This wasnt a blue wave, it was horrible messaging....

Saccone, the GOPe and their Pacs offered horrible messaging. The ads and message they used here was exactly the same message they could have used in any generic Republican for the last 15 years

It’s like 2016 never happened!!! Ther MAGA I and D voters who voted for Trump are not going to turn out for raw meat R messaging.

If the messaging they used for this race is their plan for November they will lose the house.

Geez, Saccone is down by 95 votes.

1% still hasn’t reported in Moreland where Saccone leads by 10K. 1% of 10K is 100.

Saccone gains 100 more votes than Lamb which would give Saccone a win by 5 votes.

Hows that?

Holy crap.

And down the stretch they go..................

You won’t know until absentees are counted tomorrow, is my guess.

When a race is close as this is, it ends up being a repeat of Minnesota/Franken or innumerable races in Wisconsin where the Democrooks “find” more ballot boxes in trunks, ice houses and so forth, then triumph. A travesty that Republicans allow to continue for some godawful reason.

Straight math. Actual votes by county, adjusted for % reporting.

Current votes / % in = projected total

8000 absentee ballots will be counted tomorrow, and 2 prescincts will not count their ballots until tomorrow.

So this will be undecided until sometime tomorrow, or later, and looks like it could be close enough for either candidate to challenge in a recount.

even worse than losing; the MSM narrative will drag out for days or a week or more, and be “republicans injured; trump in disarray. midterms looming”

mika is going to be orgasmic in the morning.

I’m assuming all precincts have equal size, and that percentages of actual votes will continue.

Which two precincts? In Moreland?

statement of a false alternative. I was simply telling you to stop shouting the guy down for posting a pretty accurate reply.

“8000 absentee ballots will be counted tomorrow, and 2 precincts will not count their ballots until tomorrow.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Good info. The 2 precincts out are in Saccone’s best county, Westmoreland.

Any indication of which county the 8000 absentee ballots are from? Allegheny = bad, all others = good.

What, that it is going to be a bloodbath in November? Based on what, CNN?

The only people who think it is going to be a “Blue Wave” disaster for Republicans in November are the alphabet networks. Yeah, they’re accurate.

Besides, that post wasn’t a “Shout down”. I didn’t use all caps or a make an ad hominem attack.

The fact is this was a lousy candidate and a lousy campaign.
