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.<\/font><\/p>\n

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<\/strong> in what party leaders increasingly suggest could be a sweeping victory for Democrats at every level.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, Michelle Obama, for a rally in Phoenix on Thursday.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong>… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is my own estimation of how the electoral map looks.  I'll make at least one more before the election<\/font><\/p>\n

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.<\/font><\/p>\n
