    Not surprising since the state went after voter registration groups and such hard.

    Tracking this as we move closer to the general election will be interesting. My prediction is there will be 1,000,000 more registered republicans than registered democrats before November.

    My brother was erroneously purged a few years ago. I resolved it for him and got him back on the rolls, which kind of sucks seeing as how we cancel each other out every time.

    Okay, 950,000 registered republicans by November. Happy now?

    I'm not sure money is going to be Biden's problem, and I'm sure there is an element of "make the other guy who has money problems play defense" at work too. Ultimately, ad buys closer to the election will tell the story. Right now its all talk.

    There's only one solution. Let me pick your candidate. At least you know it wont be either of the top two. :D

    I wouldn't bet against that prediction. Republicans will have the advantage. Of course, there are several millions listed as NPA who are going to matter as well.

    Updated RCP projections have Trump winning 312 electoral votes at this stage.

    Looks like a bloodbath with all that red.

    We'd be far, far better off as a country had she won. In most cases, the dislike of her was visceral rather than based on issues and competence. No reasonable person can say having had Trump as president was good for America.

    The Cubans who originally came over were the elites. They had thrived under the Batista dictatorship, and they have thrived here. Their fear of communism in America is completely irrational.

    For the most part, posters who can't form reasonable arguments to serious posts hit funny.

    The "No Toss-up" poll is the least meaningful poll of the RCP polls. If a candidate is ahead but within the margin of error in a state the poll still considers that candidate the winner of the state's electoral votes although in fact the results indicate a statistical dead heat. This poll with 104 electoral college votes categorized as "toss ups" is probably more meaningful and even in that case it's still way too early to make a serious prediction.

    I don't disagree, but would be remiss not to laugh at this post.

    All it’s doing is treating it like election night where you win if you have even one more vote. It’s of limited use, especially so far out, but seeing how it changes over time, if at all, will be interesting.

    Sometimes, the position’s so fundamentally flawed or dishonest, it evokes a laugh, and so it ranks a laugh.

    Reminds me of the GOP projecting it can take back California every every election.
