They need to square their MO/IN predictions besides "a feeling." Because Donnelly has been up in almost every gold-standard poll and Claire is either tied or ahead (Hawley is like, only led in Republican friendly or Republican internal polls).   There's been huge, record midterm turnout in Lake/Marion in IN which are the Democratic strongholds.

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. 

 

Not Sure if Posted, but he literally can't take his name off the ballot unless he moved out of the district and was disqualified.

Just a reminder for all of you degenerates (hi, me too):

Go to bed after the polls close on the West Coast and if/when they call AZ and NV Sen.  Because most of those California/Washington races may not be called for WEEKS due to VBM.  Ballots just have to be postmarked by 11/6.  Could take a while.  We had primary races go for 4-5 weeks before they got called.

What's funny about the NYT Upshot polls is that when I've watched them the past two days, almost all of them had 10% undecided voters. How in the fuck are there that many undecided voters right now? I guess I shouldn't be surprised that many people don't go to any lengths to inform themselves of who to vote for.

Actually they like AOC and Crowley. They usually just certify the Dem nominee. This year, they decided to nominate Crowley before the Dem primary. That party needs to actually dissolve if it isn't going to have its own nominees. He isnt running, but couldnt get off the ballot without changing residence.

Anyway, he may get a few votes, but it won't be close.   AOC now benefits from straight Dem voters who don't know any candidates names. 

Also, she isnt campaigning now either.  Nor is the irrelevant GOP candidate. If Cuomo wasnt campaigning, you wouldnt even know there is an election here tomorrow.

Hopefully that Trump make the gospel great again sign is either some really on the nose satire or a Russian campaign. Otherwise we’re living in the Left Behind version of Revelations.

Sigh.  You know the truth.  It involves a shitty miniseries with Kirk Cameron.

They don't push them.  But Cohn does usually mention that the vast majority of them seem to favor Democrat control and/or lean towards the D candidate.  It's a matter of them breaking at the last minute, a la every other wave election.

This is the shit I was talking about yesterday.  There are so many districts that don’t get polled because they’re just assumed to go red and there’s no reason to waste the money on it.

I bet at least 10% of Americans don't realize tomorrow is election day.

There is 100% a GOP member of congress out there who has put in minimal reelection effort, thinks they've got it in the bag, and is going to get a very uncomfortable call around 9:00 pm on election night.

Well that is an easy bet. Babies don't know shit (which may mean they are better informed than 40% of voters. . .)

Overnight RCP moved the WV Senate race from Leans Dem to Tossup.  Just a few days ago it was rated Likely Dem.

Their projection now is 50 R, 43 D and 7 Tossups.  They are moving more in line with actual early voting trends.

yeah, well, WV and R belong to each other

Anything that falls to 5 points or below automatically moves into "toss-up" by RCP.  RCP is an aggregator, they just average out polls and call it a day.  They aren't moving shit because of anything happening on the ground.  Don't make shit up.  More likely an older poll dropped out and moved the average down to 5.0, causing the automatic movement into toss-up.  538 still has this as Likely D

I’ll add that theirs about 10 house races the Dems are heavily favored in which are labeled by a RCP as “ toss ups”. Same thing for repubs too. About 10 -15

Watch Abbott lose. 

It's going to be some longtime incumbent who decided not to campaign.  Or, interestingly enough, something like Mississippi Senate special election.  3 candidates, no party ID, top 2 make the run-off.  Wonky things can happen there.

As much as i don't want to see the WV senate seat flip, part of me would get some joy to see Manchin lose even after he voted for Kavanaugh to appease the repubs in the state.

I would think that any of McCaskill, Donnelly or Heitkamp would gladly trade places with Manchin right now.

I was reading about the Steve King race in Iowa.  A local newspaper editor was quoted as saying that he couldn't believe how lazy King was being with this election cycle.  The editor felt that King could out-debate and out-campaign his opponent but he was phoning it in this cycle.    And that was even before the events over the past 2 weeks.    

When you take your constituency for granted, then some of your supporters may take it for granted that you will win.  And they won't bother to show up to the polls.

Too tired to campaign when he stays out late at klan rallies three or four times a week.

So, all these illegals are going to flood the polling places tomorrow in Georgia, with valid voter registrations?  Meaning Kemp didn't do his job to reject these for being undocument immigrant noncitizens?  And they should trust him to then do a bang-up job of governor?

Bullshit.  Leaders are supposed to lead.  That’s no longer the GOP way.  Rather than lead the country toward a brighter future, the GOP has resigned itself to indulging the worst paranoid fantasies of its moron base.  The GOP is now the enabler, helping its friends find a vein for a shot of ignorance and vitriol.  That shit might feel good now.  But no nation has ever been made better off by the kind of divisive, idiotic shit the GOP currently peddles to its rage-junkie base.  It will rot this great nation, and the GOP’s choice to enable rather than lead will be to blame.  

tl;dr: be a man and take responsibility for the bullshit your party condones.

What about BLM, Antifta etc?  Who is fucking leading from the left?  Obama?  He is too busy flailing his arms and talking about himself to lead.
