Let the games begin. If you know of a conservative that hasn't voted yet, drag him to the polling station!

So, you were expecting 60+ Rs in the Senate?

Agree!!
How are we losing or races this close?
Is the cheating just a given at this point?

Even the Old Man in the Mountain gave up (on New Hampshire).

Yep. New Hampshire is like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown, then pulling it away at the last minute when he kicks. We always have high hopes for NH, but in the end, it's really North Massachusetts - or (soviet) Red Hampshire, as you called it, who knows what evil?.

New England and the northeast is hopeless and gone forever. It's gonna be in my rear-view mirror in a few months.

You are truly a fool. New blood and new leadership.

Remember the economy and how great things were 2 years ago. We need a doer and not another bloviator. Trump is going to run again. JUST MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR LITTLE PIE HOLE SHUT AND VOTE FOR HIM. CAPICE?

I don’t think this is cheating. The GOP just didn’t turn out in the numbers expected. Still need to see how things shape up on the west coast and some races are still too close to call. Can still end up in control of Congress. Just not the tsunami many of us expected. Florida set a tone that did not spread nationally.

Therein lies the problem. Our candidates have to raise money. Our own PACs should only be playing supporting roles, not having to run the whole war. Look at all of the cash from money bombs O’Rourke and Abrams got - why are we not this organized on our side? Sitting on our hands and keeping our wallets closed does not win a race. No, we do not need “the donor class”. There aren’t 1 million conservatives in this country that could chip in $10 a candidate? Of course there are. Actually, many, many more. It’s a crying shame.

Yeah... there was a lot of ‘ “no one expected these numbers to be so close” thinking about the polls... close doesn’t work in politics.

And the exit polls.

76% said the country was going in the wrong direction.
And they vote to continue going there???

Fetterman with 2m votes. The man can’t form a coherent sentence.

Florida showed how it was done...and that is what must be studied and repeated by all other states.

The way the country is, historically speaking, I thought it was possible. Look around you. We are on the verge of collapse. The whole world knows it but us.

“Oregon is moving Red. Lots of good news so far may go from 1 House Rep to 2-3 possible wins. Gov within a point with 50% in.”

Sorry, but Oregon is a really hard state to get excited about at “50% in” unless you want to be massively disappointed.

If the GOP can even just take CD-5 from the nutzoid liberal who defeated the slightly more moderate liberal in the Rat primary, that would be a solid accomplishment. Taking CD-4 and/or the Governor race would be phenomenal but still pretty damn unlikely.

I haven’t paid attention to Hannity for years. Was never a fan of the celebrity running for the Senate, but jeeez....an Irish Setter ought to be able to beat Fetterman, in a sane world. I’m left to conclude that we no longer live in a sane world.

And I just saw that Oregon’s draconian gun measure was leading by about 2%.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the GOP so badly underperform expectations. This makes me sick to think Pelosi could remain as Speaker.

Dixon in MI and Zeldin in NY are not conceeding.

In Iowa, 4 House seats. The 3 R incumbents hold, looking like a D to R flip in the other. So that is good.

A fun one from Iowa too. A constitutional amendment was on the ballot enshrining the right to keep and bear arms. Iowa was one of about 6 states that didn't have that in its constitution. It is going to win 65-35% Good stuff.
