Senate, a few more gubernatorial races in South, etc. But, we got House, did well in many states, and still have some shot at a few important races.

And woke up Wednesday to find out Handel lost. Life is good, but more work to do.

...as a pretty shitty governor. Why would people think he’d be any better as a senator?

I can’t remember - was he term-limited or did he choose not to run for governor again? If he had, do you think he would have been re-elected to that position?

I would like to thank the 60 Democratic Reps who had the courage to vote for the
Affordable Care Act in 2010 and put the people of their district before their jobs and probably knew that they were going to lose their jobs( in 2012) but still had the courage to do the right thing. They were vindicated in this years election. Not one Republican Rep had the courage these past two years to put country before party and do their jobs as a check and balances on this out of control President. What a bunch of cowards. Next step, Trump is a cancer and will be eradicated in 2020 if we keep our foot on the gas pedal and get the Moral Majority out there to vote. PS I have never seen so many outstanding Democratic candidates on the ballot in my lifetime. United we Stand, Divided we Fall. Keep the Faith.

It has been a good election and we are STILL fighting the biggest election thieves in the world...they can only win by lying, stealing and cheating. And we all know they can't govern their way out of a paper bag. We will never stop fighting. We care about our country and not our personal bank accounts.
