  • The way Snipes has run this election and her previous history is troubling. You can not ignore deadlines and reporting mandates based on personal whim.

      Agreed, it never should have come to this, but here we are again, in Florida. She needs to be taken out of the equation, ASAP.

      • AP calls it for Sinema. We are back to a +1 night for the R's on called races, but I remain fairly certain that FL won't change in recount and we will be at R+2.

        So that leaves us with the Mississippi runoff. Is there any chance we have a Roy Moore situation brewing? Probably not she is a sitting Sen., but this is not a good look, but I doubt it sticks...

              Good for her. The writing was on the wall and she wasn't afraid to read it.

                Good to hear she’s been quiet on social media during the vote count and never saw her say anything suggesting the count wasn’t proceeding lawfully so good for her.

                  McSally also spent 22 years in the Air Force, and attained the rank of Colonel. she was the first American woman to fly in combat, apparently, following a lifting of that ban in 1991.

                  and it's Veteran's Day. I suspect that means a lot to her.

                  in this current cesspool, I look for whatever I can find. I guess we all do.

                    I think the other thing is she wanted to look like a reasonable politician so that she remains a viable candidate for the McCain seat appointment since Kyl isn’t staying long. Still I appreciate seeing her take the high road here and never mention anything about vote fraud.

                      Ding ding ding! Hard to give her much credit after being bombarded with her campaign's attack ads for the past few months.

                        Agreed - her campaign was pretty brutal. However, I am happy to see her play the more diplomatic role here. I think had she taken this tact in the election it is likely she would have pulled the votes she needed. Her campaign was honestly off putting in many ways.
                        It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

                          Not sure about your last point because Sinema responded in kind and also turned off a fair number of people.

                            Thats why Im saying if McSally had stayed out of the muck - she probably would have faired better.

                              But Sinema waded in the muck in response. So if McSally had not, nor would have Sinema so I don't think it would have changed the outcome.

                              • Got bored and decided to finally figure out what exactly isn't called especially in the House.

                                Races I expect the Democrats to win
                                CA - 10 Harder leads by over 3K votes. My guess is this is likely D.
                                CA-39 Kim leads Cisneros by about 1.9K, but I am trusting the guys I follow on twitter who are telling me that based on where the vote is still being counted is that this will go D.
                                CA 45 - Porter has cut Walters lead to just over 1K and like 39 I am reading that where the vote is coming from will have this go D.
                                NJ 3 - Kim leads by over 3K and at this point, it is a likely D
                                NY 22 It is still very close but trusting Nate Silver that it is a likely D at this point.
                                UT 4 - A lot like NY 22 it is really close but the votes coming in expect to tilt toward the Democrats.
                                Maine 2- With the rank voting the expectations is those that voted for Bond the majority of their vote will break for Golden.

                                So from 227, I count 7 that I think the Democrats will win.

                                GA 7 Looks like it will go to the Republicans
                                TX 23 Also likely goes to the Rep
                                NY 27 is also likely to go to Collins and stay red.

                                So the R's go from 198+3

                                I will list CA 21, it is called but Cox is still down just over 2K so I bet if they could take the call back they would though I still expect Valado to win.

                                So today I get 234-201 and D+39 if I had to guess today and 538 classic that I referenced a lot in election leadup had D+39 as the average gain in their final model. The Dems will be able to lose 16 votes and still win votes if this count is correct.
