    If this was an Obama third term vs Hillary vs Trump, Obama would win in a land slide. That's how pathetic this race is that majority of Americans would rather break tradition and elect a third term president.

    I don't think Obama wants to do another term, he aged like 20 years in 8

    Wish they could just have the election today and get it over with. I don't want to endure another 3 months of Trump on the news.

    Which is why I'm surprised Biden didn't run. He would have dominated.

    But where is he going to find time to instill martial law, sharia law and confiscate all firearms?

    Times ticking for Obama. He only has months to enact all his policy desires.

    Basically all election news is the stupid statement of the day by Trump and reactions to it..

    As a recovering political junkie, I would've loved this time of year in the past. Now, I just want it over.

    I can't tell if he's kicking himself or celebrating his decision. I could see where he's just livid because he knows he'd be leading right now with much less of the baggage and doubt that Hillary, despite the lead in the polls, gives us. Or, he's saying "F*** y'all, I'm out!"

    Hillary with a commanding lead there, as well as Virginia. Pretty crazy. I'd feel better about it if there was a month to go, though.

    I want no part of that North Carolina BBQ. They should go to East or Central Texas for lessons. Pork? Give me a mess of pork ribs and I'm a happy camper, but that pulled pork stuff? Yuck! I'll be happy when Hillary takes the state, though.

    GOT 2016 election promo ads. Cercei and her supporters are obvious.

    This is what the left think their leader is...

    This is what she really is ....

    Is there an actual correlation between the worse a state is economically and educationally voting at a higher percentage of the population for a republican president?

    Here is another list that has little to do with voting but correlates better with your list. (Hint, 95% of voters of this group vote for a certain party)

    1 Mississippi 1,074,200 37.30%
    2 Louisiana 1,506,534 32.4%
    3 Georgia 3,150,435 31.4%
    4 Maryland 1,798,593 30.1%
    5 South Carolina 1,290,684 28.48%
    6 Alabama 1,251,311 26.38%
    7 North Carolina 2,048,628 21.60%
    8 Delaware 191,814 20.95%
    9 Virginia 1,551,399 19.91%
    10 Tennessee 1,055,689 16.78%

    Your list does not account for COL. Because you know, California and New York will be at the top... even though someone making 50k a year in those states will be impoverished.
