Cause otherwise midterms discussion will be scattered around a bunch of separate Culture War thread posts. And it's nice to have more off-the-cuff rapid reactions in a dedicated megathread.
The first thing I've noticed so far: if the exit polls are correct, Americans are very pessimistic about AI.

Was MIssissippi on anyone's radar? I heard absolutely nothing about the Senate race there, and it's currently too close to call with the Democrat slightly ahead. If he wins, I think he'd be the first black man elected to statewide office since Reconstruction.
I did notice that the polls were oddly close, and that there weren’t very many of them.
Being in position to slam one’s Republican opponent as being anti-BBQ is a good place to be in the South.
That really is a great ad, legit funny and such a clean attack. I can see why he’s doing so well, he comes off very charismatic in just that short clip. Plus, wow, all else aside the GOP really did pull out all the stops to run an awful slate of candidates this year, didn’t they. Paxton, Vivek, Lindsey Graham’s nepo-sister, apparently this lady…
Abdul El-Sayed, Talarico, Amy "AA" Acton, Troy Jackson, Mary Peltola!?
This election had little to do with candidate quality. In Michigan, Mike Rogers was a legitimately good candidate against a legitimately horrible one. Didn't matter.
Mike Rogers was a deep state goon and proven loser running on a platform of slavish devotion to a country with the approval rating of AIDS.
The only reason anyone ever thought he was a "legitimately good candidate" is that treacherous foreign agents for said country are disproportionately represented among those who own media outlets. The guy was anti-endorsed by Judge Napolitano of all people
