Setting the stage for everything going nuts Tues night

Wow.  R Dictatorship?  Do they think this election will bring in a new President as well as Congressional majorities? 


Who listens to that and takes it seriously?

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!

Just got this from Senator Mark Warner....

"The first being Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s race in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District – which the Cook Political Report just announced is now a “toss up.”"

YES! Please let that Pelosi Butt Crack Sniffer go down in flames!

Although to be honest, her opponent isn't exactly a prize pig.

Nothing offensive or NSFW.  Just indicative of how stupid the Beto campaign has become.

OK, cool. What I saw made me think the individual was doing a strip tease for Beto.

So Bill Maher, who seemed to be stepping away from the full-on lefty nutbaggery, has stepped back into it. Tuesday will be the last day of America as we know it.

And some gaslighting from Pelosi
Quote
    Families around the world – including here at home – are feeling the sting of global inflation.

    Democrats are fighting to lower Americans' cost of living: slashing health care costs, easing energy bills & creating good-paying jobs.

    Republicans are fighting for their own power.

My expectations are pretty close to this although polling continues to get harder.

Quote from: https://www.thedailybeast.com/pollsters-have-no-fcking-idea-whats-going-to-happen-during-2022-midterm-elections
No one really knows because, like every election, pollsters are extrapolating their best guess based on a set of assumptions. But unlike previous elections, the assumptions are getting bigger.

According to Dave Wasserman, the U.S. House editor at the Cook Political Report, the big problem is that “response rates suck.”

“We’re down to 1 percent of people on a good day who are willing to talk to a pollster for free,” he told The Daily Beast.
Polling can work well if you understand who responds & who doesn't and you can correct for that. Those corrections are becoming a bigger factor though and that's going to cause polls to miss.

Shades of 2020

Quote
As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins.

Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived “dumps” of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days — or even weeks — following Election Day.

ABC News reports that an artificial GOP lead, or ‘red mirage,’ will likely appear Tuesday

I don't remember past mid-terms, but that would be a bigger swing than normal I think.  Hopefully we will know in a day or two, not a week.

I'm in a dem machine city, so this is pretty much skewed... But I'm seeing SO much more Dem spending than GOP... And... One of the basic themes is "democracy hinges on this."
 
I figure if they say it enough...

I had a horrible dream last night in which the polls were 100% wrong and it was a Democratic wave in both the House and the Senate.

That was unsettling... and I'm still a bit unsettled.

Well, if they get their wish to just keep counting votes for however many days after election day that it takes them to win, the nightmare may come true.
