I mean, Amash is an actual libertarian of the not just window dressing on racism kind. He has his own set of principles, they're just largely horrific in most other respects.

The Ing thing speaks to three things imo: his campaign sadly never had any real momentum, Ed Case had the name recognition and money factor, and this is maybe less of a factor, that the collapse of the Hawaii Republican party probably led to an influx of conservative primary voters like in California.

The forums will be paid for by a glut of DNC and DCCC plants just buying titles and avatars for one another.

Ok, now I'm a bit skeptical. I get it, she says it's traumatizing, but she earlier claimed she misplaced it.

Efficacy aside, the historical data they provide alongside the model is fun; showing a nearly unbroken string of Dem controlled House till 1994. I WONDER WHY THEY SUDDENLY LOST THE HOUSE IN 94 TRULY IT IS A MYSTERY.

Democrats ran against Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression for 40 years, even after they stopped doing it in anything but name, then ol Bubba gets in the White House because Ross Perot managed to siphon 20% of the vote from Bush. Behold! Triangulation! The winning strategy forever more!

At this point I think Bresden has a better chance than Nelson.

I don't disagree, but Bill Nelson is somehow more incompetent than I thought possible. Florida Dems are a breed apart.

I'm still inclined to believe Keith, if only because he doesn't strike me as the kind of politician to dig a deeper hole. But I might just be projecting.

quote:

Ellison spoke to CBS Minnesota about the allegations.

"I'm mortified, absolutely stunned that she would say this," he said.

When asked if he ever dragged Monahan, Ellison said "no, absolutely not."

He also said there "couldn't be such a thing" as a video "because I never did that."

Maybe Keith is a sexpest, maybe he just has bad breakups. Wish I could be objective in my assessment.

Lenin wasn't a sexpest. Lenin was instrumental in mobilizing women to join the workforce and equalizing their status in Russia.

Be more like Lenin.

Also expanding the Chekists into the NKVD. But no need to do everything the same.

I mean, frankly, 36% while being outspent 500-1 in a state whose primary economic outlet is tax evasion isn't bad, especially for a statewide office for a first time candidate against a 4 time incumbent. I'd rather the revolution happen tomorrow, certainly, if but for the sake of the planet, but I think you guys forget that the fear of the Tea Party was in the threat of a primary, not necessarily losing said primary.

I mean, as quixotic as O'Rourke's crusade against the blob fish senator may have ultimately been, I'm pretty certain a bunch of newly elected local and federal TX dems rode his coattails hard. So yeah, good for his milquetoast rear end.
