states/areas.

Wow, I hadn't even seen that. I'd rather use my lucky guess on lottery numbers...

As per usual, we will dedicate one thread for dispassionate election night analysis, without political disagreement or policy debate. Didn't try to change minds in this thread, just discuss what's happening.

I'll start where we always start: which early results are you looking at to give you an idea the direction things might be going?

Hamilton County. Biden did far better there than Clinton and mirrored results around the nation, suburbs did much better for Ds. In purple states, they went blue. If Harris equals Biden in Hamilton, it may be a sign she will do well in suburbs/exburbs nationwide. She needs to at least equal Biden.

Beat me to it.

I agree entirely, an online Zogby poll is worthless.

But you didn't claim it to be worthless in the past, https://indiana.forums.rivals.com/threads/rona-j-trump.201381/post-3011635

Fair point Marv. Zogby used to be a great pollster but that was like 20 years ago.

Gotta be NC and GA right? GA precounts mail and early votes.

In the People’s Republic of Pennsylvania I only have one polling place and am not allowed to vote at others. Line was 35 min. Bottleneck is the lady with the book checking people in. Stupid system. Need two book ladies.

Wow a single check in? When I worked at Monroe Co we had 4 checkers,2 Dems and 2 Pubs...And the check in was via computer...

Do Carmelites vote themselves or send the gardener to do it for them?

Can’t.

Gardener’s illegal.

Spoiler - I still mow my own grass and pull my own weeds.

larsIU said:

Wife and I drove around Carmel last night doing a smell test on signs. Shockingly few signs at all and those yards with signs were for state/local races.

Seems like everybody in Carmel is embarrassed about their vote for one reason or another. Which is a really shitty situation to be in.

No way you hope you’re wrong. You wouldn’t be able to say told you so in that squealy little piglet voice. Get lost Bstupid08. You’re not from here.

Make it make sense. For bball we tune into Selection Sunday as a fringe bubble team hoping an analyst just argues something on our behalf but knowing full well, we won't get our name called in a field of SIXTY-FOUR. Yet football of all sports selects just 12 and we are all but a lock to be included in this week's initial rankings.

Click to expand...

Agree. And conventional thinking is it takes much longer to build a football team than a basketball team, and the basketball team has all the advantages in the world to attract talent.

Everything suggests it will be a good night. Almost impossible to see a scenario where NC, GA, and AZ are even close. We don't have any data on the Rust Belt other than the Dems didn't come close to the firewall they said they needed to have a chance in PA. By all accounts, rural turnout in those states is off the charts.

This is AZ today. Pubs dominated early voting too. Does anyone think these things just happen in a vacuum?

Starbucks. We probably have more of them than voting places (over 16,000).

Free coffee with your vote. Gets people in the door. Win-win.

Last 20 years
Purdue - 454 wins
IU - 376 win

Pretty significant difference. Winning makes a fanbase much more enjoyable especially while not living in the past.
Continue with the apathy and those memories from yesteryear!

How would you know if your fanbase is enjoyable? You live here dipshit. Go back home and enjoy.

Yes, I was at the Maryland game in that suite. It's great. I'm also waiting to hear if that same deal can be made this week. Let's just say, I have a close "family member" who works for a former IU dignitary and is likely not using his 4 tickets for this game, due to a function he has to attend Saturday afternoon. Hope the weather is better than the Maryland game, though, because we ended up watching most of the game from inside and didn't get to enjoy that amazing view just above the field (I had my 8 year old with me and he wanted to stay indoors).
