Right now Republicans in 2022 are looking like a Kickstarter that hit their initial funding ask, but didn’t hit any of their stretch goals…
Republican John Kennedy avoids a runoff in Louisiana. NY Post/RCP: “Republicans were expected to pick up three Senate seats from Democrats, gaining a 53-47 majority after two years out of power, according to the latest projection by RealClearPolitics. The same outlet predicts the GOP will regain their House majority by winning at least 227 seats.”
“Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria has lost her bid for re-election in Virginia’s 2nd congressional district to Republican State Sen. Jen Kiggans. Luria, a veteran naval officer, was elected to the House of Representatives as part of a Democratic wave in 2018. In the past year, she has risen in prominence as a member of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.”
Yeah, you can see how important voters found the January 6 farce.
Going off to walk my dogs. Republicans had a good night, and will likely take the House and Senate, but not any better than you might expect in a regular midterm, and not nearly as much as you might expect with a president as unpopular as Biden.
Beto concedes. So long, and thanks for the $160 million!
Cahill, U.S. Marshall. Must be George Kennedy Night.

Chris Sununu looks like football pundit Peter King.
Honestly, I’m seeing a red wave, but not the red tsunami some were predicting in the last week.
Williamson County judge too close to call. Possibly headed to a runoff.

Kemp wins in Georgia. Barring any 3 AM pipe breaks.
Unfortunately, the Social Justice Warrior slate is up in RRISD races.
Six years later, and we’re still laughing at the Jeb! meme.
Pause while I get the doggies some food.
OMG! Ron Paul is up 3 points!
Now Patrick is leading Collier.
KVUE is talking as though Beto might win. Nah, he’s toast.
Austin commie twerp Greg Cesar is headed to the U.S. House. On behalf of Texas, we apologize in advance.
Garza up just slightly over Paxton. Still early.
KVUE’s team is sortof crap, but still better than anything else on.
Abbott only wolloping Bobby Francis by 8 points right now.

Too early for meaningful Texas results.
Stand by. We’re on the air.
CNN’s exit polls are disasterous for Democrats.
Charlie Crist: Less popular than Jeb!
Back from voting. I’ve never seen higher turnout for a midterm, and possibly never higher turnout even for a Presidential year.
“In a shocking turn of events, data analysts at Fox News have called the gubernatorial race in Arizona for Stacey Abrams.”
538 now gives Dr. Oz the edge over Fetterman. But is it beyond the range of Philadelphia fraud?
