- I was curious about that as well. - the wrong element Aug 18, 07:36

  - WI is rated tossup on most of the analysis sites. Cook just moved PA to Lean D because Oz just sucks. -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 07:12 2

      - I think they’ll be more updates as we get closer. Roe getting overturned changed things. -- nm - Tim Aug 18, 07:31

- Genera+ion is a show for teens/adults. I guess I’m surprised that’s being pulled. -- nm - MDH Aug 18, 05:23 2
