A wasted opportunity for many NJ Dems, too bad so many are afraid to take on the machine. Menendez could've easily gone down tonight.

I really think the party is going to have to spend in NJ because of some spooky polls.

these idiots did it to themselves. THEY COULD'VE DROPPED HIM LIKE A TON OF BRICKS BUT INSTEAD THEY SCARED AWAY ANY REAL PRIMARY OPPONENTS.

Especially when they ran Franken out so quickly.

[henster]

So what is the deal with Russ 'Bundle of Sticks' did Tester want him as the opponent?

[henster]

Another blow for Our Revolution in Iowa.

[henster]

Bernie has lost his magic he came personally to campaign for Pete.

[henster]

What is the dirt on Fagg? I know Rosendale has the Maryland issue seems like he'd be the ideal opponent.

[henster]

Usually WA does a big dump of mail votes in the first few mins, does Cali do the same?

[henster]

I don't think de Leon is going to make it.

CA10 looks like a potential lockout for Dems, this was on nobodies radar.

[henster]

Looks like Ami Bera is finally catching a break this cycle.

If I were Dems I would be thinking about rolling back the gas tax, at least reducing it by a few cents. Repeal proposition is probably going to drive a lot of GOP voters to the polls moreso than John Cox ever could.

Republicans already might have gotten a repeal initiative for it on the ballot for November, an initiative which also requires voter approval for new gas taxes. I think another Atlas user said they submitted signatures week(s) ago.

Gas really doesn't have to be so expensive in CA. As far as I know, it is higher than avg even without the new gas tax for several reasons (special blend only CA uses, pipelines, etc). Democrats might need to reconsider some of those things if they want to raise gas taxes, because they can't just pile on regulations and taxes and expect no backlash.

They should've gone to the ballot with the gas tax in the first place a much smaller one would've passed in 2017 when gas was cheaper.

CA10 now the biggest chance for a lockout.

Golden down to 49.7.

Yea this is where RCV gets annoying, it's unlikely but you could see St. Clair who has like 40% of the vote win when everything is allocated. I think a 45%+ cutoff and you win is good enough and anything below is a runoff election is a better alternative.
