    I wanna say you can call it for Clinton after she wins New Hampshire, because if she does fine there then she isn't struggling enough for the actual key states to be losses, but I'll leave it off the list to be safe.

    Election is over when Clinton wins any of the following, from least to most likely for her:

    Florida, North Carolina, a complete set of PA-MI-WI-VA.

    Ohio doesn't make the list just because she will probably have already won one of the others if she wins there.

    I don't start looking into fallout shelters unless Trump breaks through in one of that four-state parlay of upper Midwest blue states.
     
  2. I held my nose and voted for Clinton.
    Won't matter though. I am in a dead-red Trump state.
    I think Clinton is the likely winner.
    I am sure by Wednesday morning the majority of the county will NOT be happy (no matter who wins).
    Honestly, I think Clinton will be a decent president.
    But she's wholly incapable of telling the truth and dislikes the media. But I don't worry about going to war with Russia or alienating every ally we have in the free world

    I still wince at that one. If I remember correctly, Beebe was knocked out of the game.

    Would that hit be illegal today?

    As of right now, I think Clinton has it with electoral votes to spare. But what I wonder/worry about is if we live in an era where something crazy and bullshit could go viral at the last minute and shift the thing.

    I think it's going to be an early night. Clinton wins NH, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida and the 2nd Maine. After that, the only state she has to grab to make 270 between there and the Pacific is Illinois.

    Yes, I'm planning to pop a couple bottles of Moet around 8 pm ET.

    I think he was knocked out, but came back in. Beebe seemed to take three or four of those a season. He was the NFL's Black Knight.
    And it was a clean hit. The DB didn't even hit him, really. He just got under him and physics took care of the rest.

    I was just thinking it might be, in today's modern rules, hitting a defenseless receiver.

    Then why hasn't she been truly busted on it yet?

    Hell, even if you are right, Trump is every bit as toxic.

    This x10000000.

    I am fairly certain Clinton is going to win, but she's not getting my help to do so. She frankly doesn't deserve it.

    You really shouldn't worry about having to wave goodbye. Your version of progressive America is definitely winning and in a lot of ways -- especially in winding down the culture wars -- that's a wonderful thing.

    Now we just need to figure out how we're going to afford the rest of it. Simply taxing the shit out of rich people won't get us even close.
