I just up and stole this because I believe in passing along the positive.

Clinton vs. Trump:
31 July 2016
100 days from the election

The number that explains my current relative lack of distress: 267 Solid Clinton electoral votes. Yes, that's 267 out of a necessary 270. If she holds onto the stuff where she looks very good right now and wins Oregon or Wisconsin, she's the next president. Obama won both those states comfortably, and there are many other possible paths with nice noticeable odds, paths with over a 1% chance of happing. Trump's best single path to victory is currently at 0.05%.

For people who like to gamble, that path is now at 1 chance in 2,000.

Hello, friends, family and strangers. Welcome to the first of the weekly reports on the 2016 presidential electoral college race between Hillary R. Clinton and Donald J. Trump. I include strangers because I am making an effort on social media - notably Twitter and Facebook - to get this blog out to as many people as possible because the most respected name in poll aggregation, Nate Silver, is producing something called a "now-cast" that says the race for the presidency is close.

My numbers say it isn't. My numbers do not claim to be predictor of the election, only a snapshot of what the polls say today. Even so, what I am seeing reported by Nate Silver amounts to mathematical malpractice and people need to know not all aggregators agree with him.

If you are a stranger, your first question should be: Who the hell is this guy?

I'm the guy who beat Nate Silver in 2008 and beat him again in 2012.

The snapshot says 99% to 1% for Clinton.

I'm digging it.

1. I'm hopeful for Wisconsin

Feingold is running for Senate and polling well so far. So the two together will hopefully drown out the dummies who continue to support Scotty, the man who has sent the state's economy into the toilet.

2. Oh, I believe that too, flea!

I thought it was going to be Sam Wang but it's from Matthew Hubbard.

I'm here to say I'm as good as Nate Silver is (okay, just a little better) and right now he is peddling crap just as stinky as Ron Fournier, Howard Kurtz or Mark Halperin/

Mahalo! We will have to bookmark this!

4. This is most excellent, flea!

I'm hoping, praying, determined to have a landslide. I agree with you about the positive. I keep visualizing Hillary turning the map completely blue!
