Cortney wrote this up today. The Biden camp is sure sounding ... not very confident all of a sudden. They say they can win this election without Florida and Pennsylvania. They must be smoking whatever Hunter Biden is using because that doesn’t appear to be the case. Trump is doing well in the core three — North Carolina, Arizona, and Florida — which just leaves one Rust Belt state in order for the president to secure a second term. And in Florida, things are looking pretty bad for Democrats.
There are no new Democratic voters or young people showing up at the polls thus far, and Republicans are showing up in force. In Pinellas County, which is key to offset the Democratic gains in neighboring Hillsborough, GOP voters are showing up by a three-to-one ratio.
Larry Schweikart ~ FL Rs +99,022
Trump won in 2016 by just 113,000
This will get ugly.
{Cont.} FL has just now reached 100% of total 2016 turnout.
The new voters ain't Ds. They sure ain't students.
{Cont.} FL: Rs up 35,000 now.
Palm Beach election day, Rs up 17.4 points.
Gadsden: Ds down by more than 4 points from 2016.
{Cont.} Broward Election Day Ds up only 2,200
No, not a typo.
{Cont.} From "Freeper" bort on Sarasota
Rs: 7.1K (60%)
Ds: 1.7K (15%)
All votes (early + election day): 44%(R) vs. 34%(D)
So much for Biteme winning seniors.
{Cont.} Rs ahead on election day votes in Palm Beach by almost 9,000; up in Pinellas on election day by 22 points.
{Cont.} Pinellas coming out of the gate hard, nearly 3:1 for Trump. Went for Zero in 2012.
{Cont.} D lead in FL vanishing like Cankles' emails. Was 108,000.
Now? 24,000.
{Cont.} Early FL: Rs up solid in Alachua.
Patrick Ruffini ~ Republicans already outvoting Dems 2.5 to 1 in Pinellas today after being slightly outvoted by them in the early voting period.
PollWatch ~ Florida is the barometer for the election. Trump won FL by 1.2% last time. If he is over that today that is a good sign. So far it looks positive.
Peoples_Pundit ~ For people who don't know Florida, which is pretty much everyone in the pundit class who pretends that they do, the R advantage gets heavier as the day goes on.
Think this is heavy now, just wait.
Within hours this morning, the Democrats’ early voter advantage was wiped out. As Larry Schweikart noted, “this will get ugly.”
Hold onto those four words, folks. Florida has also been a pretty good gauge on how Pennsylvania and Michigan have gone since 1968.
Charlotte Alter ~ Biden campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon: "We continue to have multiple pathways to 270 electoral votes" says they can win 270 even without PA and FL.
"... can win 270 even without PA and FL"? They're not sounding very confident, are they?!
Early this morning, all the "pundits" were talking about Trump's "narrow path" to victory. Why is it that the Republican is ALWAYS the one who supposedly has the "narrow path," eh? If the Biden campaign is writing off PA and FL, sure sounds like Gropey Joe is the one trying to teeter down a narrow path.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
