Biden to the rescue.

Not even close, he's now firmly behind Sanders, whose popularity is rising fast. I'm curious to see what the polls will look like in the next few months and after the first debate.
He's not officially in the race yet. He's only going to enter when Hillary tanks.

Yet he's been on the polls since March...
So have others who aren't in the race.

That map is actually dated 2015 and lists Burma?!? Sorry. That tickled my funny bone. There's a Brit having a chuckle at the expense of the "dumb American" stereotype right now. Who published this Atlas?

Burma...

EDIT: Upon further inspection, Bank of America/Merrill-Lynch. That's just sad.
You'll see Burma shall rise again!

Not before Siam, damn it!

So, their poll numbers aren't relevant until they "officially" enter the race, even though the polls present them as already being in the race? Do you need Clinton to fall in popularity for some reason or what?

Actually the whole world needs her to fall in popularity along with Bush. You can't honestly want another Clinton or Bush in office, do you?

Most definitely not, but I don't need the polls to confirm my assumptions. My opinion of the polls is based on their result, not the other way around.

Wait, so manipulating the result of public opinion as a means to control public opinion should alter my opinion of the polls result? Is this seriously a thing now?

Quote:
The government of St. Louis County extended for at least 24 hours a state of emergency in Ferguson, Missouri, which has been the scene of protests a year after an unarmed black teenager was killed by a white police officer.

County Executive Steve Stenger extended the state of emergency in Ferguson, a suburb of the city of St. Louis, through at least Friday, said his spokeswoman, Allison Blood.

In consultation with police, Stenger put the state of emergency in place on Monday for Ferguson and surrounding areas after police officers shot and critically wounded a man in an exchange of gunfire Sunday night, marring what had been a day of peaceful demonstrations.

Protests since Monday have been mostly peaceful, and there were no arrests on Tuesday evening or Wednesday.

The killing of Michael Brown, 18, on Aug. 9, 2014, set off a nationwide movement on police treatment of minorities.

New York City was the scene of demonstrations against police brutality on Thursday.

Dozens gathered for a rally in Times Square and marched to a New York Police Department station, where members of activist group Artists 4 Justice led the crowd in chanting "I can't breathe," the last words of Eric Garner, a black man who died after a white police officer put him in a chokehold on New York's Staten Island.

Several parents of children killed by police officers implored the crowd to stand up against violence.

Grammy-nominated singer Janelle Monae and other artists participated in the march and performed a new song that includes the names of people who were killed by police, including Michael Brown.

There wouldn't be a 5th noise complaint.

There would have been shots fired before the 3rd complaint existed.

Nobody killed, but somebody would be injured.

Thing is, it would be an anti-gun activist who shoots somebody else.....

Pecan porter? Have you had such a brew? Sounds good, but pecan brown sounds better.

Honestly as long as we have this and whiskey it'll be a blast.

Maybe some type of cheesecake for dessert.
