Oh my. He was O.C. ver 1.0 original. He planned to be in the Senate (thus the name FMOUSS).
His two favorite Senators were Jesse Helms and Ted Kennedy. He stated he had a heart attack at age 13 and to recover he took up smoking. He would add in country musicians into various races and claimed to be in touch with them personally. etc. etc.

IDMN: If every Republican candidate runs behind Trump as much as Fine did, Democrats will hold 276 seats in the House come 2026.
If every current Republican seat is an open seat, then yes 276 for the Dems is possible. The odds of no Republican House member running for reelection are minimal.

Campari_007: I viscerally despise Elon Musk. This is the first person who's been involved in politics with real power that I have an active hatred for. Even Trump doesn't bring it out in me the way Musk does. Let's put it this way, I don't believe in bullying but I think Musk deserves to be humiliated and bullied repeatedly because he's a disgusting human being.
Someone needs a better coping mechanism.

Running a high profile nationwide quixotic campaign in a district that is a vote sink for the other party has basically become a cottage industry.

BigZuck08:
If only I was born two decades before...... sigh
I see you were born on Dec 9,2008. That was the date the Feds busted Blago for trying to sell Obama's Senate seat and I do recall this site was a flurry of activity that day. Makes me feel ancient.

BrentinCO: Don't know anything about the poster, but Tiffany Henyard has been in various headlines as a corrupt, horrible mayor. She has used city funds for personal items, the residents want her to resign. Always drama. Lots of drama. Not surprised there was a fight involving her at a City Council meeting.
But looking at the next time there is an election - seems like her days are numbered.
Agreed. Most people understand when a tweet is posted that the content of the tweet is the reason for the posting rather than the tweet creator.
There are always a couple of people on political message boards that when they realize they are on the wrong side of the discussion either deflect or invoke Godwin's law. Thankfully only a few on this site. Best to skip over them and keep contributing interesting content.

LSjustbloggin: Did anyone see Senator Gillibrand's meltdown ?.
These hearings are often primarily used for Senators to improve their standing among the base and after the past couple of years no way would she pass up this opportunity.
LSjustbloggin: The next Democrat president, that president-elect will pick someone whom the Republicans will fume over just like the Democrats are fuming over Hegseth.
Most likely yes.

Contrary to previous information it appears that Justice is delaying the start of his Senate term to finish out his term as Governor.

I did not know this.
In January West Virginia will have 4 different governors in 10 days--
On Jan 3 Gov Jim Justice (R) will leave office to be sworn in as a US Senator.
Current LG/Senate President Craig Blair (R), who lost re-election, will be governor from Jan 3-8.
The winner of GOP caucus race between Sens. Tom Takubo, Randy Smith & Eric Tarr will replace Blair as Senate President/Acting Governor from Jan 8-13.
Newly elected Patrick Morrisey (R) then gets sworn in on Jan 13

Jason: Democrats are going to have to target red states over the next several cycles. They don't have any other choice.
Looking ahead to potential 2026 competitive Senate Races--
GOP held seats and Presidential result:
Maine: D +7
North Carolina: R +3
Ohio Special: R +11
Iowa: R +13
Texas: R +14
Alaska: R +15
Kansas: R +16
Dem-held seats ranked by 2024 result:
Georgia: R +2
Michigan: R +1
New Hampshire: D +3
Minnesota: D +4
New Jersey: D +5
Virginia: D +5
New Mexico: D +6
Maine will be the big target and probably the Ohio special. GOP will be on defense but mostly on friendly territory.
