Fingers crossed here


Vermont codified abortion is rights

Yeah I think warnock or runoff.

I'll take it. Give Georgia a little more time to think about whether they want to be stupid or not. Economy might continue to improve before a runoff.

11/8/2022 10:34:13 PM

I think economy might get worse before it gets better.

Stock market run up might reverse if GOP Congress stops looking likely, although closely divided Congress might still be pretty favorable.

Kinda crazy to think that FL is now fairly firmly red, and GA is at least purple.

11/8/2022 10:37:24 PM

Yea i think one thing the two Fl residents can agree on


Also, Pa looking more lean fetterman at this stage

Stock market often reacts favorably to a divided Congress. But as is often repeated, the stock market is not the economy.

11/8/2022 10:43:08 PM

^ exactly

^^ I mean, I we’d disagree on a lot…I’m obviously far from a Democrat…

But I pulled a straight (D) ticket this cycle, no Republicans last time (some D, some L, some abstain), and majority (D) the previous election.

11/8/2022 10:47:14 PM

Rubio out too?

I thought I saw you were still potentially in on DeSantis

Regardless, i guess two plus how ever many ways are vote overlapped. Handshake meme to our useless votes!

Times showing a Walker edge but razor thin

If Warnock pulls through, Senate control comes down to Nevada.

11/8/2022 10:57:43 PM

Red wave is seeming more drizzly but night (week?) is young and a drizzle could see both house swap control.

[Edited on November 8, 2022 at 11:02 PM. Reason : Both 'chambers'? Whatever term, I'm tired ]

Rubio failed at almost every turn, most of all every time it really counted, regarding Trump.

I was never going to vote DeSantis over Charlie Crist. I never even entertained that. I didn’t vote for him the first time over Gillum, although I wanted him to win (I probably would have voted for DeSantis in that election had it been clear at the time how much of a colossal dipshit he was running against).

I could, I suppose vote DeSantis depending on how he shapes up in a Presidential run and who he runs against. It would be a major stretch, though. I can’t imagine voting for him over Biden.


But make no mistake. I range from “oppose” to “fucking loathe” all these Democrats. It’s only due to the catastrophic failure in multiple ways of the GOP.

I expect that if you could ditch the politics and purely go on genuine policy preferences, I’d find both Rubio and DeSantis decent. Maybe even good…but that’s not reality. They’re poisoned by the politics they’re beholden to.

Good for you. I'm not all that far off your stance. I voted straight blue.

11/8/2022 11:06:17 PM

It’s funny this is a historically great outcome for the incumbent party but it’s still a bad outcome

Gop will be pushing as hard as they can to defend trump for his crimes in the house.

^^…do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion…


I’m less concerned about the foreign ones. My friends and I can kill them with blinding efficiency.

It’s the domestic ones who worry me.

Sarah Huckabee won her governor race

We are doomed as a society. I don’t see how this gets any better…

11/8/2022 11:26:45 PM

Wonder what the media narrative will be if Dems hold the senate. Clearly there is no red wave…

11/8/2022 11:29:02 PM

Did Bo Hines lose Budds seat, or does redistricting gum up that math?

11/8/2022 11:29:46 PM

^^^
Yeah but you could take a shit on a plate in the shape of an “R” and it would win in Arkansas.

Ever been to Arkansas? It makes Alabama look like Silicon Valley.

11/8/2022 11:37:09 PM

^^Bo looks like a loser with 99% reporting.

11/8/2022 11:41:54 PM

No I know he is losing and Budd was in the 13th, trying to determine how similar the district is (without having to do any work).


I did some work and the district looks completely different so no Budd silver lining. Still glad Hines lost obv

Ga looks like heading to a runoff. That will be interesting… I assume libertarian voters stay home? Could be bad if they swing to Walker

11/8/2022 11:46:27 PM

Nc sen called for Budd

11/9/2022 12:05:23 AM

dems are gonna keep the senate, hell could even gain 1

11/9/2022 12:06:47 AM

Let's hope.

11/9/2022 12:07:34 AM

not even close to a wave and it’s still possible for Dems to hold both chambers

11/9/2022 12:09:40 AM

Silver lining here is that hopefully the broader gop realizes how toxic trump is and if he’s announcing a run in a few weeks— they will not rally.

11/9/2022 12:34:56 AM

Hell, the republicans gaining the house could be beneficial for 2024
they literally have no policy and them having the house will put them on the spot

meanwhile the senate could still do approvals and what not

Looks like Palin lost in Alaska and their one house seat goes to a Democrat. One less total moron in Congress. No offense to moron.

11/9/2022 6:11:21 AM

^^^^ I can admit when I'm wrong. The flood of polls plus the results from Florida last night made it seem like Dems were in a bad place.

11/9/2022 6:19:29 AM

bbehe, I'm so glad you were possibly wrong.

11/9/2022 6:50:18 AM

Seems like the shock at slavery amendments and not-as-convincing-as-you-expect results around the country shows many people don't realize it's stills legal to make inmates work for free or very low wages in many parts of the country.

11/9/2022 6:50:43 AM

Guess they weren't paying attention during The Shawshank Redemption when the prison kept underbidding companies for jobs because of their captive labor force.

11/9/2022 7:23:41 AM

NC and OH Supreme courts flipping Republican is definitely the worst news of the night.

TBH I'm really surprised Fetterman won after his debate performance.

Leave it to NC to send a fascist to the Senate. Of course Dems really fucked up that race.

Losing the NC Supreme Court was very sad, especially when it comes to abortion rights and gerrymandering.

11/9/2022 10:27:46 AM

Especially for gerrymandered abortions.

Hope Trump announces a run before the 6th of December

11/10/2022 11:32:55 AM

Imagine having to run in 4 elections in 2 years for the same senate seat.

I think if Senate control is already decided before the 6th for the dems, Warnock wins by a landslide. Otherwise it may be closer

11/10/2022 11:46:31 AM

^^Why December 6?

I hope Trump is indicted before he announces his campaign.

11/10/2022 11:54:52 AM

Bc he wants that to be a factor in the runoff in Ga

11/10/2022 12:16:48 PM

Looks like he might be doing it on Nov 15
