My younger years in Virginia were always nail biters because of that. For instance in 2016, Drumph was ahead by 5% until NorVa dropped their counts.

May swing a few more times. Panhandle closed and bumped the rumpers, but Miami/Dade is still around 30% reporting, and has huge populations.

Still too early.

A buddy from Florida just called me to sooth my mind

He said what you said, and it's that there's a LOT of big blue counties haven't been counted yet. He said he feels good about Florida. I'm a nervous wreck. I'm here in California

I'll defer to my buddy ....

15. Florida rural counties are showing up like a presidential year for Trump

That's what I was concerned about. This is identical to 2016 when everything looked fine for Hillary until 8 PM.

I still think we might hold on narrowly.

But any polling with 3+ margins in Florida is a laughable poll.

Steve Schale is disturbingly quiet on twitter, just like this point in 2016.

Bottom line, Republicans are maximizing Florida better than we are. If we win it is solely due to independents favoring our side.

The red county vote is close to exhausted. Lots of blue county vote still to come.

There is a reason Steve Schale hasn't tweeted for 45 minutes. He is every bit as stunned at the Florida rural turnout and percentages as he was in 2016.

I suppose you still believe the genius polls giving Nelson the lead of 3-7 points?

If we win it's incredibly close but Florida races very seldom change hands after 8:45 PM

Gillum will lose.
It's purely a race thing. He had the excitement, but less votes than Nelson on a straight D ticket.

Old white Dems would vote for Bob Graham's daughter, but not Andrew Gillum.
