The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.

it's those people in the media like the totally real and in no way made up reporter bernie bernstein that are making moore seem anti-semitic and not anything he's done or said on the campaign trail.

One other lesson:

Candidate credibility matters.

Jones had a rock solid civil rights record and that helped turn out the AA vote in a big way. He was a candidate who had walked the walk, not just talked th talk.

See also: Danica Roem. She ran on really specific transportation issues that locals obviously cared about, her opponent just ran on "gently caress them gays and tran people."

Dems have to play a lot of defense in 2018. I really hope they have the stomach for it.

if the dems can hold on to the states they picked up in 2012, AND pick up dean heller's seat in nevada and jeff flake's open seat in arizona, that's control of the senate.

like you said, the 2018 map is an uphill battle for democrats, because even if they somehow pulled off a goddamn miracle and won literally every single seat up for grabs, that'd still only leave them with 56 senate seats, with 44 republican seats not up for grabs at all.
