25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

You're in a car accident. So you call all the ERs from the ambulance and see who's offering a special. Hell, maybe you can ask hospital B to beat hospital A's price. It'll be like car dealerships. "How much can you spend a month, Randi?" "What will it take to get you into this ER today?"

Dems have flipped 25 GOP elected positions in the past year. The GOP has flipped 0.
Not that I mind, of course. But the GOP needs to re evaluate themselves in a hurry or they are going to smoked on an epic scale in 11 months.

A lot of GOP whistling past the graveyard while Dems are flipping GOP seats coast to coast. Frankly, I’m OK with that.
But as a guy who did campaigns professionally for 15 years and remains, the arrogance of ignoring the obvious from MAGA land is really something to behold.

BREAKING: Democrats have *flipped* a seat in Georgia's state House tonight.
Democrat Eric Gisler has won the seat, which was previously held by a Republican who resigned this fall.
This is a red territory: Trump won the district by 13% in 2024.
