The Results of Yesterday's Election Are Promising, but [View all]

they don't mean we're free and clear. Not by any means. Odd-year elections just don't reflect much in future major elections. They just don't. We should be saying, Yay, but we should be thinking about the next challenges and planning how we will win in 2026.

It's nice that Democrats won some local elections. I like that very much. But those elections are pretty much irrelevant to the races next year.

Look ahead. Plan ahead. Think ahead.

No doubt. We must have missed that in the last few elections. MineralMan Nov 5 #6
It does give us some momentum going into midterms. Kind of like scoring at the end of the half in a game you are losing. Silent Type Nov 5 #7
You seem to have a problem with people celebrating victory. Sogo Nov 5 #8
Do I? Hmm... MineralMan Nov 5 #9
Oh wow. And here I thought we were out of the woods and it was all over. I was just about to uncork the bubbly. BannonsLiver Nov 5 #10
uncork it! RussBLib Nov 5 #12
We're never out of sarcasm, though. MineralMan Nov 5 #13
