Democrat Ryan wins bellwether special election for NY House seatTo drive their respective voters to the polls, Molinaro zeroed in on the economy, while Ryan looked to seize on anger surrounding the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Hizzah! Dem seizing on Roe V Wade versus Repub seizing on economy wins out over Repub. Once again...vindication.

I voted third party in 2016, my disdain for both Clinton and Trump was so high I had to officially register my disgust of the choices given us. I’d do it again today.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Liz Cheney will appreciate your vote Pero. The problem is, if she runs and it's Trump and ol' Joe, Trump wins.

Democrats winning in New York is no surprise. That same race would've gone the other way here. But hizzah indeed, a seat is a seat is a seat.
Cheney...? Third party? Are you making this up?

It’s a what if article, what if Cheney ran as an independent in 2024 and it was Trump vs. Biden. It’s an article that catches one attention only to have scan it and forgets about it. New poll indicates a Liz Cheney presidential run would hurt Biden more than Trump https://news.yahoo.com/new-poll-ind...-trump-162214168.html?fr=sycsrp_catchallNeither Trump nor Biden will be running in 2024. I glanced over the article and then forgot about it. Nothing to be taken seriously.

And while I'm at it, here my latest update.
Senate and House update 24 Aug 2022
Senate +1-3 equals lean, but within the MOE. These states are very competitive with one party or candidate having a slight advantage. +4-6 outside the MOE, equals likely but still competitive. +7 and above, those states aren’t listed. They’re considered solid or safe for the party that currently holds them.
Senate changes – AZ D Kelly from +3 to +5, NH D Hassan from +4 to +5, WI D Barnes from -2 to +1
Arizona Kelly D – Kelly +5 Democratic hold R 50 D 50
Georgia Warnock D – Warnock +3 Democratic hold R 50, D 50
Nevada Cortez Masto D – Cortez Masto +1 Democratic hold R 50 D 50
New Hampshire Hassan D – Hassan +5 Democratic hold R 50 D 50
North Carolina Burr R – Burr is retiring, open seat. R Budd vs. D Beasley. Budd +1 Republican hold. R 50 D 50
Ohio – Portman R – Portman is retiring, open seat. R Vance vs, D Ryan Vance +2 Republican hold. R 50 D 50
Pennsylvania Toomey R – Toomey is retiring, open seat. R Oz vs. D Fetterman +4 Democratic gain R 49 D 51
Wisconsin Johnson R – R Johnson vs D Barnes Democratic gain R 48 D 52
Missouri R Blunt, Oklahoma R Inhofe, Vermont, D Leahy are retiring, these open seats may make my watch list if they become competitive later. Pennsylvania looks like the only seat to change hands, giving the Democrats a 51-49 advantage in the senate.
House of Representatives
Currently the House of Representative consists of 221 Democrats, 214 Republicans. The GOP needs a net gain of 4 seats to take control of the House. There are 57 competitive, switchable, at risk districts. Currently held by 42 Democrats and 15 Republicans. Safe seats as of 24 Aug 2022, 179 Democratic, 199 Republican. Probable net gain for the Republicans is 18-20 seats. Which would give the GOP control of the house with the majority over the Democrats somewhere between 232-203 to 234-201.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Florida Democrats have chosen Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor, to run as a Democrat against Republican governor DeSantis.
He's tried before against Scott and lost. He'll lose this time too. I'd rather have seen Nikki Fried make the attempt. At least she's a real Democrat and a rising star in the state party.
Maybe it's best to let Crist take the fall this time, it won't cost him any political capital to lose this race.

The latest poll I have on the Florida Governors race has DeSantis up by 8 points. Which is way outside of the MOE of the poll. More important is DeSantis is leading Crist among independents 51-39. https://www.unf.edu/uploadedFiles/aa/coas/porl/UNF%20PORL%20August%20Survey.pdf

Li'l Marco just gave an interview to CBS4 - Miami stating that he's against abortion - even in cases of rape or incest. Say hello to Senator Demmings. Twitter

As I have been stating all year, this November 2022 election will be about democracy or Fascism. Guess ol' Joe has been lurking at Reader Rant: The early morning crew at Fox News lashed out at President Joe Biden Friday morning, just hours after he held a fiery rally in Maryland Thursday night and made the stakes for the November midterms clear: It’s democracy or fascism. - Alternet.org
