2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMichigan?
WTF is going on in Michigan? Obama's lead has evaporated there and now it's been looked at as a "toss-up" state instead of a "leans Obama" state. After the auto industry's revitalization, I can't believe the state is even in play. That's 16 electoral votes we MUST carry...no ifs ands or MITTS!

Obama still ahead by 5 in latest polling, yet they're moving Michigan to toss up. Maybe they have to have a much bigger lead than 5 in order to be considered "leans":

Perhaps the pollsters are giving the media something to cover.

....means LESS time to spend in the critical swing states like Ohio and Colorado that we need to get over 270.
