1. I guess that's good;

is he using it wisely?

2. It Has To Translate To Votes

Otherwise we're in real trouble. Youngkin would turn Virginia from a moderate, purple-trending-blue state into a smaller version of Texas.

If you live in Virginia, please vote, if you haven't already. It's the most important race this year...and that's not hyperbole.

4. Does this mean I'll stop getting hit up for more money?

I must get about 10 text or email message A DAY from Virginia Democrats, all with a “Woe is us!” messaging asking for more and more money.

That plus more from out of state D’s running for office.

I’ve about “Had it!!!”
