Midterm projections. (1 Viewer)

[SamAndreas]

I've voted and election day is something like 5 or so days away. That means it's time for projections as to how it goes this time.

Usually I have a good sense, and good track record for being right using the simple time proven system of "who's turn it is". That's the method where one ignores everything about the current issues, and who is running. One only uses who's the incumbent along with the last election's outcome to predict the next election.

Under that simple system this upcoming midterm election is a case of it historically being the Republican's turn.

But this time it doesn't quite fit that normal mode. Trump threw it all out of whack. Republicans seem to be entirely capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this time. So instead of thinking that the Republicans are going to win this one, I don't know.

That's my projection. I Don't Know. I'm a bit hopeful this time instead of being adjusted to the idea that the Republicans are going to win this one for sure.

Saw that. CNN is still being iffy with the numbers.

Probably because of their new right wing lean

Need to keep their viewing number up for that ads money. Love their “will be right back with an important update result from AZ” that doesn’t come up 3 hours later.

I swear they teased “big vote count for Arizona coming any minute” for an hour and a half

Ironically, only NBC has called it. No one else have.

I tend to agree with this take on whether Hobbs should have debated Lake, but it’s easy to say this in hindsight and I think Tom may have criticized the decision at the time, not sure.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

CNN has just called it for Hobbs.

Well then right wing left wing some things haven't changed.

You're welcome. (For the AZ results).

It looks like Rs will win both AZ-1 (called) and AZ-6. This pretty much guarantees them the House. Ds needed both to hold unless CA does something weird.

So much for a gracious concession speech, lol

Pretty sure that response is in chapter 1 of their losing elections playbook.

Last count I saw was they were up to 217

CNN has it at 216 Rs while NBC projects it at 220. It looks like Rs finish around 220. Some big races Ds lost: Boebert, AZ-1 and AZ-6, 4 seats in NY and FL each.
