At this rate, maybe everything will be put in play. Well this "put in play" trend get all the way to DC? Stay tuned!
Well, to be fair, he didn't quite say that. He just said 57% of the white vote. Putting aside the merits of that as to whether that is the right number to swing the state based on reasonable assumptions, in certain places, that would be quite the tectonic plate shift. Imagine the size of the swing, if 57% of the white voters in Manhattan voted Pub? And the Pubs would win Oregon and Washington going away. In fact, about all New England would be nailed down. Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa would be near Pub landslides. So many possibilities, so little time. The Dems would still be safe in Hawaii, Maryland, DC, NY, and Illinois however.
If the GOP took 57% of the white vote in Illinois, it would no longer be a Safe D state (Dems would win but only by a few percentage points).
