Ezra Klein Predicts: Strong Economy Means Hillary Would 'Carry 42 States' (NewsBusters)

Journalist Ezra Klein on Monday pronounced that if economic conditions continue, Hillary Clinton will win "42 states" in 2016. The former Washington Post columnist, now the editor at Vox.com, appeared on MSNBC's All In to prognosticate.

Talking to Chris Hayes, he cited falling gas prices and declared,  "If this was one year from today, if this were 2016, Hillary Clinton would be about to carry 42 – ...if it continued on, Hillary Clinton would be looking to carry 42 states, right?" Offering a caveat, he continued, "If it continues, Clinton is in great shape, but it could turn around at some point."
