Better ham sammich (product) - CANDIDATES - some credit to the "leaders"

A lot of the credit to the successes of Tuesday night should go to the people who stepped up to run for offices AND the county/state/national leadership that were willing to accept new comers.

The norm for both parties is to offer up the same old same old or the "next up" from a layer of government below the seat they are running for. It's tired and uninspired. The new blood brings energy and - this is key - grassroots organizations

McBath in Georgia and Spanberger in Virginia are the most obvious examples. It happened all over the place.

Let's give some credit to the powers that be to accept people coming out of nowhere.
It's all about the product - My ham sammich is better than yours -and marketing it. A better product works.
