Some positive news to help us all sleep well tonight

Frank Luntz -- certainly no liberal icon -- tweeted this update on polling since the Comey announcement. Let's hope this lack of impact continues all this week.

Basically he says in the 8 states and national polls run since Comey's release, "don't show a shift yet."

best highlight: YouGov poll of PA -- unchanged (+8 Clinton) and 2 up in CO, now +3 Clinton from +1 in previous poll. Also Emerson WI poll -- still +6 Clinton, unchanged from previous poll.

But I can tell you who isn't sleeping well tonight:

James Comey, who no doubt realizes he might face charges of having broken federal law. And no matter how things turn out in the end, he's going to be on the receiving end of a shit-storm for a long time to come.

Trump supporters who have realized that he's STILL toast, and NOTHING is going to change that.

Republicans who have realized that this news byte has triggered Democrats to rally around their nominee more passionately than ever. HRC supporters are donating more, committing to more hours of GOTV efforts, and many fence-sitters have come over to the Hill side out of sheer pique.

SOME people won't be getting a good night's sleep - but I ain't among them.

A lot of people out there are echoing Sanders and are sick of the GD emails, already. If there was any "there" there, it would have been found on her private server, not in a fishing expedition on an alleged perv's laptop.

A hell of a lot of people know a witch hunt when they see it. The rest were already stupidly voting for Trump.

I am especially glad the hear about Wisconsin, which I was worried about.

The Colorado poll is probably an outlier, as most polls have up there by even more. And she won the outlier too.

A e-mail with a document stamped classified across the top of it before it would change a thing.then since these are not Hillary's e-mails how would they prove she ever seen them?...that's why Comey is an idiot.

Not only can we see bullshit for what it is but we can Smell it and not a single one of us like that smell.
