Here are the top Senate races to watch in the 2022 midterms

Kevin Breuninger & Gabriel Cortés  |  OCT 17 2022


The battle for control of the U.S. Senate could hinge on a single race.

A handful of make-or-break Senate elections in key states are only growing more competitive as candidates barrel toward the Nov. 8 midterm elections. Only a few contests could determine how the Senate handles policy — and President Joe Biden’s nominees for key posts — for the rest of the president’s first term.  .  .

I am highlighting this article to illustrate the money advantage that the Democrats have.  I have long said that all this excess in Federal spending gets channeled right back into Democrat campaign chests, and that Republicans are stupid as hell to continue allowing it.  Check out the money in these Senate races:

Georgia
Democrats   - $60 mil
Republicans - $20 mil


Arizona
Democrats   - $52 mil
Republicans - $ 5 mil


Nevada
Democrats   - $29 mil
Republicans - $ 7 mil


North Carolina
Democrats   - $16 mil
Republicans - $ 6 mil


Ohio
Democrats   - $21 mil
Republicans - $ 3 mil


New Hampshire
Democrats   - $31 mil
Republicans - $<1 mil


Florida
Democrats   - $47 mil
Republicans - $36 mil


Colorado
Democrats   - $14 mil
Republicans - $ 3 mil
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Well on the bright side there's going to be some poorer Democrats after this over. Ad saturation can be quite the turn off, especially when they are filled with lies.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

:pondering:

The addition of "first" implies the thought that there might be a second term. 

:terror:

If that happens, it will be the end of the Republic, one way or another.  :thud:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

We don't know how much of the money being 'spent' is actually going into slush funds and pockets, laundered through consultants or family businesses, either. I'd just about bet my paycheck they're Democrats.
