20. I especially hope Heck goes down.

And ANY Congressional seat - I'll take any of 'em.

That recent report from Rachel Maddow that when President Obama leaves office, his next big project involves Democrats coming back at the state level, and taking over state legislatures (and hopefully, some governors' offices). Our side SERIOUSLY dropped the ball on that one, and the CONS were able almost literally to run the table in the state capitols, and lock in state controls - and all the damage that goes with it, from making and passing all kinds of stupid-ass laws, closing down Planned Parenthood clinics, restricting voting rights, fucking with gay rights and marriage equality, and all kinds of shitty stuff. THAT has to change! And the sooner the better!

I've been jumping for joy ever since I heard that report! Thanks, Obama!!!!
