Originally posted by B-Fly View PostHuge margin of victory for Klobuchar last night, far surpassing the votes for Smith in a rare situation where we saw two statewide Senate races play out on the same night, and doing very well in areas that Trump won in 2016. She just made a very compelling case for the nomination, IMO.
On another note (and this will rankle a lot of folks in here), I think Elizabeth Warren is not going to be the nominee. In 2012, she underperformed Obama by 9% in Mass.. Last night, she got about 125,000 less votes than GOP Gov. Charlie Baker did in his race. She is well regarded by liberal donors and liberal activists, but she doesn’t do as well with liberal voters. She will have a lot of money and if she wins NH, she can stay in it for awhile, but she won’t win. If you want a liberal white woman, you will go with Gillibrand. If you want a liberal minority woman, you will go with Harris. Last night was the beginning of the end for her.

People love here here, and the main reason that she blew Tina Smith's totals out of the water is that Smith is essentially a party functionary for a large part of here career. And she just didn't have the name recognition that Klobuchar has.

On a odd/lighter note: Geez, the Dems really have to run better candidates!! A dead guy who while alive self-described himself as a “pimp” who (embarrassingly) ran as a Republican beat his very much alive Dem opponent for a state house seat in Nevada.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostIt really hit home for me this election that in some places, ALL that matters is the letter by the name to most folks.
