18. All cable news networks want a horse race

because no one times in for a blowout.

Wasserman's a good analyst, but shifting races from solid to lean doesn't mean the candidate ahead won't stay ahead.

Further, Wasserman's has PA-7, 8 and 17 as toss ups, yet the last poll on 8 had Cartwright at 50%, PA 7 Wild is in the increasingly Dem LV and PA 17 is my district. Schaffer the R candidate already lost his race for state Senate in 2018 in a district that is completely contained within PA-17. The district lost a solid R component of its previous iteration and gained area in Allegheny Co.

Yet there is no mention of PA-10 where the current incumbent is Scott Perry, a J6th conspirator who has not won his elections by large margins.
