Susan Collins fucking SMOKED Jackson at the debate last night. Like. Embarassed him.

Topic: What one question do you want to ask your opponent.

Collins: You served in Augusta for more than 20 years and were President of the Senate. In that time, more than 1/3 of your bills were unanimously voted down in committee. If you can't even get the support of a single Democrat, how are you going to get anything done in a closely divided Senate as its most junior member?

Jackson: uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

110 101 Collins: You served in Augusta for more than 20 years and were President of the Senate. In that time, more than 1/3 of your bills were unanimously voted down in committee. If you can't even get the support of a single Democrat, how are you going to get anything done in a closely divided Senate as its most junior member?

Trust the steal. But also I think they are being somewhat pragmatic. That is why so many of them are ducking debates. They know that an at all fair moderator will end up with them in a fail-fail state. Either they moderate, and piss off the DSA types who might kill them, or they don't moderate and go full fire breathing commie and piss off everyone else.

I remember one of my government teachers in the before times high school era saying that one of the strengths of our system (and this was echoed by Shelby Foote in the civil war series) is that it forced moderation and compromise in order to appeal to the people. Social media and insularity between groups is forcing that system to break down.

They haven't pulled anything, but they've barely responded to the late stage onslaught of ad dollars Republican groups started throwing at the state a few weeks ago.

Like, Schumer gave Talarico $2 million. That gets you late night ads outside of Dallas at this point in the campaign.

Meanwhile, Thune pledged tens of millions.

There are two contested senate races where Democrats are outspending Republicans (NC and GA) through the end of the campaign, and they're barely outspending Republicans in those states.

180 Perhaps. But Collins herself sounded like she suffers from the palsy or has oldtimers.
Posted by: Tonypete
=======
Fun fact, Maine's electorate is a large majority of old white people much the same as the rest of New England (median age about 45) . So Collins is a literal representative of voters there. 22 percent of the population there is 65+ in age which means more like about 30-40 percent of the electorate.

The only place where the Hispanic vote matters this year is in Texas.

And it matters less than the fact that the exurban vote in the state is wildly inelastic and will vote 80-20 Republican or so.

195 NC, almost definitely and GA probably.
Posted by: Washington Nearsider

Depends on turnout now. Vote by mail figures do not show a blue wave in Georgia for example and early voting is just starting (in Georgia the early voting is now truncated compared to previous elections so it will not really be a direct 1:1 comparison with past years). NC is a hard state to read and TJM probably knows more about what is going on than I do.

Haven't seen much actual voting stats if any from there and ALL polls now are considered suspect and prediction markets are trash.

We also face the issue of how independents are going to break--most are actually leaners, not true independents and these are the most difficult to reach in polling and also turnout. Doesn't appear that we are getting huge voting numbers that way in the competitive states (ignoring those that primarily vote by mail in the West).

The idea that the state that went Trump+3 was suddenly an easy win for Democrats at the federal, statewide level because Roy Cooper, who left his governorship a couple of years ago in a terrible position because of Helene and his criminal policies, was always ludicrous.

Last time Cooper won statewide election, there were 400,000 more registered Dems than Reps (he won by 250,000 votes). There are now 10,000 more Reps than Dems. And, the propensity to send senators of the "wrong party" by PVI is far less than the propensity for electing senators of the "wrong party" by PVI. Think Hogan in MD or Romney in MA.

He's got name recognition, which is not nothing. But it's far from everything.
