(Political Ramblings from a Little Left of Center)
While it would be logical to assume that the daily barrage of negative stories about Hershel Walker would be impacting the Georgia Senate race, I wanted to see if any available data would back up that assumption. So, I took a quick peek today at the data gathered by TargetEarly for the Georgia Senate runoff…
The 2022 elections aren’t quite finalized yet, but I thought I’d go ahead and post a quick post-mortem – summarizing the winners & losers in addition to evaluating my own projections as reflected in my Final 2022 Election Analysis post. U.S. House My projection: “While I don’t see as massive of a ‘red wave’ as…
In premature anticipation of Georgia once again being the deciding factor in party control of the Senate, I’d started writing down my thoughts on the 12/6 runoff between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. However, with the win in Nevada by Catherine Cortez Masto over Adam Laxalt, Democrats will retain control of the Senate even without…
I got tired of waiting for the Senate race results out of Arizona & Nevada. (I care about the Governor and Secretary of State races in those swing states as well… but, for now, I’m mostly interested in control of the Senate.) So, I took a deep dive into at the election results thus far. …
I’ll weigh in further on the election results when things are a little more finalized. For now, I’ll simply note a general state of amusement. I’m amused by all of the election “experts” busily spinning their predictions in light of actual results. Many are now actually claiming that they were right all along… within their…
Well, today is the day. While it may sound over-wrought, I truly believe that Democracy itself is on the ballot. There are so many 2020 election-deniers on the GOP ticket that this election’s primary issue is simple respect for the American experiment. I’ll make one last comment on the status of the races… While I…
While it’s way too late now, I’ve been wanting to publish a list of the best mid-term Democratic campaign ads. Here’s the thing, though: It’s a very, very short list. And, frankly, the GOP’s ads are even worse. The ad agencies hired by both parties have mostly cranked out unremarkable pablum that I stopped watching…
A serious note to my Republican subscribers: I sincerely appreciate the fact that you’re willing to consider the opinions of someone who is often in an opposite political camp. However, I have a request: PLEASE do your 2022 research and make sure you can defend the candidates you choose to support. To be blunt, the…
Yeah, yeah. I’ve been absent here. While my daily intentions have been to post something, reality has intervened on a regular basis. C’est la vie. Anyway, with early voting for the mid-terms already in-progress, I felt the need to revisit the critical 2022 races. Unfortunately, I had to dig a tad deeper than I’d expected.…
Since I last weighed in, Democrats have slightly increased their chances of maintaining their paper-thin Senate majority in November. While it’s still too early to make definitive predictions, it is nice to see that a lot of election “experts” are catching up to my point of view and have at least stopped writing Democratic obituaries.…
