If HH hangs on, Mitch will need to measure a new spot for a smaller set of drapes. Good to see that things are looking up elsewhere, particularly with the other red state Dems and pickup chances with NV and AZ (and hey, even TN and TX as well??).

The Reps changed the rules, we can use that to do all sorts of things that will help the country. Trump won't sign a thing, but that won't stop us from turning the screws on him every day.

Please allow whoever came up with 41% to make the betting lines on everything. It's not even close. The mathematical models generally are between 18-24%, which is still a nice uptick but we would basically have to gain 3 points apiece in a half dozen races to reach 41%
