to overcome, simply because we have to have PERFECT candidates, PERFECT campaigns, and the PERFECT political winds.

For some reason, I'm optimistic about the House. The special election in KS that went from a 30 point loss in November to about a 7 point loss in February, and Ossoff's showing in GA-06 so far, make me think that the tide is turning and that we can win enough seats there to get it back with the right candidates in the right places. I just don't see the Senate, though. PROVE ME WRONG, AMERICA (about the Senate, not the House)!
