AZ is McCain's state and they already did not like Trump out there before the Atlantic piece came out, and Biden/Harris is tailor made to attract that type of moderate voter who wants a return to stability. Kelly is going to destroy McSally in the Senate race.

MI is showing double digits in many polls and is the most blue state of that region.

PA is showing small but consistent polling leads. I just can't see 'Scranton Joe' losing his birth state.

If we win those states, game over (and I do think we'll win a few more states like FL).

But we're going to have to work very hard; so far I think Joe/Kamala have run a solid campaign.

PA and FL are what worries me the most. FL will be rigged for Trump and DeSantis will play dirty games.

To your point about "Scranton Joe" you have to realize that PA is very red outside of Philly and Pitt. We (PA residents) don't call it Pennsyltucky for nothing. PA is going to be a dog fight.

that "Pennsylvania is basicallly 'Alabama' between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia."

PA polling is accurate I think and Joe will do better with the white working class as well as urban/black voters than Hillary did (who only lost PA very narrowly).

As long as we win AZ, MN, WI, MI and PA - we can afford to lose FL.



Ultimately we just have to run a strong campaign as if we were tied, and I think so far we've done a good job.

The VP rollout went well, the convention went well, Joe successfully refuted Trump's 'law and order' attack, etc. And Trump will lose votes over the Atlantic piece - which works because it is a 'swiftboat' type of attack that hits at his perceived strength.

DeSantis is going to deliver Florida by any means necessary.

The amoral Republicans are going to cheat like crazy. They always parade around like they are the saintly quality honest individuals when in fact they’re just a bunch of fucking cheating lying dirtbags.

Pa is going to be a real tossup IMO.. It will depends on Dems going out to vote.
