peeloosi got 70% in the jungle primary.



Tip O'Neal thought he had a safe seat, voters tossed him out in a shocker in 1987.

Voters tossed him out? I thought he had retired.....his only political loss I can find was when he ran for City Council in Cambridge, which according to every source I can find-- was his only electoral defeat.


California is oddball in terms of their Rep elections. She is running against another Dem for the seat-- apparently their primaries advance the top 2 vote getters, regardless of party affiliation. That's why I'm pretty sure she's safe-- she beat him handily the first time around.

Yes, California jungle primary is odder than Louisiana jungle primary. LA has jungle primary, if no one gets 51% of the vote, the top 2 goes into the runoff in the general election. this is different as the top 2 goes into the runoff regardless if a candidate had over 51% of the vote.

I don't think the way they set it up is legal. they should be holding their jungle race in November. LA was forced to hold theirs in November in a lawsuit against the october federal election.

this system actually puts her position at risk. safe district for her, but funny things can happen and bad optics have happened already.

She's running against someone even more left of the dial than she is. In that district.. they're more likely to go with the nutter they know than the one they don't.


Also-- Foley was in a district that became increasingly conservative during his tenure... so really-- while he was the first sitting Speaker to lose since 1860-- its not like it was 100% unexpected.

On topic - erica announced her business is closing.
Congratulations pelosi, biden and harris - another business destroyed - and cannot provide you any taxes for the parasitic elitist DPST terrorists to live off of.
