Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect a brutal ad to close out the New Jersey governor's race, college students strongly preferring socialism to capitalism, and more drama from South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace as she runs for governor.

First, they dissect Republican Jack Ciattarelli’s brutal closing ad in the New Jersey governor’s race, which spotlights Democrat Mikie Sherrill struggling to name a single legislative priority. Ciattarelli came much closer than expected in 2021. Can he pull off the win tomorrow?

Next, they react to a disturbing new poll showing that 67 percent of college students have a positive or neutral view of socialism, while only 40 percent feel the same about capitalism. Jim offers an explanation as to why so many young lefties blame the system for their frustrations. It must be the system because it can't be a consequence of their own choices, right?

Finally, they groan as Nancy Mace stirs up more controversy by allegedly berating two airport police officers for not meeting her at the curb to escort her to her gate. Mace is great at attracting attention. But as she runs for governor, are South Carolina voters really going to vote for all of her personal drama to be on regular display in the highest office in the state?

Three martini's coming up.

0:12.9

So glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the three martini lunch.

0:17.4

Tomorrow is Election Day in Virginia, New York City, in New Jersey, and lots of places

0:21.6

around the country, but those places have the most watchable races for national political purposes.

0:27.7

We'll be talking about New Jersey in just a second, and a great closing ad from

0:31.0

Republican nominee Jack Cheddarlli. We'll also be taking a look at a new survey from

0:35.5

Axios showing that American college students have it exactly backwards on whether they're favorable towards socialism or capitalism.

0:44.0

The numbers are not encouraging.

And we'll also talk about the latest incident involving South Carolina Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace, who is now running for governor of South Carolina.

0:56.3

Sadly, this is not an isolated incident. Jim, tomorrow's election day. What's your election day routine? I already voted early when I did

1:02.6

used to go, and you can still do this at the early voting locations. You know, they've always got the

1:06.6

literature. Here's your sample ballot kind of thing. I used to take a bunch of

1:11.2

Democratic sample ballots hoping they would run out until the day the guy gave me his whole

1:15.4

stack and said, oh no, don't worry about I got boxes still in the car. Yeah, that strategy is now

1:20.5

no longer employed. Did you not check turnout usually at that polling place? And, you know,

1:26.0

I need eight million copies of my voting.

1:30.5

I vote early in the morning.

1:32.6

For a while there, I was voting absentee.

1:34.9

This is back when I'd be like traveling to the blaze or something on election day.

1:39.2

That's not out of suspicion of mail ballots or anything like that.
