  1. Question for @Anastasis or anyone else with experience with PredictIt. In a market for an event with one outcome or another, such as which party will control the House, why is there an option to buy "yes" and "no" for both outcomes? If I think the Dems will win, I can buy a Yes for Dems or a No for GOP, but those identical outcomes aren't priced the same. What's that about?
  2. Well actually a transgender bar but tomato, tomatoh
  3. My understanding is that some third party group who doesn't like AOC submitted Crowley's name as their candidate and is distributing fliers with Crowley on them.
  4. Cray recognize cray.
  5. With credit to Gillum, the white nationalists/abject racists believe the republicans are racist and in line with their views. So there’s that. Richard Spencer and his ilk are not clamoring to support Democrats.
  6. Beto’s biggest challenge for a long time was name recognition. It’s in this thread. His numbers at the beginning were like 40% no opinion. Going moderate was never going to help with name recognition, which is clearly no longer an issue. It also so happens that running moderate isn’t who Beto is which would have been disingenuous.
  7. The Politico article second guessing, before the election, that Beto should have run as a moderate ignores not only the past results in Texas, where moderate milquetoast candidate after candidate have been trounced, but also the current reality, where in the special elections, primaries, and polls, progressives running as unapologetic progressives have had real success.
  8. Yeah Karl Rove talking in hindsight about a campaign he knows more about is really fucking rich given his epic meltdown on Fox News on election night in 2012.
  9. Did Tammy Duckworth have a picture of her with no legs on her signs when she first ran? Just asking questions.
  10. I give Crenshaw credit for beating a tough field of republicans in the primary. I have nothing against him personally. He will probably win. Just would prefer someone who had more experience since he will be representing me in all likelihood. And yes I’d rather have Crenshaw than Culberson.
  11. If you guys can’t see a difference between Crenshaw’s and Beto’s respective qualifications before running for Congress then bless your heart. Not that you need real experience to parrot Trump I suppose.
  12. So unemployed. Got it.
  13. I have no idea who Terry Lowery or Hotze is. I’m a liberal Democrat who doesn’t keep up with local GOP politics all that much. I personally know both Lanier and Roberts but didn’t have a dog in that fight since I voted in the Dem primary. Edit: I recall reading about this in the Chron. So what job does Crenshaw have where we can afford to buy and remodel a house in the heights, (but not able to rent an apartment instead of staying with parents)? That’s a real question because even Crenshaw’s own campaign website doesn’t list any career or employment info other than being in the Navy years ago. It’s not just about the money either. It’s about being qualified for Congress.
  14. There is so much wrong in that article regardless of the outcome Tuesday.
  15. I’m in the Litton vs Crenshaw district. Yeah it sucks for Crenshaw that he lost an eye and great that he served but he has no business being in Congress. He and his wife live with his parents and he hasn’t had a job since leaving the military and getting a masters. Of course his policy positions are the usual Trump nonsense.
  16. When you’re trying to steal an election, best thing to do is accuse the other side. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/kemp-charges-georgia-democrats-attempted-voter-hack-abrams-fires-back-n931011
  17. Fun fact: Stacey Abrams has a MPA from Texas.
  18. 538 rates them as a C with a slight R bias.
  19. Harris County back up to over 64,000 for Thursday.
  20. And then sign you up for cat facts
  21. Just donated to Janz again based on this tweet.
  22. So one Senator who is no longer in office and now disavows a previous position is what these idiots are relying upon? Goodbye and good luck.
  23. Gun talk on Beto thread not going away.
