calimary's JournalSo glad! Congratulations!
And it's nice to put ANOTHER Democratic stamp on the night. We gained a few scalps this evening. Not as many as we'd hoped, but overall, it's a win. Congratulations! Best to you, Hizzoner-elect, and all the DiBlasios!
Bookmarking this one several different ways. I may have to send it to a friend.
Thanks for posting it! There's SO much misinformation and bad or lazy or agenda-driven media coverage. Don't want to call it "reporting" because - the way it's being presented indicates the presenter did NO due diligence, but merely rewrote what they saw on the surface, especially since it could be sensationalized like Pox Noise does. They go for the emotional kill. That overrides whatever anemic "correction" they may run a week later - after the damage is done and the scar tissue has set in. There's the perennial complaint about the blaring headline splattered all over page one above the fold declaring thus 'n' such, which turns out to be wrong and the paper runs a minimal and non-eye-catching correction two-thirds of the way down on page A26.
AND to be vigilant on the down-ballot races too.
DON'T give an inch!
DON'T concede ANYTHING (Dems in NJ, I'm talking to YOU)!
DON'T let them get a foothold. A toehold. An ANYTHING hold.
And DON'T take your eyes off them for an instant. They're ALWAYS up to no good. Never forget what Mad-Eye Moody always warned Harry Potter: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!!!"
Yeah, MoonRiver. Me too! I'm still freaking!
I won't calm down til I see a LEAD, and an ever-increasing lead at that. And we need that Attorney General's job filled by one of ours, too!
Welcome to DU, hooverville29~
Glad you're here! Your question is good. McAuliffe is damaged goods. But YEEEKS he's BEYOND better than the alternative! The alternative, in Virginia, is "Hello 6th Century!" HORRIFYING to me to see that it's still this close. It should be a slam-dunk.
Howard Dean wouldn't have made that mistake.
I miss him! SO underwhelmed by Debbie. I fell out of love with her fairly quickly. My husband remained a huge fan until just recently, when he heard her comment, during the government shutdown, that she wouldn't give up her paycheck during the crisis. Others certainly did. That was enough to turn him against her.
Hope so! Nervous about the Attorney General position though.
To make ANY kind of statement and really kick the baggers in the teeth it needs to be a sweep. We need that talking point!
You're in the five-digit club now! Congrats!
Glad you're here! I don't know what I'd do without DU, either!
Welcome to DU, riversedge!
Glad you're here! "The little mind"!!! 
I call him the Kentucky Pipsqueak. PHONY-ASS Kentucky Pipsqueak.
And of course they're in favor of a woman's right to choose, 'eh?
"...and invasions of our personal freedoms..."
