No Red Wave

He knows he did that. That's on him. BUT if it ends up 50-50 I will take a 30 day vacay from posting.

 

I posted this a couple of days ago when he told me to prepare for my 30-day vacation. You apparently didn't review my post history or his for that matter.

When I posted, Oz was ahead of Fetterman albeit by the less than the margin of error in several polls. Interestingly, Pennsylvania did a much better jobs of counting votes in the midterm than the state did in the presidential election. Walker was also ahead in Georgia and Laxalt was actually ahead by a margin greater than the MOE in some of the Nevada polls.

 

This is very true, and it is looking more and more like this is only going to be a moral victory for the Dems.

 

Those people remind me of this from Eliot:

[They] are the hollow men
[They] are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
[Their] dried voices, when
[They] whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In [Their] dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;[/QUOTE]

Looks like there are a lot of color blind, right wingers

 

She's as phony and vacuous a candidate as I can remember. Add to that a lack of respect for the Constitution and democratic traditions and one wonders how anyone could vote for her.......and it looks like she might win.

 

Diving into the ballots remaining in AZ although there is a small chance I think Masters will come up about 1% or so short of what he needs comparing it to 2020. Hopefully Laxalt can hold on so the GA runoff will be for Senate control.

 

I missed that. Cool. Thx for being a good sport.

 

I saw same yesterday but the remaining are all mail in votes so they could be much better for Dems closing that gap.

 

It's foolish to equate elections in with football.

 

275,000 drop off ballots yet to be counted.

 

It's more than a moral victory. While it's becoming a near certainty that the Republicans will control the House and thus will be able to set the agenda, it will be a lot easier for the Democrats to claw less than 10 Republican votes to enact bipartisan legislation than it would be claw 20 plus. While the possibility of any cooperation is still not that likely given the hyper-partisanship there is still definitely a difference between a small margin and a huge margin.

 

I’ll take this one.

I don’t really care about the political battle in question, but this phenomenon always irks me in sports. IMO, anyone who is pleased when Florida underperforms the spread by 30 points isn’t thinking clearly. It’s like a healthy adult celebrating correctly putting on their T-shirt in only 20 minutes. The fact that the shirt eventually went on should in no way make this a victory worth honoring.

 

By the way my wife would be very pleased if I took a 30-day vacation from this board. She thinks I waste far too much time posting here.

 

As well they should.

 

I think the Dems are doing quite well despite the illegal gerrymandering in Florida, Alabama and Louisiana that will eventually be overturned in court. Since everyone likes to use football as a metaphor, it's like starting the game down by 20. The midterms are just the first half. 2024 will be the second half of the game.

 

It certainly felt like one

 

What about pub Lawler defeating a libbie incumbent in NY. Dems gerrymandered there and it back fired.
Why do you guys act like only cons move district lines?

 

You may have not noticed that I used the word illegal. There's a difference between a gerrymander and an illegal gerrymander. Are you for law and order or are you not?
