is by the way facing a tough re-election to 'fuck off'...many on this particular thread opine that they won't donate to certain candidates or the Democratic Party...based on the Franken debacle mostly. So funding is always determined by how much money is available. You have good funding, you can take chances on a number of races you couldn't without proper funding...I have seen folks here state they won't support the Democratic Party and then complain bitterly when their special election candidate received little or no funding. You can't have it both ways folks...you can't rage against lobbyist donors and yet refuse to support the Democratic Party because they do things you don't like...and then expect them to manage election miracles...the next step in this tragedy is to wring your hands and call for a complete overhaul of the Democratic Party when we lose. But really some should look in the mirror for the culprit...loyalty my friends. Remember we are trying to stop an abomination called Trump.
