| Lefty Washington State Is Now 'Ground Zero for Wave Election Upset' in Senate Race |
| 2022-10-31 |
| [PJMedia] Things are getting more interesting in the U.S. Senate race between that barnacle-encrusted boat anchor, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), and veterans’ activist and nurse Tiffany Smiley, the Republican. RealClearPolitics has moved the race from “leans Democrat” to “toss-up.” One poll predicts that “right now, the Washington Senate race has become ground zero for a wave election upset.” We’ll see. That requires voters to actually turn in their ballots in this mail-in ballot state. Smiley has been ascendant in recent weeks and has received key aid from Mitch McConnell and his Senate PAC money. She has acquitted herself well on the campaign trail and during debates. A recent poll put Murray up by eight points, but she’s lost that edge recently because of the horrible conditions on the ground in Washington: record gas prices with the intent to raise them even more because of the Democrats’ religious obsession with the weather. Truck drivers need diesel fuel to get goods to customers, and there’s a Democrat-policy-induced shortage. Food is more expensive. Everything is more expensive. Why is America funding both sides of the Ukraine-Russian war? Nobody knows but even Ukraine-flag virtue-signalers in Washington know this makes no sense. And RealClearPolitics has now listed the race as a toss-up and a statistical tie. After three decades of doing nothing in the Senate, Patty Murray may have to find a real job. The toss-up designation was prompted by a new Trafalgar poll showing that Murray’s support is at 49.4% with Smiley just a shade back at 48.2% with 2.4% of the voters still undecided. |

| #9 They have no bench. Obumbles didn't do the donks any favors. His pettiness and desire to be the spotlight sidelined the up and comers and kept the old guard in power. Now the old guard is the old old guard much like the Soviet leadership was at the end. If they don't get some real younger leaders in, they will be in a political wasteland for a decade. |

| #8 Democrats will use the red wave as a reason to get Joe out of power. The question is what to do with Kamala? They have no bench. Newsom is the best they've got and he's a turd most of his state doesn't like. |

| #7 Just me, but some of this 'red flip' is being overplayed by the Donks and their media running dogs so that some they know they'll hang on will give them enough to say to the donors "well, it could have been worse. you need to send more money" This. Campaigning is an industry, complete with sinecures. |

| #3 #2I'm just looking forward to the thousands of op-ed's saying that democracy is lost and America is now a fascist state. Nothing like a good laugh. Posted by: Matt 2022-10-31 12:51 ....I remember editorials after Ronald Reagan won that actually said the inaugural parade would be led by Brownshirts. It's the old joke - fascism is always descending on America, but always landing somewhere else. Mike |

| #1 I always get overly optimistic with the wave stuff. Trying to keep it tempered a bit. |
