Rohrabacher votes 5% less with Trump than Walters does next door. That's interesting...

Rohrabacher knows he's in a competitive seat. Walters is probably Safe.

That can't be it. Rohrabacher's district is R+4 while Walter's is R+3.

If one falls then the other one probably does as well.

Sabato has Rohrabacher at Toss-Up and Walters at Likely R.

This actually doesn't show all that much since Congress hasn't voted on all that much compared to past years.   It's been a remarkable unproductive year so far legislatively.

I don't care how a Senator votes on naming a post office.

The house has actually voted on a ton of stuff, it's just that the senate has proved to be a death chamber. The senate scores are mostly based on cabinet appointments.

Sinema is at 46%? Hooray for our soon-to-be new Senator, I guess.

Considering she's an athiest, having a moderate record is one of the best things she can do to have a successful senate run - it refutes the societal perception of atheists - ultra-liberal, immoral, out of touch individuals. Also this:


I'd inagine "I voted against Nancy Pelosi for Speaker--twice" would make for a great line in an introductory ad.


Edit: Actually voted against Pelosi three times - Jan. 2015, Oct. 2015, Jan. 2017
