and that certainly means she's lacking that special "spark".

Did you read the memoir? Or are you relying on something written in a right-wing blog? Where is her apology? I'm not necessarily doubting you. But in my experience this kind of stuff is seldom coming from even a secondary source. She apologized to the man who was misidentified as her attacker based on circumstantial clues in her memoir. "To be very clear, “Barry” is a pseudonym, not the name of the man who assaulted me, and any resemblance to a person with this name is an unfortunate and surreal coincidence. I am sorry about all he has experienced." So basically it is an ugly, misogynist lie to say that she had consensual sex and later called that sex act a rape. An mean-spirited distortion of facts that should be retracted by the misinformed poster who made it.

For the Record
I did not watch any of the Two National Conventions this year and this marked the first time in my life that I did not watch BOTH Democratic and Republican Conventions because there are better things to watch on TV in the first place!

I've watched both every since I was a kid.
Even though I'm a Democrat, I want to see what the other side is saying as well.
Loved tonight's all star line up of speakers, from Tim Kaine to Joe Biden to Michael Bloomberg and finally Barack himself.

I hate political speeches, from either side of the aisle. They take forever to say things that either end up not being true, or to make promises they obviously won't keep. I do enjoy reading the independent fact checking the next day to find out how much each side got right or wrong though.

Go to Fivethirtyeight itself. Silver's analysis is nuanced and you should read it as opposed to a third-party analysis.

I've been checking that daily. It's happening slowly, but Trump's lead in the "Now-Cast" has been dropping. Just between yesterday and today, for example, PA has gone from red to blue. Conversely, the "Polls plus forecast" option has Clinton winning pretty handily, with the margin of victory growing considerably during the DNC.

"...And the American dream is something that no wall will ever contain".
That was an awesome speech.

For the RecordI did not watch any of the Two National Conventions this year and this marked the first time in my life that I did not watch BOTH Democratic and Republican Conventions because there are better things to watch on TV in the first place! you should make an effort to pull up and view a couple of the DNC speeches. several were absolutely spectacular. if you had to watch just 5?. . go for: Michelle Obama Hillary Clinton Joe Biden President Obama Michael Bloomberg there were a BUNCH of great ones. . but these were the top 5, in my opinion. (and no, there were really no speeches worth your time from the RNC).
