Today's EV breakout 352-186. Iowa, South Carolina and Mississippi BARELY RED!!!

http://www.electoral-vote.com/

WOWZA!

It would be awesome to win a few of those Deep South States! (other than Florida which tends to be purple).

Not sure what is up with the Senate Poll. Feingold is a shoo-in to win his senate seat but a poll has Johnson at a 1pt advantage. I'm thinking that's skewed by the right wing somehow and a fluke.

Simply based on the fact that they have Wisconsin leaning red and Missouri leaning blue in their senate projections.

Unlike 538 that combines the polls. This site just takes the most recent one.

Latest polls show Burr with only .8 + over Ross--on average

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/senate/nc/north_carolina_senate_burr_vs_d_ross-5693.html

A great Dem turnout here could give it to Ross.

Plus Cooper (Gov race) is up by as much as 7 points and Hillary is up, too, by an average of 2.6 and in one poll, as much as 6!

we need at least 50 seats so we can have the majority.
