I know chances are about nil, but is anyone else getting the feeling Steyer could edge out Hilton? [View all]

There is always a big swing left in late arriving mail ballots. I'm starting to think that this year that swing could be more pronounced than usual as Democrats waited for things to "shake out" and late breaking news or last minute changes in polling.

Then the felon came out with his warning that "they" are after Hilton now that Pratt is out. I can't imagine him saying that unless someone at the White House thinks things aren't so rosy for Hilton.

Full disclosure, I took a flyer on a bet Steyer would advance, assuming I was throwing my money out the window. Perhaps there is a teeny tiny glimmer of hope.
