Feeling great about Gillum’s chances in this race! And if Bill Nelson pulls out a victory as well he will have Gillum to thank. That should be his first phone call.

We know, we know, if the candidate isn't deepthroating Trump, they're not gonna win...

I can't believe I miss Scott. Jeez.

Natalie: You know what bluedogs, I'm confident enough in Gillum to make a bet; if DeSantis wins (he won't) I'll leave this site, but if Gillum wins you have to leave
Now we know how this would've turned out.

I live in a crappier state now but I can't dispute that.

At least my vote flipped my local congressional district.
