Yeah, gotta back DeSantis at this point. What he did in Florida was impressive, even managed to flip Miami-Dade. Voters don't show up for Trump if he's not on the ballot.

Oz and Walker were such awful candidates. I don't see Walker winning a runoff, and if Oz wasn't so unlikable I think any reasonable candidate goes over Fetterman. GOP really backed some stinkers in those races.

If Oz doesn’t win the primary then McCormick probably beats Fetterman by 3%+

Absolutely. He'd be PA's version of Glenn Youngkin. A milquetoast businessman who would win over suburban swing voters. His supporters during the primary said the main reason they voted for McCormick was because of the economy.

Bobo still down 4k votes but no one seems to know how many ballots are outstanding in CO3.

Nevada may flip back when Clark County mail ballots are counted… will certainly be a razor tight finish.

Dumb rules in Arizona mean we still don’t really have a good idea of where people stand, but Kelly seems to be running better than he needs to win.

Warnock is going to come up just short of 50%, so we are looking at a December runoff.

You just described me to a T. I’m 35 and there’s a lot more like me out there at this point as opposed to registered R/D. All the party system does is disenfranchise us.

Absolutely! What I can't stand either is the way these candidates pander to the extremes of the parties for primaries, then try to swing back moderate for the general election. I laughed watching Oz for the last 8 months. He went from election denier, MAGA, Trump is my President, Biden is a commie, to MAGA, TRUMP, RED WAVE, Fetterman had a stroke because he doesn't broccoli (but he's a cardiothoracic surgeon and should know how it works), to I'm for the people, let's work to compromise, I'm here for all of you!

It's absolutely sickening to see all of these candidates act like this. Give me a legitimate platform and stick to it. Show me what you want to do. Not all this empty chest puffing and then coming back to the middle to try and get where most Americans are politically to vote for you. THAT is why we need more 3rd parties to have exposure across the country.

I have said the last few elections it seems like you vote for who is the less evil.

Or the dead guy......

So is the sequel to 2000 mules going to be coming out? We happy with the legitimacy of this election?

South Dakota votes to expand Medicaid

The Republican-controlled state, where lawmakers have long resisted Medicaid expansion, is the seventh in the last five years to do so at the ballot box — and likely the last to do so for some time.

This is good news.

Ron Johnson squeaked out Wisconsin, according to ABC News.

Update: Fox and CNN have also called the race for Johnson

Illinois Gerrymandering moved me out of his district. He lost his daughter suddenly during the primary.

This is a fantastic speech and his tone hasn't changed at all since 2018.

If a man whips it out in and empty room and nobody sees it, did it really happen?

A celery stalk in basketball shorts won statewide, so anything is possible.

This is good news.

But they voted against legalizing pot.

Listen, if we held an election between Bacon and Horse Shit, it would be 51-49 Bacon. I think.

Not terribly shocking.

"The contest marked the first time two openly gay congressional candidates had gone head to head in a general election."

Just hearing about this now....

I'm half serious with this question. So, a man exposes himself and that's considered a crime, right? A woman showing her boobs for a strand of plastic beads or lifting her skirt to give everyone nearby a peek at her cash & prizes is perfectly fine and never a crime, though. I'm not against women flashing, but why is one a crime and the other not?

Unless there's a late surge in either state, it looks like Nevada will go red and Arizona blue.

I think Nevada goes blue. There's about 16-20% of the vote still out in Clark County (Nevada). I suspect the remaining 20% outstanding in the entire state is mail-in/early voting which is heavily Democratic. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Well then....

 

[NDMatt91]

It's going to be glorious when DeSantis destroys him on the debate stage and exposes him for the fraud that he is.

 

[ab2cmiller]

Good Lord. Trump needs to crawl in a hole. Who hints at making an announcement to run for President on the evening of midterms? Who calls a “fellow Republican” names two nights before midterm?

Guy is the ultimate narcissist.
