I still think of her as possibly winning, so didn't include her.

But yes. Stacey Abrams is extraordinary!

He now has a Texas-size army of volunteers and donors at his disposal. He has proven himself plenty in this election, and the turnout he generated was phenomenal.

Too much talent to let sit on the shelf—same with Abrams if she doesn't pull it out.

again. FL is so weird, don't know what Gillum will do, run against Rubio, continue on as Tallahassee mayor? He really impressed me and a lot of other Floridians. Next election when the 170,000 felons whose rights will be automatically restored could make a difference he will be in a stronger position and can replace Rubio?

Both men are very talented and enthusiastic and I look forward to seeing them again.
