(67,779 posts)Nope. No "projects" anywhere. Here are the edits, bold, italic, and underlined. The first two dealt with a typo in Peltola's name. The third added a link to the Reuters story.

(19,021 posts)I mean, there was nothing to call. The votes were counted and the final totals release. So they reported it, not called it.
I guess theyre just used to calling it.

(3,166 posts)I read an article that said that Palin barely campaigned. She just expected it to be handed to her, and of course shes too lazy for campaigning. She and Begich spent all their time blasting each other.
And of course, the national Democrats slept through this, thinking it was a lost cause. Maybe someday theyll learn. 🙄 Peltola will need support in November.

(6,390 posts)Mitch acknowledged they might not recapture the Senate. Now they are looking at the possibility of not getting the house. He got the judges he wanted, but as the old saying goes, be careful of what you ask for, you just might get it.
