The awesome Amy McGrath way up in KY, surprising some.

 

Gillum up 52-47 with 47% in.

 

Jennifer Wexton beat Barbara Comstock in VA - my 75-yo mom was out in the rain canvassing for her and others nonstop.

This one's for @DRW50 - 

 

 

In the saddest #ElectionNight news dump, ABC has pulled #TheAlecBaldwinShow from the Sunday lineup. The remaining four episodes will air on Saturdays, starting on Dec. 8.

Dems are at 95% chance for the House.

We (okay, I) posted it earlier.

 

If McGrath really takes this... well, I'm not gonna say shít because I learned my lesson

Do it, Amy McGrath!! She's up in KY. I loved her first campaign ad long ago. Lady fighter pilot and a Dem.

There were 17,000 voters who cast ballots in the first hour today in Clark County. If that is the average all day, that's just over 200,000 in Clark County, or just under 20 percent. That would bring the total to 625,000, or 62 percent. That would be 20 points higher than 2014.

1st a correction. I just realized that I typed 7th versus 4th district, which is where I am. Used to live in 7th.

There were 24 machines present. This was also the case at at least 2 other precincts close by (machines not working)...

So then someone went to a Lawrenceville to get new cards for the machines. This was another 45 minutes ...

At about 11:20 voters were able to start casting their ballots. 4 hours after the polls opened and after 100s of ppl left.

Was it necessary to kill Carl off if this was in mind? Why not let them both get the Hope Brady Cruise of Deception exit? Still, I'm stunned and a little impressed. Won't be watching any of this for years, though.

HUGE NEWS! Andrew Lincoln to return as Rick Grimes for series of #TheWalkingDead movies. Get the full scoop from EP @ScottMGimple right here! https://t.co/yvVJR0hdHb

— Dalton Ross (@DaltonRoss) November 5, 2018

Quote

 

As for the movies, they will follow what happens to Rick after his experience in Sunday's "What Comes After" episode. That saw foe-turned-friend Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) rescue a near-death Rick and accompany him on a helicopter to an unseen new community while his friends and family believe the former sheriff is dead. Gimple confirmed Lincoln will indeed be in all three AMC movies, which he says will explore the period between Rick's helicopter rescue and the years-later time jump that was featured at the end of Sunday's episode — and stretch beyond that period. Each movie will tell a complete story about Rick. "It is about who he is and who he's going to be — and certainly how he deals with the situation he's in," Gimple says. "We know Rick Grimes, he would want to be home."

 

Other characters from the franchise — like Rick's romantic partner Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) — appearing in the movies (or elsewhere) is also a definite possibility. (Madden notes he has "high hopes" that Rick and Michonne's paths will cross again, despite the fact that Lincoln has filmed his last episode of the flagship series.) The first pic will be told from Rick's point of view and explore what Gimple called the "vast mythology" behind the other mysterious community looking for "A or B"-type people. "That serves the overall story to this next story we have for Rick," Gimple says.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish they'd just wrap the whole series up with one of these movies and a presumed reunion, but whatever, money's to be made.

And on average in our polls currently in the field, Dems are running an average of 3 points ahead of their performance in our initial poll
