Are the expert election prognosticators seeing some signs in the chicken entrails which tell them that Donald Trump actually has a chance of being elected? I mean, only three weeks ago Charlie Cook was literally saying that the race was over. Clinton had not only already won, but she was probably going to have a landslide of historic proportions. But now, in the final 48 hours, some folks are changing their tune… at least a bit. (Washington Post)
With hours until Election Day, the wildest U.S. presidential race in memory has grown more competitive in most of the battleground states, although Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton continues to hold a broader path to victory than Republican Donald Trump.
The political map suggests that Clinton can lose several key states long assumed to be in her column and still reach the 270 electoral votes she needs to win.
Trump, meanwhile, has a new reason for optimism, as a growing number of states appear potentially within his grasp. But to win, he would have to take nearly all of them.
Yes, that’s still a dismal forecast for Trump, but it’s risen considerably above the Dumb and Dumber level of, so you’re telling me there’s a chance. That analysis came from Karen Tumulty at the Post, but she’s not the only one. Over at The Hill, Jonathan Easley sees a number of people who were already writing Trump’s political obituary setting their pens aside for a little while....

Well, did any of those “experts” see Comey coming out with a letter today essentially giving Hillary a pass?
Jesus Christ effing wake me when it’s Wed morning. This election is taking forever. I predict a slim Trump victory. But Hillary could also steal it with an assist by the effing media.
Watch everything turn on a dime tomorrow. Get ready for president Clinton.
Trump win NH where you may be ahead and you win the election.
Trump win just one of PA, WI, MN, CO, NM, VA or MI where you are close and you win the election.
I don’t know, the Chicago Cubs came from two games behind to win an extra-innings final game, and take home the title.
Probably has absolutely no bearing what-so-ever on the Presidential race, but, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
Swing for the fences....
I’m with you, but as I have said all along “the globalists will not be denied”. Obviously Comey has been gotten to again. There is no way this investigation has come to a conclusion in 10 days. He waited just long enough that any mutiny among the troops will not hit the news cycle before election day, and any agents that come forward now have to know if she is selected they will be crucified or worse. 2 agents have already died under suspicious circumstances this week alone.
The wildest in memory, how sad. Only because the Republican actually FOUGHT BACK.

Makes one wonder if voters discuss the issues as thoroughly as FReepers on this forum. If only.
Hence, the new Comey letter. Trump is wiping the joint up with Clintoonie’s @$$ and the “democrats” know it.
Bingo. McCain and Romney would have folded and went home in August. Win or lose. Trump is a winner. He took on the world and beat them at their game. The only thing that can keep him out of the Oval Office now is Obonzo's "unaccompanied" illegal alien invaders outnumbering Americans at the polls.
Trump would have to win every swing state to reach the White House.
Hillary can afford to lose two or three and still reach her goal to 270.
Trump has the steeper climb. That’s why most experts and the public think we’ll be saying “hello” to Madam President next year.
Trump has an uphill climb even though he is leading in the polls. Victory is not guaranteed.
States that are not being factored in seem to be trending towards Trump whereas states that looked like they might flip for Hillary (Arizona, Texas and Utah) aren’t.
