How is DU feeling about the Big 5 elections in NYC, NJ, VA, PA and CA in two weeks?

Will we sweep all?

Or, if loose all, will we know the fix is in and we should pack it up?

1. Not Going To "Pack it In"

I will never stop fighting. Admittedly, retirement outside of the US is tempting. But too many people (and cats) depend on me and my husband.

4. GD right DSW......NEVER give up

we've got them on the run as close to 8 million people in the protests last weekend proved. I'm confident about the elections in 2 weeks and think we could sweep them all actually. Some good news to talk about thankfully....a nice distraction from tOrange stain's daily BS

5. Words To Live By

From one of the defining movies of my teenage years:

Bluto: What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!...[He runs to the front door but no one follows him]...

Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight 'em with conventional weapons. That could take years and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part. We're just the guys to do it...LET'S DO IT!

7. We took three dogs and two kittys to Mexico eleven years ago.

All of us have been living wonderful lives here.

2. VA - feeling pretty good about Abbie. Jones AG is probably toast

Jones should have dropped out. He put Abbie in a very tough spot but she stood there at the debate and took it.

Hashmi for LG seems like a lock. Her opponent (nepo) Reid actually held a debate without Hashmi last night. It was an AI of her. He can’t raise any money hardly. Seems as nepo as he is, Va GOP types won’t give money to a gay guy.

3. Not gonna quit...

But we need a No Kings-like massive turnout to overcome the systemic and covert efforts to suppress us.

But I am feeling cautiously optimistic.

6. Well, if the government shutdown is still on going, I predict a sweep.
