LOL @ da Florida Democratic Party...

Luckily the Dems are doing much better even if they're still behind. Let's not forget the criminal only won by 1% in 2010.

Eric, it's actually very good news for Florida Dems.

In 2010, when Scott won by 1%, Republicans had a 13% edge in requested ballots.

Now, Republicans only have a 3% edge ...

The returned ballots are lagging way behind because most people wait until the last week before election day to return the ballots in case there is something important happening in the last weeks.

ME, AR and NC are meaningless because of the small number of requested ballots so far.

Yup. Checkpoint Charlie's got this. The criminal better get ready for his new residence:

Ralston says the Republinami continues building in Clark, Washoe.

Does it really matter though? At worst Horsford goes down, and we take it back with ease in 2016.

Ah right, I forgot the statewide candidates were up in NV this year. I assume Reid's Lt. Gov pick is already sunk then?

Democrats continue to chip away at Republican's lead in Florida.

GOP led by 9.6 Friday morning, 9.2 Saturday morning, and are down to 8.4 this morning. Dems should get another boost today with "Souls to the Polls" voting.

Wonderful news! The criminal must be terrified.

And the Republican lead in Florida continues to drop, down to 5.9% today from 6.4% yesterday.

It's happening...the criminal will soon be gone... (tears of joy).

Democrats once again doing well in Florida, bringing the GOP's lead down from 5.9% yesterday to 5.2% today

Looks like this one might be over. Stupendous news!

Republican lead grows in Colorado: amazing

Colorado update #2, 10/31

Total votes: 1,217,284 (approximately two-thirds of the electorate has already voted)

Republicans: 502,961 (41.3%)
Democrats: 391,509 (32.1%)
Unaffiliated: 323,228 (26.6%)

Total GOP lead over Dems: 111,452 (9.2%)

The 2010 electorate was R+5.9 and 2012 was around R+2. 

RIP Udall

What were the figures in Florida in 2010 at this point, out of curiosity?

I believe Republicans had a 13% lead in 2010, and Dems lost by a single point.

Souls to the Polls was a HUGE success in Florida yesterday!

GOP lead on absentees/early vote now down to just 3.3%, from 4.3% yesterday!

DOMINATING!!!!

At this point in the election, comparing 2014 to 2010 is ludicrous.  That like wishing for history repeat itself whether the outcome was good or bad.  Most of the red avatars in this thread are over the top with their predictions, it's mind baffling. 

Yes, I'm sure someone with the signature "Paul/Cruz 2016!" is a paragon of objectivity.
