    A lost Republican seat is a vote for democracy!

    Missouri definitely in the running. For work a few years ago I was there, far outside St Louis, rural. Yikes. But I could say same for rural Texas, rural AZ…America gets real weird in a lot of places.

    there used to be a guy on KATU that was a really good predictor of the elections. Tim Hibbits maybe? Wonder whatever became of him. He was a legend.

    Red Wave? It appears the Republicans have instead let out a meager Red Shart.

    As of a little bit ago, NYT was projecting Boebert based on remaining votes to be counted... hope they're wrong (wouldn't be the first time!)....

    You're absolutely correct. Similar to 2016, many polls weren't indicative of the election results.

    BTW, were you at all surprised by DeSantis's drubbing of Crist? I figured he'd win, but not by that much.

    Red wave is maybe a tide pool. Almost all gains due to redistricting, not flipped seats. And there were flips in both directions.

    Listen to women.

    We kept hearing that women's rights were fading as issue. Chris Christie mansplained to a group of women that abortion rights weren't important. Pollsters focused on nonstop Fox "crime" reports of scary dark people.

    And in the end, women turned out.

    It’s comical that on my morning drive to the gym I turn on 1190 KEX and these Republican talking heads are BEMUSED, BEFUDDLED and BELEAGUERED.
