Couple things on Maine Senate race. Most of the 2nd district might as well be Appalachia . Sure their are some coastal areas with money but most of counties are poor. Gideon ads whining about Collins being bought and paid for( its true but..) didn't play well when Gideon had 66 million in donations. I figured Collins would win easily in 2nd district but she only lost one county, Portland area aka Northern Massachusetts. I think she actially lost Knox county by 65 votes so 2 counties. Gideon is a carpet bagger to rural mainers.

Collins also had Bill Green endorse her on several well played ads on tv and in print. Bill Green is well liked retired Sportscaster on local news. They were low key and extremely well done.

Last. you keys made fun of me telling you why Collins is well liked in Maine. She is out and about in the community and that plays in Maine.

No because it makes you not want to eat the hot dog.

I get what you are driving at but you are ignoring a massive elephant in the room and for a security expert that is kind of disconcerting. If you want to play the "sane guy in the room" bit you cant just pretend what is going on isnt problematic. Especially after you ripped Secretary Clinton to shreds for putting security at risk. Well what kind of security risk exists when you de-legitimize an entire election? How well does that work out for other countries around the world?

I only speak for me, but I wasnt making fun of you I was making fun of Mainers because I actually believed you. Over the years I have known plenty of people like that and it is not that unbelievable that Maine would have enough to make it work. I make fun of people around here for it too.

Basically it means that Peters would need to UNDERPERFORM the existing results by 5.3% But he shouldn't given where they're from and the fact that the ballots were mail-in. Most likely those skew D.

I had literally never heard of "Sen Gary Peters" before about two months ago, and I can normally name about 2/3 of the US Senate. I figured John James had a really good chance.

The creepiest thing about this election is that Dumpie got more people to vote for him than in 2016, by virtue of four years of bigoted, racist, rapist, hateful, whining criminality. To some extent I can understand the awesome power of confirmation bias and media bubbles over sheeple who voted for him on a chance and then convinced themselves to stick with him. But to come to the decision now to vote for Trump with no prior commitment? It's sad that level of evil even exists in the world.
Either that, or there are a lot of 18-22 year-old "human scum" now who just weren't able to vote last time.

Drew is from Maine, move to Mass and had the idiotic opinion that he shouldn't vote in Mass because "he wasn't really from there". Now he's back in Maine and back to his old self apparently.

I know this. He chose to get out of Maine first chance he could.

He forfeited his right to tell us what 'Mainers' think.
 
PA trending more towards Biden. Still firmly Trump though. Since this morning Biden only needs to outperform by 27.7% down from 32.4%. That's a pretty big drop as the more Trumpy counties are counted.

This is why the hair on the back of my neck is standing on end...

We like to believe we are better than we are. Well much like when your team is 4-10 it doesnt matter if you played well enough to be 7-7 you are what you are. America isnt just breeding young idealists...it is breeding young bigots too and if you go on Twitter you can find them quite easily. Just find any of the tweets by Jack Posobiec and read the comments. Those arent bots...those are real people all over the country and they think like he does. They range in ages from 18-60 and they are highly motivated ever since we had a Black President.
 
per Nate Cohn (I'm not sure if I can embed a Tweet post Uscho forum upgrade):

Since I took a nap, we've gotten a bit more data in Pennsylvania--narrowing Trump's margin to 8 points there. To my mind, everything there is still consistent with Biden eventually taking the lead

--If you just take the raw number of mail absentee ballots left, the votes are there for Biden given how well we expect him to do there
--If you just look at the completed counties, it's clear Biden's faring well enough once in the places that have counted their absentees

Is the nerd slap fight still going on? That was pretty funny last night :-)

Ok ignoring the very heavy negatives for a minute...some positives will come out of this IF Biden wins. A functional cabinet with people in charge who actually know what they are doing is important. Using science to help fight COVID is positive. Not having 3am tweets from the President crashing the market will be a positive. Not alienating our allies because we want to pout and cry will be positive.

Legislatively things wont be great cause nothing gets done...but IF Biden pulls it out I honestly hope Pelosi loses as Speaker because she isnt needed. To fight Trump she is acceptable, but we need a different consigliere if Biden is in charge. That too would be a net positive IMHO.

We're going to have our own version of the BNP/AfD around for many years to come.
