Just something I’ve been thinking about, sitting here playing with the RSLC’s new 2016 electoral map widget and drinking heavily. “Create Your Own Path to 270 Map,” the widget beckons. Yeah, go ahead. You go find yourself a path to 270.
Here’s what I’ve got.(see graphic)
Each blue state you see there has been blue in every presidential election since 1992, with the sole exception of New Mexico — which has been blue in every election since 1992 except for 2004. Obama won the state by 10 points three years ago against Romney and by 15 points seven years ago against McCain; if Hillary can’t protect an advantage like that and ends up losing the state next year, it would mean some sort of catastrophic national failure of her campaign that would make NM’s electoral votes irrelevant anyway.

“Cruz/Martinez?”
Martinez repubublicrap governor of NM was hanging out early with
the FatManofNJ...that tells me all I need to know to say
NO Martinez on the ballot I vote.
I have no doubt Cruz would win a presidential election, IF he can get the namination. How is Florida going to have any say in that? The nomination is all but wrapped up before we get to vote for a nominee. Where am I wrong?
Primaries before Florida are proportional representation. Florida is winner-take-all, dwarfing the impact of the previous contests.
Illinois and Missouri will be the same day as FL, and I think they are also winner-take-all.
Thanks. I’ll be working for Cruz in FL.
I think that NM and WI are not impossible....and better work hard to hold NC!
