Wooot, my number 1 Senate want is going to happen! Bullock in MT

I wrote his office 6 or 7 times ever since he dropped out, and they replied most times.

Montana's Steve Bullock planning to run for Senate

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/04/politics/steve-bullock-montana-senate/index.html


now to get my number 2 want

Kathleen Sebelius

to reverse and run for that OPEN seat in KS.

The major media in the state said she is the only Dem who can win, and if she runs, she will win.

also

Sally Yates needs to run in the 2020 United States Senate special election in Georgia (the other GA Senate seat election we have covered) against the now-serving White Power Barbie Kelly Loeffler or uber scum Trump bootlicker Doug Collins

finally,

still holding out hope in Tennessee, another open seat, where I so hope Tim McGraw (yes the superstar singer, who said for years he would run when he was 50, and he is 52 now) changes his mind and runs!


I will soon do an update of all 13 remotely flippable seats

making a lot of noise about needing some help flipping Daines' seat out here. This could ruffle some feathers because we already have five candidates who filed a while ago. Bullock would be the best of them all though. He's been a good governor and has done a lot while trying to maneuver around a staunchly R legislative branch and his AG is one too. AG is elected separately in MT.

So, much like Sen. Tester, he has the ability to be fair and work with the other side when the other side is being reasonable. He's accomplished good things for an impoverished state with tons of natural resources and few people and several Indian Reservations. He'll be good. I was all for it until he explained why he wasn't going to run. But if he's going to do it, I'll definitely get behind that. He'd be one more D in the Senate who would actually do something of worth.

And if he does win that seat, I don't want to hear any more griping about how we have two Senators for a small population state. Actually, I don't want to hear any more of that nonsense at all.

I hear tonight that he's conferring with family. A family member of mine is high school friend of Bullock.

I am sure they will figure it out. Now that a lot of national fuss has been made about it, the pressure is on.

Looks like the Dems are coming in full force with good people with talent. Increase their numbers for sure, especially in the South now that Joe Biden is going to sweep up there.

top of the ticket and a great VP like Stacey Abrams) at 60% for flipping at least 6 (and maybe as high as 10!) of the 13 remotely flippable seats, and thus have at least a 52-48 MAJORITY (Jones will lose unfortunately in AL to Tuberville or the old evil elf Sessions.)

I gave up on Susan Rice running in Maine, but I do think Sara Gideon can beat that piece of SHIT, Susan 'Concern Troll' Collins.
