  1. Just wanted to add I still think Beto has a "puncher's chance" for the following reasons:

    1. the narrative on gun control has shifted, which blunts criticism of his earlier remarks on gun control;

    2. Republicans control this state - not Joe Biden. Remind voters of that - when things aren't good people want to blame the party in power. Biden isn't on the ballot, but Abbott sure is.

    But that's about it and #2 is a tougher sell.

    you have to admit, they were spot on with every regional and super regional though

    Not sure if serious - Boyd's ISR model whiffed on the supers pretty bad.

    The key will be whether he appears in public or not. Recall that in quick succession, Brezhnev, Andropov, and Chernenko disappeared from public view because each “had a cold.” Which meant that they were dead. This is the Russian play. If Putin isn’t seen for a while, and they say he has a cold….he’s already dead.

    This guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Mishustin

    Will take over should Putin croak. He's a total rube and has no power base.

    In short, he'll call new elections and we'll have a free-for-all to see who gets to be the next dictator of Russia.

    If he’s starting for Chelsea in August I will agree.

    if he's playing regular first team minutes then I don't care where he's playing.

    Musah was man of the match, but holy shit, he is definitely not one you can count on to put the ball in the net.

    the ES goalie did make some good saves though.
