Starting to be pretty clear there is no real red wave. At least outside of FL. Looks to be quite tame as far as midterm swings go.
Yep. So far at least. If the Democrats only did some economic and inflation messaging it would have been even better.

We're only seeing some of the east now so could change but yeah. VA-10 just got called for Wexton and the GOP was gunning for this seat big time.

Huh? Idiots printed money like paper was free.
Lol, they printed so much money somehow they raised inflation higher throughout the world than what we have here! Are you referencing the stimulus that kept the economy afloat during a worldwide pandemic or what?

Yep, that's all that's allowed here. I'm a commie, which one are you?

Libertarian. I always vote against the party in pawer and hope the winner doesn't do to much damage. Dems are a shit show. You should always ask am I better off now than I was 4 years ago. I am fucking not. I have people being stabbed outside my business. I have bodies being dumped a block away. My company had it catalytic converters cut out of our trucks. The redactedwant to defund the police.

Gas is killing me.

Groceries are expensive as fuck.

We have these stupid mother fuckers that think creepy Joe is great and ignore the fact he cant even go 3 minutes without making and incoherent stement. They support stroke boy that sounds more stupid than Joe just because he has a blue D in front of his name.

I wouldn't car about any of this if it didn't affect me and my family.

Patty Murray is a paycheck collecting POS.








use of the R- word is prohibited. It is a slur against the developmentally disabled.

A libertarian. Bless your heart. Guess that explains your lack of understanding about economics and inflation.

Very interesting that Warnock could break 50% and Abrams will lose by 6% or so.

I'm going to blame Biden on the high gas prices I have to pay for my rental car next week...

in Grand Cayman.

Thanks dems.

Have a nice trip! And yep, these people have zero critical thinking skills. They can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

Well, it's certainly evident to see how the MEGA are feeling about their "lack" of wave.
Steve Bannon is live-casting claiming aliens in spaceships are stuffing ballot boxes in Arzonia favoring the dems. Fox News has pretty much given up. Fox News now, whining about the economy and the stock market and how fossil fuels can save America. All this because the realization has set in that Trump isn't so big after all... DeSantis is.

I'd move out of that conservative shithole if I were you. I'm guessing this because the red states have worse crime than the blue states, but you already know that.

The notion that a completely partisan governor (DeSantis) can redraw the maps without any oversight...is not problematic to anyone else?
Yes, it's bullshit, like most of the setup of our representation system.

Looking at the early results, it's horrifying so many would rather vote for a walking advertisement for the concussion protocol (Walker) than the clearly more qualified Warnock. Gotta own da libz, right?

It's gonna be great when Trump and DeSantis have a civil war. I'll have lots of popcorn. It already started. Trump has nicknamed him Ron DeSanctimonious and today said he has plenty of dirt on Ron and knows him better than anybody but his wife lol

It's gonna be fun watching those two garbage humans rip apart enough of the GQP to cause some real damage.

- Republicans are still more likely than not to win Senate (barely), anticipating a 51/49 Republican split there, although we may not know for sure for another full month as Georgia is quite likely to end up in runoff territory
- House is almost certain to be in Republican hands, although not by huge margins earlier thought possible, more like a typical off-cycle year shift. Although that means fine folks like MTG will be running House committees...

Outside the disaster for Dems in Florida, most results roughly as expected, although several states with abortion on the ballot appear to be doing moderately better than expected for Dems, although still early to call
