Really? Secondly, do those %'s play out evenly in ALL states? No, they do not. Don't take council of your fears. That's what they want you to do. Take council from the rational and the possible. This is not Weimar Germany.

I see this on both the left and the right. This need to go to extremes and work yourselves all into a tiz. It's not necessary, certainly not healthy and counter productive.
