SC-1 special election - May 7th

[Brittain33]

The intelligent thing would be for a Republican to be seriously worried and for a Democrat to not be getting their hopes up in any way - it's quite probable that Krazen is right, after all.

Yes, I still find it hard to believe Sanford will win. There's too much possibility for volatility here.

To be specific, I'm thinking of the primary.

Oh I can't wait to watch the Colbert Report tonight now.

Is he embracing this story or backing the hell away because he's too close?

Tied at 46.

How was their performance last year? Gold standard-ish?

If this were True, then it would also be the case that the best thing for the Democrats were if Stanford won this race. Somehow, I haven't read any Democrats hoping for a Colbert lose. Rather, when the polls showed Colbert up by double-digits, and the RNCC fortuitously for Stanford wrote him off, the gloat-a-meter was reading "high." I can only conclude that since the Democrats perceive their interests lie in winning the race it must be the case that Republican best interests rest on a Stanford victory.

This race is for LULZ. Dems don't care too much because Colbert Busch is a 1-termer if she wins and can't make a difference in the house.

Let's check the final Gravis polls:

Gravis may have pulled in their polls at the very end but throughout the season, they were way off and often in a R direction (but occasionally very D). They were hired by R firms to poll for the R narrative. End of story.

2nd happiest man in America: Anthony Wiener.

Calling Brown unobjectionable isn't quite accurate. He was always considered a weak incumbent.

But if he wants to argue that the results show that a district that has swung in the past (like MS-1 and old LA-6 once did) showed Republicans still holding their own, he's got a point. It's not 2006 for certain.
