1. Thats great news!

even if he loses, he will be back, like a bad rash. The guy just will not go away! I think Murray should use that, portray him as a power hungry, "I just want to be elected to SOMETHING" guy.

2. Ya think?

Not meaning to be snarky, but yeah, the tired "forecasting" of what's going to happen in November by a popular media more interested in unicorn races than reality is unnecessarily alarmist, and unfortunately they dupe a lot of otherwise canny people. In the next six weeks, Democratic voters will coalesce around their candidates, and return a number of them to office in November even though their political obituaries had been published in July and August.

My major concern is that too many Democrats will see their re-election as voter endorsement of their more timid and tepid "bipartisan" compromising, rather than as a call to get with the program and get working in earnest to make the system work for more people (those people being the ones who just granted them another term in office).

3. I kinda don't hate Rossi...

In the gubernatorial election, it was his "Democratic" opponent that supported throwing people in jail for playing poker on the Internet and he who advocated for civil liberties (which is actually kind of odd...He's a YEC, and YECs are almost always anti-freedom)...Still. He's a thug.
