    I did no toss ups and as of right now, this is how I see it. I was a bit surprised with the results.

    Florida is a toss up among a few others but I think it'll come down to turnout which I think will be low.

    Interesting Bobby....we have the EXACT same map except....Nevada.

    The Harry Reid GOTV machine is not to be underestimated. He will deliver Nevada for Hillary and either save or cement Hillary's victory.

    All you need to know is in my signature. Uhmm seriously though??

    You guys are nuts. This will not even be close. Hopefully the senate goes over to the Democrats also. I'm hoping for a liberal supreme court to further some needed change. After that I'm hoping the Republicans nominate someone worth a f**k and that person beats Hillary in four years. If the Republicans can't do that there is no hope for them. Perhaps that is best though and the party splinters into two and the Democrats do also. If Hillary is a double term that would be the Dems winning 7 out of 8 elections by popular vote.

    Seriously though Bobbythegreat? You read everything on here post a million times and you have that as an electoral map. ok........................

    I am hoping for a very impartial supreme court. Its not the supreme courts job to play politics. Its really sad people now think the supreme court should lean one way or another.

    When people lay out what an impartial Supreme Court looks like they are laying out a partisan one.

    That's very true and anything is possible in that crazy state. I wouldn't be surprised is more people vote there than are alive in that state.

    According to the recent polls there's VERY little chance of that. The most likely outcome is that the Democrats will gain 2 seats and the Republicans will be down to 52.

    I was kind of surprised by it too honestly. I mean, my map was pretty much what the polls say will happen with the one notable break from the current polls being that I gave Florida to Trump which is a total toss up.

    The election will come down to turnout but the numbers right now suggest a VERY close race.

    I'm still kicking myself for not driving down and taking advantage of that, times about 3 mattresses.

    I hope you sleep well, you jackass.

    I do, now that I have this mattress. When I first heard of the deal I read the fine print 10 times over because it sounded too good to be true.

    Comey tried to **** me over but I think I'm still good.

    Early returns in Nevada and Florida not looking good for the cat grabber. Maybe...just maybe he shouldn't have antagonized Hispanics from the get go and increasing their voter turnout by over 100%. He has a high chance of losing Ohio and could actually lose Arizona as well.

    But yeah keep going after Minnesota which hasn't gone to a Republican since the early 70s. That'll save you.

    My election prediction:

    In four years when Hillary is running for reelection, we will have spent the previous four years listening to Republicans try to resurrect Hillary's email as an issue and for four years they will have gained no real traction. But the base will have spent the previous four years frothing at the mouth over it.

    Will they still talk about Obamacare and filling in the 1-3 other vacant seats?

    I want to hate you right now, but I can't.

    You're smarter than me.

    I'm standing by my prediction from months ago that Clinton wins. I think an early voting edge along with polls showing her slide in the polls stopped will mean she hangs onto win. I'm not going to fill out a map though as I'm less certain about how the contested states will break out but she has far more paths to victory than Trump has.

    I'll give Trump his due and he had a pretty large rally today at MSP airport. A Republican hasn't won Minnesota in decades even though the last few elections many pundits claim it is getting more purple. I still doubt he wins this state though and even though it shows overall national strength this might've been a trip better for another state more in play.

    Trump gets embarrassed. In 10 years trump is synonymous with garbage.

    The Supreme Court has been conservative for decades from everything I have ever read. Otherwise perhaps gay people would have been able to get married before recently. It's coming though.
