@LWVWA @SpokesmanReview @GonzagaU 1. There was one moderator, @LaurelDemkovich. Having one moderator is simpler. Large panels of moderators have been seen in past #wasen debates. But as we saw tonight, having one moderator works well.
2. Rebuttal time was provided. It's really important in a debate to offer time for rebuttals and the organizers did so.
Early, but this is an absolutely brutal number for Republicans in the #WASen primary, with Dems beating the GOP 57-40 so far. WA traditionally shifts to the left in the general. In 2010, when Murray won by 5, Republicans actually narrowly *led* in the primary.
Safe Democratic.
Safe Democratic.
It essentially takes one of the marginal seats that some had speculated about off the board. If Rick Scott wants to burn money here, I'm not sure Democrats will stop him, but late results likely won't shift the picture enough to change what is a bit disastrous for Rs.
For context, in order to actually have a shot here in the Senate race, as @BruneElections had pointed out, the Republicans really needed to tie or at least get close to it. Late arrivals may narrow it somewhat, but it likely won't even be close to 50/50, if history is indicative.
