General Discussion

Even so, I don't mess around with campaigns in other states. I focus on Presidential campaigns, mostly. I keep watch on the House and Senate, of course, but rely on the citizens of each state and district to elect their own folks. Sometimes, I despair of some states, but I sure can't affect them.

Sometimes there's a candidate who might flip a seat. Then, I'm interested, but only to see if he or she can win if he or she is a Democrat. If there's a chance for a Democrat to flip a seat, I'm all for it, even if that candidate isn't one I'd support in my own state. That could be the situation in Maine, but I have no influence there so I stay out of it. I hope a Democrat wins, though.

We had a similar thing here in Minnesota with a Senator. It seem like he had some sort of sexual assault thing, maybe, maybe not. But, he got ridden out of office by folks who don't live here. We'd have kept him, but he got hounded until he resigned. Maybe you remember him. I saw the videos. He never touched that woman at that USO show. He was joking around, pretty obviously. But he got driven out of office. What a shame. And by people who pretended to be on our side. You remember Al Franken, right? Ugly shit, that was, indeed. Costly, too.

So, you see, I'm familiar with that sort of thing. I didn't like it here, so I don't do it there.
