Aides from all three offices told TPM that the communications staff was in meetings.

“We have to figure out how to work the phrases, ‘Hillary’s emails’, ‘Al Franken’, ‘Fast and Furious’, ‘Benghazi’, and ‘No, you’re Putin’s puppet!’ into each of our offices responses before we can issue them.”

No, no, no! If Jabba the Hutt is a sexual harasser, he needs to go now. (Of course he won’t, because he’s part of the pond scum known as the Roypublican party.)

Agree, but that’s a minority-majority district.

Depending on who wants that challenge, districts like Farenthold’s have to be challenged

No, but he will keep Princess Leia chained at his feet.

This is a relatively decent pickup opportunity despite the PVI. The district may get redrawn because it was gerrymandered and declared unconstitutional. Even if TX GOP is able to stall a redrawing, under the current map it would take a swing of 20k to 30k votes to win it. Given that there is a fairly large hispanic population in this district, I think we could add the voters needed to swing it plus take advantage of the general climate to get more registered Dems out to voe.

I want to dislike the guy. But then the image of him in those pajamas pops into my head and I remember just how damn sexy he is!.

Jaba was a Hutt, not a pig… but the similarities are striking… Animal Farm and Animal House all rolled into one…

Another one down. Does anyone here know of a websote that is keeping track of Republican electeds who are quitting? It may be more than 20 so far.

This is definitely a pickup possibility. He wouldn’t be announcing if any of the party regulars or his consultants told him he might still win. It’s also pretty likely that there are more ugly items waiting to come out, because the disgusting things he’s effectively admitted to are hardly enough to push a republican out of office.
