Look at Georgia. They did it right. Odds were steep of another 2 TeapubliKKKan Senators, yet we beat that system, and, with vigilance, we can do it again. We all play a part!

Democratic as I always do...it is a maybe this year. Tim Rya has a shot. I don't see many seats that we can win maybe a couple and we could lose some too.
