But it's a much-needed break from the sh!tshow we've been witnessing every day since January 20 of this year.
Let people enjoy the taste of victory for ONE DAY, will you?

"But those elections are pretty much irrelevant to the races next year." I couldn't disagree more. They are a reasonable bellwether....

"Look ahead. Plan ahead. Think ahead." No reason to think that's not happening. Nothing like a good series of victories to propel momentum....

Have a good day!!

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

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
