There is only One toss-up State

[cthulu2016]

Looking at Nate Silver's map there is only one state that is not at least 2:1 (66.6%) for one candidate or the other.

It is the state voted most likely to generate a "34 year-old grandmother trades newborn grand-daughter to unlicensed doctor for Botox treatments" news story.

It is the only state where they find a headless corpse, and then find the head... but have to run tests to make sure the head matches the body before confirming that because finding a head isn't all that uncommon.

Good 'ole Florida.

And thank God we probably don't need Florida's EV this year because election day is shaping up to be a mess there thanks to Governor Scott.

1. I believe that Obama is...

up in Florida, too. And Nate's new numbers are very encouraging, as well.

2. But it sure would be nice to have those electoral votes.

3. Very Funny

Especially the headless corpse.

Any who, how can we win FL? Most polls show Robme winning. We need to get out the vote. I have been on a phone bank today, have you?

4. The problem in Florida is not only getting out the vote

But getting those votes counted, if they're for O.

5. Obama did manage to win it in 2008.

6. Charlie Christ was governor in 2008...

...and became persona non grata with his fellow Repugs by allowing the vote to proceed without interference. The new Repug governor isn't making the same mistake, but is throwing out all the roadblocks to ensure the Wrong Kind Of People will be discouraged from voting.
