What will be the Big surprise tonight?

[safeinOhio]

Which state will be the one that no one expected to go that way?

[FormerWIRepub]

1. Texas

I just have this weird hunch that Texas actually will go to Biden. It just seems the wind is really blowing that way.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. Hoping for TX...

[nevergiveup]

3. Senate seats

in Kansas and Montana.

[judeling]

21. Yep, and the margin in Missouri

[Wanderlust988]

4. Keep an eye out on South Carolina

Could be the surprise of the night.

[Laelth]

5. I will reach out and claim MT for Democrats.

Lots of people, including me, now think that TX will go blue, so that’s not exactly a gutsy call, but MT is, and that’s my hope, at the very least.

[LiberalLoner]

31. Me too!

[Dr. Jack]

6. Texas

Apparently Republican turnout there is very anemic and the state GOP is starting to freak the fuck out.

[pwb]

7. Trump loses and goes home early?

Yeah.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. Hoping for Texas, but will settle for Ohio.

Both would be nice wins!

[BainsBane]

12. I think Texas is more likely than Ohio

and Florida. The exceptionally high turnout must favor Biden.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

15. Hope you're correct!

More electoral votes that way.

I want both in Biden's column, of course!

[BainsBane]

17. I'd love him to sweep them all

but we shall have to wait and see.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

29. It gets unrealistic at some point, such as WV.

Ohio has polled closely, as has Texas. I think Biden/Harris could easily win them both!

I'll be celebrating too much tonight, most likely, but I plan to alert posts that declare closely contested states as "hopeless" for Dems in the future. It gets ridiculous. I even let a reply slide in the past after a poster wrote that they wanted a Biden win nationally, but a loss in Ohio! WTF?!

Best wishes to you and all Democrats!

[BainsBane]

30. Same to you!

[TruckFump]

9. Texas. EOM

[moof]

10. the size of the win

if Charlie Cook on Lawrence O’Donnell is close, Joe is going to be able to claim a mandate from the people.

[TlalocW]

11. I'd love for it to be Kansas, but that would literally be coming out of nowhere

I think Bollier is beating Marshall for the senate seat, and it would be nice if that affected the rest of the ticket. I live here, and it would be something else to hopefully rub my family's collective nose in.

13. TEXAS would be awesome!

The icing on the cake.

(Sometimes it sucks to be an atheist. Nothing/no one to pray to when you really, really want something to happen.)

[obamanut2012]

14. Cunningham and Harrison

And the trifecta of FL/GA/NC.

[Demguy81]

16. Texas or GA

Hoping for both. Winning by a small margin isn't enough. We need a landslide and a wipeout to cosign Trumpism to the dustbin of history.

[SKKY]

18. Texas would be absolutely amazing...

...But I would take FL and GA.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

19. Trump concedes at 9:46 pm est

My surprise

[splat]

20. Amy McGrath sends Turtle McConnell to the deeps

Secret ballot brings out the fed-up women's vote.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

25. I hope so.

[safeinOhio]

26. The Turtle and Lady G. would

be sweet.

[MizLibby]

33. I'm with you!

[DIVINEprividence]

22. Texas

We are going to win Texas

[MineralMan]

23. Senate seats.

I think we'll have them.

[cwydro]

37. Oh yeah?

[cwydro]

38. Well, this didn't age well.

A shame.

[MineralMan]

39. Yes. I'm very sad about thatm

Thanks for noticing...twice. So nice of you.

[cwydro]

41. Sorry, but I dislike rah-rah posts prior to the election. And it annoys me to be called "concerned"

when I have good goddamn reasons to be so. I've seen good DUers slammed for worry and anxiety.

I think the predictions that are nonsensical tend to hurt people more than they help. And those of you who indulge in this misleading exercise try to lord it over others, speaking superciliously to those of us who worry. "Oh, don't worry, relax." Or calling people trolls for their concern.

Sorry, I ignored it last time, but I'm done with those of you who think you're smarter than everyone else. And then EVERY FUCKING TIME, you are WRONG. So toodeloo to you, bud. You have been wrong again.

There's some very upset people here now, and that's because they chose to believe in DU "prophets" who are wrong more often than not.

I never believe in the crap that's posted here about landslides, routs, humiliations, other shoes dropping, and so on...but I think many do.

The DU prognosticators would do less harm if they kept it to themselves. I bookmarked all those threads in 2016, and just went back and looked at them. Amazing. Most of the same prophets spouting what turns out to be not true.

Hope you guys aren't betting on your predictions. Something is telling me you're not.

[MineralMan]

42. Do you feel better now?

If so, good. Things are looking up.

[cwydro]

43. Nope.

Not a bit.

Thanks though.

[tnlurker]

24. Tennessee

Hey...I have dreams also.

It could happen.

[Laelth]

27. LOL. Now, that would be truly shocking.

But I’d be thrilled.



-Laelth

[rownesheck]

28. Biden wins every state

except Alabama, Mississippi and West Virginia. Now that would be a surprise.

[cwydro]

34. And not happening.

Senate not looking so great either.

[maryellen99]

32. Size of the win

Charlie Pierce said on Stephanie Miller said this may finally be Democrats revenge for the 1980 election.

My other surprise would be trump conceding and walking away.

[cwydro]

35. Oh well.

[sunonmars]

36. I would actually laugh if we didn't need PA after all.

I'm still a little nervous about Nevada

[EarthFirst]

40. Personally I feel they aren't confident in Pennsylvania...

I’m seeing they’re abandoning a recount in Wisconsin.
