The elimination of the Libertarian candidate (who got around 2%, last I looked) will help Hersch.

I'm not so sure of that. I think the abortion issue is the cause of much of last night's red fizzle, based primarily on what I saw posted on FB for months by my old high school & college female friends (I'm in my mid-50s). Even some that are fairly conservative in other areas were one-issue voters this time. And that issue was abortion access.

I suspect that's why Kemp won his race pretty handily, while Walker did not. I think many semi-conservative women were okay with Kemp but couldn't bring themselves to risk a Republican Senate that would pass a national ban on abortion. But they also disliked Warnock - so they chose the Libertarian as the lesser of 3 evils. They'll sit out the runoff, so their Libertarian votes won't go to Walker. Obviously that doesn't account for all the Libertarian votes, but my hunch is that it accounts for a fair chunk of them.

The thing is, Roe v. Wade should have pretty much de-politicized the abortion issue, because it’s in the hands of the States now. But then Miss Lindsey goes shooting her mouth off and it was like Manna from Heaven for the Democrats.

VT and Michigan joined CA in aborting up to birth last night.

Hershel should be pounding on the late term abortion issues.
