Worst political ad since demon sheep. If the GOP is going to spend 300k on ads like that Lamb has nothing to worry about.

Does meeting with a group automatically change all of your policy position to match the ones they support? I am not sure that is how it works.

Yet there’s evidence the Republican offensive might be having some effect. A data analysis completed by the RNC during the middle of last week showed Lamb leading just 48 percent to 47 percent, according to two people briefed on the numbers. The Democrat’s advantage had shrunk from 4 percentage points in the committee’s previous analysis of the race days earlier.

RNC internals show Saccone down.

The shift in the US happened during the ordeal that was 2000 I believe, due to the New York Times publishing election maps using the present colors. Before that there was not any consensus among media outlets.

The Ward 1 precincts that vote at Lincoln Elementary in Mt. Lebanon all went for Clinton by 60-65% of the vote.
