Rev on the Red Line was written about racing in Rochester, when you told me you use to race I thought of that.

Yep, lou graham. Racing down Lake Ave. Used to be the thing to do. I actually live minutes from where Lou Graham grew up. I also live right near Kenneth Bianchi, the hillside strangler serial killer lived.

Small world....

Now Mississippi is in play??? George Will predicted the Alabama election of a Democrat. Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas all turning or in play to one degree or another.

Assume that he wins 95 percent of the African American turnout. If that turnout is 33 percent of the total state turnout, as it was in 2016 when Hillary Clinton expended no resources on Mississippi, he needs 28 percent of the remaining vote. If African American turnout is 35 percent — the African American portion of the state’s registered electorate — he would need 26 percent of the other votes. If African American turnout mirrors the African American portion of the state’s population (37 percent), he needs to receive 24 percent of the remaining vote. If the African American turnout is 39 percent of the total, a surge in turnout similar to what occurred in the Alabama special Senate election won by Democrat Doug Jones, Espy will need just 22 percent of the remaining vote. He won 12 percent of the white vote in his first congressional election, 40 percent in his third.

DEMS NEED ANTISEMITES TO WIN, SO THIS WILL BE NO BIG DEAL: Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib Joins Radical Cast at Muslim Conference.

 

Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib was featured at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual conference alongside numerous radical figures, including individuals who have defended terrorist groups, openly called for violence against Israel, and pushed for extreme punishments for homosexuals.

 

Tlaib will almost certainly be heading to Congress in November as the Democratic candidate in a race without a Republican opponent. She has also expressed radical views on Israel since her primary win, saying she would “absolutely” vote against aid to Israel once in Congress. Tlaib supports the BDS movement to wage economic warfare against Israel and opposes a two-state solution—stances that lost her the endorsement of even liberal J Street, a group highly critical of Israel.

 

 

 

Expect more of this.

Two of California's best-known Democrats are slipping in the polls as the calendar advances closer to Election Day.
 

In fact, both Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein have only single-digit leads over their opponents, the results show.
 

In the race for governor, a Probolsky Research poll, conducted between Aug. 29-Sept. 2, shows Newsom leading Republican businessman John Cox by a mere 5 points, with 17 percent of respondents undecided, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
 

Feinstein faces similar problems, with the poll showing her with only an 8-point advantage over progressive challenger Kevin de León. A quarter of the respondents told the pollsters they remain undecided.

Dems have a chance in Tennessee of all places

The Republicans desperation is probably born of the fact they might might hold places like Fl, Georgia, NC, TX, Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada for very long.

I am cross-posting this one. It definitely impacts elections. 
 

It was then necessary to categorize, as Democratic or Republican, the 1,105 unique committees to which Alphabet employees have contributed over the past decade and a half.
 

Since 2004, Alphabet employees have contributed a little over 90% of their political dollars to Democratic candidates and causes. Since 2008, the strongest imbalance came in 2016, when 94% of their contributions went to Democrats. In 2010, Republicans received the largest share of Alphabet employees’ contributions, when they received 19% of political dollars.

Why would they be desperate if they're going to hold onto FL, GA, NC, TX, AZ, and WI for a long time?

Bredesen is telling Tennesseans he will govern in the Senate just as he did in the governor's office back home -- as a pragmatic centrist businessman .

 

This is a lie, although Bredesen may not realize he's telling it (or is conveniently ignoring the obvious). In fact, it's impossible.  Even ten minutes watching the Kavanaugh hearings reminds us of what we already know.  We live in an era of the most extreme partisanship.  There are no middle of the roaders in the Senate.  It's not allowed, virtually verboten, especially on the Democratic side.

 

Whatever Bredesen is thinking, he will arrive in D.C. to caucus with Chuck Schumer's party, unless it's by then Bernie Sanders' party -- even more extreme.  He will have to toe the party line or be ostracized.  Forget plum committee assignments, campaign help, etc.  Conform or go home.

 

Is Bredesen strong enough to fight that?  Even those few Senate Dems (Manchin, Heitkamp, Donnelly) who might do something as simple as vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh -- a man who apparently agreed with liberal nominee Merrick Garland 93% of the time -- hide their votes until they are certain it won't be held against them by their party.  Did Manchin vote for something significant like the tax cut bill, healthcare or immigration reform, despite cajoling by the president and others? In the end, no.  Neither did the Heitkamp or Donnelly. Would Bredesen?  

 

Even less likely. It's party line über alles.  The only place to find Profiles in Courage these days are on the remainder shelves.

 

Marsha Blackburn should make all this clear -- slowly, precisely,  and without rancor, respecting what Bredesen has done but illuminating the present danger.  She needn't do this is in a fancy Hollywood production with Clint Eastwood brought in to direct and she needn't indulge in the usual political palaver about who did what in the past.  This is about the future of all of us. People here know what's going on in Washington -- we all do -- and tend to listen to reason more than most, I've found. Simply facing the camera and telling the truth as it is will suffice.  The good people of the state will respond.

While I appreciate the effort this article tries to make, let me assure you that polls about CA elelctions have as much value to them as the polls that called it for Hillary the day before the 2016 presidential election.

 

Short of Gavin Newsom getting caught raping an illegal immigrant, he is the next governor and it won't even be close.

 

Short of Diane Feinstein dying, she will be re-elected.

 

The polls don't ever show you how CA works, which is simply illegals and dead people cramming ballot boxes unseen and uncontested.  This state will never lose it grip on its residents. It will only bring in more illegal immigrants to make up for the people who leave the state, and they'll be supported by the rest of the drones here who think leaving the state for more sane representation literally makes you a coward.

It certainly wouldn't stop her from voting for herself.
