If you would have seen the advertising out here, for Kelly and against Masters, it would have been clear that Maters never stood a chance.Another Trump-endorsed candidate bites the dust in the Senate race in Arizona. I hate to break it to ya'll but the GOP is not going to get the senate majority. Trump is blaming McConnell for not spending much money in Arizona, but Trump didn't either.
I was reading Kelly raised more than $52 million. Most of it most likely from outside the state. Warnock has raised more than $111 million. There's no way one can raise that kind of money in this state, so you know his money came from outside sources as well.If you would have seen the advertising out here, for Kelly and against Masters, it would have been clear that Maters never stood a chance.
The same pretty much holds true with Kari Lake.
Not sure who to blame, but the GOP got hammered everyday in and on the media.

I remember how the Dems would blast the GOP for accepting so much money from the Koch brothers while pretending they were not receiving hundreds of millions from Buffett and Soros.
Say it isn’t so! Another childhood memory destroyed.Jimmy Buffett is a leftist ?
Uggggh..... just wait & see if I listen to Margaritaville ever again.
They will anyway.... and the sad part: a lot of stupid people will believe them too.Otherwise, the Democrats will blame the Republican house for the economy, inflation, etc. in 2024.
MATH IS HARD !!!I'm watching something interesting in Alaska with it's RCV, (Ranked Candidate Voting). In both the senate and house races it looks like the candidate that is leading when all of the votes have been counted, will not be the winner. A lot of democrats want RCV quite badly, so there must be some advantage in it, but I'm having trouble getting my head around the logic of it all.
The basic concept is an open primary where the top 4 or 5, (4 for Alaska), move on to the general election. In the general election the voters then vote for as many of the candidates as they like by ranking them from 1-4 (or 5). The winner must get 50% plus 1. If that doesn't happen, then the candidate with the fewest votes is dropped and his/her #2 choice is redistributed to the remaining candidates and a new total is taken. This continues until someone gets 50% plus 1. All of this monkey motion is handled by computers, which throws up a big flag with me and it makes me wonder how you go about doing a recount. Additionally, I can't figure out what happens to the #3 and 4 choices and when they get used, like if the #3 gets eliminated then their #2 get redistributed and candidate-4 valid #3's get redistributed, then you could wind up with more votes counted than cast,,, so why have them?
Nevada is probably going to this system and other states already use it in just some counties for county elections. It's a bit bizarre but warrants further research as to how it can be manipulated as it is becoming more popular,,, check it out and let everyone know what you think.
By the way, check out the Alaska races, I'm thinking Murkowski will be the senator and Sarah Palin will be the house rep, any bets?
Go Figure.Democrats flip a House seat in Washington that has been held by Republicans since 2011. The Republican candidate was endorsed by Trump.
Trump playing the victim card is no longer working for him. He should have moved on from 2020 and focused on the kitchen table issues Americans are more concerned about.I previously voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, but I hope he's NOT the 2024 GOP nominee. Time to move on.
It doesn't matter now because the Dems retained 50 seats. This will keep a lot of Georgia conservatives from going to vote in the runoff.Independents decide elections. The youth vote cannot be overlooked in these races. Especially at local levels that boast a large number of colleges. The left energizes campuses and make the GOP the boogeyman. The left is pro-choice, pro-weed, pro-student debt relief, pro-environment, anti- LE, etc. The right hates women, love narcs, expects debts to be paid, hates manatees, loves cops, etc. The antithesis (sp) of young vulnerable socialists. This group by itself cannot determine elections but add them in large numbers to the yellow dog Dems and they can have an effect. Also I have little hope Hershel will win the run off.
That's what I'm afraid of.It doesn't matter now because the Dems retained 50 seats. This will keep a lot of Georgia conservatives from going to vote in the runoff.
