I would be shocked if she won. Kemp is not a bad guy. I think he did some questionable stuff in previous elections purging lists of people who didn't vote for give years but that's his worse crime I think.

But to watch is where and by how much.

He's also not older than dirt so there is that in his favor too.

Some day you will be older than dirt, if you are smart and lucky.

This is fantastic for Florida. I think it's time to start drinking!!!

I just had a couple of Prosecco toasts to DeSantis and Rubio. FOX News has called it!!!

He is leading by fifteen percentage points, and that is without the panhandle reporting.

Beasly seems to be kicking butt so far in NC might be a really close race.

Major Red Wave Here in Florida:

Ron DeSantis (R) wins re-election.

Marco Rubio (R) wins re-election.

Anna Paulina Luna (R) flips FL-13.

ADDITIONALLY:

It looks like Abigail Spanberger (D) is toast in Virginia, as well, although I haven't seen anyone actually call it yet.

I was specifically talking about how much he flipped blue districts. We all knew he would win...never a question in most of Florida. But the size of the win in some historically blue districts is significant.

I don't see the value with early returns this election, while so many Democrat cities will be counting and recounting mail-in ballots over night.

Maybe by 8 pm tommorow, we will have some indication of who is winning which race.

I am not trying to dampen the thread as just saying, I don't think we can count very much on who is ahead right now. We used to be able to pre-Covid mail-ins, but not any longer.
