Poll: Hillary Clinton Leads In Pennsylvania +9

More good news for Hillary Clinton today as the latest Franklin & Marshall College Poll shows her now leading Republican Donald Trump by 9 points in Pennsylvania.

The survey shows Clinton with 47% support versus Trump’s 38%. Libertarian Gary Johnson receives 5%, while Green Party candidate Jill Stein registers 0% support.

Many see Pennsylvania and Virginia as Clinton’s “firewall” keeping Trump from the necessary 270 electoral college votes.

Even if you give Trump Ohio, Iowa and Florida (which Obama won) from the 2012 results, he still can’t get across the goal line.

IKEA Features Mixed-Race Same-Sex Couple In New Ad

With a new ad campaign that asks the question, “Where did the American Dream go?” Ikea looks to focus more on it’s customers – including a mixed-race same-sex couple at home – and less on actual merchandise.

Not only that, but there’s a clear nod to marriage equality with a flag flying in the background which reads, “All homes are created equal.”

More from AdWeek:

“The idea of asking where did the American dream go was not to show that it went away,” explained Leslie Stone, director of strategic services for Ogilvy, the shop behind the creative work, “but that people are living it every day in diverse ways.”

“There are so many different ways that Americans live—multigenerational, gay parents, etc.—that define the real portrait of the America that’s really out there,” Stone said. “If we’d put across 20 different living situations, they’d all be equally powerful.”

Don’t Miss The Vice-Presidential Debate Tonight At 9PM ET/6PM PT

Make sure you’re sitting in front of the TV tonight for the one and only Vice-Presidential Debate between Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence.

Among many other issues that separate the two presidential tickets (including the lack of class on the GOP side) you can check out where the veep candidates stand on LGBTQ issues.

As many folks know, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is famously anti-LGBTQ.

Some details from the Human Rights Campaign:

Pence became a national disgrace in 2015, for his “license to discriminate” bill that could have allowed businesses to deny service to LGBTQ people — and subsequently defending the bill over an outcry from the business community and a majority of Hoosier voters. In a now notorious interview with ABC last year, Pence refused to answer eight separate times when asked whether businesses should be able to discriminate against LGBTQ people.

Pence also opposes marriage equality and Department of Education guidelines supporting transgender students. When serving in Congress, he voted against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, calling it a “radical social agenda.”

Tonight’s debate will air live on all of the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC) as well as C-SPAN and cable news channels such as CNN, Fox News, Fox Business Network, and MSNBC. Spanish-language networks Telemundo and Univision will also air the debate.

Laugh Of The Day: Michelle Obama

First Lady Michelle Obama trolled GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump with a little “is this mic on” action while stumping for Hillary Clinton today.

Snork!

“I’ve watched her – when she gets knocked down, she doesn’t complain. She doesn’t cry fowl (tapping the microphone). NO, she gets right back up.”

You’ll recall the Trumpster blamed part of his poor performance at the first presidential debate on a ‘faulty mic,’ hinting that Hillary sabotaged him.

Smooth, Michelle, smooth.

Libertarian Gary Johnson: Not Knowing Where Countries Are Would Help Us Stay Out Of Wars

Speaking with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell this morning, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson defended his latest on-air flub of not being able to name a current foreign leader he admires by asserting that not knowing where countries are could help keep the U.S. out of wars.

What???

“The fact that somebody can dot the i’s and cross the t’s on a foreign leader or a geographic location then allows them to put our military in harm’s way.”

He also said our soldiers have PTSD because: “It’s because we elect people who can can dot the i’s and cross the t’s on these names and geographic locations.”

Watch below.

Twitter was not impressed:

WikiLeaks Punks Trump Followers – No #OctoberSurprise

A Tuesday morning WikiLeaks event in Berlin did not produce the “#OctoberSurprise” to derail Democrat Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign that many Trump followers were hoping for, but Julian Assange said he would release more documents before Election Day.

From The Daily Beast:

A Tuesday morning press conference by WikiLeaks, which Clinton antagonists and conspiracy theorists had hoped would spell the beginning of the end of her presidential campaign, turned out to be a celebration-cum-infomercial for the website, which celebrates its 10th anniversary today and is promoting a new book.

Either WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, never really had the goods on Clinton, or Donald Trump and his supporters just got wickedly trolled.

For months, WikiLeaks has been hinting that it would release damaging documents about Clinton in the home stretch of the presidential campaign. The group had posted embarrassing emails stolen by hackers from the Democratic National Committee in July, leaving the world wondering, what else does Assange have in his hard drive?

Egged on by the apparently unfounded claims of Trump adviser Roger Stone that WikiLeaks had a campaign-ending document dump in store, anticipation reached a fever pitch. According to Google, the top trending question about Trump’s opponent on Monday was “What could WikiLeaks have on Clinton?”

Turns out, probably not much. There was no spectacular release of private emails. No bombshells about the Clinton Foundation or brain tumors. Instead, Assange and some of his WikiLeaks colleagues used the press conference to make a pitch for donations and to note the remarkable quantity of the site’s work—10 million documents published, containing more than 10 billion words, which the group claims is “more secret documents than the rest of the world’s media combined.”

Just a few reactions from Twitter:
