    Rumours


    WHERE ARE THE RUMOURS??

    Some people have voted GOP. Others have voted DEM :smiley:
    Katy Perry voted GOP
    She voted for Rick Caruso, who used to be a Republican, and is now a Democrat. (Really, though, he's run on a "I'm not a politician" ticket.)
    He quit the GOP 19 days ago…
    Source? Because all the campaign literature I've had from him has had "Democrat" on it.
    According to Wiki he quit the GOP in 2019, and was independent then until this year.

    What's odd though is that he also quit the GOP in 2011 but rejoined it in 2016. Seems odd timing to rejoin the GOP 2016-2019, then go to the Democrats.

    First US Congress result announced (well sort of) from Guam:

    'The U.S. territory sends one nonvoting delegate to Congress, and that delegate had always been a Democrat going back to 1993. That is no longer true after Republican James Moylan defeated his Democratic opponent and became the first GOP pick-up in Congress and just the second Republican ever sent to Congress by the island.
    Moylan had trailed in exit polls by 13 percentage points but won by 5. The island’s Democratic governor held on (though she won by 11 points, compared to the 24 points she led by in exit polls), and Democrats gained a seat in the territorial legislature. Guam voters were apparently content with their local Democratic Party, but not the national Democratic Party.'

    No it doesn't. Literally the first sentence of the article says otherwise.

    Rick Caruso, the shopping mall magnate who is considering a run for mayor of heavily Democratic Los Angeles, said Monday he has changed his political affiliation from no party preference to Democrat.

    I think the big revival of religion in the US happened or at least started in the 1890s, proabition in 1913 being there first big national win, after similar laws in some states in the 10 years before that.

    The exit poll results could have been much worse for the Dems . The results on the abortion issue and democracy are key things that stand out . Biden’s approval rating is higher than in many recent polls and the fact that college educated are making up a higher percentage of the electorate will also be encouraging for them .

    however, I would be really tempted having seen some exit polls to think he Republicans have bot done as well as expected.

    They will take the house, but currents 250+ seats is favourite on betfair, I'd be tempted to say Democrats doing alot better than expected.

    It's actually slightly more nuanced that what it sounds like. In the interview what he said was something like: "If they lose they'll probably blame me, and if they win they won't give me any credit at all. It's actually the reverse". He then also said the quote itself.

    It has a sort of sense. Let's say Trump's amazing popularity and saintly halo effect leads to a 50% uplift for each Republican candidate. In that instance, he would deserve all the credit if they were to win, and none of the opprobrium if they were to lose.

    A comment on the failure of American journalists: In the last 20 years, our reporters have become less and less diverse -- if you measure diversity by a range of opinions, rather than a range of colors. And, among Republican voters, the faith in their impartiality has gone down at the same time. So, many Republican voters are getting their information from other sources and assuming, automatically, that, for example if the New York Times says it is so, then it isn't.

    Disasters, for example the 1619 project, have reinforced this, and helped to change Republican views of "mainstream" journalists from a healthy skepticism to an outright hostility.

    Whatever faults the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and other such publications have, they give the UK a range of ideas in newsprint that are not available in most US cities. A small, but telling example: My local monopoly newspaper, the Seattle Times, prints a list of famous birthdays every day -- but in recent years has refused to even mention Abraham Lincoln's.

    There are exceptions, of course, such as the New York Post and, on some subjects, the Wall Street Journal.

    That assessment seems to be the case, the question is what do you do about it? CNNs new owners seem to be trying to push the channel back to the canter, and I wish them luck in that,

    The prohibition amendment and the women's national suffrage movement were passed at nearly the same time, 1919 and 1920, respectively. Both were preceded by similar actions in states; for example, Wyoming granted women the right to vote in 1869 (and now calls itself the "equality state").

    Many people were in both movements, with women predominating.

    (In 1776, New Jersey granted women the right to vote in a new state constitution -- if they had enough property. Some free blacks voted in New Jersey then, too, apparently, subject to the same property requirement.

    (Fun fact: As a lawyer, Lincoln defended many different people, including one early temperance advocate, a woman who broke up a saloon with a hatchet. I don't recall the outcome of the case.)

    I had the absolute honour to receive my Knighthood today from the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle. I am incredibly proud. It was a truly humbling and wonderful experience. And it is deserved recognition of the games industry and all the brilliant people who are part of it.

    Maybe some use electronic voting machines and others use paper ballots.

    I agree. Not a massive GOP landslide. But a definite setback for Biden and probably enough to get Trump running again

    He was running even if the Dems had taken every seat in the Senate that was for election.

    Nothing will stop Trump.

    Declaration within days.

    Personally I think the better the republicans do tonight the less likely it is that Trump will win the R nomination. If R do well then R, (well some of them) will realise they don't need Trump to Win.

    Florida senate called for Rubio
  • BigRichBigRich Posts: 3,492

    13th and 15th in Florida are flips to GOP

    Yes, but like almost all house seats, they are on new borders, so are flips from a hypothetical projection of how this seat would have voted at the last election. Even so those 2 allown have almost flipped the house.

    The BE market on a GOP majority in the Senate and the market on the number of GOP seats aren't particularly well-aligned at the moment.

    Here's something I hadn't known:
    Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) is one of the GOP’s top targets this fall. But it’s unclear if Don Bolduc, who wasn’t Republicans’ first choice to win the primary, can beat her. A retired Army general, Bolduc ran as a 2020 election denier who talked about potentially disbanding the FBI. He is trying to walk back some of these more extreme stances, including saying that after more research into the election he realized Joe Biden was the legitimate winner.
    (Links omitted.)

    Well, I'm glad he did more research.
