Larry Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 MN has 2 senators up for election in the same year? Is that allowed? Or is one of them a special? Also pointing out: I'm pretty sure MN isn't exactly a tossup state. Big D leads don;t necessarily mean Blue Wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back when Franken and Norm Coleman ran against each other it was almost historically close (also Coleman was the incumbent), though that was about 10 years ago. The previous governor was also a Republican back in 2010 and the current governor won his race by like .40 % in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still competitive House races that would be helped by a blue wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 From 538 today, re: Minnesota Quote Janie Velencia: Minnesota is also interesting in that both of its Senate seats are on the ballot in November and will likely stay blue, but the state’s House seats are pretty competitive. The Classic version of the FiveThirtyEight forecast currently rates five of the state’s eight races as competitive (lean Republican, lean Democrat, likely Republican, likely Democrat or toss-up). geoffrey.skelley: Yeah, Minnesota is basically the epicenter of competitive House races — it more or less has the largest share of races that are competitive of any state. nrakich: Theoretically, Minnesota’s House delegation could be six Republicans and two Democrats or seven Democrats and one Republican. That’s, uh, a big range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Completely unsurprising that Pence supports him, even outside of just regular partisan campaigning. He probably has the exact same beliefs. It's interesting...take this guy's quotes and replace "woman" or "female" with "person" or "human being" and the absurdity is immediately obvious.

DogofWar1 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Gawd I wish we could criminalize Christianity. Then maybe we'd get some good **** done politically and me reading the Bible before bed would seem cool and rebellious instead of "oh my gawsh please have shorter names I'm too sleepy for this 6 syllable nonsens-" *falls asleep mid-verse* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I read an article that said most Secretary of States will recuse themselves from being in charge of the voting process or even step down from the position all together when they are running for Governor due to the conflict of interest of them being the person to oversee the election process. Not Brian Kemp though. Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 After going way off course during the Kavanaugh fiasco, 538 is back to having interesting content. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-states-where-democrats-or-republicans-could-seize-full-control-of-government/ Quote Republicans have full control of 26 state governments; Democrats have only eight. But with 36 governorships and more than 6,000 state-legislative seats (across 87 different chambers) on the ballot this year, that could change in a big way after Nov. 6. Republicans’ overexposure in governorships and legislatures alike, plus the Democratic-leaning national environment, could give Democrats ample opportunity to not only break up existing Republican trifectas, but also secure trifectas of their own. It goes on to list, in unhealthy but glorious detail, the states where (7) Dems or (5) Republicans could gain full control and/or Dems could break the other party's full control (8 states) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
