Huge at least in that it's probably necessary at this point

If you are a Republican you have to win FL and OH, see George W & Trump. If you are Democrats Bill Clinton or Barack Obama you win by more than the 47 electoral college votes of FL & OH thereby not technically needing those states.

Off topic. I followed your posts about pitching in the early 2010s and then, I guess, somehow never posted again in the same forums as you. How did it turn out? I'm really curious.

[and apologies if you find that intrusive - I lurk-followed the thread and was rooting for you

Lots of mods are tripping off Harris's for profit prisons and stance on MJ. She was a horrible choice. Possible worse than Biden.

again, she was terrible, he should have adopted a complete moderate ticket 100% and he would have drowned trump.

yet I got blasted for saying his VP pick didnt matter. glad those kids are in bed now

Wouldn't exit polls in general be a higher % of conservatives this year? Not a lot of exit polls for mailing in a ballot.

It's unlikely, but it's not a Biden lock.

Now that Biden has held NH, if he holds NV then he does have a path to winning while dropping one of the upper Midwest states.

Vegas got hit hard by unemployment. Trump got them $300 x 3 with that EO, and it hit bank accounts last week.

Exit polls even more highly skewed R than usual this year - assume his net gain/loss is around 0 with all groups here.

Also, it’s possible for people to vote for a guy who is racist against them. Not optimal if you ask me tho.

I would think a certain percentage of those voters are protestor voters who think the D's take them for granted, and the defund the police was really bad politics.
