Win or lose, Doug Jones has run a helluva campaign

I was unaware of who he was before this campaign started, but I have enjoyed getting to know Jones a little bit over the last couple of months. He seems like a genuinely decent man running for the right reasons. I am happy to have supported him, including a small donation to his campaign. Also a big thank you to all those who have worked hard for Jones on the ground in Alabama.

Good luck, Doug!

Sigh...Mark Dayton just doesn't get it

This is part of a story written about how he will fill Franken's seat. My question is, if the shoe was on the other foot, would a GOP governor offer the Dems the same golden opportunity? Fat chance. This is why we are doormats.


"On Wednesday night, high-ranking Minnesota Democratic sources said the governor was likely to appoint Lt. Gov. Tina Smith, someone who would not run for the seat permanently. That would give both parties equal time to mount campaigns for the historic election next November in which both Senate seats would be on the line."

Gloria Borger is a terrible human being

On CNN shitting on and parsing all of Al's words. She is such a fucking rain cloud of misery.

How will we spend our fancy new moral high ground political capital?

Oh wait, there won't be any.

Frustrated high school teacher lashes out at Senate Dems

Is Mark Dayton already hamstringing our chances to hold on to Frankens seat?

Should Franken resign Steve Kornacki on MSNBC reports he will appoint a caretaker who will agree not to run in the November 2018 special election for the remaining 2 years of Franken’s term.

My question: why?

Ice cream.

That is all.

Voters will draw a distinction, and reward Dems for taking moral stance on Franken, abuse

I will be glad when Tweetys RFK book promotion is done.

Nothing against RFK at all but the endless shillling and attempts to run every current event through the RFK filter is tiring.

Yes I know I shouldn’t be watching Tweety.

MSNBC viewing guide: Steve Kornakes body language is a cue tonight

If it looks bad for Dems he will be animated with the customary frenetic arm gyrations. If it’s good he will be more subdued, maybe crestfallen.
