There real question is what is everyone drinking tonight?  No matter who you want to win you have a reason to drink (disappointment, celebration or just calm you nerves).  Think I am going to have some Blantons.

I have some Dewars and a bottle of Champagne Chilling. Probably won't need it tonight. 

 
Maybe it’s just been me avoiding politics for the most part, but I’m a little surprised at how little the fact that it’s almost a foregone conclusion that the Democrats are going to control both houses of Congress has been talked about. It seems like almost everything has focused on the Presidency.

I think 50/50 in the Senate has a reasonable chance of happening

I had a buddy in college who didn't follow football at all, until he learned that the big Oregon rivalry was between the Beavers and the Ducks.   From that moment on he was all in on the Oregon Civil War.   Still didn't follow anything else though.

 
So here it seems to me are the key facts that should, hopefully, give Biden a win in Florida: 

1. In 2016, Trump beat Hillary in Florida by 1%. 
2. Senior citizens made up 21% of the vote. 
3. Senior citizens favored Trump over Hillary by 17 points. 
4. Senior citizens favor Trump over Biden by 9 points. 
 

That 8 point difference is everything; it’s the reason polls have Biden consistently ahead by 3-4 points in Florida. Trump supporters have acknowledged this but they’re arguing that it will be countered by increased support from Latino men in the big cities, cutting into Trump’s support. 
 

We’ll see. My prediction is Texas is a mirage, Georgia is a mirage, North Carolina too close to call, but Florida and Arizona are victories for Biden and it will be an early night.

I can respect that.  Ask him if ever wants tickets to that one at Autzen, I can hook him up.  I almost never go....too cold!

I like this logic. It looks like the Hispanic vote is about 17% this year, so the change in the older voting block, if it’s correct, could very well offset Biden’s comparative weakness among the Hispanic block compared to 2016.

So, is this the thread to hang out in tonight?

I already got a pic from a friend of a CNN exit poll asking about the handling of COVID--51% said it was bad and 48% said it was good.  My friend assumed this definitively meant a Biden victory.  Some people want it too badly.

Here's the poll.

48% of people think it’s been good?  That seems like good news for Trump, IMO.

ETA - all the exit polling is skewed heavily towards R’s though so now that I think about it maybe your friend is right - although I know many people who think it was bad and still plan to vote for him.

Look we are talking about cocktails in here.  Not sure where this election analysis is coming from.  What we really need to know is what are you pouring yourself tonight!

Either that account is full of doodoo or there are going to be some very shocked people tonight. I still don't know what to believe. That account is showing Clark County Nevada as having a Republican lead. Nevada is one of those states where geographically its all red and then one area, in this case Clark County (Las Vegas) is overwhelmingly blue and it's enough to carry the state. Las Vegas voting red would be jaw dropping.

 
Why do the Democrats keep elevating Pelosi? Her political instincts seem terrible. Coming out on Election Day and saying that Barrett is illegitimate seems dumb. Dirty politics, hypocritical, etc yes. Illegitimate? Not sure what the point of calling her that is as they certainly won’t have any way to remove her and with Republicans being more likely to vote in person it just seems like making a statement like that today only serves to boost Republican turnout potentially.

Because she’s the most effective Speaker in the history of Congress, and up to today, the most successful woman in the history of American politics.
