Election 2018 Open Thread - Part 1

[Chief Justice Keef]

I'm not sure if NYT is actively updating their forecast, but 229 seats for the Democrats seems way too conservative at this point. They currently have 225 secured, and NJ-03, CA-25, UT-04, NY-22, and CA-48 are quite likely to flip (NYT has all of the Democrats leading but none declared the victors). That's already 230, and that's not to mention the strong possibility that some combination of CA-10, CA-39, CA-45, and/or even GA-07 or TX-27 flip.

They stopped updating their forecast at 2 p.m. yesterday.

Why Angela, WHY.

Simple. Republican plant.

If she was a Republican plant she wouldn't have dropped out before the election.

Green Party people are just naive, that's all.

Tony Thurmond is up to 50.4% against Marshall Tuck’s 49.6% in CA-Superintendent.

Edit: Betty Yee is at 64.3% for controller now. Dang

That's dissapointing.

Would much rather have an educator in charge of the state's public school than a literal charter school goon like Tuck.

Thurmond has a terrible track record with schools. Why do you have an irrational hatred of charter schools. One in my hometown benefited Hispanics the most since it was located in a Hispanic part of town. Also they are both Democrats.

Why do you expect anything else from "wild eyed ultras" (in this case - of liberal stripe, though it doesn't matter)? They are the same in both parties. That's their "gut reaction". Many of them can't even give a rational explanation of it, it simply "this way"...
