If Lindsay Graham is on the fence, then you're really in trouble.

Apparently someone called Dr Aditi on Twitter and is based off 2016. Not sure how reliable it is.
Apparently it's based on polls from 538 (for the election in 2016 not the current one).

Thanks.

Looks like there's a more recent one based on the 2018 midterms.

Normally I would tell someone to go get fecked, but when it comes to Lindsey Graham he might like that. So let me clarify. Lindsey Graham, get fecked by an elephant.
I was trying to land on who is more odious: McConnell or Graham. I landed on Graham.

I think McConnell is just about the worst possible, but Graham sucking up to Trump as soon as McCain died was quite something.

I think it comes down to the 2 GA seats in the Jan runoff. I am assuming one party is taking both as I doubt there will be much in the way of a split ballot. Gonna be an insane election. So much money. I wish I could invest in Atl TV stations!
As a Georgian , how do you think that race will go?

Rick is a giant turd. I remember yesterday :

Rick -"there was no pressure on the vote count, trump supporters were just peaceful"
- "Then why were they armed"?
Rick - "It's their right"

:lol:

Not a Georgian (as mentioned above I was a neighbor for 20 years when in Birmingham). It's going to be so close. I am wondering if Trump's loss will cause a drop on Republican energy and turnout. If so I think both go to Dems. I can't see any future where Trump campaigns for them. He is NOT a team player.

McConnell's court packing will have ramifications for decades unless the Dems can take the Senate and somehow invalidate those appointments, which should be since Turtle blocked Obama's right to appoint.
Fair. I guess McConnell is more reprehensible politically. Alright... I detest both equally :)

I suspect that Trump may not turn up for Biden's inauguration, and he will make sure that the handover will be as difficult as possible.
He may yank off the toilet paper holder in the bathroom and when Biden poops, he will realize that he has no toilet paper.
The beautiful drapes in the oval office that his sycophants were going on about should suffice.

VIOLENTLY attacking the senate by SMASHING those AGGRESSIVE ballots into ballot boxes. THIS IS WAR!

Absolutely. Campaigns have internal polling and demographics that could address it, but I have a feeling they are not going to share.
Which goes back to the question of how reliable those are, given that there have been discrepancies between polls and the elections twice now in presidential elections. Not that I really doubt the graphs btw, they seem intuitively correct; I am just being a data nerd here. :wenger:

@oates Plastic face man with white hair is bad on CNN with the same four people as two days ago, and I'm sitting in the same chair as last time drinking the same kind of iced coffee. I'm worried that I might be stuck in a simulation and, in reality, Trump has won and declared himself King.

I am correct?
At this early stage of the count I'm calling it for Biden. You heard it here first! I don't mind putting my neck on the line.

Concerned your Iced Coffee has been contaminated with bad fungi spores. Take Iced Tea, the only known guaranteed cure - plus bleach. Don't take the bleach.

Pull yourself together man pigeon boy.

There's a difference between the Nate Silvers of the world and local campaigns.
