22. 3 other big refusals were Bullock in MT (huge, he is the only Dem who would be favoured over Daines)

Hickenlooper in CO (not so bad, we still should take it), and Susan Rice in ME (hopefully one of the other 2 leading potential women can take out Concerned Collins).

MJ Hegar just might surprise us all in Texas, but even Beto or Castro would probably go down versus Cornyn. Cornyn is not Cruz, he is very popular with Rethugs. Beto's political career probably would have been killed off with 2 losses in 2 years, so I can see why he declined it.

I think one of 3 things will happen with Abrams.

1 She jumps in the race for POTUS (she has to do it soon, and I think that if Biden stays in his 32% to 38% range, Bernie falls further, and no other candidate goes above 15%, she just might)

2 She ends up VP (very possible with Biden, as she brings more states into play than Harris or Booker or Warren, etc. I do not buy into the 'Beto can deliver Texas' angle.)

3 She is going to wait until 2022 and go for a re-match for GA governor (and maybe would take a Cabinet post in the interim)
