@CriticalThotPhD and everyone else has been enjoying #SquidGames. I am a huge fan of Korean thriller cinema (not so much the television dramas but I think that's about to change.) So here's a primer on some essential viewing if you're Korean curious:
Five GOP incumbents have already retired, with the possibility of three more to follow. One of the incumbents running for re-election doesn't want to run any more.
Meanwhile, Dems only have one incumbent to worry about. So where are all the Republicans in Retreat articles?
This is a crippling political asymmetry that is further borne out by failures of the @NRSC to recruit top tier candidates for races in NH, NV, AZ, and GA.
National Democrats would be foolish to read much into the:
(1) GA Senate runoff; (2) WI Superintendent special; (3) OC Supervisor District 2 special (4) NM-1 Special; (5) NH House District 7 Hillsborough special (6) CA gubernatorial recall

I used to drag people a lot more when it was still primary season.
Last night was the most comprehensive dragging I've done of the punditry in a long time. Glad you all enjoyed it, and I hope it gives you a sense of how little I think of political journalists.
One thing you should know is that I am very stubborn and opinionated. Some call it conviction. For example, at no point did I waver from my position that Gavin would win by double digits.
This puts me in conflict with people who want to Doomtweet every time anything happens.
On behalf of all California Democrats who have been trying to keep everyone calm about the Recall Election aka waste of taxpayer money, consider this my "Cleaning out Bookmarks" thread of pettiness:
#NoOnRecall won by double digits this evening because California Democrats ignored this "advice" offered by a gambling and probability election pundit who is based out of NYC.
Listening to Blue Checks can be hazardous to your election prospects.
Turnout in the early voting period of this election exceeded all turnout in the 2014 midterms, and hit the 40% benchmark before election day. We are on pace to shatter all turnout records in an off-off year election in the middle of September.
