As of 5:55pm in California:



Looks like both House and Senate will remain Republican at this point.

ERECTION INTENSIFYING!!!

4   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Nov 6, 6:12pm  

KY06 was on everybody's flip list. Solid 3% Red lead with 97% reporting.

Futures are predicting Republicans to hold both as they started moving up.

#MAGA

WTF in Michigan? Check out John James for Senate v. Stabenow.. Of course, probably little Urban Vote in.

Also Gollum is going down to defeat for FL Gov. 93% in, 1% lead DeSantis. Last in is likely Panhandle, slow counting b/c of hurricane

Watching this live its looking a lot like 2016 predictions.

I think I'm gonna watch the news for the first time in two years, just to see losers cry.

So is Nate Silver a prophet or a fucking fag again?

Aphroman says
your Islamic type Religious Conservatism


I've always found this to be an interesting analogy

Aphroman says
even though you’re willing to put your love of racism above the Sovereignty of my country


That might be a bit extreme, but there is an analogy there. Because in the same way that many (not nealry all) otherwise supposedly moderate Muslims won't condemn Islamists who preach death to all infidels, likewise many otherwise NOT racist republicans don't seem to have a problem with politicians that pander to racists.

I guess an argument could be made that it's not as much tolerance of racism, or deep sympathy to toward racist views, as it is a willingness to win elections in any way possible so that the rich can get richer and our new gilded age can flourish while the working man can slowly be ground down.

Gated communities and shanty towns here we come, just as the founding fathers intended !!

Still the shitstorm and drama we call the Trump Presidency will continue, with the drama ratcheted up a few notches with a democratic controlled house !!

Like Farrakhan with Maxine, Ellison, even Obama?

Braun just took Democrat incumbent Donnelly’s seat in Indiana.

What did 538 say?

Who gives a fuck until Republicans cease their jihadist campaign against our freedoms so we can easily bet five figures on it at very low juice

Otherwise there’s no Skin in The Game, and it doesn’t matter


I make enough money without gambling on elections but I agree it should be legal.

No, just a good statistician and detail driven analyst.

Funny that a lot of his critics seem to have a rather deep misunderstanding of polls, statistics, and probability.

Even in the couple hours that I've been viewing here, https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2018-election-results-coverage/?ex_cid=extra_banner 538's assessment of the probability of democrats taking control of the house has fluctuated a lot.

Even now he's got the republicans at a 1 in 3 chance of holding the house. 1 in 3 events (where the odds are 2:1 against) happen all the time. He's not making predictions, he's doing a running assessment of probability, based on polls that are far from perfect, and at this point on exit polls and partial data as it comes in.


Correction, 2 in 9 now. Dropping fast.

1 in 10 now.

MY prediction of 39 seat gain for democrats could still be on the money !! Woohooo !!

After 7PM EST, any changing of the predictive model is BS.

The point is to predict the result in advance, not to adjust during the vote count. Anybody can do that!
21   Goran_K   2018 Nov 6, 7:11pm  

Looks like Scott is going to defeat Democrat incumbent Nelson.

I see it as a pretty similar process. IT's just that the data from polls (not done by 538), is of lower quality. Desgning sampling methodology so that it represents what happens later in the election is what the polling is all about. 538 doesn't do that. They just analyze the somewhat garbage data coming from the pollsters.

Anybody can do that too. It's just that it seems like nobody does it better than 538.

Petey Sessions

I think he will lose, and since election will be very close, he might have been sunk by a small number of people voting against his MJ stance

You should make a better predictive model, if you think you can do better. That’s what a Real American would do, instead of wasting so much time being triggered


Who is triggered? I’m loving that Nelson was unseated. He was a major fag.
26   Goran_K   2018 Nov 6, 7:19pm  

Looks like Taylor Swift had zero effect.

27   Goran_K   2018 Nov 6, 7:21pm  

Looks like socialism is out of style in Florida.

28   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Nov 6, 7:21pm  

GOP flips 3 Senate Seats so far: Florida, North Dakota, and Indiana.

Missouri and Arizona look great.

Sheesh, looks like my 2 Senate seat pickup claim was too conservative.

By the way, Dems, what happens after the House votes to begin Impeachment Proceedings?

I don't know. But I'm sure what ever they do they do won't be a fraction as embarrassing as the countless Benghazi investigations.

When republicans go low, they really go all the way low.
32   MisdemeanorRebel   2018 Nov 6, 7:27pm  

Is Romney Back? Can't we send that old suit to some really shady dry cleaners so it gets sold out the back?

More shitty news: Anti-American Islamist Ihan Omar won Minnesota CD5.

After the House votes to begin the Impeach process, the Senate (NOT the House) judges the President.

Right now it's looking like that will be a 5-person majority Republican Senate.

Which is why they will be protesting from their secret headquarters in Guam.

Romney will not matter with the majority we have.

Also, I know Pat.net folks are really fans, but I’m a huge supporter of Senator Cruz and super happy he beat Beto. After all the money the Dems poured into that race too. What an embarrassment.
37   Goran_K   2018 Nov 6, 7:35pm  

Beto - Cruz called.

Texas decided it was “Beto” off without him.

Beto looks like the creepy child molester usher at the children's mass I went to as a kid.
