In Nevada, there is less than 800 votes separating the two candidates now. Got to think the Dems will go to the Georgia run off with a 50 - 49 Senate. The New Yorker election map shows it as 49 - 49, with Alaska, Nevada, and Georgia still undecided. How is that possible? I assume that Alaska is inc...

I think at this point NV is going for a recount. Both candidates have already said they're going to ask for one if they lose this vote. I think it's a reasonable request. Yep. I heard there are about 45k votes left in Clark and Washoe County. Mainly mail in ballots. If they break, say 60:40 then th...

Arizona 6th now has the Republicans lead down to less than a percent, with 82% counted, and the bulk of what's left to come from Pima County, which is running +8 for democrats. The lead was halved with the latest batch of votes. Another batch like that and the lead may change. That should be taken o...

So it could for instance be Trump or Obama as...

I'm not sure about calling it for Lombardo just yet. The lead is 21k votes. 538 are saying there is still about 70,000 votes to count with 55k from Clark County and Washoe County. Last dump of 27k votes went 61:34 to the democrat. If that happens again with the remaining 70k votes it could be close...

The lead in California 13 is down to 84 votes (0.11%) with 61% counted. The majority of votes left are from 2 democrat leaning counties. I am ready to put that in the Democratic column.

That would mean 220 is the best that Republicans can do.

NV going to the wire also. Cortez Mastro should come out on top now but will the Dem Gov be able to come back? He is still 22k votes behind. Decision desk HQ calling it for the R Lombardo. Nobody else has called it from what I can see. Probably a safe call. They wouldn't want to find out there was ...

So what do people think was the reason for the lack of a red wave? The fact employment has held up has meant people despite the rising cost of living aren't outright struggling yet? It's the economy right? Women and youth pushing back against the GOP? I think it largely reflects the ossification of...

Can someone tell me how the Senate works? The republicans are 1.49 9n betting sites to get 49 seats. The democrats are the same with ling odds at more. But if the senate is made up of 100 seats, than 49:49 is impossible no?? If one of these parties gets 49, the other has to get 51 by definition. If...

Just reviewing that California 22nd is an outside shot for the democrats as well. Repulican is up by 5%, but only 53% counted and the biggest county is only at 44% counted and is +5 gor the democrats. Whereas the other 2 counties (republican leaning) are both smaller and further through their count....

On the House front, most analysis I see is predicting Repulicans to take 220 or 221 seats. That is based on who is leading now. That seems likely but there is still a path to the democrats getting to 218. There are 4 districts that currently have a republican leading but are vulnerable. Arizona 6th,...

Btw, Sarah Palin is getting whooped out in Alaska. https://i.imgur.com/eF2RlEw.jpg This is the seat that the GOP held for 50 years until earlier this year when the Democrat lady won it.

Nevada senate is close. Republican is up by 2% with about 73% counted. There's a lot of Las Vegas votes outstanding though, and they are leaning blue so it's too close to call. 16% left to be counted in Vegas (which makes up 75% of the population)... All of it postal which favours democratic. The o...

Why does US politics struggle to find decent candidates? All politicians are revolting , it’s only a degree of how much that’s being discussed. Some are less stupid and revolting than others. I think that's a tired generalisation. Most politicians in Western countries are OK. They may not be to one...

Why does US politics struggle to find decent candidates? A big part of the reason is the primary process. Generally only the diehards vote in primaries and often in crowded fields a candidate only needs 25-30% to win it. Candidates effectively need to appeal to the crazies in the party to get nomin...

Lauren Boebert is in a close battle. Currently behind by 1.2% with about 88% counted. I see that odds are that there are enough votes out there for her to still carry the district but she is seriously underperforming the 2020 Trump results. This is the sort of result that should cause MAGA republic...

Speaking for myself, I hadn't even thought about what province they come from.

And of course I am a Highlanders fan, so if was to be biased I'd be singing Frizell's praises.

Blackadder is the better bet, or Scott Barrett when we have our 2 first choice locks.

That's not great to be fair.

Given Rennie has also said that WR have confirmed that the time wasting decision was not accurate too, seems to me that the kiwis got the rub of the green in that game. I suggest we wait to see what WR actually says rather than relying on what a partisan actor says that WR says. The article reads a...

Sio suffered a hamstring from the Newell cleanout that was similar to Swain's and won't play this weekend... According to Rennie, the judiciary has conceded that Newell should also have been cited. Good!! So the example provided by the Wobs was deemed relevant. I look forward to hearing from our co...

Why should Robertson help Schmidt consolidate his position as NZ coach when Robertson himself is eligible to go for the job. Maybe Schmidt only wants to be coach until the world cup. This way he can be interim coach and then bow out as head coach on his own terms. I understood he doesn't really wan...

Asked it on the other thread but even more intrigued now. Who do you kiwis want instead. I know Razor is popular but is his Super rugby style right for test rugby? Gats, Schmidt, Cotter etc? I also wonder if it's harsh the criticism of Foster when perhaps you don't quite have the strength across th...
