CPRM, Pt 3: LA 11/6

[IceSpear]

I was hoping for a Levine victory: he seemed more electable than Gillum (and possibly Graham) and more progressive than Graham, and thus the superior candidate overall in my eyes.

This race is probably Tilt R with Gillum, although I think posters in this thread complaining about Gillum's poor electability forget that DeSantis is not exactly a stellar candidate either.

DeSantis is a mediocre candidate, but voters and the media have zero standards for the Republicans, so it doesn't matter much. But Gillum's FBI problems will be the next Watergate by November.

[IceSpear]

Let's not forget the current Government led a company literally convicted of Medicaid fraud he's on tape pleading the fifth. FL voters clearly don't care about corruption.

Because he's a Republican. If he was a Democrat I'd say he would get run out on a rail, but...he never would've been elected to begin with or even come close.

The overall vote total for the GOP may be higher than the Dem total. To be fair, the big Dem counties haven’t reported yet, so let’s not jump to conclusions.

Truth.   DeSantis might be enough to blow the election for Republicans and give it to Gillum.

The overall vote total for the GOP is crushing the Dem total.

We have basically nothing from Broward County, doofus.

Its FL, what did you expect?

[Politician]

Gillum will win in November.

Registration is still 2% in favor of Dems for now. But yes, voters are shifting towards the GOP. Problem is in a closed primary they cannot vote for the GOP candidates.

This, plus we don't have all of Broward in. The GOP is winning by a similar margin like they did in 2014. Anyways, not excited for the #RedWave tweet from Bill Mitchell.

[Politician]

If Gillum won an upset against a candidate leading in every poll but one, how is he "unelectable"?

[Nyvin]

Pretty much all that's left is in SEFL.   The vote totals are actually going to be really close.

Edit - Alachua hasn't reported much yet either.

What's funny? The media and the GOP made Hillary having a private email the worst scandal since Watergate, worse than Trump admitting to sexual assault on tape.

Because he is, Bob Graham's daughter was clearly the best candidate.

[Xing]

So many #hottakes in this thread. I'd say: Toss-Up ->Toss-Up

[henster]

Graham literally ran ads that said 'Bob Graham's daughter' no surprise she lost.

By that logic Christine O'Donnell wouldn't have been unelectable.

Eh. I think this makes it Tilt R.

Ironically I think base enthusiasm helps Nelson, though.

BUT THAT IS THE WINNING TICKET! EVERYONE LOVES BOB AND EVERYONE LOVES HIS DAUGHTER!

Exceeding expectations in a primary is really not indicative that a candidate will exceed expectations in a general election. (Not that I think Gillum is "unelectable," though).

What you'd assume would be increased black turnout can't hurt.
