Lamb vs. Saccone Special Election PA18

NY Times ^ | March 13, 2018

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.

[Jane Long]

That’s great news, SpeedyinTexas!

[Theodore R.]

Losing by 6,483 with 223 precincts (38 percent of total)

NY Slimes has not swung back 11 points to +1 for Lamb.
Oh brother.

I hate the way Pence speaks. He says a bunch of stuff. And. Then. Ends. Every. Word. With. A. Period. So. The. Audience. Knows. It’s. Time. To. Clap.

Phony.

[KC_Conspirator]

I share your alarm. Since Nov. its been one loss after another, coming up on 40+ seats.

I see people here making excuses.

This as a whole lies with the crappy RNC chairwoman of the Romney family. Raises all types of money, YET loses every race. Can't organize and GOTV. Time to fire her.

Saccone just pulled ahead in Greene

This is for a Congressional seat.

Thank you!!!

[11th_VA]

60% chance of winning ??? (Hey, I never doubted )

[Klemper]

With Pence alone, we could have had President Madam Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“Pence is boring.”

Pence is an inspiration.

[kabar]

Yep these are still projections. The Reps need to turn out in Greene, Westmoreland, and Washington counties.

This election is important if Trump demonstrates that he has coattails. If Trump can get the Reps and Independents to turn out in November, the Reps may be able to retain the House.

[bigbob]

You might be more at home on DU with that kind of talk.

Jackass.

[romanesq]

12% swing the other way on the NY Slimes meter now.

It’s predicting +2% for Lamb but fairly early.

[Theodore R.]

Losing by 7,337 with 235 precincts (40 percent of total)

NYT says Lamb has 52 percent chance of winning.

[JPJones]

Ruh-roh.

[11th_VA]

Any Republican that runs with Trump’s ideas (enforce borders, etc) is a winner - there just doesn’t seem to be many that will . I think Pence would ...

[over3Owithabrain]

Keep in mind NYT projections are fluid in their own words and will get more accurate as votes come in. Hence the wild swings now.

Saccone according to reliable vote watchers will take this.

[dictatorMA]

Fox just showed Saccone down by well over 10pts as of 9:00 pm. What’s going on?
