Metronomes are annoying!

You sound ticked.

Fox News has called it for James.

Trump hate, tens of millions of dollars spent, a weak GOP candidate, a low GOP turnout, and the Democrats still lost. They should be the ones gripping tonight. With all their big “guns” in use tonight the Dems didn’t get it done. That’s the big picture to take from this nailbiter.

I heard other way around. Repugnants dropped way big bucks. No where near as much for the demonrat.

We need a MAGA * party *. Then we can tell both the Democrats AND Republicans to pound sand and elect people who represent US.

You expect the Democrats to think rationally?

[Lysandru]

So the Estes situation reminds me of a story about how the Kennedy Clan got JFK’s career jump-started in a primary election. They found some schmoe with the same name as the incumbent and got him on the ballot, with no text to let the voter know which guy was which.

I figure that O’Connor will net gain around 1,200 votes from the last Franklin precinct

O'Connor received 46,340 votes in Franklin County from 198 precincts, which works out to 234 votes per precinct. How do you arrive at the 1,200 number from one precinct?

[AFPhys]

have you or anyone else seen the amount of money the candidates spent in this race?

[Ken H]

WIN!!

[Right Wing Assault]

Franklin 100%.
