Either on here or another thread, someone said 125k was the non-canabilized projection. On track to hit that in which case, if statewide, Ted's toast imo.
I appreciate the efforts but if your math has Beto down by 300k votes in the largest counties through early voting, something is seriously off. Wouldn't that be significantly underperforming Clinton/Trump?
My sister in law works at Amazon. They have the first ever company wide "all hands" live streamed meeting with Bezos on Thursday. So this should be offcially over then.
The national following he's gotten has been incredible. If he wins he'll be the biggest political rock star Dems have. I want him to serve out his full term but he's going to have a lot of influence within the party.
Why don't we get through Tuesday before picking apart his campaign? If he wins, then he'll have done every fucking thing right. I don't need Karl Rove to tell me Beto should have done more to appeal to Rove's family, or organizers who have been failing to get Texans to vote in election after election how he should have done his GOTV.
I wore a Beto shirt to a Lyle Lovett/Robert Earl Keen concert here in Northern VA a couple weeks ago. Had about 10 people come up to me and say nice shirt and that they hope he wins. Robert Earl Keen did a double take and gave me a thumbs up .
Im fairly optimistic we can make a lot of progress in ending gerrymandering in this next redistricting cycle. Obviously in states with split control this should happen but even were Dems have the opportunity to gerrymandering, I think they'll be pushed to draw fair districts. There's a lot of overlap between the end gerrymandering crowd and Dems pushing other structural reforms like campaign finance reform. See Beto.
