Polls were way off. It didn't take into account ROE THE VOTE

Abortion and democracy were the winners of the night.

If Republicans can't win in this environment, it's going to only get worse for them in 2024.

... big time.

pulled their BS this year. Stupid, stupid stupid. The GQP caught the car and didn't know what to do next. When I went to the Pro Choice rallies this year I told everyone that this would turn around and bite the GQP on their flabby, white old man asses. This is why I said to ignore the polls for months. My gut/instinct knew better than any poll paid for by the big $$$ pollsters.

Not that he actually meant to...

I looked at the same polls as everyone else, and my prediction is landing more or less as expected.

I know people are going to cherry pick this or that race as their proof that they were off, but the polls said things would be close.

Things ended up being close.

There was no secret Dobbs wave. It was baked into current polling. The was no Red Wave (and I seriously never saw a justification for anyone to claim one).

My two biggest surprises tonight: Florida being way more Republican than projected and Arizona (so far) seemingly significantly bluer.

(My final prediction was Republican House at 218-225, Democratic Senate at 50-51 with 52 maybe best case. I figured Fetterman and Kelly wins, Georgia run off, no idea about Nevada - been vacillating on that one since I started reading Ralston).

It's kind of going the way I figured it would. And I was definitely in the minority of people here who weren't screaming at the polls all day every day. The numbers were right there, and I've had this sense for a few weeks now.
