The whole campaign has been busting their ass.  Regardless of outcome, they deserve credit for all the hard work.  If there is to be an ugly post mortem, the ground

game won't be the issue.  I've been extremely impressed with them, and if when we win tomorrow, this may well help own the Senate and House.

Tru dat.  If Kamala loses, it's just because America is a shithole country full of angry / stupid / greedy fucks.  I'm hopeful, but still not completely off the ledge.

What a sad, pathetic existence.  She went from Fox News to NBC with her own daytime talk show (and $15-20M per year) to SiriusXM and having to lie about Trump’s “stamina” at a busted rally before he gets his ass kicked.

I just remembered that all DISD schools are closed tomorrow, so I have to take care of my 6-year-old autistic son all day. That's probably going to minimize my planned heavy drinking self-medication throughout the day. It's going to be a long day...

if you had told me an hour after the Biden Trump debate that we’d be sitting here with Kamala the favorite in almost every battleground state the night before election day, I would’ve said you were high on your own supply.   No matter what happens, the campaign was run as well as you could run a campaign, the two candidates performed beyond expectation,  and the thing that we have no control over - how many crazy stupid hateful people love Trump - we have no control over.

Win or lose, they left it all on the field.  But I think she is going to win and we will have to sit through months and months of Trump’s  lies, bullshit, and occasional violence - until we slap down the last attempts to steal the election again….

…and I think sentencing is November 26

I don't know if you are in the path of rain or not, but I imagine it will be a good day to take your son to a park and enjoy the fresh air, have a good day, and not stew on it.  Just a thought anyway.

You could watch OU-Texas highlights. I recommend the vintages 1986, 87, 96, 2000, 01, 03, 11, 12, 20, 21, or 23.

I'm pretty sure someone here works for a marketing firm that has a contract with Chili's. Or the Chili's 3 for me compared to fast food prices discussion really took on a life of it's own.

If there is an ugly post mortem, it's because the dotard is right and this is a shithole country full of shitheads.

I was actually thinking earlier today that at some point, someone doing research at Chili's will do a Texas based websearch about mentions and stumble upon this thread with pure bewilderment.  For some reason that made me very happy.

@WBT I and others here have trashed Nate Silver here for weeks.

Long story short: he don't know shit about fuck because he's putting BAD DATA into his models. Plus he works for Peter Thiel now.

If you know this and are still quoting him, sorry. Even if he's right (and I don't think he is), it's luck not skill this time.

I think it's quite pissible a lot of pollsters saw understating trump support for a 3rd straight election as an existential threat to their livelihoods and have overcorrected.  But that's not Silver’s fault

🦅 Pennsylvania - Final Thoughts It's been a long election cycle with ups and downs, but my gut feelings + data are about the same as they were in August. I think VP Harris is favored to win PA by 2 pts, give or take 1 while Senator Casey wins by 4-5. Let's break down why. ⬇️

There are limitations to how much more Trump can squeeze out of those rural areas without cracking their small urban centers - IE, State College while facing off against high turnout overall. Some data points for this include the WA primary, Selzer, the PA district polls, etc.

Concurrently, the suburbs (SEPA and co.) are highly likely to shift left again. They've done so unbrokenly in every cycle since '16 and absent decent racedep, how do you counter additional raw volume from, say, Montgomery? You look to rurals, which I think stay somewhat static.

Relatedly, the herculean effort on the part of PA Dems to keep margins in those areas down add up statewide. The ground game comparison is not close. If Trump wins, it's going to be because nothing on an organizational level had an effect - incumbent govt struggles post-COVID.

However, we do have data that points to late breakers going hard for Harris as well as her holding up weirdly well with seniors and good margins with women. Subsequently, Trump's ability to surge turnout from his base isn't going to make this thing a blowout, IMO.

Fundamentally, nearly everything suggests Harris is favored except for some polling, most of which has been breaking for her in the home stretch. You can't just run scared of assuming that polls miss for Trump again without evaluating the context of why.

Many of them have made great strides to not underestimate the GOP - modified LV screens, '20 recall, nuking Philly (lol), etc. to the point where I feel it's more likely they've slightly overcorrected. Way too many ties too before this week.

Congressionally, I expect Casey to outrun Harris by a point or two while McCormick underruns Trump by a similar amount, partially due to there being multiple right-wing 3rd parties on the ballot, hence the delta. And it's Bob Casey. I'd be surprised if he loses.

For House races, I think Wild in PA-07 and Deluzio in -17 will be fine. Fitzpatrick survives and Cartwright in -08 probably has enough juice to pull it off again, but we'll see. Perry likely barely survives, but if Harris wins and by more than expected, he'll have a problem.

The row offices are more contingent on how the top of the ticket does. DePasquale for AG is in a good spot while Treasurer and Auditor are contingent on a big enough win margin upward.

For state leg, Dems are slightly favored to keep the House, but there are a handful of marginal seats. Still, in an environment expected to be better than '22, it's likelier than not that they can hang on. State Senate leans GOP absent Laughlin in SD-49 crashing and burning.

And that's my read on things, as far as tomorrow is concerned. Who knows? I could be horribly wrong about the state of things. Happy to be and probably will be the longer I cover PA elections. But I trust my gut and what I see - it served me well in '22 and '23.

And frankly, if I could at least go 1 for 2 for the POTUS/PA SEN races, I'd be ecstatic. I've done the best I can; it's up to the voters and both campaigns now. Wish I may to be a perfect oracle, but I'm not J. Ann Selzer. Get some sleep. Long day tomorrow
