Perdue is trampling on Ossoff, too.

What a horrible night.

 

God, please, PLEASE let AZ hold. Especially since PA is stopping counting, which is RIDICULOUS.

I think a lot of this is down to a certain need for narratives in the press and then seeping down into the public discourse. Tim Alberta spent an eternity tooting around the country writing verbose thinkpieces that ultimately said a lot of nothing and you could tell it was just pining for relevance. This is the same posturing that helped to blind people to so many bad trends in elections like 2000 and 2016. One of the things about Obama was how clear-eyed he was - he had no real sentimentality or blinders in terms of his campaigns and the people working for him didn't either. I wish he wasn't the exception in terms of Democratic nominees over the last few decades.

Cawthorn is a real [!@#$%^&*]. Among many, many other issues, his campaign people attacked his opponent for wanting to ruin white men. It's sad that this is what wins elections in 2020, and terrifying to wonder what the next extreme will be.

It's really close here in NC. At one point it looked like both Trump and Biden had almost the exact percentage. I do wonder which one win it. Our Democratic governor Roy Cooper was re-elected tonight. Maybe that will bode well for Biden.
