Another Republican "gain" flushed down the toilet. Or should I say another race that a Republican was supposed to "win" by keeping their loss within single digits flushed down the toilet.

Where do you even come up with this stuff?

And the DSCC sent operatives from LA to OR before the summer; last I heard they were stationed their the rest of the cycle. What a waste for Democrats.

That's a pretty accurate description of the races in OR, MN, and MI (and NM, if anybody ever talked about that as a potential pickup, but I certainly can't recall anyone doing so).

Congrats, the potential max universe of Republican seats in a takeover scenario is 55 instead of 56, 57. Crisis averted. /sarcasm

No. Anything > 51 seats in Republican hands is a disaster for the Democrats this cycle.

I don't get the logic. It's not like the number we're talking about is 60 or 67 here. It's in the fringe of seats where the Republicans still have a majority, but not a filibuster-proof or veto-proof one. A disaster for a party going into an election with 55 seats.

Celebrate IA, AK -- something that matters. OR doesn't matter. It's a tier 3 state. Always fool's gold for Republicans. It hasn't been relevant for a while.

Celebrating winning Oregon is like celebrating a touchdown when you're losing 45-21. But whatever makes you feel good, I suppose.
