Checking 538 is very satisfying. I like the NYT's even better because it lists a few sources. [link]

There was one poll source that I think billytea said he liked and I can't remember it. Anyone?

Fivethirtyeght's nowcast is HILARIOUS at this moment. I feel like it should be accompanied by the sad trombone sound.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That is pretty. And all their sources point to Colorado staying blue. Oh, that would be so nice. I've called Colorado purple since I moved here, but they have voted blue again and again.

That have both Florida and North Carolina blue at the moment which is very pleasing to the eye.

Ohio is blue (light blue, but still) on fivethirtyeight and Princeton, and yellow(?) on NYT (but still showing 59% Democratic).

It feels like there's too much time between now and the election.

Ugh, seriously! I'm not sure I can take it and wish I had the self-control to stay offline for great chunks of the day but I don't.

I'm giving non-trivial odds that Trump will flame out somewhere in September or October, and the party will draft Cruz or Rubio or somebody, throwing everything out of kilter.
