Mr. Politics: Van Orden called Gaetz "Tubby" not the Speaker. Van Orden is against any motion to vacate.
That really flips that whole tweet on its head. More fine reporting from NBC News.

Hikikomori Blitzkrieg!: The movie is actually about Rudolf Höss, but it's an easy mistake to make.
Ahhh. Thank you for clarifying. I didn't realize that Rudolf Hess and a Rudolf Höss were different people. I have a little reading to do. Explains a few things.

The current Ohio Senate President Matt Huffman is running unopposed for a house seat and is expected to challenge the current House speaker Jason Stephens who was elected speaker with 22 Republican votes as well as all the Democratic members so he was trying to oust some of the Pro-Stephens Republicans.
15 of these Republicans got primary challengers and only 4 of them lost so Stephens speakership looks safe for now unless Huffman can convince some of them to switch over.

The date for the special election selection caucus is now set for Thursday, March 28.
This will be followed by the Sat April 5 nominating assembly for the June Primary. Both contests will inevitable whittle down the large number of Republican candidates who are actively running and / or make the the ballot. Boebert is the FIRST candidate to be guaranteed a spot on the June Primary ballot as she has returned enough signatures. Her competing in the April 5 nominating convention will certainly prevent other names from earning the 30% required to make it on the ballot from the nominating convention.
What we will find out from this race is who is the anti-Boebert candidate is. My money is on Sonnenberg winning both contest. But if Sonnenberg doesn't win here Lynch, Harvey, Flora or Holtorf might come out victorious.

Patrick: ...I guess the appetite for a generic unknown Republican in CA is larger than I thought.
In fairness he's not really an unknown. He has a name recognition in California from his distinguished baseball career - particularly because he played for both the LA Dodgers and SD Padres (helping the latter win a WS). He's no Arnold Schwarzenegger, but I'm sure his name recognition helped separate him from other Republicans and probably garnered him some D votes.

Good point. I keep forgetting TX has run-offs end of May for races that there is not a primary winner of 50% + 1 vote. Could be several run-offs in both parties.

If the maps keep changing, I'll keep updating.

Mr. Politics:
Is it your best estimate that this race is the tipping point race for State Senate control?
Yes. If they don't win this they have no shot of controlling the State Senate. But the pivot race is probably SD 31 since by the numbers it looks like the most competitive.
There are 5 races that seem to be "highly competitive" based on past election results. If the races that favor Dems (19) go as expected and the races that favor Reps (16) go as expected; these 5 races will determine the outcome for control.
Republicans need to win 4 to gain a tie in the Senate to win control with the vote of the Lt. Gov and all 5 to win outright control. Of course, I'm just looking at money, past results, and newspaper articles. I'd love to hear from someone in Virginia on this.
Here's my take:
SD 16 | VPAP.org Analysis [Link] | OC Race [Link] | Republican incumbent; McAullife won it for Governor in 2021 (Probably a loss)
SD 17 | VPAP.org Analysis [Link] | OC Race [Link] | Youngkin won by 5% in 2021; Dem US House Candidate won by 0.2% in 2022; Dem candidate has issues (Probably a victory)
SD 24 | VPAP.org Analysis [Link] | OC Race [Link] | Democrat incumbent; Youngkin won it for Governor in 2021 by 3.4% (Maybe a victory)
SD 27 | VPAP.org Analysis [Link] | OC Race [Link] | Youngkin won by 7% in 2021; US House Dem candidate won by 2.2% in 2022; Third party candidate could draw from Dem (Probably a Victory)
SD 31 | VPAP.org Analysis [Link] | OC Race [Link] | Youngkin got exactly 50% beating McAuliffe by about 0.6% in 2021; D US House Candidate won by 5.6% (Probably a loss)
