5. Cox (D) is behind by 447 votes, but it may very well flip with tonight's update

My Magic 8-Ball says, when the smoke clears, there will be 100 votes separating the two, but it won't commit to the winner - Cannot predict now.

TJ Cox
(Party Preference: DEM)
54,266
49.8%

David G. Valadao
(Party Preference: REP)
54,713
50.2%

6. I agree that it will probably be razor thin. It would be great to run up the score to 40 seats.

But 39 is still pretty impressive.

7. With all the Fresno-vote outstanding, TJ's got this.

Republicans hate Fresno. "It doesn't look like America," one told me a few years back.

That said, I would've rather seen Nunes go down in defeat rather than Valadao.

Valadao's a garden variety seat-warming GOP non-entity; Nunes, on other hand, is fit for Ft. Leavenworth.

8. My Magic 8-Ball says Nunes is in for a world of hurt when the new congress convenes and he...

becomes the target of an investigation. Can you say, "Obstruction of justice"?

My Magic 8-Ball is also suggesting there is a possibility of a special election for CA-22 in the future, but I should, "Ask again later".

9. Here's to that Magic 8-ball of yours!

I once had a Ouija board that was simply amazing.

Of course, I lost it during a move years ago. I went to the toy store to get a new one; but it was nothing like the one I lost.

Oh, well.

10. will Nunes be swept up with the rest of tRump garbage?

God willing.

[sandensea]

11. Hear, hear.

My guess is that the minute he starts feeling cornered by Mueller and/or the upcoming House investigations, he'll be the first to throw the Rotten Orange and his co-conspirators under the bus.

I'd avoid fifth-floor windows if I were he.

12. Cox is now up by 438 votes.

4. All the House seats Democrats have flipped in the 2018 elections

Every House seat Democrats have flipped in the midterm elections, in one post.

<snip>

"Democrats have won the 23 House seats they needed for a House majority — and then some, as they continue to score victories in districts represented by Republican members of Congress. Even a week after Election Day, Democrats are still racking up wins as votes get counted and close races are called.

The House battlefield was huge: Election forecasters considered more than 100 House elections to be competitive in the 2018 midterms, the vast majority of them held by the GOP. Democrats were buoyed by the backlash to President Donald Trump and a campaign focused on protecting Obamacare’s protections for people with preexisting conditions after the Republican effort to repeal the law last year.

Once the results began rolling in, it was clear Democrats were quickly winning Republican-held House seats. So far, Democrats have won 41 GOP-held seats for a net gain of 39 seats, more than the 23 they needed to take control of Congress. Democrats have lost two seats they previously held — one in Minnesota and one in Pennsylvania — but they still cruised to a new House majority. They could end up picking up 40 seats when it’s all said and done, with a few races yet to be called."
