Agreed but I will still vote for him and try to spread the word. I think Kamala Harris is pretty cool but she is a tailor-made Democrat (biggest campaign funder is Time Warner, Hillary supporter, campaigned for Obama) and the system will render her useless.

Well he has no chance but I am going to volunteer for Emory Rodgers' campaign and vote for him in California. CA Bernie supporters, this is your guy.

https://voteforemory.com/

Is this guy actually on the ballot? He doesn't have a candidate statement/photo in my official voter information guide like most of the dozens of other candidates do

also CA is a ridiculous hive of far left and far right candidates - there are at least 5 people that're closer to bernie than Harris (I see one Green candidate and one Peach & Freedom candidate in addition to the 8 democrats and 11 mostly-left leaning but some insane independents). How'd you pick this guy out of the heap?

some of the statements are really entertaining by the way




and the best of all...

e: she even cites bernie!! :eyepop:

e2: and never mind, I found his name on the candidate list. Rough he didn't get a photo/statement in in time

I shot him a FB message and told him about it after I found out on this thread, and he sent me a message back saying "thanks for the heads up" and then it was fixed.

He had those ads prepped and raring to go, along with Sestak versions, only waiting for the primary to know which to run.

in the actual senate primary tonight, establishment goper todd young beat the gently caress out of tea partier marlin stutzman, which had been expected based on him firing a bunch of top campaign officials and not raising much money. the fault lines in the gop presidential primary have, so far, really not been evident in their lower-level primaries

baron hill was the uncontested democratic nominee and might win in a wave but he will have been hoping for stutzman to win

I think the McGinty nomination combined with the Trump ticket gives Toomey an extremely narrow path to victory.

Yeah, Toomey's probably cursing Trump a lot under his breadth. Add to that that McGinty will probably have Clinton and Obama stumping for her since they endorsed her, I'm guessing he's not in a very happy place.

I'd also like to see both the DSCC/DNC and Clinton campaign put a good amount of resources into North Carolina. Burr's not very popular and he's got a fairly credible opponent. Combine that with the Trump situation and the local Repub meltdown down there that's threatening to cost them the gubernatorial race I think it's worht the investment.

There's also the fact that the Democratic party has huge influence in PA. Sestak has practically been campaigning for this seat since he lost the last election. McGinty literally came out of nowhere over night and won this thing because of Obama, Wolf, and Wasserman-Shultz.

Pray you can keep the Senate and block Clinton for the next 4 years. If they lose the WH and Senate in November they're going to confirm Garland though because the Dems will immediately nuke the filibuster if Clinton nominates someone and a GOP minority blocks it.

Wolf definitely helped since she got to be his chief of staff for a year and pad her resume, but she won pretty handily and would have done so without Obama or the national democratic machine behind her. Sestak lost because as others have said, he's a great candidate on paper but not so much in practice, and I think most of McGinty's voters felt like he had his shot and they didn't want him to blow it against a Toomey rematch.

If Clinton wins the whitehouse + senate, Obama will take Garland off the table, while saying something amazingly smug about as the GOP wanted the people have spoken and clinton will get to select the new nominee.

I'd be genuinely surprised if they did. They don't need NC to get to 270 and VA is more of a sure bet. After Hagan dumped twice as much as Tillis to lose by half a point in 2014 I doubt they'd be willing to expend resources they'd rather put to use in OH/FL, and they can get a majority without flipping Burr's seat.


That being said this is probably the best possible cycle to take advantage of the problems NC republicans have created for themselves. Which goes beyond unpopular legislation to the state party ousting its first black chairman, a public fight that's growing uglier by the day.

The value isn't so much the electoral votes as (a) The Senate map for 2018 is unimaginably bad for Democrats (25 D or D-caucusing I seats vs 8 R seats, some nearly indefensible D seats and only one R seat you could even dream of flipping in your wildest dreams about the election) and every seat they can flip now helps and (b) we're getting close to 2020 and it's necessary to start focusing on state level elections to undo the Republican gerrymander after 2020.

Ugh, 2018. Terrible map, Republicans will be fired up to stick it to that crazy radical Hitlery Kkklinton after two years of her femino-communist tyranny, Democrats will be sad and disappointed that she hasn't solved all the problems, all combined with the usual Democratic haplessness at midterm turnout.

Enjoy reading all those "Is the GOP dead!?!?" articles now, because in two and a half years the GOP will look like world-beating titans.

I don't disagree with you overall, but I think the GOP of the 2018 midterms will be very different (in tone and policy) from the 2014 variety.

I hope he pulls Garland after the election and nominates Eric Holder instead. That would be perfect.
