Good idea. I'm sort of busy at the moment, but I'll go back and do that tomorrow morning. It will probably actually help a lot.

darth, can you do this?

John Carroll might break some sort of record for oldest Senate nominee by the opposing party, as he's 86!

And I'm not surprised, but Gabbard's primary opponent who got a good bit of press in both local and national, is really doing badly.

WY-AL has got to be the only CD to have its last 3 Representatives all Republican women.

Assuming Lisa Blunt Rochester wins DE-AL in November (very likely), she will be the first woman and the first African-American to represent Delaware in Congress, leaving only Vermont (!!!) and Mississippi as the only states that have yet to send a woman to Congress. Vermont has at least had a female Governor (Miss. hasn't), and has the excuse of having only 3 people to send to Congress (though that didn't hurt MT, ND, SD, WY, and AK, and now Delaware).
