Here's the reason I am not yet nervous (kinda-sorta) about Clinton losing per -NYT: If she won Virginia and the states carried by Mr. Obama where she’s not airing advertisements (including Michigan, Maine, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), she would have 260 electoral votes — just short of the 270 needed to win. She could win with Ohio or North Carolina or Florida. If she lost all of those three states, she could win with any two of Colorado, Nevada, Iowa and New Hampshire.

I think she wins them all.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
