    Boebert probably still is odds on favorite to win. Both sides will cure as many ballots as they can. IIRC the margin is so small that the state will automatically perform a recount.

    If Boebert's campaign does not try to cure any ballots ...

    Of course not. Just Harris County where his gun toting GOP candidate acting like a typical MAGA radical lost out.

    Boebert is nothing but sn uneducated white trash b*tch. I'd like to see her ass locked up with Trump for her participation in the insurrection.

    Sorry, but you have to admit that's not a bad characterization.

    Hobbs is the Governor of Arizona.

    She didn't run a smart campaign but people were so against the election denier, she still won.

    Hobbs wasn't a good candidate but Lake was worse. If Lake didn't go after John McCain and his supporters that likely makes the difference.

    Didn't stop them from winning in Florida by a large margin. Not the reason for the bad results. I'd blame it on Trump.

    It would be interesting to see a statistical study done on this. Maybe comparing COVID deaths with voter registration before and after the COVID.

    Dems never had a chance in Florida - no close races - DeSantis and Rubio were super strong incumbents outside the hard right GOP base, and the effort by Dems in turnout and spending was low. Dem voter turnout was also really low. It's essentially been conceded as a red state now.

    I'm glad we agree that DeSantis is not "hard right", as some of the posters here want to make us believe.

    "Hard Right" is subjective. I would put DeSantis on the political spectrum as more to the Right. In some ways he's more Right than Trump. DeSantis though is far more capable and pragmatic than Trump. He's showed that with dealing with the Surfside Condo collapse and Hurricanes. His brand though is built on taking far Right stances on social issues.

    There is a chance though that long covid gave some previously clear thinking Ds brain fog which led them to relating more to the Rs.

    Just saying.
