Very curious how much he wins by. 2001 gubernatorial race: 2008 Senate Race: 2014 Senate Race: In 2014, he was polling so far ahead but ended up winning by less than a point. In all honestly, I feel 2014 was a precursor to 2016 -- Republican underestimated, polling off in some states for the same reason it was in 2016, mostly in Appalachia and the upper midwest. Whereas we haven't seen these issues since 2017.

I think it'll be easier to keep up with a separate one. I honestly don't mind creating one, even if it's kind of a makeshift one (in the process of moving and this week is CRAZY).

I admittedly didn't look at them much, if at all. Perhaps I should incorporate them next time. I mostly followed 538, NYT Upshot, RCP, WaPo and a bunch of people associated or having past associations with them. And Ralston for Nevada.

That's the thing: I get talked down to a lot when I dismantle their silly conspiracy theories or try to show them where their anger could be directed (ex: a former friend of mine was all angry the NFL did nothing to celebrate first responders in early September but unfriended me after I told her she should be made at Trump, who was being accused by FDNY of stealing money from that fund, and Giuliani, who lied about the air quality there which has led to so many of them suffering). First she laughs that I must have meant to reply to someone else. Then it's "please.... GO AWAY" She used to be my barber 20 years ago. Eventually I realized she was an idiot. Sucks, but the beat goes on. It'd be nice if I weren't talked down to. THEN maybe I'd consider contemplating the notion of considering voting Republican.

So this is 2020: As a comparison, this was 2016:

We have CNN on in the newsroom and the Fauci story comes up frequently as well as what the candidates are doing. With the Cabinet, that's a second term purge which is not as concerning as FBI/Fauci to me (which he doesn't have the authority to fire in the latter's case).

Every time I see a tweet that says, "The media isn't talking about ," I'm always blasted by CNN or NPR or WaPo on those issues.

Just about to post this. Very happy to see.

Brah, Clinton could have won Florida and she still would have lost the election.

It's so hard to separate what I want to happen versus what I think is likelier to happen, especially because of the outside chance that Montana and Indiana are much closer than many expect (Indiana still with a good lead for Trump, Montana tightening for Biden in October), and also because Iowa and Ohio are much harder wins than Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Michigan.

More non-voters getting out to vote Biden 'It's too important now': Record turnout, Black voters fuel Democratic hopes in Georgia WWW.NBCNEWS.COM An influx of newly registered voters, most of them Black, could make Joe Biden the first Democratic presidential nominee to carry the state since 1992.

lol

Again, this isn't an, "I told you!" because the votes haven't all been counted. I'm not gonna demean anyone for being skeptical of Texas; I just think there's plenty of reason to believe it'll be close, and that a Biden win would be a shock to the nation but not necessarily a shocking outcome, if that makes sense.

While we were walking on the beach a few weekends ago, the lady and I saw etched into the sand, "Settle for Biden 2020." That's her slogan this year.

Media's doing a very good job prepping people for how Election Day actually works, when votes are certified, and how long it typically takes states to count the votes.

AZ is a different beast from Florida. Past two elections, Dems were underestimated in AZ and overestimated in FL. Could be the same again, but AZ was not like the Rust Belt or else we'd be talking about McSally beating Sinema. Plus the diversity of the Hispanic vote is different in FL than AZ.

He clarifies more. Again, I didn't watch the segment, but I'm pretty sure he probably talked in-depth about the uncertainties.

It's not anymore than Indiana and Virginia and North Carolina were pipe dreams for Dems in 08 or Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were pipe dreams for Reps. Competitive, but not impossible states. Republicans wouldn't push to throw out 100k ballots if they thought it was a pipe dream. There are always states that are considered fool's gold until they're not. I'm not saying expect Biden to win. But it's going to be close in Texas. Maybe it's 3 - 4 points close, but it'll be close.

Yes, though I think their point is they won't make a huge difference in the state totals. Honestly, I don't think it matters anymore. I'll definitely post polls as I see them, but we have a pretty good idea of where the states stand.

I didn't see the segment, but this is Dave Wasserman's electoral prediction: Technically 320 since NH wasn't colored yet, but he has Nebraska's 2nd district going for Biden, Arizona and Georgia flipping, and interestingly, OH and FL going red but not being the decider in the election, which is one of many possibilities.
