Georgia and Texas will be blue states very soon
When that happens maybe we can finally start getting shit done if Trump hasn't taken over as dictator by then.

(Followed by a bunch of 6 month old polls and a daily kos link from 2019)

1. Arizona and North Dakota may be, as well.
Now that the Dems are getting serious about protecting the rights of First Nations people to vote.

6. We will probably win back Iowa again this year
That will give us some wiggle room if something else doesn't fall our way.

Not sure the DUmmies are following the traditional stages of grief properly.  The past few days they were in full depression mode.

Since the DUmmys' track record as a reverse barometer is asymptotically approaching 100%.  I take this as great news.

Republican wins Texas special election
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/480434-republican-wins-texas-special-election

Texas Republicans will hold a key suburban seat in the state House after their candidate cruised to a surprisingly easy win in the Houston area on Tuesday.

Gary Gates, a businessman who spent nearly $2 million on his own campaign, scored 58 percent of the vote in the runoff election to outpace Eliz Markowitz, a Democrat and an education expert making her second run for office.

Democrats had spent heavily on Markowitz's behalf in a district that seemed to be trending their way. Groups like Forward Majority and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee invested more than $600,000 in her campaign, a startling amount for an election in which the winner would not even get to serve in Austin before the next election in November.

Votes are in and a new District 171 Ga. House representative has been elected

SOUTH Ga. (WALB) - Results are in for the District 171 Georgia House of Representatives seat after Rep. Jay Powell passed away in late November during a legislative retreat.

Joe Campbell (R) has been elected in the special election to fill the seat after the sudden death of Powell. He will now represent Colquitt, Decatur and Mitchell counties in the Georgia House.

Campbell was running against fellow Republican, Tommy Akridge, and Democrat Jewell Howard.

Try again, DUmmies.
