    So much for the “Great and Terrible Oz”… Turns out he was just a humbug.

        Yeah, but according to the 538 guys, the outstanding votes favor the Republicans pretty strongly and that will wind up being VERY tight.

              I guess Maggie Hassan won pretty big in NH, which some said was going to be tight a little while back.

                I admit, I'm a bit disappointed. I don't understand Pennsylvania electing a brain-damaged Senator. And I thought Walker would have done better in Georgia.

                  It looks likely to come down to a Georgia runoff for control of the Senate again, lol…

                    So you thought GA would elect a brain-damaged senator but not PA?

                        Even without the senate you’d still get the debt ceiling crisis and endless investigations.

                        The only thing you’ll miss is not being able to block two years of judicial appointments.

                          This is interesting. I had no idea that native Americans leaned GOP, notwithstanding our own n=1 sample at TNCR.

                                  I was going to comment a few days ago in the trends thread that it was troubling that the Republican trends had stalled, but figured I was overthinking it…

                                  One thing that hurt them was there wasn’t a closer… No last unifying message…
