(12,504 posts)and while the Convention bumps don't always last (although Ii surely do hope it does), this has to be giving Trump some serious heartburn.

(182,818 posts)I didn't know if it would hold. Today I read that the Sheriff's office in one GEORGIA country are intimidating black voters in their houses. This indicated to me that they ARE worried about Georgia.
Bill won Georgia in 1992.

(12,504 posts)I've just been a tad giddy that Utah is not bright red, any more. We've elected our first openly gay female mayor in Salt Lake City and Mia Love is in trouble. I don't anticipate Utah going Blue by election day, but man, there are changes in this wind.

(11,605 posts)I am not terribly optimistic that Hillary can win there. If any Democrat could have won there it was Obama, and even he couldn't win there (although he didn't really try). My concern is that the same people who didn't vote for Obama because of racism also won't vote for a woman, but Hillary probably won't have the same level of black turnout Obama did.

(47 posts)I feel as if Obama IS on the ballot, effectively. These two are closely joined at the hip, for better or worse. Obama will campaign as if he were on the ballot. Also I think white women will be an easier pick up this time around down south. But this is my wishful thinking...completely unscientific.
