Biden campaign "confident" they will win Nevada and Pennsylvania; GA. 'leaning,' AZ 'won'.

Yamiche Alcindor @Yamiche 2m
Biden campaign manager @jomalleydillon said Biden campaign is "confident" that they will win Nevada and Pennsylvania.

She said she expects NV total to fluctuate but that their data has VP up by 8. She expects NV to be called by today, which by AP's count would put Biden at 270.

The Biden Campaign is taking the media and publicity High Ground just like Shrub did on 2000 re Florida being called.

So yes, Arizona is a legitimate claim.

I know PA politics. I live them every day, and have for the last 20 years.

The players making the projections know PA intimately and know their stuff. They play hardball.

No boldness about it - it is a solid projection extremely likely to hold true. I'd give it 98%.

already won.

That it's still in play is obviously a point of some contention, but the OP or Biden campaign should NOT be read here as lacking confidence in AZ, but already banking it (wisely or not).

I love the 'revenge of McCain' storyline.

Are there any good pics of McCain giving the 'thumbs-down' re: the ACA vote other than that one overhead shot from like a video camera we've all seen?

I want to make a meme ...

I think the results lean Biden, but we don't know the composition of the outsiding votes. If they continue to lean heavily Trump, Biden could be in trouble. But that's a bit of a stretch.

What's good for the goose...

See Rethugs, there are repercussions for your actions...even 20 years later.

Revenge tastes sweet.
