Brian Kemp. Hey, I’d vote for her, and I’d vote for her based on her reasoning, so go Stacey!

Not only did Kobach lose, so did Scott Walker! Double bonus!! 😃

As a Missourian, I disagree. I cussed when I saw she lost. As much as I think McCaskill is the kind of moderate candidate it’s hard to win with–the Democrats need leaders who are more vocal about things they’re progressive on, and a little ideological–a moderate Democrat can be very influential and important in the day-to-day work of the chamber. My state is not going to better off with a generic Republican prettyboy in that seat.

Actually, Hawley has drawn comparisons to Ben Sasse, so hopefully he ends up being a decent fellow. But a lot of decent people in both parties went down yesterday and a lot of crooks got reelected. It was not a good night for character voters.

But I am glad that Kobach lost. That gives me hope.

Oh, Scott Walker, too? That is good news, and overdue.

He recently attended the “New Code of the West” far-right gathering which happened to be in Whitefish, MT, home of alt-right douche Richard Spencer. And yet the idiots in his District keep re-electing him. I hope this time is different. Fuck him, his dream state of “Liberty” and the entire redoubt movement.

Sadly, my district re-elected this turkey. I don’t know why anyone would be surprised. More than twelve thousand people voted for a dead guy to replace the county sheriff. (Thankfully, the dead guy lost.)

Alas, it’s looking like Kobach will be the next AG nominee. When Republicans fail, they tend to fail upward. :mad:

Rohrabacher, Brat, and Coffman all lost.

I don’t see anything about Kobach as the next AG. Where did you see it?

ETA, never mind. Now it’s coming up in Google search as a rumor. Blech.

You are correct: There are a ton of idiots around that not only voted for Shea, but also the dead asshole that changed his name to “DumpOzzie dot com”. And statewide, over a half million dipshits voted for a deranged conspiracy theorist for the Washington Supreme Court Position 8 (Nathan Choi). Luckily, Choi lost.
