Exactly. I nearly spilled my lunchtime G&T when I read that. Lake is currently up by 1.7% with 80% of the votes counted, and everyone knows that the in-person votes, which are counted later, will continue to break in her favour.
And they wonder why so many of us distrust, and are reluctant to pay for, the ‘journalism’ that is put in front of us.
That aside, the writer sneers about those who are dissatisfied with the ‘status quo’. This would be the status quo that has brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the financial crisis, the disastrous Covid response, disgusting levels of inequality, education systems that teach nothing, Big Tech censorship, dependence on Russia and Saudi for energy when we have all the energy we need, etc, etc. They expect people to be happy with this??!!
Update. Lake declared victory last night, which the left and the MSM has described as being premature. I tend to agree with them on the basis that electoral shenanigans cannot be ruled out.
Update. Lake is officially the winner, despite an obvious attempt by the Republican establishment to fix this particular race with, presumably, a pre-emptive vote dump.
Perhaps the writer of this pathetic and inaccurate article could delve into matters such as the rigging of elections instead of making absurd an inaccurate predictions. But of course that would require some journalism, which is not something so-called journalists are wont to do these days.
Moreover the author finds it “frightening” that a non-leftist candidate possesses a ‘desire to win the coming ideological battle’. Are you %^&*ing kidding me? The left literally does nothing BUT ideological battle. This person is delusional.
You misunderstand the content of the measure that failed. Kansas, thanks to the Kansas Supreme Court conjuring a right to abortion out of unrelated texts in the Kansas Constitution the way the Roe court did out the U.S. Constitution, cannot have a reasonable compromise (say a copy of abortion law in any of the Nordic countries). The measure that was defeated would have allowed the legislature to regulate abortion (potentially including a ban), but would not in and of itself have changed abortion law in Kansas, other than abolishing a judicially created “right”. As is is now Kansas cannot have the sort of law a majority of Americas would like (74% poll as favoring Nordic-style restrictions).

Thank you for acknowledging that not all Republican voters are merely rubes that are intoxicated by Trump. Some of us have been around long before Trump arrived on the scene. Although I voted for the man twice, and think he delivered more on his campaign promises in 4 years than anyone I have seen in my lifetime, I hope he doesn’t run again. The swamp has already successfully consumed him, unfortunately, and there is no way out.

They have such unlikely names… like something from the cast of Dallas…
We Dallasites call them “American” names — and very few of them are parted in the middle.

I had to do a double take because as I started reading I though the author was talking about “black masters”, so I got a bit lost 😀
Anyway, a few days ago I was reading about that senator from Michigan (I think) – the one who testified that he had been leaned on to declare the election invalid, but didn’t budge – who was going against a Trump approved candidate. What happened in that race?
No, it was Arizona. I have just read on the BBC website that Rusty Bowers has lost by a large margin.

the JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon would make far and away the best, sane, educated, articulate worldly wise president, rather than this bunch of hicks, with shoe size I Q and dont know the difference between Austria and Australia, or where the continent called ” Yerp” actually is…
Tell your writer to stop taking so many naps. Kari Lake didn’t “lose decisively”, she won by a decent margin.

Update: Lake now up by 1.8%

Hear! Hear!
Good to see the abortion issue in KS fail. I do hope that in most places the extremes subside into a reasonable compromise for an ugly situation.
