Knock on wood, it looks like CA-21 might go blue as well. Incumbent leads by less than a thousand votes right now.

it all depends on how the last kern county ballot dump goes this seat flipping really would be icing on the cake, since i always thought CA-21 would be valadao's for as long as he wanted it; he's way more popular than he has any right to be in a district that both obama and hillary won by over 10 points

Ben McAdams flipped District 4 in Utah back to Democratic by just enough votes to avoid a recount.

Smith was a Democrat as late as 10 years ago and she refuses to say whether she voted for Obama or Clinton in the primary. She claims she voted for a minor candidate who she can't even remember, but it's obviously a lie. But Dinesh will tell you there was no party switch.

This is a good article about Ohio https://twitter.com/HenryJGomez/status/1065312207393705984 I think Pepper needs to go, having the chair of the ODP be from the corner of the state that is furthest from its Democratic base is ridiculous. The losses in Dem support in NE Ohio are what is turning the state red, and David Pepper has no clue what to do about it. I have lived in NE Ohio and Cincinnati, in fact they are the only two places I have ever lived, and they could not be more different. Hell, Joe Schiavoni should chair the ODP.....he's got nothing better to do now that he's term limited in the Ohio Senate (a seat that is now red).

Mahoning posted:This is a good article about Ohio The thought of Ohio being permanently lost is legit scary because the common wisdom, which I can recall being repeated even when I was small child hearing about President-elect Clinton, was that Ohio is kind of the political axis of america, the quintessential bellweather for national and especially presidential politics. Both teams could win and which one wins it sets the tone for the rest of the nation. It's hard to process that just not being the case anymore, even in a world where Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and even Texas are trending more and more blue every year and the electoral map has plenty of other places for democrats to go win. I hope Ohio's state party and fix their mess. Sherrod Brown seems really cool, and if he can win without being a Manchin and selling his soul then its absurd that other Ds in the state can't.

It was convenient shorthand. Ohio was something of a battleground state with enough population/EV to really help/hurt. But it's becoming less and less purple and more red as demographics and economic realities shift. Florida is more concerning, just because it's an even bigger pile of EV--though the new re-enfranchisement may help matters. If GA, NC, and TX continue on their trajectories Ohio will be irrelevant.

Not that nearly as many people will be living there Yeah, barring some ridic waterworld sea level rise the only part really at risk is south of lake okeechobee. More realistic is that Miami beach is gone, rest of south florida loses a few blocks, but the drinking water aquifer rises in salinity. That will necessitate desalinization plants or mass importation of water from up north...both incredibly expensive public works projects. Florida just passed an amendment requiring a 2/3 majority to raise taxes. South florida will still be there in 20 years, but it might not be all that great a place to live.

I am digging the Delegate Boysko's record on Human Rights and Progressive change. She is up to replace Wexton's in VA 33rd District. She sponsored the VA Human Rights Act: https://www.billtrack50.com/BillDetail/677842 Tried to expand what constitutes a Hate Crime: https://www.billtrack50.com/BillDetail/782387 Is currently trying to make it easier to get your sex changed on your birth certificate, pretty huge for trans people : http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?181+sum+HB407 (If I am reading this right, all you would need is basically a doctors note saying "Yes, you are taking hormone therapies etc" and don't have to follow up with any documentation or invasive requirements.) Trying to pass a bill to make sure that you are informed if your registration is denied and what needs to be fixed on it : http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?181+sum+HB272 Created the Virginia Equal Pay Act : http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?181+sum+HB1089 (This one is interesting because it is attacking pay disparity along racial, gender, AND sexual orientation lines. She is sponsoring one for gov employees as well.) A lot of these failed in committee, but her record is pretty clear on the subject so that is really loving important. Also, Republicans control the majority by ONE in the House of Delegates so it's no wonder these died in committee... Also, this loving bill: http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?181+sum+HB1231 gently caress yes! Any VA Goons plan to volunteer for this special election? She also has a negative score from the Gun-Chud state organization and is trying to pass a bill that makes gun sellers civilly liable if they sell a weapon without performing a background check and then that weapon is used in a crime. friendbot2000 fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Nov 23, 2018 |
