10/20 Down Ballot News Roundup and Open Thread
Let’s check on our list of progressives and see how things are going for them, starting with Paula Jean Swearengin. The link in the tweet leads you to video clips from In West Virginia Politics.
Shelley Moore Capito refuses to debate @paulajean2020, so this is about as close as the public will get to one.
We're down to the last two weeks of the campaign. Please volunteer to help put Paula Jean Swearengin in the Senate: https://t.co/SmphqFSY61https://t.co/ErIBCS3Rd3

It's time that the everyday folks of this state have a say in our economy and opportunities. By electing a real, working-class West Virginian who takes NO corporate money to the US Senate, we are #InvestingInOurselves. It's time we take back our power.#UniteOurFight pic.twitter.com/5lWd5wqU5V

More news, tweets, video, and good jibber-jabber in the comments. Sure Happy It’s Tuesday.
Mike Siegel has a new ad:
Debate between Ammar Campa-Najjar and Daryl Issa:
https://www.nbcsandiego.com/videos/nbc-7s-2020-50th-congressional-district-debate-part-1/2425409/
Last poll was over a month ago, and it was almost a tie (+1 for Issa).
I don’t think Campa-Najjar Is worth it. He seems to have tacked very right since last election

Still better him than Issa.
Disagree. They are even in BS.
He’s not. I feel for the voters in that district. What a yahoo!🤬🤬
I think he will not be like Tulsi.
Beth Doglio:
Julie Oliver:
Bernie also did a video for Oliver on FB yesterday:

so Cal Cunningham and Jaime Harrison need to bring it home. Still surprised Bullock is the underdog.
There are several Senate seats that could switch: Maine, Iowa, Alaska, Arizona, So. and No. Carolina, WVA, CO. That could already be happening with these initial heavy turnouts. That will blunt the destructive actions of asshole Beijing Mitch. Unfortunately, he will be re-elected.🤮🤮🤮🤮
I’ll say it again: McTurtle would be losing if Charles Booker had been the Dem nominee. Booker would be all over him about the stimulus.
Marquita and Paula Jean are longshots but worth supporting
It’s better to run someone, than no one at all. Paula Jean would have been better served to run for a district rather than senate. But I admire Paula Jean for keeping the fight going.
Paula Jean already has name recognition in her earlier quest against Manchin. She has a very good chance against Caputo.
and just think, if TOP had not ruined a centrist’s chances at mayor in Omaha, we might be seeing a different scenario.
Obviously, in NY, Biden support is a plus. This is a Syracuse area district currently held by Republican Katko. Balter has not come out for M4A but emphasizes how Medicare is a great system and all who want it should be able to get it (public option). Obviously, a big upgrade over the Republican.

Look at the high number of Indies. Not good news for the fascists and their fruitcake religious allies.
🤣🤣🤣

I would not be surprised if Luntz has contributed money to Lincoln Project, but in stealth.
I know most in most Democratic Party circles (ie TOP and a few other places) despise Luntz, but he really does know about messaging. I’ve seen some YT’s of presentations to city mayors/managers, and often, he focuses on what’s coming up in the next 3-5 years. He’s well aware that the young voters are more progressive than most, and people have to reach out to them. Trump is not doing that. Neither is Biden, but Biden will learn the hard way if he loses.
Frank Luntz can take his phony shit and shove it. He’s no more changed his stripes than Karl Rove.
Luntz isn’t quite Karl Rove these days.

They had health professionals from WI on Rachel Maddow’s show last night. They said they feel left behind in this new wave of COVID.
Not surprised about that, Every time Evers tries to do something Vos and Fitzgerald run to the WSSC, from a legislative standpoint those two have done jack shit on the virus other than get Evers over ruled. Now a bunch of R idiots claim to have enough signatures to recall Evers. Were right behind Orl’s state in the asinine batshit crazy dept..
One doctor said some college kids were in the hospital, days after visiting Grandma in a nursing home. He said he wishes he could visit his mom, who is afflicted with it but she’s in another town, and the workload is too heavy at present.
Whose fault is that? These red idiot states have plenty of access to competent CV info. They choose to ignore it. Example: Sturgis Biker Rally. Talk about a major CV disease event!

1.5 Million New Yorkers Can’t Afford Food. Pantries Are Their Lifeline.
Screw him.
I’m quite a few digits off 🙂
99% of us are many digits off. It doesn’t have to be that way. How many helicopters and yachts do people need anyway?
Exactly a total waste of natural resources that are finite in nature
Guess where every one of those worthless SOBs live? USA! USA!
