All hail the Needle!

The needle demands sacrifice and it is a trickster. Our only hope is that death is swift.

No need. The needle will certainly gently caress you if it wills it.

Can any PA goons tell us what we should be looking for to know if this will be close or a dunking?

All those red dots on the NYT map are basically need to go 60% minimum thereabouts red. Anything less is a crushing.

this seat is R+20 so if you assume a 20 point shift and do the math that's....

400 seats for the Dems :stare:

There are seats in Oklahoma less GOP friendly than this one.

It’s 300 and change. 400 would be 400-38 which would be the end of the Republican Party.

lol We spent the last three weeks hyping the everloving gently caress out of a special election for a nine-month office expecting, no demanding a 20+ point shift.

We are addicts withdrawing from our drug. This water down crap is all we got.

Pray that the needle is swift. That is the only thing to hope for tonight.

Well boys, time to kick it old school like we did in those election dens. Refresh the election pages, as many as you can get, and watch the precinct % creep up to 100%.

Chase the dragon.

The needle is forecasting Lamb +500 excluding Westmoreland. It's gonna be real close.

That’s the stuff. 25 precincts to go. Each one getting more exciting than the last.

Oh man. We are talking about precincts and absentee ballot percentages. I haven’t had a race this close for so long since the ‘08 Franken race.

Actually it's 700, so er...

gently caress yeah. 150 vote lead. Hnnnnnnngggh. Start talking dirty to me. What’s the precinct level breakdown of those absentees? Any age range? Does it skew *pant* military or *heavy breathing* college students?

It's an R+20 gerrymandered bullshit district, and they're bragging about losing it by 700 votes. :laffo: :getout:

And there was a multi million dollar ad blitz in the last week from team R and Trump campaigned here Sunday.

This needle was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When Westmoreland and the GOP and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the results of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move."

You fool. The needle is the giver and taker of hope. Like the return of Cthulu, you pray so that you're the first to reach the sweet embrace of death before the other suffering, doomed souls.
