Biden landslide? Not so fast. MSM begin hedging their bets.
Democrats begin to worry that maybe it's not a runaway election.

There was a striking paragraph in a Politico piece on Monday, one that should give pause to the notion that Joe Biden is leading by double digits — or even 18 points, a Drudge Report headline blared — in the 2020 presidential election.
"Democrats are poring over early vote totals, circulating anxiety-ridden campaign memos and bracing for a long two weeks," the inside the Beltway website wrote.
Huh? Isn't Biden cruising to victory?
The liberal website, created by two former Washington Post reporters, has been pumping out pro-Biden stories for months. Now, apparently, the editors are hedging their bets.
"Yet two weeks before Election Day, the unfolding reality of 2020 is that it's harder than ever to be sure. And Democrats are scrambling to account for the hidden variables that could still sink their nominee — or what you might call the known unknowns," said the piece, headlined "The hidden factors that could produce a surprise Trump victory."
Of course, they're not hidden, or not, at least, for those who are looking — and especially those who saw what happened in 2016. Back then, polls like those from fivethiryeight.com gave Hillary Clinton a 91% chance of winning the White House. She got crushed in the Electoral College, 304-227.
