Would this be the first World Serie where each team lost all of it's homestand games?
To those worried about Congresswoman Katie Hill's district.
The registration in the district in 2016 was 34.7% repugh, 34.6% Dem, ~ 25% Indy, the rest other parties.
In 2016, a repugh defeated the Dem for an assembly seat by around 5%. In 2018, the Dem won a rematch by around 5%. The district has trended blue in registration, it used to be strong republican.
The Democratic Assemblywoman who won the seat is a woman named Christy Smith. She will be running to replace Congresswoman Hill. Smith so far is the only Dem in the race, there are 2-3 repughs in the jungle primary race. So there is a good chance that Smith moves on to a general, where her chances should be good. Smith was a school board member for 8 years before moving on to the California assembly, she is pretty well known in the district. I looked at her bio, she seems to be pretty solid, sort of a political mother type who got into politics because of kids.
Last night we had a scarily violent thunderstorm.
It was vicious, several huge lightning strikes low. Tonight thunder is starting up and getting louder.
Maybe my memory is failing, but I am surprised to see such a thing in what is now essentially November.
I looked at the forecast through the middle of November and several thunderstorms are forecast, along with lots of rain.
Did I miss something and violent lightning is not uncommon for this time of year in Florida?
The Yankees are leaving a lot of runners on base.
Houston is winning by the long all, against the team with the second highest number of regular season home runs in history (if I remember what I read about that). Just goes to show, in the postseason, good pitching beats good hitting.
Help Democratic Party House of Delegates candidates in the Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia.
The candidate that pundits believe has the best chance to win in Christian Worth, she lost a special election as an unknown, winning 40% in a district that Trump won 69% in and Gillepsie won 65% in. She believes that healthcare and economic development are foremost in voter's minds in her district. The ten democrats running in the region can use donations, they are pooling resources by doing things like sharing the same strategist. They can use a money boost in the homestretch. The NRA is heavily funding their republican opponents.
The other democrats running in that red region are:
Beverly Harrison
April Moore
Jennifer Woofer
David Zilles (running for an open seat)
Jennifer Kitchen (open seat, three way race)
Brent Finnegan
Elizabeth Alcorn
Tim Hickey
Virginia Smith
I know that many on DU have looked toward Virginia and have contributed, but helping the rural democrats may help one or two spring an upset.
Bend over Boris.
UK business construction contracted the fastest in 10 years per a report out yesterday. Brexit uncertainty is the culprit. UK Businesses can't do any long term planning.
