Quinn Hughes and the Wild knock out Dallas and move on to a clash with Colorado 3 goals on 6 shots past Ingram, Ducks lead Edmonton 3-1 late in the 1st

Translation: None of them actually want to play there. But they are happy to use Chicago to drive up their contract price.

Where is the demand for Duke vs. Gonzaga in Downtown Detroit. Who’s going to go to that. Seems like a terrible idea.

I do think Dems will take the senate but it's impossible without Maine. I think people are sleeping on Ohio, but in this environment with Sherrod Brown running, I think they flip it. North Carolina seems easier than Maine. Cooper is very strong going against a non incumbent nutcase. Alaska is another sleeper along with Iowa and I think Talarico has a shot in Texas. Collins is tough. They will have more oppo on Platner. There will also be another vote where Collins vote is meaningless and she can vote against the party like in 2020 when she voted against Amy Coney Barrett.

If this were 2022, I'd agree with you... but I don't know this time around. This is a terrible, anti-incumbent environment for Rs, Collins herself isn't really well liked by her constituents anymore and is also getting up there in age, and people are angry and upset with the direction of the country. Keep harping on the environment because Platner would not be the first terrible candidate to win an election in a favorable cycle for their party.

1 2 3 4 5 6ers.

Duke just signed a deal with Amazon Prime Video. They will broadcast three of Duke's non-conference games this coming year. UConn in DC Michigan at the Garden Gonzaga at LCA Michigan in NYC and Gonzaga in Detroit is odd, but whatever.

I can't believe the Celtics are going to 7 games.

It’s almost as if a robot that doesn’t give a damn about the excitement of divisional races created the schedule. Almost…

9 of the Tigers last 24 games - all in September - are against National League opponents

I don't think she's assured victory, but I think it's 50/50 and it's leaning Collins. I also don't think we've seen all of Platner's warts. I think there is a lot more to come. Voters may simply sit it out or view Collins as the lesser of two evils.

I don't think she's going down easy, but the conventional wisdom among some is that she's now assured victory. And she very much isn't. This isn't 2020 anymore. Despite COVID, which wasn't great for Trump obviously, this is an *even worse* environment, complete with insanely high gas prices and a wildly unpopular war. Collins is much more unpopular than she was in 2020. Partisanship is much more hardened than in 2020. And Donald Trump, the great driver of turnout that he is, will not be on the ballot. Collins pulled the rabbit out of the hat, but even with Platner's problems, she's never faced a tougher cycle than this one.

Democrats now have to explain why they support the guy with the Nazi tattoos, who blamed rape victims for their rape, and used anti gay slurs. Everything Democrats rightfully attack Republicans for, but he's young and has a beaver's ass on his face and wears flannel.

Sadly - if she doesn't that means we've all been whistling past the graveyard thinking that America is finally falling out of love with Trump.

I mean, Bernie Sanders is a force and supports Platner. Sanders also supported Fetterman and Gabbard. Biden wasn't addicted to corporate money. That was his problem. Corporate money turned against him and the party kicked him out.

that would be the modern narrative.

I don't think Collins is going down easy. She looked dead in the water going against a young well funded Dem. She was down in the polls and pulled out a safe win in an election Biden won by double digits. Maine works a little differently. We also haven't even heard everything on Platner. The Republicans have oppo on him and I would not be surprised if there are women who come forward who say he sexually assaulted them.

I can only hope Trump/Biden was the last gasp of their generation. For me, the number one sign of the intellectual and political bankruptcy of the old guard democratic party is that they are so addicted to the corporate money trough themselves that they never even tried to mount an organized constitutional amendment effort against CU which was the single most important thing any honest political party should have been doing. I'm just as happy to see all these corporate whores go away. I loved Joe Biden but he made the worst mistake of a lot of people's lives by overestimating himself.

She also didn't seem to want to put in the work of running... voters can sense that from a mile away. There's good reason to have mistrust of Graham Platner, just feel that it's not surprising that he won and, if the environment stays the way it is, nobody should be surprised to see him beat Collins.

Tell me one thing Platner is proposing that is a new idea?

And that is by electing senators like Fetterman who are fixtures on Fox News? The public is stupid and things Democrats have some sort of magic they could be doing to stop Trump as the minority party. The Dems did beat Trump and got the most votes ever but they never supported their candidate and pissed all over themselves and threw him under the bus.

The public at large hates the Democratic Party only slightly less than it now hates the GOP. If the Dems are ever going to become a real force for social change in the US again, win big enough majorities to actual govern, the party is going to get rebuilt by a new leadership with a new set of ideas and a different appeal than the party that couldn't beat Trump twice.

Schumer has gotten a lot of good candidates to run. Mills was the best candidate for Maine.

Don't disagree. But that just demonstrates how much Schumer's org is out of gas itself.
