LA Times on CA races. Would be interested to hear @Js1's take. I am surprised that CA-27 stayed red after all the GOP bullshit over the last 2+ years.
Quote“Our campaign got next-to-zero outside resources to fight this battle. In fact, I was fighting the institutional power of my own party from the outset of this race,” Smith said in a scathing series of remarks on Twitter. With no help on the airwaves and little elsewhere from Democratic Party committees and PACs, “we didn’t stand a chance.”
Smith is no different from scores of other candidates who believe victory would’ve been theirs if not for stingy support from Washington. But her unusually blunt remarks Sunday highlighted the stark turn of events in the campaign for California’s 27th District — a contest in which Democrats were expected to mount an all-out effort to oust incumbent Rep. Mike Garcia after he barely eked out a win two years earlier.
“This is a massive screw-up on their end,” said political consultant Brandon Zavala, who ran Smith’s 2020 campaign but did not work on this year’s race. “We’re looking here at a Biden plus-12 [district] that we’re about to hand to Republicans.”
QuoteSmith’s woes underscored a particular challenge for candidates running in the Los Angeles media market, where reaching voters via television can be prohibitively expensive. In a year when Democrats were playing defense all across the country, the party opted to stay out of Los Angeles’ broadcast market entirely — a decision that reverberated through closely watched congressional races.
In Orange County, Democrat Jay Chen was outspent by roughly $5 million, according to AdImpact, a firm that tracks television and digital ads, in his unsuccessful bid to unseat GOP Rep. Michelle Steel, who got millions of dollars of assistance from the House GOP campaign arm and allied outside groups. GOP Rep. Young Kim had around $500,000 more in advertising than her Democratic challenger, Asif Mahmood, whom she easily defeated.
Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who remains locked in a close contest with Republican challenger Scott Baugh in Orange County, also got no advertising help from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, although her commanding fundraising meant she had plenty of funds to outspend her opponent. In Riverside County, Will Rollins, the Democrat who challenged incumbent Republican Rep. Ken Calvert, had a slight advantage on-air, but his unexpectedly narrow loss made some allies wonder whether more party help could’ve made a difference.

There’s this guy that keeps setting my neighbor’s house on fire. The other day when my neighbor tried to put it out, some sparks flew off the roof onto my garden shed.
Thinking of giving my neighbor a talking too about proper firefighting technique and I’m not gonna let him point the finger at some “arsonist” that keeps tossing Molotov cocktails through his window.
Right, but what about your neighbor's Nazi bio-labs?

Wait until after tonight. If they don't flip back like the fucking chodes they are I will be massively surprised.
Most wont. Enough will to cause a serious problem for their chances at the WH in '24. Of course, a lot can happen between now and then.

Two weeks ago I would have said the same thing. Lake was a horrid person and lost by 20K votes. It's not hard to think that a less horrid GOP candidate would have beaten Hobbs.
hobbs has the job for what I assume is 4 years. Time to govern and learn to communicate.
not sure why so many of you want to paint Hobbs as the perfect campaigner.
Not a single person has said that. Are you aware you're turning into the satyanash of the CR?

This is why no one can call the House yet. Quite a few races can change in California. Dems are looking at CA-22, 27 and 41 as pickup opportunities
I'd be shocked if CA-27 didn't flip.

On an unrelated note, can someone tell this casual observer why its not a total disaster that the 30-44 age group only went D+2? After all the shit GOP has pulled, not to mention Roe going down, how tf do the millennials basically split equally between GOP and Dems?

I don't know, Jim. There's obviously something wrong with him. He's taken off his shoes and one of his socks and... actually, I think he's crying."The GOP needs needs to look deep into a mirror to figure out why their message isn't resonating with the people after tonight's results.....and when you do that you come to the conclusion that Americans want people like DeSantis and Greg Abbott"

The Dems need to figure out how to win the Hispanic vote back, energize the youth, up their turnout etc... The GOP has made big gains in the latino vote in the last decade or so. The state can be purple, but it would require a great deal of competence. I'm not sure the Dems have it in them.
They should look to California then. Latinos support for the democratic party remain strong.

Well then maybe the site admins should stop allowing frequent fliers to return to the site after getting banned four fucking times? cc: GRUhorn
I don't disagree, but continuing to invite them into disucssions isn't really addressing the problem.

Fuck you @Chrispy aka @DonkeyCigars aka @MonkeyCigarette aka @MeerkatBong for leaving out the massive degree of voter suppression and gerrymandering that's happening at the hands of the right.
Year over year, fewer voters are getting more seats in the capitol. It's the actual real mechanism by which democracy dies.
Why do you do this? Do you think the rest of us want to watch you engage with a pack of trolls? Just fucking PM them and have at it.

I was there; as far as i know, that's the one and only time we rushed the field. We did it at the Cotton Bowl in the 88-92 era too, but cant remember exactly what year.
I feel like we debate this point a lot around here, but I remember rushing the field after Dawson beat UVA and I certainly wasn't the only one.

Seems like as good a time as any to call on the vaunted 12TH MAN!!!!
What’s that? The 12th Man story is also just more bullshit? Oh.
We're a few losses away from a new tradition: the 13th through 75th man.
