3. And don't forget that mail-in ballots from hugely Democratic counties are yet to be counted

So it's still possible for Ossoff to unseat Purdue.

10. Probably not enough to avoid a run-off.

Rev. Warnock needs 50% of the overall vote. Which he might have gotten had the half dozen other Democrats in the race siphoned off. He has something like 32%, and it's unlikely he will make that up with the remaining votes.

Why the other Dems didn't drop out, I'll never understand it--except for Lieberman, who is just as awful as his piece of shit father, Joe.

45)OR(Merkley-D)
46)RI(Reed-D)

Democrats have a 50 percent chance of winning.
48)MI(Peters-D)
49)NC(Cunningham-D)
50)ME(Gideon-D) and/or GA regular(Ossoff-D)


I'm not sure what the "Democrats have a 50 percent chance of winning" means. Each one of these races is a 50-50 shot? Or winning all 3 is a 50-50 shot? I doubt both of these.

I notice the other GA race isn't on the list.

15. Is there even a ghost of a chance at this point?

Its so frustrating that almost nothing changed in that venue, Biden will be saddled with the gang of roadblocks if he win and God forbid he doesn't they'll be there to insulate an orders of magnitude more empowered.

And worst of all, we'll have to put up with McConnell's smug gloating smirk of a smile even more.
