- I thought I read they had already given up on the idea entirely. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 19:22 4
  - That equates to putting Rudy in charge. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 19:42

I basically want Warnock and Ossoff to be inseparable until the runoff. - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 19:06 7
- wild speculation that I'm pulling out of my butt: If Biden wins GA, perhaps the GOP faithful lose heart for the Senate fight (don't turn out in #s) -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 19:10 6
  - Special elections are notorious for low turnout. GOTV will be essential if Dems want to win. -- nm - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 4, 19:12
  - Unless control of the Senate is at stake, I could see this happening. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 19:11 4
    - which it will be, so my butt analysis is best forgotten -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 19:12 3

        I believe Purdue's lead is shrinking and he's just barely over 50% right now. The Libertarian got like 2%. -- nm - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 19:16 1

The Trump campaign is really grasping at straws in GA now - Brian Nov 4, 18:38 16

  - (sidenote: thanks for hanging with us the last few months) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 4, 18:46 3
    - Brian's legitimately the best signal-to-noise poster here. -- nm - David Nov 4, 18:47 2
      - rude. -- nm - mafic Nov 4, 19:23 1
        
        Don't worry. You probably crack the top 100. - David Nov 4, 19:25

      - Hi! -- nm - Lincoln Project, sitting on a load of cash. Nov 4, 18:51 7
        
        They salted the earth. I just don't see how they come back. They're their own thing now. -- nm - David Nov 4, 18:52 5
        
        Colin nailed it on the backboard. They didn't succeed in taking down the GOP. The only thing they succeeded in was hoovering up cash from angry libs. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 18:58 [Backboard] 1
        
        I don't think they actually hoovered that much cash from Dems. One of their backers was Christy Walton who is really a R. -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 19:03
        
        Also they are managers, they aren't "faces" -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:54 2
        
        The question was who's in charge, not who's the face of the party. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 18:58 1
        
        The face ultimately runs things. They're a bunch of Leos and Tobys. A Josiah will call the shots -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 19:08
        
        They know they aren't invited back. I have even heard them speak that out loud. -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:52
The discrepancy between in person and mail in voting is amazing. I've only found 3 counties in Pennsylvania where Trump is leading the mail in votes. - Dano Nov 4, 18:30 5
- Vote by mail is only going to get more prevalent and this is going to terrify Republicans. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 18:37
- Democrats didn't believe his doom and gloom about mail and drop-box voting? -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 18:33 3
  - Or were concerned about his 'poll watchers' -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 18:36 2
    - I personally was concerned about the virus. I didn't want to risk exposing my spouse. -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:39 1
      - That too. -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 18:48
I wish they’d move Kornacki’s board up about a foot. Why make him lean over for hours and hours? -- nm - Volnelk Nov 4, 18:28 1
- They praise him so much that he doesn't realize that he is being punked. -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:31

- Spoiler for no time to die? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 18:29 2
  - not really they've low keyed announced this... -- nm - Remlik Nov 4, 18:31 1
    - Ah. OK. (I really like it, I guess they're just getting word out so the people who are going to lose their shit can gird their loins.) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 18:33
- I should probably watch Spectre one day. -- nm - mafic Nov 4, 18:29 1
  - It's good, not great. WAY better than quantum of solace. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 18:42
- Well, no. She says her character inherits the designation of “007”, but also... maybe she shouldn’t be talking about that publicly? -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 18:29 10
  - I would think the people who once could crack the enigma code could come up with 009, 0010, etc. But maybe they've lost their numbers skills. -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:33 9
    - they did it already with Sean Bean. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 4, 18:42 3
      - That is why I left 008 out of my list -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:42 2
        
        He was double oh six. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 18:51 1
        
        pffft, I thought there was an eight somewhere. -- nm - crash davis Nov 4, 18:53
    - They’re not the Yankees. They don’t retire a number just because he got the record for most assassinations. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 18:41 3
      - Babe Ruth? - Krusty Nov 4, 18:59 1
        
        This belongs below but it still stands -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 19:00
      - I heard that’s why the Yankees retired #3. -- nm - Mop Nov 4, 18:47
    - L3 -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 18:33
I was thinking last night I wonder where Trump would have moved to had he lost FL? - spamlet Nov 4, 18:27 4

- My all time favorite concession speech was Davy Crockett's "You all can go to hell and I will go to Texas" - crash davis Nov 4, 18:28
Ok, there wasn't nearly as much whiskey left in that bottle as I was hoping there was. -- nm* - znufrii Nov 4, 18:23 7
- I've put quite the dent in two bottles the last 48 hours. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 4, 18:30 2
