I'm very pleased to see that Hillary Clinton has sufficient confidence to be pulling resources from more traditional swing states to states that used to be solid red. Not only dies this force Republicans to use their resourses to defend places they considered safe, but also it brings a stronger Democratic message to people who will be voting in down-ballot races. One such state is Arizona.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign is planning its most ambitious push yet into traditionally right-leaning states, a new offensive aimed at extending her growing advantage over Donald J. Trump while bolstering down-ballot candidates in what party leaders increasingly suggest could be a sweeping victory for Democrats at every level.
Signaling extraordinary confidence in Mrs. Clinton’s electoral position and a new determination to deliver a punishing message to Mr. Trump and Republicans about his racially tinged campaign, her aides said Monday that she would aggressively compete in Arizona, a state with a growing Hispanic population that has been ground zero for the country’s heated debate over immigration.
Mrs. Clinton is “dramatically expanding” her efforts in Arizona, her campaign manager, Robby Mook, told reporters on Monday. She is pouring more than $2 million into advertising and dispatching perhaps her most potent surrogate, Michelle Obama, for a rally in Phoenix on Thursday.
In Indiana and Missouri, Mr. Mook said, the campaign will spend a total of $1 million to drive voter turnout, despite what he acknowledged was an “uphill battle” for Mrs. Clinton in two states that could determine control of the Senate. Mrs. Clinton is also directing more money to a series of presidential battleground states with competitive House races… [emphasis added]

Here is my own estimation of how the electoral map looks. I'll make at least one more before the election
As I see it, Hillary has the needed 270 electoral votes, if she just wins the blue states, but a mere win is now enough. We need a rout from White House to Dog Catcher nationwide.
Vote Blue!

Arizona indeed. Does McCain think it will improve his chances to state that anyone Hillary nominates for the Supreme Court (or maybe any court) will be flat-out opposed by Republicans? Maybe it will, but I surely wouldn't have thought so.
The fact that she is putting not just verbal support but also money into down ballot races is particularly encouraging (but NO COMPLACENCY, OK?)
Kander has pulled ahead in the polls in Missouri for the first time – an impressive breakthrough. Are there a lot of veterans there? I am hoping he has a real chance.
McConnell has all ready said he will not approve anyone she submits, let us hope we get enough Dems in the Senate to oust him from his current post of power.
He has indeed, which means he is expecting his party to have massive Hillary Derangement Syndrome. But first he has to have a Senate majority, and we are working hard to prevent that. Apparently we need to hold on to all we have and then flip four.
McTurtle doesn't give a rat's ass about justice or "we the people". In my total non legal mind, he should be tried for obstruction.
YAY!!! Very busy lady!! Good to see her continuing her campaign!! VOTE BLUE!!!
Thanks, Tom.
She is also near winning in Texas! Unbelievable, they have not voted for a Dem since the seventies. The Donald is not as popular as he thought.
May all your predictions come true, TomCat!
Remember y'all: Hillary Clinton can only win AND do anything she's promissed to do if everyone votes BLUE all down the ticket. Clinton is not complacent and you shouldn't be either..
Amen!!!
Hillary Clinton will not become Become President of the United States, and your polls are not correct,
basilly it is false. But do enjoy your attemps to state what you wish.
Welcome Henry. Even a famous Tea Party personality like you has the right to be wrong.

Third Party candidates as well as the "Undecided Voters" will have an unsettling effect on this 2016 election which may allow Drumpf to win the Presidency. Ask Al Gore, Ralph Nader, Ross Perot. For those of you thinking that any third party candidate will win the 2016 election, you are delusional. However, I do agree that the two party system has its many faults but this election is far too important to allow Drumpf to "win by default".

It takes confidence and true grit to walk into the lion's den which is exactly what Clinton is doing by going into red states. Seems that Bernie did a similar thing when he spoke at Liberty University — right into the lion's den.
Don't be COMPLACENT!
VOTE BLUE ALL DOWN THE TICKET!!!
Thanks all! Hugs!!
I'm all for Hillary kicking ass! BTW, she's going to win.
