Sherrod Brown is not going to excite many people, but if you want a Democratic Presidential candidate that will probably easily win back Pennsylvania/Michigan/Wisconsin and probably Ohio.....cruising to an easy electoral college win, he's your guy. I just can't say I'd be hugely excited about another older white guy, but if it prevents a Trump second term it would be a net good thing. Also, that would essentially flip his Senate seat red for a good while. The Governor (DeWine) would appoint a replacement and there is no law requiring the replacement to be of the same party as the vacating Senator.

twice burned ice posted:Is there anything to this? You can drat sure bet there will be more poo poo turned up, but it really doesn't matter: there's no recourse, period. If you get away with it on election day then there's no mechanism to revote or correct for the bullshit. All you can do is look like sore losers. At absolute best you can force the state to honor provisonal ballots and MAYBE accept statewide votes for people who ended up voting for the wrong local races for whatever reason.

Triskelli posted:North Carolina’s been a battleground for awhile, but South Carolina probably shouldn’t be considered to be in play. Joe Cunningham’s win can be chalked up to the fact that Mark Sanford lost his primary, and that environmentalism (read: protecting tourism dollars) is a winning issue for the coast. He also got a couple last-minute endorsements from state republicans, which I don’t see happening in 2020. Hieronimous Alloy is more plugged into state politics than I am, he can probably speak more about the midlands and upstate. No that's basically my take also. Cunningham won a squeaker because Sanford wasn't on the ticket and Cunningham was ardently anti drilling and the coastal economy here paid a *lot* of attention to Deepwater Horizon and doesn't want a local repeat.

A thousand times this. Losing Florida as a swing state loving sucks (doubly so for the minorities living there though I am hopeful about the re- enfranchisement of African-Americans) BUT Virginia is locked Blue going forward. Seeing a district held by such shitheads such as Cantor and Brat flip blue is awesome. Remember goons, Virginia votes in 2019! Let's seal the deal!

One thing nobody has pointed out yet is that the Republicans got murdered in the Chicago metropolitian area. There are no suburban republicans from Illinois anymore, all of them are from downstate or western Illinois.

mcmagic posted:You can't just assume that all the factors that make this race closer this time: the Democratic hatred of Trump and base activation paired with a great candidate at the top of the ticket like Beto. 4% might just be the Dem ceiling. Texas hates Cruz a hell of a lot more than they hate Trump Even the Texas GOP machine hates Ted Cruz because he keeps ruining poo poo for them to grandstand. Also I think you maybe underestimate the difference between "let's vote out this fucker" and a presidential election where people generally feel their votes mean nothing

No matter how tempting that hit of hopium looks, do not fall for it. It's really unlikely that a recount will change the result of either race.
