Don't count her out though. Lord knows she can turn a trick.

You’re obsessed

I wouldn't call that smoked, but it would make my day if she loses.

The spread is .3% and doesn’t matter at this point.

It's the moral victory that feels like new batteries in the pocket rocket.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Based on?

The exit poll graph captures it (see below). Unexpected uptick of Generation Z didn't help (abortion is a huge issue for them as well).


Roe vs Wade, despite its legal faults, was a blessing in disguise for the GOP. They were able to rope in single issue (pro-life) voters on the hope of overturning it without having to actually upset the applecart. That applecart is now shattered.

NBC called PA for Fetterman.

 

[volgr]

Great. Let's be lead by idiots. And watch trump get trounced again

Or the GOP can embrace their base which is more working class and less "educated" than Party leadership desires. Until that happens, the GOP is a lost cause nationally. It aint 2000 any longer. Party demographics have changed quite a bit.

I'd love to see Philly signature verification on mail-ins. Same tricks as 2020.

 

[C-south]

Warnock back on top of Walker

Of course it’s after midnight.

 

[PKT_VOL]

I’m going to change my phone number, email addresses and close my mailbox for the next month to avoid the bombardment of PAC advertising that’s about to rain down on the good people of GA until the runoff election.

Preach!

My poor mailbox is going to weep for the next month. Luckily, I don't have a phone number or email known to political parties and I cut the cable so I don't have TV adverting.

The political junk mail never makes it inside. Straight from the mailbox into the recycle bin.

If Oz was the projected winner, would you say the same?

You knows it

Hell yes. Odd how once Dem strongholds in Florida arent all that strong after DeSantis cleaned up their Elections. Oz is a loser, but PA has beem sletchy for a while.

Conversely, the GOP's base needs to realize that certain candidates are non-starters for the majority of the electorate. The base needs to realize that they need to come off of their guy because their guy isn't getting elected either way.

That's an interesting statement. Cleaned up how, exactly? If I was in a Republican state of mind, I'd say DeSantis was suppressing the vote or committing fraud.

 

[BreatheUT]

I think fettermin getting any significant votes bolsters my argument.

Fetterman has to easily be the worst candidate ever chosen to the US Senate bar none. The guy wears hoodies like a slouch.

 

[evillawyer]

It took awhile, but glad you finally got there Tennessee

Philip Klein of National Review summed it up:

It's hard to look at tonight's result as anything other than a strong repudiation of the decision to nominate candidates based primarily on their loyalty to Trump and their willingness to indulge his stolen election fantasies. In Georgia, Ohio, and New Hampshire candidates endorsed and heavily promoted by Trump (Walker, Vance, Buldoc) are significantly underperforming the more traditional Republicans (Kemp, DeWine, Sununu). In Pennsylvania, Trump pushed Mastriano (who got clobbered) and Oz (who is likely to lose). Throughout the country, MAGA supported House candidates are losing. Meanwhile, in Florida, Ron DeSantis managed to unite traditional Republican voters, populists, and win over independents through competent governance. And that was the guy that Trump decided to take shots at in the run up to the election. Republicans have a pretty clear choice — they can continue to make the party a vehicle for Trump's ego, lose winnable races, and claim fraud after the fact. Or they can move on and start winning again.

And he has the mental capacity of a 4 year old. His only stint in office he destroyed a community.

 

[Weezer]

Both sides need to move away from their extremes and more toward the middle.

Trump made a point at a rally in Ohio Monday night to show his poll numbers against other Republicans (70% were with Trump, by the way).

He's announcing November 14. And that seems to be what conservative voters want. Who knows, long way to 2024. But it seems like the Trump train is about to get going again.

"No."

He may have the “majority” but he doesn’t have a path forward as far as an election. What state is he going to flip from ‘20? Tonight showed it won’t be Georgia or PA.
