2. Very, very good point

I'm sure the repubs haven't missed the significance of the recent elections. All the more reason for us to keep on keeping on.

5. Thanks for noting that.

That's a great way to turn things around, perceptually speaking. It makes me feel a bit better!

8. IKR !?!!? Not only solid blue but deep solid blue! Like if ATL went to HRC by 5% it'd be panic time
