I just looked at 538 - Clinton has had a bit of an upturn in her chances. It's still her race to lose. It's excruciating, waiting for this thing to end is painful.

I think what's happening here is the coming home moment for many Repukes that were going to vote for Johnson just took place. These people are holding their noses and voting Republican in spite of their distaste for their candidate. I don't think the FBI thing has much to do with this. The same thing will now take place on the left with Bernie's following. I'm a good example, I won't give HRC a dime let her get her rich Banker pals to pay her way, but I will vote for her and then dial out. This will be close at the end, ironically because the same black voters who won her the nomination suddenly have become agnostic about her. They hated Bernie ( the NY Jew) though, didn't they? Turns out their not that thrilled about her and Bill either on second thought. The counterbalance for her though is many more Hispanic's are coming out this time and women will vote overwhelmingly for her no matter what they tell their Trumpanzee husbands.

Yes I agree. This is what is discussed even in my political science class on the election. They are coming home to roost, this is not atypical, this is typical. Black people have a lot to lose, my black friends on Facebook are very pro-Clinton. I mean very very very pro-Clinton. They are demonstrative about it. They hate Trump, they get the racism that he's all about. On the other hand most of my black friends are also my peers age-wise. So I don't know what young people are thinking, but I just hope they get out there.
