Barely paying attention to football today, while checking my watch waiting for a freaking Iowa poll to come out. The version of me 20 years ago would never have believed that.

So what will they do about the water in the panhandle and other areas of the country that has naturally occurring fluoride in it?  Fluoride's blocking of cavities in teeth was observed after dentists in areas with high naturally occurring fluoride noticed that their patients had far fewer cavities.  Too much fluoride weakens teeth and bones, but small amounts strengthen them.  Are they also planning to remove it from toothpaste or mouthwash?  

Note: I personally do not advocate for water systems to add fluoride to drinking water, but only because the equipment is expensive and the fluorosilicic acid that is added is dangerous to work with and eats equipment up.  It doesn't have the benefits to outweigh the costs.  In my opinion.

Fun story. My grandfather (a classic conservative republican) was a dentist and the mayor of a mid size city in Texas in the 70s. During his stint as mayor, he pushed through a policy to add fluoride to the city water. I remember him telling me that the local yokels were convinced he was poisoning the city. Over 50 years later, that same city will overwhelmingly vote to go back in time. Incredible

Got dibs. I saw what she does to that chair at her shows, from about 30 feet away, and she can do the same on my face. Respectfully of course.  My wife would high five me.

Agreed. Next thing he'll say is that dentists need their own schools.

Also, y'all need to lay off RFK Jr. He knows that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

That is a badass advertisement. Damn. 

I'd agree and that gives me a lot of peace.  She's run most everything perfectly the entire time.  If she loses, we are beyond fucked and no need to second guess anything.

What worries me is that if Trump does win and a bunch of first time voters did come out to vote, they'll possibly give up on the next time.

  • Democrat Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump in Iowa 47% to 44%, a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows.
  • A victory for Harris would be a shocking development after Iowa has swung aggressively to the right in recent elections, delivering Trump solid victories in 2016 and 2020.
  • The poll shows that women — particularly those who are older or are politically independent — are driving the late shift toward Harris.
  • Trump continues to lead with his core base of support: men, evangelicals, rural residents and those without a college degree.

Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump in Iowa — a startling reversal for Democrats and Republicans who have all but written off the state’s presidential contest as a certain Trump victory.  

A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Vice President Harris leading former President Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters just days before a high-stakes election that appears deadlocked in key battleground states.  

The results follow a September Iowa Poll that showed Trump with a 4-point lead over Harris and a June Iowa Poll showing him with an 18-point lead over Democratic President Joe Biden, who was the presumed Democratic nominee at the time.  

“It’s hard for anybody to say they saw this coming,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co. “She has clearly leaped into a leading position.”

So... you said Trump up 4-5 would indicate a great day for Kamala and Trump up 8-10 means he likely wins. What does Kamala up 3 mean? Hell freezing over?
