Jason: Only reason to think this was competitive before was because of Boebert being a known and controversial figure. Frisch now has to run against "generic Republican", a much more formidable opponent.
This. And Frisch fundraising will dry-up.

BrentinCO: I think the point is that in the context of the entire Election 2023, the LA Gov win is a Republican success and should be considered when evaluating the narrative of who won the election.
I forgot about it. And its a Republican pickup that moves the GOP up to a 27 - 23 advantage in Governors houses.
That's correct. Thank you for correcting a mis-interpretation.

Yes. Barbara Boxer would be an ideal caretaker for the next 14 months, but she is white.

Major slippery slope. Someone needs to have their access lowered if that is their understanding.

IndyGeorgia: That’s the point. Putin doesn’t want to be subtle. Hacking servers, pushing people out of windows. He wants to be caught. The idea is that everyone knows the government did it and they can do it again (and maybe to you).
Agreed. I think he wants to say it. I think he's pissed off that he's got to hide it from us. I think he wants to say that he made a command decision and that's the end.

The Fixer: Proxy war between: DeSantis and Trump going on right now.
The media / blogosphere / election twitter will no doubt play up that angle, but I would absolutely recommend ignoring all of that for reasons including:
1. There isn't one single true Trump candidate in this race. Cameron has Trump's endorsement, but he is way downplaying it, and has quite a bit of establishment support. He is not running a Trump style campaign. Deters is really the "Trump" style candidate in this race and is going to get most of the hard core Trump voters. Deters will overperform as a result. Especially in Northern KY.
2. The DeSantis vote is split between Craft and Quarles. I think she will do well in the Jefferson County country club vote, but is going to get decimated in most of the rest of the state. Every DeSantis person I know is either supporting Quarles or Cameron.
If Cameron wins this, Trump will no doubt take credit and his supporters will eat it up, but that is disconnected from reality.

Unofficial but as of now it looks like NY-17 was the tipping point district:
#222 CO-03: R+0.2
#221 CA-13: R+0.3 (Estimate)
#220 MI-10: R+0.5
#219 IA-03: R+0.7
#218 NY-17: R+0.8
#217 AZ-01: R+0.9
#216 NY-22: R+0.98

Campari_007: Chabot finally fell. It just about took forever
The last of the GOP members from the class of 1994 (although with the asterisk). Three Democrats remain.
RBH: considering Ohio's dedication to redistricting over and over, Chabot might be back in 2024
Chabot really has no allies, and my suspicion is in the next round this becomes a Dem vote sink. Better targets are 9 and 13.

Some Macro election predictions:
1. GOP ends up with 232 U.S. House seats
2. Most close Senate seats break toward Dems but GOP manage to get to 51.
3. GOP net plus 2 Governor races
4. Post-Election spin is GOP underperformed relative to historical mid-term norms. And it shouldn't Biden
derail Biden agenda.
5. Feb, 2023 media realizes Biden agenda is effectively derailed.
