NYT needle has been pretty Bullish on a R win in Wisconsin so far, giving them a 88% chance of winning.
looked at it county by county on WaPo, and this feels right.

Yea, big democratic counties are still counting.
But so are big republican ones.

R’s will turn out more in run off. So senate will probably stay 50-50. House looks to be 218-217. So MTG is the house version of Manchin
It didn't happen last time, and if Democrats do secure a majority (AZ and especially NV are still not a done deal) who knows how it will effect turnout.

Has America aborted the red wave? I sure fucking hope so..
Totally, the ABC team was discussing this. There's been no red wave. The shift in House seats to the other party for an incumbent president has been the least since Bush, and he was a war-time president with a positive approval rating at the time.

R's might not turn out for run-off if they convince themselves the elections are rigged, like in 2020. So if you are in Georgia, don't argue with them on that point, just say, "Hell yeah, it's rigged, I knew it!"

A couple of big problems for Walker for this runoff:

1: How many abortions is he going to demand/pay for between now and December? I'm guessing 3.
2: Stacy Abrams no longer has her own campaign to focus on.

The state of Walker's political future is soon going to resemble that of his brain matter.

My only fear is when GA goes to a runoff how much vote will he pull when/if control of the Senate is in the balance. He's woefully underperforming now but will that hold true if it means the only way to put a road block in front of the Biden admin.

GA runoffs favor the GOP... until 2020. I hope the same holds true.

I took my own advice and ignored everything until I woke up this morning. Looks like the democrats had a decent night, all things considered. Hopefully they can hold the senate.
Same. barely looked at it and went into it expecting what the rest did. Pleasantly surprised. This might finally be the end of the Trump era if what I am reading from a lot of right wing circles holds true. Most still reject the idea that their candidates and policies suck and blame imagined fraud but the rest place it squarely at the feet of Trump and what he pulls away from the GOP just by his presence.

Now we have that shit head governor of Florida for the deplorables to rally around.

Prior to yesterday, public sentiment was I’m not voting Walker. If there’s a runoff and senate control in the balance, then will hold nose and vote for him. But unsure what the independent voters will do.

Well that's no fun

It was glorious to watch Oz go down in real time.

Taj must have logged off after the big win in Guam... Lololol
