Those white racists are party loyalists when it comes down to it. The supporters of tomorrow's loser will back tomorrow's winner against Jones.

Breaking 40% would be an accomplishment in my book.

However it is possible he might set the table for a Democrat to win a future statewide office. He is the first statewide candidate that has had a pulse in a long time.

wins since you may be able to exploit that in other parts of the country to get fence sitters to vote Democrat.

He will offer six years of horrifying entertainment.

I think the voting records of both will be about the same, and Strange would be a more effective legislator.

The Democrat stands no chance.
