Mod: Loonin' Boobert may have accomplished the near impossible by helping elect a Democratic Congressman from the far western slopes of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.Lauren Boebert 'dangerously close to being upset by a little-known Democratic rival' (Raw Story link): Pro-Trump Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) could soon lose her congressional seat, according to a new poll cited by Axios.
Axios writes that
Boebert, who is well known for making inflammatory statements, is "dangerously close to being upset by a little-known
Democratic rival," as a new poll from
Keating Research shows her leading
Democrat Adam Frisch by a mere two points. Although
Keating is a
Democratic pollster,
Axios notes that it has built a reputation as "one of the most accurate pollsters in
Colorado."
Even though 2022 is expected to be a good year electorally for
Republicans, the poll finds that
Boebert is heavily underwater among independent voters in her district, who are shifting toward
Frisch.
Boebert does have a major advantage, however:
Colorado's
3rd District is strongly
Republican, as
Cook Political rates it as an
R+7 district. Therefore,
Boebert could theoretically win her race even while losing independent voters as long as the
Republican base turns out for her.
Nonetheless, Keating told Axios this week that as long as Boebert remains under 50 percent in polls, "that means she is vulnerable to losing this race."
Republicans Say Herschel Walker Is Probably Done As Senate Campaign Implodes (
PoliticusUSAlink):
Georgia Republicans are described as despondent over the revelations that pushed the
Herschel Walker Senate campaign toward collapse.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported: Just weeks before the midterm election, the shocking developments have some GOP figures despondent about Walker’s chances of defeating Warnock in a November race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate.
Conservative commentator Erick Erickson said the fallout is “probably a K.O.” for Walker’s midterm chances. Nicole Rodden, a former Republican House contender, blamed party leaders for backing a candidate who has “cost the GOP the U.S. Senate for a second time.” “Herschel has fumbled as he was about to score,” said Jay Morgan, a prominent local Republican and former executive director of the state GOP. “And the clock is running out.”
It is difficult to see how
Walker can recover from both the revelation that he paid for his girlfriend’s abortion, with physical evidence of the payment and his own son disavowing him while talking about his history of violence.
Republicans in Georgia listened to Donald Trump, nominated Herschel Walker, and now for the second time in two election cycles have probably cost themselves a chance of winning back the Senate majority. Walker’s implosion has been spectacular, but it is also what happens when a political party lets a man with no more morals or integrity choose their nominees.
