I wonder if they will make an ad to try and get people to vote for the green candidate.

[Corrian]

Missouri Senate race is currently literally tied

Edit: Hawley was up by 2 earlier.

Scott has also gained a bit in Florida

And here's another potential sleeper, I don't know if anyone's noticed but there might be a Democratic upset in Alaska. Longtime Rep. Don Young has been floating at about 3-5 points ahead of Alyse Galvin(running as an Independent and a Democrat), and Galvin actually took the lead in a poll by Alaska Survey Research last week.

Is that like...the only poll in Alaska? I keep seeing it be used.

Only a bit.

Rosen gained in Nevada.

Tie on Missouri.

A decent chance Dems can will all 3. But I still go with a 52 48 GOP senate.

Really hope Gillum holds on. Florida NEEDS a Democrat in office.

Said candidate dropped out and endorsed Sinema

I thought a candidate couldn't drop out so close to election day.

Good. Right call, far more important to get as many Democrats in as possible.

You can't get them off the ballot but they can certainly stop campaigning and endorse someone else.

"Angela Green of the Green Party will fight the Pelosi agenda and work with Trump if elected."

>Fight the Pelosi agenda

I have this odd inclination to vote Green now...

If you register with the Green Party before 2019, they'll give you a free bottle of Kombucha and some Margaret Atwood fanfiction.

Yep, but there were a couple of Democratic-slanted pollsters that polled this race before; all had Young in the lead. There's quite a bit of evolution going on in Alaska, as Young has gradually lost his large advantage. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2018-midterm-election-forecast/house/alaska/1/

If Young, someone who has been in the House for 45 fucking years and someone who has spent all 45 years being repugnant, loses his race, I'll be so thrilled.

Well, serves the Republicans right for abolishing earmarks. That was one of the things that kept him in for so long.

[Corrian]

I remember when we pondered Clinton winning Alaska, so I guess I shouldn't be terribly surprised.

Suspected they were a messed up party. This confirms it.

We really do need term limits for the House and Senate.

I'm pretty sure he's not saying the party said that, just what the GOP would say the party would say.

Or people could just elect someone else...
