You are so fortunate to be seeing your first Trump commercial

in late October.
Here in Ohio we've had way too many commercials way too long.
Now that my ballot has been mailed, I'll be switching away or muting commercials quicker than ever.

Mailed my Ohio absentee ballot at post office this afternoon.

Voted all D's, including a write-in endorsed by County Democratic Committee.
Left blank one Dem. who was dumb enough to attend a Trump rally & be photographed in his uniform behind the speaker Trump.

Next, I'll assist family member with an absentee ballot.

IIRC, the remarks re the Catholic Church were not written or spoken by Hillary

but by her staffer, Jen Palmieri to John Podesta.

There's a general understanding that Catholics can criticize Catholics, Jews can criticize Jews, and other denomination can criticize their own.
Of course, it's better if those call-outs remain within the body, but, apparently, in today's world, that's not going to happen.
In other words, keep the dirty laundry within the family.
Don't pay any attention to what the "Catholic League" has to say - that's old Bill Donahue and no one takes him seriously.

Kentucky - no one has checked in with a KY report.

From neighboring Ohio, it appears the Rand Paul is a shoe-in in KY.

I like P. G. Sittenfeld, but believe he's not quite ready for prime time.

His heart is in the right place, but he offended many Cinti Dems when he changed his vote re building of a streetcar immediately after being elected to city Council. ( He was against it before the election, as was the majority that was elected, and for it after the election. There are some long memories around here.

However, he has access to many donors and potential donors, and, hopefully, has a future in Ohio Dem politics.

Ohio. Not looking food for Strickland (D).

Portman has had a ton of money and TV ads for months.
I live in Portman's home territory - SW Ohio- and there are and have been many more Portman signs than anyone else.

It would be a lot of work. However, some stores not only highly value

their senior shoppers, they depend on seniors for a large part of their income.

A grocery where I frequently shop is located adjacent to a large senior housing complex. You can be sure it is important to keep those shoppers coming back.

Hopefully, the accident described in the OP is a wild card unlikely to be repeated in most cases.

I don't now about the legality of this promotion, but it would be great

if the winner announced he/she was giving the amount to the Clinton campaign.

It's worth a try.
