What is your perspective on Ruffini's take (generic ballot swing to Dems is heavily from deep red districts that Dems won't win)?

I am curious what impact you think the large influx of Republican dark money will have in the last weeks.

I'm obviously not Elliott but seems like it should be minimal, assuming you mean the dark money is used to buy lots of ads.

IIRC some research shows that ads are most effective in cases where name recognition is low or opinions of the candidates haven't solidified. And at the same time, all evidence indicates this *will* be a referendum on Trump, who the electorate overall just hates. More ad hominems about the actual Dem candidate won't change that.

Elon thought he could buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice. If anything, those links hurt his candidate.

Thank you, much appreciated. Looks like AI and dark money are trying to crush Brown in Ohio.

I am interested in the potential of voter acceptance or rejection of LGBTQ candidates.

I've been out of town for 2 weeks among non-political people, I feel so out of touch! Looking forward to seeing the results!
