yeah...  word is the african american vote wasn't turning out as hoped. Thus the last minute campaigning.  It could go... but likely to be offset by picking up North Carolina from the red column...as far as the firewalling goes and losing a traditional blue state. 

Nice to see my skills are up to snuff... calling NC 70-30 Clinton.. and word is based on the data and early voting/new voters getting registered to the party... those odds were pretty much on....

losing Michigan is likely to only damper the margin of victory... IF N.C goes as expected to Clinton.  He had to win it.. and still break the Clinton blue wall...

Well.....I didn't say DT fans....  I have mellowed damnit. Though I'm still forever gloating on that glorious forum massacre 

hahaha... office just called me.. to see if I could go back into work. Pfff.... Sorry.. on 2nd beer of a good many this evening...

anyhow...  for those new to what is going on here... or for our foreign friends....here is a great article on what to expect this evening...

I'll add one to this...  as part of the Virginia results.  Watch the result of Babs Comstock's house race.. one of the few (only haha) remaining Republican house members in the heavily blue DC suburbs of Virginia.  If she goes.. and her district is one f**king rich ass area and heavily white..... the House may well be in play.

Genesis fans ?

We are doing alright, thank you !

no surprises there...

Oh really?   You believe there is not a worse, more corrupt American woman than Clinton?   That's a bizarre thing to say coming from an intelligent person.

watching closely Comstock's district.... dead even.. 30 vote difference.. out of 39k votes..

while Clinton is smoking Trump there..

still early...

very early David....  take Virginia... wait till the full voting power of No Va comes in.. it was mentioned in that link I posted. Trump's 100k advantage will get flipped quickly once Fairfax country comes in.

No. Va is a 150k vote edge to Democrats...

same with N.C... urban/educated firewalls.... the sticks belong to the GOP.. and those (for some reason) are almost always counted first.
