2. I know...sad day

Last night, I was feeling a bit optimistic after hearing that Mark White's son running. Although, Andrew White may be a moderate R who decided to run as a Dem, I feel he has a chance to win. I feel that he may have run as a Dem due to the fact that a moderate R would sink in the primaries.

Then today and this....
