[W:1607] ***2022 General Election Thread***

Beto O'Rourke lost primarily because of self-inflicted wounds. He should have been way more competitive than he was. This was one of the races that should have dragged on to the next day.
beto lost because he was a pretentious liar, he flip flops more than a house of pancakes, talks about taking everyones guns then refuses to answer questions like did you say something when he was on video saying that exact thing.

He is also not popular except among die hard liberals, he is a far left nutjob, in texas you can elect a democrat governor, but when you go full on ultra left gun grabber nutjob then pretend what you said yesterday was not really what you said, you do not stand a chance in texas.

My view is the hard left pushed beto to the top, like they thought candidate that had a good chance of winning in san francisco was going to win texas, there were likely many democrats who could have challenged abbot and won, beto was by far not one of them.
 
JD Vance put the hurtin' on Tim Ryan.

Too bad. That would have been game over for a GOP Senate.

I'm thinking Fetterman is going to pull off a tight one, here.

He's outperforming Biden statewide. (y)

Goodness--is Georgia going to decide the whole Senate again? 😱

Just thinking of Oz representing my state gives me nausea
 
Minnesota's biggest anti-Semite & defunder supporter Ilhan Omar looks to keep her seat.
Which goes to show the people of her district are ROCK STUPID.
Plenty of New Yorkers that way too. Schumer will be easily reelected. They complain about crime in NYC, then vote for the people that brought the crime and promise to continue to allow criminals out without bail. I guess that's what they want there.
 
That "say anything" prick JD Vance won.
 
Walker and Oz aren’t performing where they need to.

I think you’re going to see PA go to Fetterman
 
Arizona is being a bit of a shocker. Still early, only 47% reporting.
 
He and Biden can go get ice cream together.

Seriously. Well Done, GOP. Mehmet Freaking Oz.
Hard to believe that even Oz couldn't beat a walking freak show that campaigned on letting murderers and other criminals out of jail. What the hell has happened to PA?
 
Kemp defeats Stacey Abrams for GA governor. Our Senate race remains too close to call.
 
it’s clear that Florida and Texas remain the real power bases of the GOP and other state Republican parties really need to start rebuilding their party apparatus with help from FL and TX parties. The FL and TX parties are succeeding in Diverse and urban states in a way that other states should be performing in white states
Hmmm?
 
Walker and Oz aren’t performing where they need to.

I think you’re going to see PA go to Fetterman
The state is 72% counted. Red counties are almost tapped out. Philadelphia County (Philly) is only half counted and Delaware County (South of Philly) is reporting at 9%. It's going to be blue boosts from here on in Pennsylvania I do believe.
 
I agree that Walker has an advantage in a run off

Maybe not, though.

cpwill made an interesting observation. A popular Governor is pulling Walker along. That goes away in rhe run-off.
