Fixed. But this really was just him going door to door, because literally any national Democrat would hurt him in MS.

There was a good deal of money. Just there weren't any appearances. That was mostly at Espy's request, because he's right any Democratic appearance would probably have hurt him

I am so disappointed in the result, but heartened by the slow change beginning even in MS.

Stay strong, Dems! Keep on believing!
