I am so pumped up after last night I even think we could take the House.

I know that is a long shot at best, but WOW, just WOW. Listening to Republicans today has been amazing, they are truly crying in their beer. The fact that Fox did not show Mr. Kahn talk about his amazing son is the most telling fact. Ailes must still be there haunting the place.

I had a Republican friend of mine from home email me this morning and she said "you win, I give up I'm voting for Hillary and so is Michael" (her husband). She has been active in the Republican party since we were in college and she was President of the College Republicans and I was President of the College Democrats. She has given them tons of money, tons of time, been a convention delegate and party worker. She did not attend the convention this year and has been pretty much in mourning since Trump won the nomination.

During this email exchange she talked about the possibility of their losing the House and Senate, she said it was a real possibility even with the gerrymandered districts.

It's good to be a Democrat!

in a seamlessly and selfless fashion without missing a beat in the revolution that's not about him. That opportunity seems to have been wasted though.

We can do this together as a people just by turning out to vote. That's all it will take.
