Fetterman? Stoke guy? Over Lamb? Ok.... We will see how that goes.

And Warnock in a battle with Abortion Guy, but it is GA. The rest, pfft.

Fetterman is 1,000x better than Lamb.  State-wide elected official that is progressive with a blue collar streak that can appeal to a wide array of people.  Assuming he recovers from his stroke fully, and he should, he could very well be running for president in 2028.  Lamb was good for winning that one purple district he is in.  He would not stoke turnout in the major cities in Pennsylvania enough to win a statewide race even against Oz.

Here is how I handicap the close senate races:

Fetterman over Oz in PA
Warnock over Walker in GA in a squeaker because it's Georgia
Johnson over Barnes in WI even though Ron Johnson might be one of the stupidest human beings on the planet
Vance over Ryan in OH but closer than it should be in Ohio because Ryan has run a damn good campaign.  JD Vance is trash but it is Ohio after all.
Kelly over Masters in AZ because astronauts are always better than fascists, even in Arizona
Budd over Beasley in NC in a fairly close outcome
Rubio over Demings in FL because it's Florida.  They would elect Hitler if given the chance.
Masto should win re-election in NV but it looks close

I show a net pick-up for Democrats of 1 seat but there are a lot of very close races in potential pick-up states.  I just want the election done so I can start watching live tv again without seeing the same 3 political ads ad nauseum.

I concede that arguing politics rarely gets anyone anywhere, but imma still do it anyway. I refuse to sit idly by on what I feel are important matters.

I don't disagree with that sentiment but I tend to be very strategic about those kinds of debates.  If it's two people agreeing on a common set of facts and then debating how to address said facts, that can be a very good discussion.  However, if you can't agree with someone that fire is hot and water is wet, it's not worth wasting the mental energy of trying to convince them of anything.

Welcome to the board! Do you know Wayne?

I go way back to the old Scout board back to the Self years, but decided to rebrand and come on back.  I don't even remember my old handle. 

Given it's October I am doing horror films all month and diving pretty deep in some places.  So far, off the top of my head, I have watched:

Deadstream - fun goofy found footage film about a disgraced Youtuber that stays the night at a haunted house that ends up actually being haunted
Lake Mungo - found footage/mockumentary about the death of a teenager and ghostings
Hellraiser - new Hulu reimagining, wasn't amazing but much better than anything since Hellraiser 4
Grave Encounters 1 & 2 - more found footage, creepy as hell about an abandoned mental hospital
The Houses October Built - easily my favorite of the month so far, yet another found footage about friends traveling around trying to find the most extreme haunted houses and it gets creepy as all hell
The Houses October Built 2 - not as good as the first but still very solid and a fun twist ending

I will definitely be checking out VHS 99 when it drops on Shudder in a few days and plan to watch Terrifier 2 and see what gore Art the Clown is getting into.
