Each channel has such different results and the announcers are so stupid for the most part. The man explaining the counts was good though, lol but he kept getting interrupted. I better get some sleep.

The one commonality the News division has with another NBC reality star Donald Trump is ratings.

18. 79% voter turnout in heavily Democratic Dane County which includes Madison
Wed Nov 4, 2020, 09:35 AM
Nov 2020

In Dane County nearly 339,000 votes — about 79% of the county’s voting-age population — were counted Tuesday night with most precincts reporting results. In 2016, about 311,000 votes were cast.

In Madison, more than 158,154 votes were counted, according to Dane County data, representing 74% of Madison’s voting-age population.

jaw-boning. Negotiating, cajoling, arm-twisting, public opinion shaking with Senate interface.

But also EO's. It will force a more moderate cabinet, but Joe is a little bit of that too.

Republican Senate can only stonewall for 18 months before they're campaigning for reelection, 23 of 'em.

And the country may not now be in a mood for more partisanship.

One wild card: Joe's communication skills. Clear, whole sentences, delivered earnestly. Almost Reaganesque, yet cagey with a hint of FDR.

Don't underestimate Joe Biden!

We'll have a pretty good shot at taking the Senate in 2022 if we don't this year.

But less economic relief, Judicial inequality, legislative gridlock, more dead then if Joe has a Blue Senate.

Same as it was for Obama after 2010.

That's my biggest worry. Also, the ACA should be safe for a while with a Biden presidency.

How did it happen that, when I went to bed last night, the networks were calling the state for Drumpf, and now it seems Biden has won it? That's a pretty big turnaround. It's like Ohio in 2004, except the inverse.
