5. You might remember Lee Terry

During sequester/shutdown, when many elected officials offered to go without pay, Terry said he couldn't do it, because he has a nice house and a kid in college.

I'm willing to bet the government employees at Stratcom haven't forgotten that, since they had trouble paying their mortgages and supporting their own kids during that timeframe.

I hope he loses.

3. Ashford's the Democrat.

I had to Google it, and on an iPhone I really fucking hate to reload my Safari cache.

4. Ashford is the Democrat.

He might be the only Democrat to win in Nebraska.

Strange, because raising the minimum wage, a strong Democratic issue, is passing by a huge margin.

6. My guess is, if you put an (R) next to the No or a (D) next to the Yes

It would have failed
