oh i'm watching. but I've gotta assume monstrous recession + average candidate still only gets us '08 KY-SEN numbers, and that was mcConnell winning solidly.
I wouldn't recommend that. She's in the race mostly so she doesn't botch the house seat that she lost last cycle for a second time.
Daniel Dale @ddale811:37 PM: Bevin had been down at least 15 points
11:41 PM: Bevin had been down 17 points
12:15 AM: Bevin might've been down 20 points
Going to bed, very excited to see what Bevin was down when I wake up

it is because they are also racist fucks
that's the political science here
Or at least that applies to the people who vote. Only 23k people in Warren voted. A city with 133k People.
It's a good day in the Commonwealth.

We can only hope that the legal challenges the bill is about to face take it down.
Sports betting legalization hanging on for dear life in Colorado. Going to come down to what the margins are in Metro Denver, maybe.

Thank you VA-ERA and KY-ERA for your votes that contributed to the significant wins by the Democratic Party.
Kind of expected going in the Dem flip would happen but I'm glad I helped make that happen, even just a little.

Love seeing this headline!!!:
Those south-of-Cincinnati suburbs that make up 10% of Kentucky's population are a bellwether for Ohio (yes, I know that Era loves to gleefully write Ohio off as perma-red).
A shift in Ohio suburbs, plus the always growing immigrant population, can easily offset the GOP gains in Ohio the last few years.
I really think that's a beat-up. If you examine the results, Republicans did quite well. Bevin was always in trouble because he pissed a lot of Kentuckians off, both D and R. And he barely lost. Also, Kentuckians have a habit of electing Democratic candidates. Since 1931, there's only been 4 Republican governors.
I don't see tonight as a rejection of Trump at all.
He's crowing about southern states too which would most likely go for him again anyway but slimmer than in 2016 and he doesn't even consider the pendulum swing in the other states that where swing. He still doesn't get it because he got lucky in 2016 and his bubble and fake internal poles have him convinced. Please proceed.

NoVA managed to kick out the only remaining Republican within their delegation!!!!:
VA resident here. I just looked it up, and it seems like every single Dem I voted for won their race.
This state still has its fair share of problems, but I'll admit today made me feel a bit better about it. Thanks to everyone else here that helped make today happen.
Virginia is blue.

Congrats to Virginia tonight! I would have voted but there was nothing in my district. I wish MN was more blue aside from the cities, everywhere else is purple or red. Makes me nervous for 2020 with Trump and MN Republicans pushing for MN to flip red. I realize it hasn't flipped red in like 50 years, but my district only won Democrat by like 3 points.
Not surprised that Gossett lost, especially after reading that article. Seems like he felt he could just coast on his accomplishments in the past (Civil rights leader etc.)

Virginia Democrats finally flipped both houses of the legislature after being a clear majority blue state for a decade or so (yay gerrymandering and low blue voter turnout).
Maybe we can actually legalize weed now like other sane states.

Awesome, it has worked out well in Maine state-wide. It gave ME-2 to Golden in 2018.
In an important bellwether for 2020, Democrats won pretty big in southeastern Pennsylvania. The Philly suburbs went even bluer than the 2018 midterms. A third-party candidate endorsed by Elizabeth Warren won a long-held Republican city council seat in Philadelphia. Delaware County, home to many working-class whites, was a clean sweep for the Democrats.
Did my part for VA-76. Voted against Chris Jones not because he's a Republican, but because he's a lying scumbag who screwed over our non profit health care providers, refused to pass background checks after the worst mass shooting in HR history, and tried to pass himself off as an independent on medicare even though he voted against it several times. Almost got a family member killed. Party line asshole, good riddance.

If you think I'm a secret Trumper, you're woefully mistaken. I'm pessimistic because I was all in on Hillary and woke up on November 8 thinking I was about to see the first female president crowned. I was fucking devastated, and vowed never to get carried away again.
So I absorb a mix of equal conservative and liberal media and so far, I'm drawing the conclusion that us anti-Trumpers have plenty to be concerned about.
whyyy would you do this to yourself
Anyway, if you have doubts about Trump"s reelection, check out this thread.
What? I openly hate-read Fox News and Breitbart and conversely subscribe to WaPo and NYT. I want to get an accurate picture of what each side is thinking because I'm not going through Election Day 2016 again like a fucking idiot.

NRA scared about the impending Democratic takeover of Virginia, trying to claim that Bloomberg bought the VA election:

Just an update, they did the recanvass here in Kentucky today and there were no changes to the vote count. Bevin concedes
