And on this I definitely agree -

I suspect pollsters are questioning, if not tossing, their mid-term models that have the African-American turn-out, (historically) low, as there is no question that the (Mississippi) Black vote is engaged, informed and acting strategically.

They have had a lot of challenges thrown up against them in Mississippi. If they will get out there and 'disrupt' - who else will get out there and 'disrupt'.

One thing that's going to work for us in NJ this year is that we won't have to back to back (with a few weeks of each other) major elections.

We've only got one day this year - and Booker is a shoe in. We get folks ramped up to vote for him again - and get them to pull a D in the House races - and we can disrupt.

Imagine if we could just take a handful of seats from R's-House in the North East - it's a good start right?
