'The View' co-host Sunny Hostin under fire for white women jab

Image
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin is under fire for likening white women who vote Republican to “roaches voting for Raid.” Hostin, 54, made the controversial comment on Thursday’s episode of the ABC daytime show as she and her co-hosts discussed next week’s midterm elections. Hostin expressed surprise that women are planning to cast their ballots for lawmakers who celebrated the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. “I read a poll just yesterday that white, Republican, suburban women are now going to vote Republican. It’s almost like roaches voting for Raid, right?” Hostin remarked. Her comparison was rejected by Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who angrily snapped, “That’s insulting to the voter!” [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhXygpyqPkY[/embed] Hostin’s comparison was rejected by Republican co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin (right). who angrily snapped, “That’s insulting to the voter!” ABC Hostin’s remark sparked cont...

Clyde Shavers' father accuses him of lying about military record

Image
A Democratic candidate for the state House in Washington is involved in an ongoing feud with his family about the veracity of his military service. The father of Clyde Shavers, Democratic candidate for Washington state’s 10th Legislative District, claims in a recently published letter that his son lied about the details of his service in the U.S. Navy, according to  local outlet Herald Net . Clyde Shavers has run on a platform emphasizing his service in the U.S. Navy, claiming to have been installed as a nuclear submarine officer — a position which requires a great amount of training and three separate courses. “Clyde was never a submarine officer, not even for a day,” Brett Shavers wrote. Brett Shavers, a former Marine, went on to dismiss any notions that his son served proudly in the military, going so far as to say Clyde Shavers has a “disdain” for enlisted se...

How you can tell which polls to trust — and why we need to fix our broken system

Image
The 2022 elections have seen us buried under hundreds of polls at the same time more and more of us are skeptical of them. Why is it that many polls seem to be getting things wrong more than before and how can we sort out the wheat from the chaff? Always take into account the all-important “margin of error,” which can sometimes range above 4%. Don’t put too much trust in any poll that surveys only a few hundred voters. And a poll of likely voters is better than one of “registered voters.” Even sampling registered voters who say they will vote in this midterm election but didn’t vote in the high-turnout 2020 presidential race is talking to people who are unlikely to actually vote this time. Recognize that polls are now harder to take. Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst at Tausi Insider, admitted last month that only 0.4% of attempted phone calls for the latest Times/Siena College poll yielded a completed interview. Cohn worries that many Republican...

Upstate Dems holding slight lead ahead of election day: polls

Image
Two Democrats in battleground upstate Congressional districts held small but notable leads over their Republican rivals ahead of election day, according to a pair of new polls. Josh Riley, an attorney from Endicott, was leading his GOP rival , Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro 48% to 43% in the sprawling 19th district, which stretches across Columbia, Greene, Delaware Broome, Tioga counties, according to a Spectrum News 1/Siena College survey published Friday. Though the numbers were within the poll’s margin of error, Riley’s lead widened with independent voters, where he bested Molinaro 48% to 36%. But in a hopeful sign for Molinaro, 49% of district voters said they wanted to see Republicans take back control of the House of Representatives, compared to just 45% who said they wished it to stay in Democratic hands. “It’s a district that tends to tilt a little bit Democratic, but that remains to be seen if that’s what happens come Election...
