Before you all have orgasms, you might wait to see what happens in the coming Pennsylvanial special elections. Rural and most of Trumpian Virginia did not turn against the GOP. Virginia has become a red (by Atlas' colors) northeastern state. Q
The GOP WON THE Supreme Court and a Judge of the Commonwealth seats in state wide elections in PA. They did comparatively well in some counties and comparatively badly in some counties. I do not see a wave building there yet.
Back it up. 1) the turnout in Pennsylvania was abysmal. There were almost as many votes counted in . the NYC Mayoral election as there were in PA. 2) Democrats took 3/4 open state superior court seats. 3) There we two open Commonwealth seats. one winner was a Democrat and the one Republican that won (Fizzano-Cannon) barely took second place. 3) All liberal judges on the supreme court won the right to retain their seats by wide margins. 4) 5/7 supreme court seats are occupied by Democrats. The Republican that won was an incumbent and Pennsylvanians are generally favorable to incumbents.
But anyways, using the elections in Pennsylvania is a very poor defense.
Touchy, touchy. I did not say a wave would not happen. I said to wait for the Pa specials.
Another point in your favor is the GOP winner were women. Women have unique assets in judicial races.
However, it seems the GOP won of the Superior Court positions.
The fact that judges are retained in a retention election is irrelevant. Ii is extremely difficult for a judge to lose a retention election
