NBC calls race for Clinton - impact?

do you have a link to the article where someone was already declared the winner, when early voting hasn't even begun??

Fun watching everyone smugly dispatching Trump by validating that opinion with the exact same polls that scoffed at him until June. LOL.

Will still gladly book Nate Silver's prediction of 5-1

Gallup had Dukakis up by 17 at this point in 1988.

I wasn't looking for it - it's all over the internet today. Apparently people are taking offense to a "fait accompli" tone to the coverage.

Me too if I can find someone dumb enough to give me 2 times what the actual market is. But of course I would cover my exposure by laying the 5/2 in the real world as I assume you would.

Polling doesnt mean squat. A race cannot be called before voting has even begun.
What is funny is the article you cite does not call it a fait accompli, but your thread title sure does.

With bookies here in NY Hillary is -450 and Trump is + 300. Last week she was -500.
