The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

@Redistrict
I've seen enough: Janet Protasiewicz defeats Daniel Kelly for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result flips ideological control of the court from conservative to liberal, a huge victory for the pro-choice side.

Bam.

[ScoobyDoo]

Wow. I'm shocked.

[bronconick]

Maybe they'll get to take a swing at the gerrymandering nightmare they have.

Brandon Johnson wins Chicago mayor.

WI isn’t totally out of the woods yet. There’s a state senate special election tonight as well that the Dems need to stop the GOP from a super majority, where they could just oust the newly elected Supreme Court seat if they want.

That one currently has the GOP up 700 votes with 91% in, though it appears that Milwaukee is most of the outstanding precincts, which is good news.

That's a great joke.


I want to say Johnson is the surprise win, but I don't think so. With Lightfoot, Garcia, and others out, that helped rally the residents behind Johnson. The dirt that came out about Vallas in the last month also helped tarnish his dramatic early lead. Johnson's got some work to do, so it's going to be interesting to see how the city responds.

I foresee business as usual. It IS Chicago after all...

Gen Z jus told the GOP to suck rocks.

Oh and despite what the media says the "Law and Order" narrative got kicked in the butt again.

538 summary:

• In the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, liberal Janet Protasiewicz defeated conservative Dan Kelly 55 percent to 45 percent, as of 11:15 p.m. Eastern, per the Associated Press. As a result, liberals have taken control of the court for the first time since 2008. This could have huge policy implications: The court will soon hear a case over whether Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban is legal, and it now seems likely to be overturned. The newly liberal court may also rule that the state’s congressional and/or legislative maps are illegal Republican gerrymanders, which could give Democrats a chance to win one or two more congressional seats and several more legislative seats.
• In the race for Chicago mayor, progressive Democrat Brandon Johnson defeated conservative Democrat Paul Vallas 51 percent to 49 percent, as of 11:15 p.m. Eastern. This was a mild upset, as Vallas had led in almost every poll (albeit by small margins). It also means that progressives will lead two of America’s three largest cities, with Los Angeles being the other and New York City being the exception.

We walked into the ballroom. It was a big hotel ballroom. It was the Palmer House Hilton, big Hilton hotel ballroom. Walked into the ballroom, it was packed with people. It’s actually the ballroom from the end of the movie The Fugitive, remember? So, that ballroom. So, my mom and I walk in, it’s packed with people, the… Sorry, the end where Harrison Ford, as Dr. Richard Kimble, bursts in to confront Dr. Charles Nichols, right? Okay. So, that ballroom. So, my mom and I walk in, it’s packed with people. Why does Kimble confront Nichols? Well, I know we all know this, but… No, no. But, but, but… Kimble, he found out that Nichols, along with Devlin MacGregor and Lentz, who has mysteriously died, they had hired Frederick Sykes, the one-armed man, to kill Kimble. Kimble’s wife wasn’t even the target. I know we all know this. But they were gonna kill Kimble because he wasn’t gonna approve certain liver samples to pass RUD-90. So, Kimble finds out about all of this, and, of course, he’s furious. And he bursts into the ballroom and he goes, “You switched the samples!” And Dr. Nichols is like, “Ladies and gentlemen, my friend, Dr. Richard Kimble.” What accent did that guy have, by the way? He goes, “You switched the samples! And you doctored your research! So that you could have Provasic!” Anyway, so it’s that ballroom. So, we walk into that ballroom.

The issue is not why are men fat everywhere, but why are women so fat in the south and midwest?

Because they're poor and we don't subsidize lettuce juice we subsidize corn juice.

Holy sh*t, I wrote him off a month ago.

Probably because the media did...because they don't understand how polling works. (Hence the misuse of stats and probability works)
