Regardless of the side of the issue, any issue, I am absolutely not supportive of people like this knowingly showing up at the private homes of elected officials. Harass and ambush them at work or in public all you'd like, but homes really should be off limits.

There's kind of a low 40's floor for decent, funded statewide Democrats in Alabama. Jones certainly won't lose by 30 points. But I'd be surprised to see him finish with less than 40-43%.

With Loeffler, 3 of the last 4 GOP women sent to the US Senate were appointed rather than elected. If you can't elect'em, appoint'em.

As a Democrat who doesn't automatically disqualify other Democrats just because they are not progressives in a conservative district, I would encourage Shuler to run again for his old seat.

This may end up being a repeat of the special election primary in Kansas in 1996 where the Governor's handpicked appointee gets successfully primaried by a more conservative, flame-throwing white male congressman.

The endorsement here of Northam for Marshall is disingenuous. It is based on an off the cuff remark Northam made while speaking at an official function. At no time did he or his office offer an official endorsement and neither did he explicitly say he endorses Marshall for reelection, if fact his office later confirmed he supports all Democrats on the ballot. The link for the endorsement is from Stamps' Twitter account. I really think the endorsement should be deleted.

African-American voters may very likely be his saving grace for a second term. They are about 4-5% more of the total vote in the run-off than the primary.

Part of JBE's problem is that voters in blue states are far more willing to vote for a governor from the opposite party than southern red states. JBE is posting an approval rating in mid-to-low 50s and has towed a pretty conservative line, minus a few issues like medicaid expansion, and the main anchor around his neck is still party label more than anything else.

The great thing about candidates like McGrath, Abrams, Beto, etc., is that although they may not prove victorious in their own respective races, they still help to generate turnout and enthusiasm which helps Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in each of these states to varying degrees.

Bernie Campaign, July 2039: We blame the media for Bernie's failing primary campaign. They keep reminding voters that he is dead while simultaneously reminding voters the other candidates are alive. This type of entrenched, systemic media rigging is what our campaign has been fighting for the past 23 years.

Considering in 2016 not a single state voted for a presidential candidate/senate candidate from opposing parties, this new trend of down ballot sweeps will only likely be more cemented in heavily partisan states like Kentucky.
