Clinton Rises to 348 Electoral Votes, Trump Drops to 190
Sabato's Crystal Ball ^ | August 18, 2016 | Larry J. Sabato, Kyle Kondik and Geoffrey Skelley

New Hampshire may just have four electoral votes, but it’s important. If you doubt it, just ask any Granite State citizens, and they’ll tell you about their first-in-the-nation primary. Even that quartet of electoral votes can matter; in 2000, if Al Gore had just won them (and without Ralph Nader on the ballot, he probably would have), Gore would have been president even without Florida. He didn’t and he wasn’t.

Since 2000, we’ve watched New Hampshire become more reliable for the Democrats in presidential years. Neighbor John Kerry of Massachusetts won 50.2% in 2004, and Barack Obama easily carried the Granite State in 2008 (54.1%) and 2012 (52.0%). And now, Hillary Clinton is doing so well that her polling lead in the state is about seven-to-eight points, depending on the average, and now we’re ready to shift New Hampshire from Leans Democratic to Likely Democratic.

190 is about where Romney and McCain were. Honestly, it’s about where a Cruz or Rubio would be in November.

At least this time we have a fighter. Win or lose, do or die, fight.

Excelsior!

He is going to have to do that because now with people finishing their summer vacations and with the kids getting ready to go back to school, folks are going to start to pay attention.

As I commented on an earlier thread where Sabato came up:

Larry Sabato is aka “Larry Sabotage” here in VA .... it goes back a ways, but some of us have long memories.

Sabato’s sabotage, take 2

Looks like they might be setting things up for a cheated election—the ballot boxes will be stuffed. But, the question is —IF it happens—what will we do? We should start to think about what we can do to unseat the corruption Clinton rule. Marches? Riots? No pay taxes? Session? If it happens we should be thinking of what we can do.

Just another make believe map giving OH and Fl to Hillary.

It’s NOT going to be that easy for her to win those states.

NH, IA, NV are all a toss-up, nobody knows how they’re going to go.

So everyone can relax.

At the end of the article, Sabato lays out an interesting path for a completely plausible Electoral College tie at 269-269 and a Trump victory in the House of Representatives to give him the presidency.

I think it’s good to see what is being said ‘out there.’ We need to work for Trump as if this prediction were actually true! We can’t lay back and take it easy. We must act like we are in 4th Quarter and we’re 20 points down! It is that urgent.
