It's almost like all the good democrat statesmen moved out of Indiana.

Does 5000 vote-difference constitute a recount in Kaintuck?

This actually could spells doom for McConnel. Last night we were actually seeing Republicans vote for a Dem Gov and Republican everywhere else because Bevin is THAT hated. McConnel generates a similar amount of hatred, but survives on low turnout. So what we have here is basically a nightmare scenario for McConnel

So what's happening with Kentucky now? Is Bevin trying to steal the election?

Temper tantrum, but according to rules put in place by Republicans recounts don't really do poo poo in KY and the special session he'll no doubt end up requesting won't do much either if they actually follow the rules of the law they're referring to. Of course since a gov veto can be overridden by a simple majority vote of the assembly which is supermajority Republican it doesn't really matter anyway, Beshear's only going to be able to fix medicaid and that's about it.
Yet much like the Doolittle Raids; a propaganda victory for Dems

I'm not even sure it was abstract Washington things. I remember a big line of attack on him was that he was in France hanging out with a bunch of eurotrash rather than doing anything for his district.

Anyway, congrats to Iowa's newest white-nationalist rep.
I'm so glad Iowa's no longer the first election primary/caucus.

It'd be nice to get some good news out of Virginia for once, but it does seem like the GOP has all the media momentum and enthusiasm. Everybody I know seems to be feeling stressed instead of enthused, which isn't a good sign.
I wonder why. Have the independents truly abandoned the dems this cycle? Would that reverse once Biden gets his drat bills passed?

And before any of you get wild ideas on why McAuliffe lost, just remember:

o A lot of VA is still fairly conservative even among Dems
o CRT was sort of the shorthand; the anger was with schools generally
o Parents are going to be angry about schools a long time; the pandemic was worst on parents without question.
o There was little if any support for parents; Youngkin won't make that better, but the alternative didn't either.
o It was an across-the-board failure, but it was a huge failure and frankly, covid rates among kids never justified how long schools were out. It was destroying people.
o Kids, according to (my friends') teacher friends, are just loving terribly behaved now, and are performing terribly. Parents are furious.
o Schools were closed longest in VA of almost any state. People are mad mad.
o So never run a terminally online guy in the primaries. You might be left with a subpar candidate who beats him.
