2016 Presidential Election

[Potatoe]

Oregon would not be called into question in a tie.

[Former Lincoln Assemblyman & Lt. Gov. RGN]

Oregon...Oregon...Oregon... While on my calculations, Cuomo still has a slight lead on Oregon but in a 0.8% margin against Christie. Undecided voters still polled 7%, Cuomo needs to win the undecided voters to get Oregon on next poll

[Former Lincoln Assemblyman & Lt. Gov. RGN]

In this timeline, OR is like the state of NC during 2008, won by Dubya in double digit margin in 00 and 04, then won by Obama last 08 by pretty small margin.

October 14, 2016- Cuomo ad: Bridgegate

Democratic Nominee Andrew Cuomo released an ad on all states with an attack on Gov. Christie's scandal.

Same day: Christie and Bush for a Strong America

The Christie-Bush campaign released an ad on the same day after the bridgegate ad aired, instead on focusing on rebuttals (which most voters expect) on the Cuomo ad, the ad focused on records of both governors of their respective states.

Wouldn't Ted Cruz mount a third-party bid with Allen West or Ben Carson as his running-mate if Chris Christie won the Republican nomination?

[TX Conservative Dem]

Let me guess, Crist choked against Scott in 2014 ?

Or did Nelson win the governorship instead ?

[Former Lincoln Assemblyman & Lt. Gov. RGN]

Wouldn't Ted Cruz mount a third-party bid with Allen West or Ben Carson as his running-mate if Chris Christie won the Republican nomination?
