Hello and welcome to the Bullard Podcast I'm your host Tim Miller. We've got a double dip today up in part two. We'll be

Suzanne Craig author of Lucky Loser about I bet you can guess who, an

investigative journalist in New York Times, the great Suzanne Craig, but first, my buddy Sam Stein, managing

editor of the bulwark, and he's managing it quite well. I don't know if you've been to the bulwark.com lately,

How you doing?

Oh good that's the first compliment you've paid me since I've come to the

bulwark so this feels like a good start to the podcast thanks.

Well I've got to do it live you know if I can't I can't I can't I can't pump you up

too much in person I'm gonna make you work for it it's been wonderful having you I want to

start with we have Polmania this morning you woke up to Polmania Oh my God. Too much. Yeah, Amy was on on

Tuesday and I and Amy was who I just I just bumped I'm in DC right now is

bumped into Amy Walter on the sidewalk you know just, just What happens in DC, yeah.

And we were just talking and, you know,

her point on Tuesday, which I think is right,

is that it's basically a 50-50 ratio.

You can call it a 60-40 race if you want,

like what's, if you're a data nerd,'s really the difference and you know I

press run that a little bit I'm a little bit more bullish than she is I think

which is unusual for me but then these polls come out this morning and all my

emotions start to get wrapped up in them.

So let me, I'm going to run through them very fast.
