i didn't see a thread already started for discussion of the upcoming midterms.Will be very interesting to see how this plays out. When Roe was in place, candidates could claim to support extreme restrictions on abortion and pay little political cost for that position. Looks like the results from the Kansas ballot measure could be some candidates to recalibrate.
some republicans appear to be beginning to react to the roe backlash visible in the kansas amendment vote and various post-roe special elections where dems have done better than expected.

Someone tell me who is going to win the Kansas 2022 Gov race. I hardly ever vote but will probably vote for Kelly since crap seems to be going well with her at the helm.Not going to try to predict it. Would think Kelly has a shot to hold on to the office. Schmidt doesn’t come across as being as extreme as Kobach. Will be very interesting to watch.

Is Kobach running for anything that I need to vote against or have we more or less scourged him from our lands?

I'm inclined to agree, while I'm also aware that I'm biased because I hope it to be the case. Still, the experience in Kansas on August 2 looms large in my mind. They missed it big time, and we are seeing a similar trend of female new voters outpacing male new voters at notable margins throughout the country. Is that baked in? It wasn't in Kansas.
Goodbye democracy
republicans are almost certain to take control of the house.Red wave is cumming!

It's such a blatant voter suppression tactic aimed at KC and St LouisYes
The OK governor’s race is neck & neck. Our governor is a tall, corrupt, pure ego Republican. He’s had multiple scandals for no-bid contracts, wasted tons of money, & pushed school choice to move funds from public to private schools even though much of his rural base doesn’t have access to private schools. He’s tied himself to his Secretary of Ed who is running for state superintendent. The Secretary of Ed is constantly posting videos of him in his car bitching about school bathrooms because of Stillwater HS & teachers being woke. He also constantly pushes for school choice & it’s recently come out he has a $140,000 side job as the executive director of a school a choice think tank.
The governor also has a very online Director of Comms whose feed looks like she’s auditioning for a show on NewsMax. Here is a tweet of her’s this morning where she liked an article’s headlines so she shared it, but she didn’t read it & the article is critical about how he’s wasted millions of dollars through multiple scandals. If very red OK ends up with a dem governor (she was a moderate Republican until 2 years ago then switched to challenge) this inept crap of the current regime is why.

ICYMI: Democrats fund Dennis Pyle campaign to split conservatives
By Susan Wagle
November 3, 2022, The Wichita Eagle
Democrats are afraid they are about to lose the governor’s race and they’re desperately engaging in underhanded tactics to try and trick Kansans into giving Gov. Laura Kelly four more years, despite all her failures in the first four.
News reports have surfaced this week that an organization called “American Center” has been sending mail pieces and buying radio ads in the Kansas governor’s race to attack our Republican nominee, Derek Schmidt, and benefit Sen. Dennis Pyle, an independent candidate on the ballot.
Truth is, “American Center” is a Democrat front group that shares an office with Perkins Coie, the controversial Washington D.C. law firm used by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and one that has serviced many Democrats over the years. The organization is also using a well-known Democrat media buying firm to place its radio ads.
It’s clear as day what’s happening here. Seeing her chances at re-election slipping away, Kelly and her allies have calculated the only way they can win is trick enough conservative Kansans to throw away their vote on Tuesday.
Make no mistake: a vote for any other candidate than Derek Schmidt is a vote for Laura Kelly.
Kansas conservatives curious about the mail and radio advertisements must consider the source of the information. Hillary Clinton’s law firm in Washington does not have Kansas’ best interests at heart. Washington Democrats propping up a spoiler do not want to advance our conservative movement.
Derek Schmidt does. I’ve known Derek for a long time, and he’s a rock solid fighter who has been a great attorney general for our state.
He’s endorsed by former President Donald Trump, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and many others across the America First movement who know he will be an incredible governor.
These Democrat-funded attacks focus on the issue of immigration. I would ask who you trust more on immigration - Donald Trump or the party of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Kelly that has flung our borders wide open.
Trump wants you to vote for Derek. The Democrats don’t — that tells you about all you need to know.
But that’s not all. Derek has been endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council, the union that represents the very Customs and Border Protection agents doing the Lord’s work patrolling our border every day and night keeping us safe. They have Derek’s back because they know he understands our Southern Border and Joe Biden abandoning his duty to protect it has invited crime and deadly drugs, like fentanyl, into our communities.
Every day, a Kansan dies from fentanyl poisoning. Derek has the experience fighting drug abuse and crime to be a great law and order governor. He certainly won’t dismiss the issue as “political games” like Laura Kelly.
Since the day this independent candidate got into the governor’s race, he’s admitted that his intention is to split the conservative vote. Shrewd political operators knew he would receive support from Democrats, because after all, they were the ones who helped him get the petition signatures required to get on the ballot in the first place. It’s sad and desperate that liberals would resort to these kinds of dirty tricks. It’s a shame the candidate is playing along.
It’s our job as conservatives to send them all a message. We do it by voting for Derek Schmidt to be our next Kansas governor. I will be and I hope you do too.
Click here to read the whole piece in The Wichita Eagle.
I wouldn't call Perkins Coie a "controversial" law firm. They serve their clients. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.Someone who once knew Hillary Clinton was spotted in their office so we know they are part of the woke left.
NYC political ads are interesting because there are so many competitive suburban races in a small area and I have no idea who they are but apparently the only two issues in these races are republicans banning abortion and Democrats supporting criminalsThese ads are great because I also have no idea where they represent. It could be upstate, Connecticut, Jersey, or Long Island. (No NYC races are competitive). Clearly the same formulas over and over of Dems love crime and Pubs love Trump and taking away abortion rights
I think the dems lose both the house and senate.

Zero people thought Trump was going to win.I would have given up on polls after 2016 happened if I was a dem.
The polls in 2016 were largely correct, wacky. Read something other than this board and twitter.
The results of Tuesday’s presidential election came as a surprise to nearly everyone who had been following the national and state election polling, which consistently projected Hillary Clinton as defeating Donald Trump. Relying largely on opinion polls, election forecasters put Clinton’s chance of winning at anywhere from 70% to as high as 99%, and pegged her as the heavy favorite to win a number of states such as Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that in the end were taken by Trump.
Whether that's true or not has nothing to do with how right or wrong the polls were. I'm not a fan of polls, particularly for national elections, but they were correct in 2016.Zero people thought Trump was going to win.I would have given up on polls after 2016 happened if I was a dem.

I think this is correct but would also add youth. Youth is youth and will probably still youth it up, but it seems like they are a bit stirred up right now and I read last week that youth voter registration is high right now.
That said, I think Wacks will get to yank one to the picture of Mitch McConnell he keeps in his wallet. Unless the ladies and youth do some darkhorsing around, I think best case is that the pubs take the house the dems gain a seat in the senate. My gut is Dems lose both house and senate, though.
Other things I think will happen:
1. Herschel will redefine the low bar of being elected to the senate of the United States of America
2. Herschel will redefine the low of my personal faith in the American electorate to actually overcome our flaws and create a solution to our current political system and it's problems
3. the next two years will be the worst political years(functionality and rhetoric wise) in my generation thus far
4. Pubs being POS thread will thrive in same time line

Herschel won't win and is almost impossible for the legislative branch to be more dysfunctional than it already has since Mitch became the majority/minority leader.
While Hillary et al are already working to delegitimize 2024.
Just be warned that something that we were assured couldn’t possibly happen, just might happen in 2022.

So, now have heard, and seen multiple times the terms "Constitutional Republic" being thrown around by pubs. I get it's correct, but it's an odd take to just cut out democracy part and say that instead.Basically you can trot out the "Constitutional Republic" thing to justify anything that dis-enfranchises people or to explain why cows in Wyoming should be more represented in the Senate than humans in California.
I figure it's to remove "dem" and replace it with "pub" to sound hipper

I vote by mail because it's 2022
Early voting is easy enough for me I’d probably do it even if mail in was an option.I think this will be my go-to in the post-COVID era. Used mail-in ballots during Covid but I have to burn a stamp and fill out a form to request a mail-in ballot.
I don’t work where I live, so I voted through the mail this year. In the past I’d never wait longer than 15 minutes, and I loved the people watching.I have a knack for knowing who's voting for who, when in line. The Mrs. and I made a game of it yesterday.

Only when I lived in urban Kansas City. I think it took me at least an hour in 2008. Not surprising that Joco or rural Kansas doesn't have lines.
This election I voted in Brooklyn on Sunday. I probably waited about 3 minutes

I love going early at the arts and heritage place, super convenient.
FWIW being gone this time i can't give a good report/feel on what the turnout looks like. I had a sneaky feeling in August that the no vote was going to do alright given how I went in the afternoon on a Friday and it took me 20+ minutes to vote and I was definitely outnumbered 3-1 girl to guy.
If that same energy is there than at least in KS I expect Laura Kelly and Sharice to keep their jobs, and in general 538 backs that.
Nationally, I don't expect that, but we'll see. Still think pubs get majority, but a fairly slim one in the house, and 50-50 senate

There’s probably some complications I don’t know about, but I’ve always thought we should split it and adjust 30 minutes next cycle and keep it there permanently. The main sticking point I imagine would be getting the rest of the world to get on board.

There’s probably some complications I don’t know about, but I’ve always thought we should split it and adjust 30 minutes next cycle and keep it there permanently. The main sticking point I imagine would be getting the rest of the world to get on board.

There will be a red wave, but it’s not looking to be as strong as people/experts/party leaders were thinking. Inflation has been the #1 exit poll topic, which does not bode well for the Republican abortion and crime talking points. If inflation improves over next year plus that sets Democrats up well for 2024.:lol:
Setting up to be underwhelming for Republicans. High young voter turnout.

Our Final House Ratings
Introduction Split Ticket is predicting a 234 to 201 Republican House majority. That would put the GOP in similar position to the one Democrats held after the 2018 midterms. Today’s update makes 7 minor adjustments, eliminates all 17 TOSSUPS, and moves one race from LEANS DEMOCRATIC to LEANS REPUBLICAN.

Normally, I'd say Walker, but Walker is insane and Trump may tell all of his followers to not vote in the runoff election again, so it's really hard to guess.
I heard this pretty decent summary of the election.It's Fetterman, dipshit.
*Fedderman flipped Pennsylvania which means Dems just need two wins out of NV, AZ, GA, and WI. This will most likely result in a Dec. 6th runoff in GA.
*Republicans are favored to take over the House, but instead of the 35+ seats they thought they would win it looks more like 8-10.
*Dems won three major Governorships in PA, MI, and WI.
*Dems defended all the majorities on their battleground states.
*Dems flipped the MI state Senate and House
Also, a lot of Trump-backed people lost.

that's not a bad miss, that's basically accurate. as you can see from the 17 tossups mentioned, the difference between 234 and 218 is much too small to reliably detect from national polls. also keep in mind that polling is not the same thing as the predictive models some forecasters construct.
as an example of a close house race that no poll is ever going to be able to call:
https://twitter.com/lxeagle17/status/1590255335486652418
I agree and it leads to my issue with split ticket and RCP. Instead of saying something like 32 races are too close to call, they say things like "split ticket is predicting a 234 to 201 republican majority."

The dildo does not care. That's true.
good thread on the house race. republican gains in the popular vote didn't translate to many in seats. if the as of yet to be satisfactorily explained red wave in ny didn't happen, dems would have held the house while losing ~ 5% in the national vote from 2020.

No, unfortunately they call and text cell phones. I don't know how this happened but I somehow got on an Alaska republican list, along with a Derek Schmidt list. I, no exaggeration, got to the point where I was getting up to 5 calls and 3 texts a day from Alaskan pollsters and republican robo calls and texts. Marking them as spam doesn't help because they call and text from different numbers every time.

Pitt! Forgot PittSEK native shop talk... Pittsburg is an interesting example of a formerly entirely blue area that's now purpleish, but likely on it's way to being red. It was a huge union area in the early/mid 20th century due to coal mining being the major industry and those democratic leanings held fairly strong through the early 2000s even though coal mining had basically evaporated. But, in the last decade or so, it's gone from being one of the only reliably blue counties in the state to more red than blue.

Vote to get government off our backs; receive conglomeration and monopoly everywhere from media to meatpacking. Vote to stand tall against terrorists; receive Social Security privatization. Vote to strike a blow against elitism; receive a social order in which wealth is more concentrated then ever before in our lifetimes, in which workers have been stripped of power and CEOs are rewarded in a manner beyond imagining.
This one is so good (x-post facebook thread, victimization of Rural America thread, America is a Constitutional Republic, etc).

Tom Charles you are 100% correct. I work on a farm and this entire state is controlled by people who have no idea what it’s like to put in a hard days work. It’s very sad
That is why she didn't campaign in our neck of the woods. Our vote didn't matter. In this day of age, Urban areas will always outnumber rural areas.
So I am gonna say this. If you don’t like my post or my views. Then unfriend me. Period. This was a shared post.

Kind of an election night pet peeve
people who don't have a good grasp on odds should just spend a little time playing poker. Like i'm fading a 9-outer so that means i probably got somewhere around a 75-80% chance of winning the hand but that doesn't mean i'm going to unclench until i'm raking in thos chips
Saw a tweet suggesting that if 217-218, democrats could convince a republican of their choice to be speaker. Would be amazing.LOL
will be interesting to see how this holds in 2024.

GOP, playing the "well he's free to say what he wants" about trump is going to murder them in the suburbs like it did in 2020.
Probably even more so in light of Jan 6. Not to mention that the economy grew 2.6 % when recession was here, prices coming down etc. Biden has had a pretty successful 2 years.
They still have zero platform unless anti woke and anti immigrant is a platform. The only policy anyone talks about is changing Social Security/medicare/mediade which is still extrememly unpopular.

biden's approval is at 40% and inflation is at 40 year high. this stuff about having biden having the most successful presidency since lbj or truman is delusional.I think most people believe that inflation is not joe Biden’s doing. When the economy is steaming, everyone is working, coming off of a year of pandemic and spending to keep people And business afloat, inflation is going to be a thing.
the only thing that saved dems in the midterms was the absolute incompetence of the republican party.

There are 3 things about Biden’s Presidency
1. He’s the most successful legislative President we’ve had since LBJ
2. Nominated and getting more judges confirmed than anyone since they expanded the Judiciary under Carter.
3. He’s the best foreign policy president since Truman.
Oh yea he’s also lowered the deficit, built roads, helped veterans, etc…

Hershel vs Warnock death match today. Will we have results by the end of the day or will this thing drag out for weeks?

Yeah. Gerrymandered red areas kicked ass for pubsgoing off of historic midterm results :dunno:
midterm vote was about 7 points more republican than 2020. (comparing house vote to presidential vote, not adjusted for uncontested house races, it'd be about ~ 5.5 points more republican if adjusted).
republicans deciding to nominate a bunch of very poor senate candidates in the competitive senate races obscures how much the vote swung.
Pretty big win, pubs keep losing on the same thingsTrump and his candidates are dumb losers.
If we’re lucky he’ll be the MAGA man’s Beto. Maybe he’ll take a shot at governor next.

I don't know who's being dumber, the Republican house members putting on this act, or Democrats who are watching with glee as if there's going to schism.so what happens here if McCarthy doesn't win? They still have to get a majority of members of the house on the same page to elect a speaker, right? Would be awesome if Boebert got Hakeem Jeffries appointed speaker of the house

I think the speaker segment is coming up after the Selectquote and some crazy super vitamin ads.

I know. But I’d take in a piece where a maga trump voter is told in dumbed down terms that his rep is voting against what trump wants and holding up anything that was hoped for with a red wave (or very slight red puddle in half of one branch).

i'm currently registered as a dem, but it's not something that means anything to me. i'll probably change my registration to republican before the 2024 primary so that i can vote in the 'pub presidential primary.
when i say that it's ridiculous, i'm saying that it's an unrealistic expectation, not that it's an undesirable expectation.
This is all very new stuff for the GOP.
Dems have a history of negotiating within their party in a way that the GOP does not. The GOP has typically run much, much more efficiently than the Dems due to their inclination to have an authoritarian approach (vote as you are told, and shut up). Dems squander vast amounts of energy trying to make sure everyone is heard and solutions are arbitrated.

Not to mention the very rough ridin' obvious difference between Omar being on her committee and Gaetz charing his. You're really telling on yourself here, purp.
This is the crap I'm talking about. Kevin McCarthy gave a rep, with a current open sex-trafficking investigation, a committee chair assignment. This guy's blind and selfish ambition is going to eff all of us over, for years. Gave up what any little federal legislative functioning we have left for a shiny line on his resume but no actual respect to go with it.

I don't like her but it's not because of her identity. Nice try. You know as well as I about her alleged marriage to her brother to gain her green card. I realize that might be garbage but she did marry her political consultant and she has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign payments to his company. Boy that's not sketchy or wrong huh? And has Gaetz been convicted of anything? Don't get mad at me because you don't like Gaetz because he's white (see what I did there? super easy to do).

None of those things you pointed out about Omar come close to alleged sex trafficking, they aren't even illegal. You also keep failing to distinguish between being on a committee and being the chair of a committee simply because a dude wanted a vote for speaker of the house.
You made a really shitty false equivalency, in a rush to devalue a point you didn't like. When you reply to this, instead of tripling down on the really bad Ilhan Omar comparison, take the time to find a better example that the democrats did in the past, I'm sure there is one. I'll tell you in advance though, I won't give a crap, I'm not a democrat and whatever they did last month, last year, last decade, won't make this appointment any less dubious.
And I'm glad you think that being an alleged sex trafficker is worse than an Anti-Semitic using campaign funds illegally is worse. Well no crap. Neither of them has been charged so that point is moot. They're both pieces of crap.

The libs cowered to the extreme left and the pubs cowered to that cocksucker, ultimately that's the point. If you want to make a big deal of being on a committee compared to being a chair, knock yourself out. Semantics as far as I'm concerned. That's how they've always played this game.

Purp based on the known facts, do you believe Gaetz is innocent of the crimes that he is alleged to have committed (asking specifically about the sex with and trafficking of minors).
I realize your opinion is moot in the eyes of the law, I’m just asking for your personal opinion.

Not for nothing, you can't be charged with anti-Semitism, sex trafficking very much is a law punishable by prison. Do you think you're posting in one of your echo chambers where mentioning Ilhan Omar is enough to make everyone else forget the point at hand? I gave you an out, you refused to take it.
All you're doing by calling Gaetz a piece of crap then using nothing than ultra conservative tropes as a means of comparison for Omar, is showing that, yeah, you don't have much basis for this other than you don't like that she's a black, lib, Muslim woman. Again, there are definitely better examples of inappropriate democratic legislative cronyism out there without having to TesAgs it up.

My dislike for her has nothing to do with her being black, Muslim or being a lib. I know you want to keep banging this drum and I find it hilarious coming from you. Me calling her out by using her as an example of the libs bowing to the extreme left and putting her on a committee to appease the squad doesn't make me racist.
The libs bowed to the squad and the pubs bowed to Maga. That was the point. I'm not sure you can find a better example of each party being complicit in trying to make an extreme group happy?

Other than as a form of punishment, is any congress member not on a committee? I thought that was part of the job?

You know what, you're right. I just looked and there are currently 133 rough ridin' house committees. Also the committee in question from the tweet, Armed Services Committee, Gaetz apparently didn't get it, Mike Rogers, the guy who tried to fight Gaetz, is listed as the chair. If the chart on Wikipedia is to be believed, there are 12 of the 133 committees that have not had a R appointed to chair them to this point. Andy Biggs appears to be the only one of the 20 holdouts who has been appointed a gavel and he's charing the Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security committee.

She's 100% full of crap when she says "I wasn't aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been very enlightening part of this journey," there's no way that's true.
That being said there's definitely a nuanced conversation to be had about her two comments about Israel in that article, but y'all don't want to have it.
There's a lot less nuanced conversation with regard to the sheer hypocrisy of the republicans removing her from committees because of antisemitism, knowing full well they have avowed antisemities within their ranks.

Why would I even care to have a conversation about her other comments if she is lying about being full of crap about Jews/money?
If you want to have a conversation about the hypocrisy of some pubs removing her when they are antisemitic, I'm all for it.
Oh, it’s nuanced so we wouldn’t understand.

Dax there are a lot of american politicians, law makers, etc. that wear an american flag pin on their jacket and claim (and, to some extent i think they genunitely do believe) that they are acting in American's best interests. And those politicians and law makers i just mentioned, i hate their guts. Does that mean i hate america? or i guess maybe that means i hate christians for this analogy to work...?
