Rudy puts almost the whole East into play

My @ss.

NOT in the SOUTHeast(or SOUTHWEST, or much of the WEST, or flyover country).

Liberal northeastern elitist RINOs do NOT make the vast majority of Conservative Southeastern voters want to run out and support or vote for them, ESPECIALLY when they're gun-grabbibng, abortion-supporting maggots like RINO-rudy.

Excuse me, Doc...but did you even read the article? Of every pundit/pollster in the biz, Michael Barone knows his stuff.

From the article

National upshot: Rudy's electoral vote position against Hillary is much stronger than Bush's against Kerry. Rudy puts almost the whole East into play and is significantly stronger in several target states in the Midwest and West. Hillary puts some states into play in the South but with many fewer electoral votes than Rudy does elsewhere. Even if you assume that Hillary is stronger against Rudy today than she was in July, the pairing does place the Republicans in a stronger position than Bush was in '04.
