Colorado is looking pretty good. God I hope Boebert just goes away. Too close to call yet but I'm hopeful. Frisch seems like a great candidate but honestly I'd vote for a can of beans if it was running against Boebert.
I liked Polis' victory speech where he vowed to work for all Coloradoans, whether they voted for him or not. This is the kind of sentiment we need more of.
Last time I looked, Boebert was losing by 62 votes. Whatever happens, I'm sure there will be a recount, but it's not as if she was rejected wholesale. It's a special form of orneriness that would prompt one to vote for that nutcase.
Turns out Hershel Walker didn't lose, I got that wrong, it's going to a tie breaker (or whatever it's called). Maybe they'll end up flipping a coin.
MTG got 65% of the vote in her district.
It's a good thing, imo, that a lot of the Big Lie followers didn't win their races, but looking at all the media reports, it seems to me that people might be reading too much into this. Not having a landslide against you is not victory. Still though, some sensible things. Where abortion was on the ballot, people wanted it, as all polls have shown since forever. Some pundits think that this election was a blow against Trump, which kind of makes me laugh. I've lost count of all the truly obnoxious and some probably illegal things that should have toppled him, you don't get rid of pathological cults that easily, I guess.
Maybe in time Trump will buy Twitter as soon as the price drops a bit, after the current gang have finished wrecking it. The value seems to going south with similar bad news from Meta, but maybe social media is finding its own level, after the years of silly hype.
