I seem to have dropped her from all my teams this year having included her in several including my shadow list for several years. I can't remember my rationale but suspect I felt she looked like she'd reach 100.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. Why do you think Tennessee has gradually moved away from the dems? I recall reading that it really hurt Al Gore that his home state that he was senator for many years voted for Bush in 2000. Is it one of those states that would be classed as part of the bible belt and also quite big on gun rights? I am aware that the demographics of Arizona are thought by political experts to be gradually moving in favour of the Democrats long term but is the same thing happening in Alaska or is that more an anti Trump thing why dems are modestly improving their chances there? I was surprised and pleasantly so to read that Vermont has a Republican governor who is very liberal on gay rights and legalising marijuana! American politics fascinates me!

Hi @Joey Russ I saw your post on the Ruth Bader Ginsburg thread and decided to ask for your thoughts and insight on USA politics here so as not to clutter up Ruth's thread. You seem really insightful and knowledgeable about your countrys politics so I am genuinely interested in your thoughts. Do you think there is much scope for any surprise states flipping in both the presidential race and the Senate race? Al Gores home state Tennesse for example ?Would that be outside the realms of possibility? Could you see Ohio becoming a solid blue state again? Also is there anything noteworthy happening in this years state governors elections or any possible surprises? I also understand that there are elections at state level for state Senate and state house of representatives. How important are these particular 'smaller' elections to the American public? Finally do you not thing it might be possible that the democratic senator for Alabama Doug who beat the controversial Republican Roy Moore might have helped acclimatise enough of the states voters to his party to have a decent outside shot at winning reelection? Hope you don't mind indulging me! It would be sincerely appreciated. Cheers Gooseberry

It's an interesting phenomenon! I wonder why gay men are disproportionately represented amongst deadpoolers/deathlist forumers?
