GOP nerves on edge after Sinema takes lead over McSally

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) has taken a narrow lead over Rep. Martha McSally (R) in a hotly contested race for a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona after a wave of ballots from Maricopa County broke heavily toward the Democrat on Thursday night.

Now, with about half a million votes left to count, Republicans are nervous that the votes left to be counted will favor Sinema.

Sinema leads McSally by just 9,163 votes out of nearly two million cast, a margin of just 0.48 percentage points. Angela Green, the Green Party nominee, has 43,958 votes.

Publicly, McSally’s campaign says it is confident that the remaining ballots will break their way. McSally's team has told allies that the ballots counted on Thursday are likely to have come from the final early votes cast before Election Day, voters that are most likely to favor Democrats.

2. Mango is trying to whip the base into a frenzy over this one, now, too

Only one party hates the thought of every vote being counted in every race. The reputinklan party.

3. Quick question: If Sinema and Nelson were both to win, what is the margin in the Senate. Thanks.

I could probably look it up, but I'm sure someone here already knows.....

4. 48-52, with MS still having a run-off on Nov 27

If the GOP wins that run-off, it remains 48-52, otherwise it's 49-51
