SMH- A denizen of this board said the Handel election means seven more years of Trump [View all]

Anything is possible. The Orlando Magic might be hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy next June. But not everything is likely.

The GOP has held that seat since 1979. In the GOP's last defense of that seat before yesterday Doc Price won it by twenty four points. We lost it yesterday by six. Math isn't my forte but I can add and subtract, especially small numbers. We improved our performance by eighteen points. I am not suggesting we can improve our performance by eighteen points across the board but if we make similar marked improvements we will do well in 018 and 020.

NJ and VA have gubernatorial races in November. The former is held by a Republican. Let's see how they do.
