I will not post or read anything about 2016 from now until November.

We may have a steep hill to climb this fall, but if we write this election off, we might lose races we could otherwise pull out of the fire. So at this point, I will not read or write anything about prospective 2016 candidates unless it pertains to helping the 2014 ticket.

by ads for Bruce Rauner, the Rethug candidate for governor here in Illinois. So I'm mailing in my application and when I get my mail ballot I'm voting for Pat Quinn.

More grid lock, more GOP obstruction, 432 thousand attempts to repeal ACA, vetoed bills for every Teapublican crazy you can imagine , little if any chance to replace a supreme court member and a full blown impeachment circus.

After two years of blocking regressive legislation it is the Democrat party that M$M will cast as obstructiveness.
This will have a bad effect on 2016.
Your right, lets concentrate on now.
