2022 House and Senate election

Walker up to 49.7%. Goal line stand for Warnock?

In PA, Oz is down approx. 1%.
 
CNN called NH senate for Dems. It seems like the red wave has landed in certain areas like FL, TX, GA, etc and not so much in other areas like the northeast. Need to see what happens in AZ, NV, WA.
 
Pennsylvania might be the dumbest state in America. “Let’s elect a man who has never held a job, can’t speak in public and wears a sweatshirt hoodie to every public event.”
 
For folks looking at AZ results in consternation, don’t worry it’s completely ****** up:

 
Disgusting Fetterman projected to win PA Senate seat.

Socialist
Anti police
Anti gun
Pro criminal
Anti fracking
Open borders
Pro abortion
Etc.
 
It's a little after 8:30 am in the UK (2:30 am on the East Coast), and we still don't know for sure who will control either house of Congress. Pathetic - that the red wave looks more like a red trickle at best (in fact it looks like we might lose Senate seats) and that so many races aren't yet known.

I don't know what it would look like, but we need to reform how votes are counted. This is ******** and embarrassing. If there is a threat to democracy, this is it.

Does this help? Zoom in on the picture on the right. She'll easily be the hottest chick on Capitol Hill.

On top of that as long as we let massive mail in ballots flood the system we will have a hard time winning. It's a cheat system that helps the dems too much.

If we can't do a red wave with a veggie as Prez with terrible popularity/job performance that should tell you something.

It could be. At the same time we can't blame Trump for this whole red wave that fell apart. The SCOTUS abortion decision got the blue team motivated it seems.

I think it's a combination of things. I do think Trump's endorsement of some bad candidates hurt. (Though clearly non-Trump candidates didn't necessarily do well. See Colorado Senate race where O'Deay under-performed.) Being a carpetbagger clearly hurt Oz. However, there's no question that the very Trumpy Mastriano getting cock-slapped in the governor's race dragged Oz down.

Against entrenched Democratic incumbents in bluish states, you can't run candidates with narrow appeal and/or baggage like Boulduc, Walker, and Masters. To win in those states, you need to have more conventional candidates with clean histories, and you can't have division in the party. That clearly hurt us in Arizona and Georgia Senate race (but not the governor's race). By the way, though Trump certainly didn't help that problem in Arizona, he didn't start it. It goes back 20 years when McCain became a moderate and ran for President, and whatever is driving the pissing match between the McCain people and the Ward people needs to get resolved ASAP. The division and blowing statewide races is horse ****. By contrast, Laxalt (who's more conventional and doesn't divide his party) still has a chance to pickup Nevada.

I wish SCOTUS hadn't handed down Dobbs in an election year. It massively motivated Democrats, and it would have been nice to have an extra year for that to settle down and for the GOP to prove that the wailing and gnashing of teeth was overblown. No question that the unknown hurt us in places like AZ, MI, NH, and other places.

And let's not act like there are no upsides. We'll take the House, and that will end the dumpster fire at least to a significant degree. Furthermore, we grossly over performed in New York and Oregon. Even if we lost NY (and may lose Oregon), we showed that we can make those states close with strong candidates and a good message. With better dynamics, they are winnable. We just need to keep working in those states.
