It's clear that if the Senate seats up were 50/50 D/R

the Senate would be in Democratic hands. Beyond the favorable Party ratio of Senators running and a year when the most vulnerable Dems were up, we must include voter suppression in many States.
And now we have a run off in Miss. of all places and a possibility that both AZ and FL have Dem victories.

Maybe not a Waimea size wave, but a nicely formed ride-able wave. (surfer talk)

OMG. That might make all the difference. But I'll wait to be the least bit happy.

in some crucial cases. That makes me hopeful. I've been so filled with dread, I scheduled a surgery for 5am on the 7th and have stayed fairly comatose for the past few days, so this is a reason to be back with the living.
THanks for the news.
