That would be so incredible and we wouldn’t even need to lower the 60 seat thresholds on bills.

When I saw that poll I decided I would send some his way. If you’re wanting to give to a senate candidate he might be a good one.

Anybody know what his status is as far as money available?

His name came out of the blue (literally and figuratively). I think I only heard about how well he was doing here on DU. I don't see this race been discussed on the MSM, but it would be incredible if he/we won this.

Jaime Harrison is doing well, so he gets another (small) amount for me, and I'm deciding who else to give to who needs it. And Barbara Bolliar in KS is doing very well too.

That being said, I cannot understand how Doug Jones is not trouncing Tuberville. Also, is Amy McGrath within striking distance of the Moscow Turtle?

Let's fight for every seat we can and then make the most of the next 2-4 years to wipe our the virus that is the Reputincan party, as well as Covid-19. This year, these contributions are more important to my family and my country than any pension plan.

Great candidate and I look at this as an investment in the future as well as a way to multiply the effect of a likely blue tsunami.

We also have a shot in Alaska, Montana, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Then we have the ones we initially targeted that should be in the bag.

Then there is Texas tantalizingly close.

I threw away a few bucks in Wyoming just because the candidate is great and deserves to get her message out. It’s so unlikely that there is zero polling- but you don’t know if you don’t try.
