Nobody should ever think that just because her husband screwed around on her that she is in any way an admirable person.

Interestingly they mentioned Abbott and the local state rep but not a word about Pacton.

I live in Texas in a district with a sycophantic Trump loving congressman (just to set the stage). The other day I got a door knocker coming around to make sure I was going to vote for Abbott for governor. I can't remember the last time they felt the need to deploy people to my area.

The same thing they have been doing for years?

How much farther was Maye supposed to throw that ball to Doubs?

At least there are less of the insane wire they were strapping down toys with a few years ago.

It was so incongruous having a modern Democrat from Alabama it addles our memories.

Careful there. You are thinking about politics instead of ideological purity.

A drunk successfully driving home doesn't mean they should be congratulated.

What's your REAL motivation in saying that, hmmmmm?????

At least you don't ever have to wonder if making a chart was a good idea.

Sean @swblather.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I was wondering the exact same thing when I saw the picture.

I wonder if he wears a mitre with a propeller on top when he is doing geek stuff like tech support.

If you go all the way back to the top you'll see I agree with you that Collins is VERY formidable. /I'll have to check on that reply setting

Fair. It's not some kind of monolithically blue state. I'm not confusing it with Hawaii, but the majority of the votes (and hence 3 of 4 EVs) have gone Blue for 30 years. So it's not bonkers to think of it as leaning blue overall.

Do the officers lose access to the Flock data while on paid vacation?

Really curious who would win a debate between Mitch and Tommy Tuberville.

000

Wow! It's just like in the movies!

Pessimists! Premium grades are a real value now.

As to your earlier comment Minnesota would be shocking. I'm a little closer to "Maine" feeling on New Hampshire.

100

You didn't at all. You made a completely valid point.

010

But candidates matter. It's all a semantic debate regardless. Overjoyed to be having these senate discussions though. January 2025 me absolutely didn't think this is what we would be discussing.

Minnesota would be a shock indeed. New Hampshire could be pretty tight. The Maine should go blue case is really based on this is a blue year and ticket splitting is really disappearing so a state with a 30 year history of voting Dem in the presidential should be in the "should be blue" category.

100

I think we can at least agree that Maine is going to be a challenge for the Democrats.

100

Hence my comment. In a vacuum, Maine should head blue, but Susan Collins doesn't lose elections.

It's a state that has gone Dem for president since 1992 so in a very blue year like 2026 you would think it would lean that way.

100

You should be right, but Susan Collins in like Rasputin so I just can't feel comfortable about Maine.
