Is Heitkamp Really DOA In The Election This Time? 2018 GE Edition

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

The double standards here are pretty amusing. You'd all laugh at anyone who thought a Republican consistently behind by double digits in a deep blue state could still win, and for good reason.

To be fair, I didn't move IL-GOV to Safe D as soon as we had two polls showing Rauner down by double digits. And Rauner is much more unpopular than Heitkamp. Once we had several polls showing him way down, then it became pretty clear that he didn't have a prayer of a chance. Plus, Heitkamp's deficit seems to be a very sudden change, and I'm only waiting to make sure it will last before completely writing her off. As I said, though, it certainly doesn't look good for her.
