Just to highlight the confession from upthread:

Meanwhile:

I mean, it would be funny. Because they'd be completely non-functional in the House fighting amongst themselves, as they probably will be anyway. If a small GOP majority could get it together in the House then I'd be more upset. But yes, I have plenty of issues with Hayes following the pack on certain things, being it from one extreme side of the Beltway or another extreme side of the left.

We'll see about Trafalgar. As for Boebert, if she doesn't lose today she will soon. She's weak and this proves it.

It's gonna be very tight on Boebert/Frisch no matter what - something like 790 votes separate them atm. Regardless, we've had a very good midterm and if we almost take it from her that's enough for me given the rest.

Meanwhile:

Nate Cohn (who can be very good at his job when he sticks to polling data and doesn't try to peer into the quasi-pundit Silver zone) is facing a dark night of the soul this week post-midterms:

Ralston is a very reliable source, the very best source on Nevada. I think she'll most likely take it, though he as usual offers caveats because he's a careful guy.

I'd like to reiterate that all those recent "Kevin McCarthy, society man of Washington" fawning puff pieces from DC outlets eager to curry his favor and sourcing in the new House are going to be so much worthless tin when he can't handle his caucus and soon, gets his throat cut by the mutinous GOP in favor of someone else (which is already being reported). Some of us were hoping for this moment if we somehow kept the House, but however we get there it's still good.

Shocking honesty from Fox:
