Flotsam and Jetsam - Part I

Matt Margolis at PJM, Do You Want a Silver Lining After Tuesday’s Elections? Here It Is. It could have been worse? NRO's Chaz Cooke, In Virginia, a Loss, but Not a Catastrophe. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, There's One More Word for What Happened Yesterday ...  ‘extremism.’ Insty, WHY, INDEED? Why does the ‘party of abortion’ keep winning? "Pro-life Republicans will lick their wounds, blame each other, and point to uniquely unhelpful factors in each race. But the pattern is now so obvious as to be irrefutable. Since Dobbs, in elections where abortion is on the ballot, the party of abortion keeps winning." Abortion is not my link to the Republican party. You can adopt a more moderate view, and keep me. Kevin Downey at PJM says Never Mind the Economy — It's Abortion, Stupid.  Matt McDonald at Spec World, cited at Hat Hair, notes Normal Wins Elections. "To further reinforce that normal wins elections, consider two of the Democratic candidates who didn’t win their Virginia races. First, Jeremy Rodden, a big backer of Chesapeake’s “After School Satan Club,” which my colleague Amber Athey has written about extensively, and is hardly the most appealing way to advertise your atheism to voters. And second, Susanna Gibson, who narrowly lost in Goochland and is now free to set politics aside and return to the far more dignified professions of nursing and camgirling. Demonology and Chaturbate might be an outré way to spend a night on the internet — they aren’t what swing voters want on the ballot, yet."

I hear they held another losers bracket debate last night, but I've heard almost nothing about it, except Althouse "He was talking quickly and kind of oscillated in his words." "Said spokeswoman for Vivek Ramaswamy, who had said, in last night's debate, "Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy... It has celebrated a Nazi in its ranks. A comedian in cargo pants. The man called Zelensky. That is not democratic.” I think Vivek is out, he's just not "normal" enough. TNP sees the GUARDIAN claim Trump Would Win Election Today. But it's not today. Ed Ring at Am Great thinks Trump’s Popularity is Not Inexplicable. "It’s his apoplectic opposition." At Reason, Exit Poll: Most Voters Think Trump, Biden Should Not Run in 2024 "Why can neither major party find someone who isn't decrepit and disliked?". Think about this a minute; virtually all Democrats think Trump shouldn't run, virtually all Republicans think Biden shouldn't run. Throw in a few independents, and you get a majority for the proposition. It's easy math. At Da Caller, ‘Lost Any Control’: Glenn Greenwald Tells Tucker Why Dems Are ‘Completely Petrified’ Of Trump Victory In 2024

This makes Althouse happy, A new Marquette poll shows Nikki Haley would be the strongest Republican against Biden in Wisconsin. Newsweek, claims an Exclusive: Robert F. Kennedy Jr Says He Flew on Jeffrey Epstein's 'Lolita Express' but Capt. Ed, "Doesn’t sound like much of a scandal — if that’s all there is. The island trips started later, IIRC, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense that Epstein would have tried to get to RFK Jr for sex trafficking through his wife."

At OutKick, The Scumbag Lib Media Hates That Speaker Mike Johnson & His Son Are Using Anti-Porn Software. Capt. Ed comments "We have entered Bizarro World, but the reason behind it is clear. Johnson’s win in the House Speaker election took them by surprise — well, it took EVERYONE by surprise, but especially the liberal media. They needed arguments to paint Johnson as extreme, and this shows the desperation of that effort. It’s a very revealing story, but not about Johnson."

Newsweek again, Pennsylvania Voting Machines Changing Votes Sparks Outrage. To err is human, but computers help you make errors bigger and faster. Shawn Fleetwood at Da Fed sees the Biden DOJ Dispatches Feds To Polling Places To Interfere In An Election Near You.

At PJM, Athena Thorn calls it HISTORIC! House Committee Subpoenas President Biden's Brother, Son "New Rules alert! In a move that was once unthinkable but is now par for the course in the banana republic formerly known as the United States, the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden's immediate family members." and Stephen Kruiser  snarks  House Republicans Want to Chat With Some of the Biden Crime Family. From the Free Bacon, House Oversight Committee Subpoenas Hunter and James Biden

Breitbart, Reuters Poll: Joe Biden’s Popularity Tumbles to 39%, Lowest Since April. I&I, After These Disastrous Polls, We Hope To God Dems Stick With Biden. Even Politico, 6 warning signs for Biden in new battleground state poll. "The toplines are bad for Biden. What’s buried deeper in the poll might be worse." Atop Da Summit, a Video: Biden Forgets Obama’s Name AGAIN "‘Earpiece’ didn’t help." Past his "sell by" date, but to be fair, don't most of us want to forget Obama? At Da Fed, Sam Mangold-Lenett worries Biden’s AI Executive Order Accelerates Leftist Domination Of New Technology. That's what I said.
