I’m kinda hoping the Democrats take Virginia. Medicaid Expansion is going to break the state and I don’t want a Republican scapegoat.

This is all it takes for breathless articles from The Hill these days. November must not be looking so hot.

[Sooth2222]

But the results are another hint that Democratic voters are motivated to show up in low-turnout elections -- a trend that could prove decisive in November's midterm elections.

True. Except that November isn't likely to be a low-turnout election.

Well, we have made a big deal out of the fact that 1,000 seats across the country flipped to us, during the Obama years. I guess they will take one here and there as a big victory. But they may be right that Dems will be more motivated than Pubbies this November. I sure hope Trump gets out the vote so we don’t lose the House and we gain seats in the Senate this year.

The seat had been held by a Democrat as recently as 10 years ago, so it isn’t like they flipped a generation-long Republican stronghold. And part of it could be a result of the Greitens fiasco. I wouldn’t read a lot into it.

Shows you how well Republicans did yesterday...the Hill has to tout a MO. state Senate race as evidence for their ‘blue wave’ fantasy.

And..?

Turnout was about 20%, which is high for a special election. Democrat turnout was stronger than Republican.

Oh, noes! Out of the thousands of seats that were up for grabs across the nation, ONE flipped to the 'RATS!

We're doomed!

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Do voters have to vote again for this seat, this November?

[Manly Warrior]

So, what is the net tally across the nation as this election cycle progresses? One senate seat in MO does not make a wave, in either direction. Tell me by an overall plus/minus tally how the sates legislatures seats are looking?

If you look at the state of MO as a whole, you’ll see a strangle hold by Republicans in both houses, the governors office and across most political entities state wide, only the inner cities of MO ( two, really, three if we count that leftist elitist academia “hotbed” of Columbia) have a DEM lean or strength.

Wake me when states’ start leaning left....

Lauren Arthur writes like a typical journalism major: too many overworked words and subordinificated clauses. UGH!

Plus she’s obviously a lefty, surprise, surprise...

[j.havenfarm]

I went to the link but I don’t see this headline on the Hill: “In California, GOP recalls Democrat state senator, replaces with Republican woman.
Democrats lose supermajority in state senate.” I’m sure it’s just an oversight and will be corrected in the next edition.

[centurion316]

She is a flaming Lefty, way to the left of her constituents. This may cause her problems down the road.
