Reply to Remaining Uncalled PA House of Representatives Races as of 9:00 AM Thursday. From NYT by rndljfry
Why did the PA Dems already declare victory in flipping the state house? Out of 142, 144, and 151, we need to win 2 of those to have the majority.
Moffa's up by exactly 2 votes in 142, and Cerrato is down by a couple dozen votes in 151. I feel like it's extremely premature to declare victory right now when the races are that close. Especially when we just spent the last 2 years deriding Republicans for not understanding that it takes time to count every single vote. We're gonna look really, really dumb if Hogan closes that gap.
Am I missing something?

>Can we please get some option that doesn't require my use of a VPN to watch the games without a cable subscription. I just want to hand some group money just for the Pens games.
The only way you'd be able to do that would be to pay way more than you'd want to pay.
Cable subscribers subsidize the relatively low cost of streaming-only services like mlb.tv.
A streaming only option would be so expensive that it would just be cheaper to have cable anyway. Because as it stands, half of cable subscribers are paying the regional sports network fee but not actually watching those channels. If you take away the regional sports networks from cable, you'd have a lot smaller customer base. Taking the networks off of cable won't result in some option that's better than what you can get now.
It's not like there isn't a way to watch these games. If you want to have access to all the games, you need to get cable.
