Hi from the Whitmer watch party in the #MIGOV race. Early results only but if Abdul El-Sayed was looking to replicate Bernie map from 2016 presidential primary -- things are going to have to change. Whitmer up big in Clinton County with 40% of precincts in. Bernie won by 13 pts
welp
I'd say it's still worth watching the numbers here. Whitmer probably wants to be over 50 percent to claim statewide mandate, and we'll see how El-Sayed performs in cities like in and around Detroit. Results page here nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Trump continues to play Kingmaker. If it's Schuette and Gretchen Whitmer, which it looks like it will be, this sets up another Trump-like male candidate versus Dem woman for open gubernatorial race -- similar to Georgia

A new piece from me: On the story about race in the midterms few are talking about: Not Stacey Abrams or Andrew Gillum, but how the GOP has nominated their whitest slate of Governor's candidates in years. nytimes.com/2018/10/03/us/…
Republicans used to have a more diverse gubernatorial bench than Democrats in recent years, with people like Jindal, Haley, Sandoval, and Martinez. Now, after this midterms, the party's roster threatens to be all-white, and overwhelmingly male
nytimes.com/2018/10/03/us/…
Some Republicans whisper that this is not an anomaly, but the direct result of the party's convergence around white interests, fueled by a Trump campaign and presidency that has focused its appeals on its overwhelmingly white electoral base

My kind of petty: Democrat running for House seat in Arizona gets six of his Republican opponent's SIBLINGS to be in an advertisement against their brother
Update: I got an email from David Gosar, one of the brother's featured in the video. He wants me to tweet this statement, and I'll oblige (1/4)
"What are we supposed to do when Paul makes excuses for the Charlottesville Nazis, goes to a march for Tommy Robinson, a despicable right wing British thug and gives a speech, is a birther, slanders an old man, George Soros, who didn't do anything wrong to him...." (2/4)

New: NYT is taking stock after a hectic primary season. I talked with campaign managers, candidates, and strategists from the biggest progressive upsets to come up with connecting threads 1/5
nytimes.com/2018/09/15/us/…
The candidate: Obviously minority candidates have been more successful, but it's more than that. It's creating a narrative of life experiences that is not only inspiring, but matches that of the district
nytimes.com/2018/09/15/us/…
Bold, clear messages: the knock that insurgent Dems are simply anti-Trump is outdated. Most of these candidates promised idealistic, progressive solutions that imagined the world as it should be, in their eyes. Not bogged down by political realities nytimes.com/2018/09/15/us/…

Huge news from St. Louis County: With 90% of precincts reporting, Ferguson Council member Wesley Bell is now 10 points ahead of St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McColluch, who handled Mike Brown-Darren Wilson investigation.

Criminal justrice reform may be coming to Ferugson
I asked Bell what he would do differently from in cases of police shootings, he promised three things: 1) A special prosecutor to avoid conflicts of interest 2) new data collection to share with residents 3) increased transparency
nytimes.com/2018/08/07/us/…
McColluch has held this position in St. Louis County since 1990! I asked Bell why he thought he could win, he said "he's a paper tiger." Looks like he may have been right (groups like Color of Change also poured big resources into this race).
