In reply to the discussion: *****Breaking -- Harris' Lead Grows When Eliminating Biased, Republican Leaning Pollsters [View all]Self Esteem
(1,759 posts)I get wanting to be confident and optimistic about November but the facts remain: this is likely to be a very close election and that means it could take days before every state is called.
I too would love for a 2012-like night - and who knows? Maybe we get it (tho, Obama was polling far better in his must-win states than Harris is). But it's just hope at this point to expect an easy night. And I fear those who have convinced themselves this will be a cakewalk - like some saying Harris will win Pennsylvania by 15 or so points (absolutely not happening) are going to be the ones most negatively impacted by a close election.
I am absolutely prepared for a long outcome, especially after 2020. If she somehow is declared the winner early, hell yeah! But I'm not expecting it.
