I was hearing the phrase "the right candidate for the district" a lot this morning. I hope this is the democrats' new strategy. It seems to be working!

Lamb is very liberal on many issues. He's slightly right on a few issues. The party has a big tent and candidates like Lamb have always been welcome. But he was a great candidate to win in this Jerrymandered district.
