The Republican Path to 270
By Yeah, yeah, it’s way too early. But with the Chris Christie implosion (primary or general, every anti-Christie spot is going to show a traffic jam. And really, if you want to make the average voter dislike you, tell them you made them sit in traffic for hours out of spite for a small town mayor) and the trend of the country, the path to 270 electoral votes for the Republicans in 2016 is a pretty tough one. Even with the open embrace of Jim Crow-esque voting restrictions in North Carolina, Texas, and other states, it’s going to be tough sledding. Sad, I know.
