who do you trust to pick up the baton? because I don’t know who that is supposed to be. I haven’t seen the candidate committed to the things I want and this country needs who doesn’t hedge or use weasel words like “access to health care”. I’m open to the idea, it’s just that most of the rest of the field simply don’t have a record that encourages us to trust them to fight the way Sanders does and will.

I'm hoping for a suprise candidate, maybe from one of these close governor or senate races. Nina Turner might be okay even if i get annoyed by her spam emails, having mildly bad outreach isn't the worst sin

As a word of warning there's still a lot of votes in AZ apparently, so this expect more movement and don't be surprised if Sinema ends up behind again.

From what I recall though Maricopa wasn't the hope spot, and that is what this count comes from.

This and Florida would really help the senate Math, obviously.

I'll be happy enough staying to 53-47, as I figured we'd lose either one or two seats; after the period where it looked like we might lose three or four, it'd be a relief. If we can hold them to one gain I'll be overjoyed.

Don't get me wrong, recount, no recount, or more ballots to come, being in front is better than the opposite, but with a complete lack of clarity on where ballots are, please no one convince yourself the ongoing count means Sinema is now definitely going to win.

Of course, and if ever there was a state outside of the south that tries to guarantee that only Republicans win, it’s Arizona, but it’s also encouraging that she actually opened up her lead in Maricopa County in the initial results.

If the dems hold the senate to 48-52, the senate becomes a relative walk in the park in 2020. Having to take out 3 out of 4 from Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Thom Tillis (R-NC) (or only two if Doug Jones somehow survived). That's so much better than having to take all of those, or take three and an upset in GA or KY.

You're thinking of the other race, Nelson never conceded

Scott's lead is only at 14k votes now, which is pretty exciting. the governor race is separated by about 37k which is obviously much worse

Yes, basically. His model was based around percentages and when a bunch of predicted 80% R seats came in and went to 100% R, it flipped out rather than reevaluating based on the remaining races.
