Outside the Beltway

In case you need some reading this morning.

One of these things is not like the other.

It would be nice if politicians and cable news outlets were more responsible.

It was a squeaker, but this one is a win for the MAGAs.

This kind of “analysis” drives me nuts

“Mythical”

Go ahead and pop a few.

The ship is abandoning the sinking rat.

Losing has a way of creating intraparty strife.

Alas, it probably doesn’t matter.

The re-election campaign is quietly forming but don’t expect an announcement any time soon.

Some of the early reactions to the inevitable announcement tell the tale.

Covering the coverage.

A MAGA challenger has already emerged for 2024.

A new milestone in human history.

Do his achievements and good works outweigh his virulent antisemitism?

There was some quiet meddling going on.

Another election denier loses.

A showdown over wages could upend the apprenticeship arrangement that has long characterized graduate education.

This one at the University of Virginia.

How much is enough?

Discrimination? Issues? Incumbency?

Looking at past Senate elections and some more thoughts on historical patterns.

The “America First” slate of candidates lost all but one contest.

We used to (usually) know the results on Election Night because the outcomes were clearer.

Even the 2020 election deniers are conceding close elections in the midterms.

With a win in Nevada, the party will retain at least 50 seats.

How long did we wait in 2000?

The stand-up comic is gone at 76.

Well, kind of, but not really.

Adam Laxalt’s big lead is slowly erodiing.

It boils down to NV or GA.

Looking at some historical data.

Thinking about what was likely and what wasn’t.

Parsing the results thus far.

“Fall Colors”

A surprising factoid in a bad election for the party.

The New York Post and Wall Street Journal are blasting the losing loser.

Disproportional representation!

The numbers aren’t real. Not yet, anyway.
