Members janea4old Posted November 9, 2022 Members Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) The Associated Press hasn't called the Oregon governor yet. Nor has ABC news. Oregon allows mailed ballots to be postmarked by election day, and will accept correctly postmarked ones for several more days. The Oregonian newspaper is now calling or projecting it for Tina Kotek. The majority of uncounted votes are in the Portland region, so likely blue. If Kotek wins, this would mean two lesbian governors elected (Massachusetts and Oregon).

Members AdelaideCate007 Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) I don't know if any of the other Aussies here check in on this thread, but I took a look at Sky News to see how they were handling the results and Rita Panahi is despondent and in shambles. It's glorious! Edited November 10, 2022 by AdelaideCate007 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 Indeed! I usually avoid Sky News of course but I just had to take a look at how they were handling the news. They had even sent Rita and Laura Jayes over to cover the news in person. Another fail from Murdoch and his media. Hate to see it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AdelaideCate007 Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 I don't know this works out numbers wise but people on my timeline are saying that this is basically saying the Dem in Nevada is going to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 As I mentioned before, I spent weeks off and on doing deep canvassing over the phone. The local NARAL group I was working with were targeting independents and GOP suburban women. The calls focused on abortion rights. This is why I was skeptical of the polls. Close to 80% of those women supported abortion rights. I know it's hard to believe that women especially those groups would vote based on that, but most of the women said it was number one on their list as an issue. It doesn't mean other things don't matter. We have to stop listening to a media and press that pushes narratives that treat people as stupid and everyone as only caring about 1 issue. When I type that point out it sounds even more ridiculous. And the media and press will always find people to confirm their own biased narratives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
