It might well be one. My subjective sense of polls showing big underdogs being surprisingly competitive is that they are mostly fools' gold. Whether it was Jamie Harrison in SC, or the guy running for Senate in NE (Osborn?), or the Selzer fiasco in Iowa . . . none of those outcomes were even close and I have a sense that there are many more like it. Texas is another example.This was expected to be an easy GOP win (to replace Waltz).
Eh, there are increases across the board. Milwaukee is up 46% in early ballots compared to two years ago. WOW counties are up like 50% or 60% from two years ago. But the Dem won by 10 points in 2023. So the Pubs have a lot of catching up to do with respect to 2023. It's going to take more than modestly higher increases in voting in a few Pub counties. Dane County is also way up in early ballots.I felt pretty good about this race until I started seeing the eye-popping numbers of the increases in Republican counties in Wisconsin. That's not a good sign, I would think, unless a good number of these Republicans are mad about all the chaos in DC and job cuts and trade wars and so on. And somehow I doubt that's the case.
and given the economic news of the week: rising inflation, more tariffs, tanking stock market - I expect the FL6 race to become even tighter.This was expected to be an easy GOP win (to replace Waltz).
