One of the faults of Nate's model - it does not handle dynamic situations.

On Edit: I think this is the base map for tomorrow. There may be a surprise or two with Ohio, Arizona and/or the the two single EV zones in NE and ME, but for the most part this is it.

Bayh is dying in IN, MO is slipping away and NC seems to have doubled down on Burr.

The upside is we're probably protecting Reid's seat, picking up seats in WI and IL and PA. Hopefully we'll get NH too. But we need one more.

Rubio was running away with it, but a Dem surge is coming on strong. It all depends on Hillary's performance and if her coat tails are long enough to overcome Rubio's advantages there.

Because of that volatility, I left FL off the list.

But if we pick up that Senate seat, stick a fork in the GOP, its OVER!

North Carolina liked when Burr said he'll fight any Hillary SC appt. NC must like having two worthless Senators. As for Indiana? "Two Democrat senators? Hell no! We're Indiana!!" Some of these red states I just don't understand. Ron Johnson in WI should have NO chance to win! He is worthless!!

A pipe dream, I know, but worth asking the genii for this one!
