A thread to discuss the results.
I feel like Lamb has a lot of momentum, has run as a moderate, and has run a better campaign. I'll predict he'll win tonight (although I'd like to see Saccone win).
NYT does a good job with election results.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
is that the liberal area of the district?
Time for Ronna Romney McDaniel to walk the plank.
Losing by 3,317 with 60 precincts (10 percent of the total)
Yeah, but just last night on Facebook I was talking to a couple of buds of mine from the 101st, one of whom was/is a flaming liberal.
We used to have knockdown drag-outs when Reagan was President.
So, they do exist.
But he turns off a lot of people ... I will stick with him ... but I’m just sayin ...
Yep. I knew Lamb might win the same way I knew that Moore was going to lose. People said there were Jones signs all over the place, and they weren’t seeing Moore signs. I was reading the same reports this time.
Yeah. I live in the area ... I kind of know it, but I’m not an expert. I think Saccone will pull this out ... Lamb isn’t getting the numbers I thought he’d get in some areas. please don’t get too excited as I am a layman, but I think Lamb might not make it :-).
The Dems are certainly going to get their narrative though ... even if they lose.
There are going to be about 230,000 total votes, so be patient.
Losing by 4,356 with 76 precincts, heavily Allegheny returns
Why? Was she the one who pissed off the steelworkers enough to go work for the Democrat? Was she the one who was too lazy to raise money? Is she the one who is so uninspiring that Trump voters don’t care if she wins?
NYT’s prediction meter now has this as a tossup.
I guess that means that there’s more red districts left than blue...
You’re right. He’s not getting the numbers. From what I’m looking at, Saccone is very likely to take this.
Hope you’re right ... we need this one badly ...
Pennsylvania, like everything else in this country, is politically divided. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking President Trump.
The question will be whether Lamb can run out fast enough and hide. The votes out favor Saccone but not sure there are enough of them.
Right now, NYT is estimating 49.9% to 49.6%. R to win.
Its still early.
Go to the NYT map.....it is mostly in Allegheny area....most of the red areas haven’t been counted.
“Losing by 4,356 with 76 precincts, heavily Allegheny returns”
Lamb doesn’t appear to be doing what he needs to be doing in the parts of Washington County that are coming in (i.e. city of Washington). I still think Saccone has a shot though this is *ridiculously* close so far.
I’m happy to report that where I live is solid red by a 40% margin :-) (it is so refreshing to say that having lived in one of the blue areas on the map for a long time ... saw it drift from a ridiculously nice, picturesque small town to “on the verge” ... only took 20 years too).
Now 50.1% to 49.3%. R to win
“I kind of know it, but I’m not an expert. I think Saccone will pull this out ... Lamb isn’t getting the numbers I thought he’d get in some areas.”
Thank you for this glimmer of light. Even with the big lead for Lamb, the NY Times just backed off on predictor arrows and is back at a dead heat.
You must have hit it right on the head. The Lame numbers in Alleghany are not coming in where needed. That’s the indicator for the moment.
