2020 Senate Map

Oh, stop. You can’t fake charisma the way you say. Now, one on one, he may be a bit more reserved. Clinton is also a sexual predator who used his charisma for improprieties with women (and probably even assault). There is a difference between Barry & Bubba, and I have no issue with someone who is an extroverted introvert.

Ever meet President Obama in person? His charisma is 100% television or speech/podium generated. If 100 people were in a room with him and President Clinton and each had to sway the group to their side, President Clinton pulls 100 his way every time. There is a reason President Obama dined alone more times than any President - he is an introvert. Introverts are not readily charismatic.

Is that why he needed the anger translator?

+1, I really hope he wins that Senate seat! Go Jaime Go!

+100

I have donated $2250 to Jamie Harrison already, I find him really impressive. I hope he sends Lindsay into retirement.

Heck, now I want a national Jamie Harrison/Pete Buttigieg ticket! Like a better version of Clinton/Gore - democrats from conservative states.

I’m poor by dcum standards, but I just donated $10.

Buttigieg has the charisma of a fax machine. If you gave someone over 2,000 and want someone to be President, the least you could do is spell his name correctly.

But I agree. He’s a rockstar and relatively young. This will definitely not be the last time we hear about him.

Finally the money is starting to flow-is it too late?
https://mississippitoday.org/2020/10/04/espy-finally-lands-support-from-national-democrats-in-senate-race-is-it-too-late/

As the national Democratic Party apparatus pumped manpower and money into U.S. Senate races across the country earlier this cycle, Mississippi candidate Mike Espy lamented his campaign was overlooked and neglected, even as he appeared to gain momentum in his challenge of incumbent Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Espy likened his campaign to Mississippi being the unnamed “land mass” in national media hurricane coverage, and said, “They don’t think a Black man in Mississippi can win.”

But all that changed dramatically the past two weeks, as record amounts of money pour into Espy’s campaign in the final stretch before Nov. 3, and the scant polling of the race shows him closing the gap with Hyde-Smith, including a recent one that showed him within just 1 point of the Republican incumbent.

National party leaders and outside groups are perking up to the possibility of a Senate seat flip in one of the reddest states.

“Now the help is coming, and the difference now is, it’s coming in time,” Espy told Mississippi Today this week. “They see it now. Mississippi is just now getting on the radar.”

Espy keeps smashing campaign fundraising records for Democratic statewide candidates. On Thursday alone, he raised more than $700,000. In just the first 48 hours of October, Espy raised $1.35 million, according to a source close to the campaign. For reference, that two-day collection is more than Hyde-Smith had in the bank at the end of June, the most recent report.

James Carville, the veteran Democratic strategist to President Bill Clinton, told Mississippi Today that when he told people earlier this cycle that Espy has a shot at winning, “people’s eyes kind of glazed over.”

“But I think there is increasing interest in the Mississippi Senate race,” said Carville, who spends a good deal of time in Mississippi and has a home in Bay St. Louis. “I think the signals traffic has increased … Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee — of all those hard-red states, Mississippi is one of the best chances of turning one blue. People are starting to wake up to it.”

Democrats are flush with cash. They have expendable $$$ to send Espy's way, and IIRC, The Lincoln Project is also going to be backing him. There is almost a month left, so it isn't too late, IMO.

Interesting that nobody here is talking about NC And,,,, this is only 1 of Cunningham's sexting scandals. There is at least one more.....

Cunningham's sexting scandal broke at the same time as Trump's COVID diagnosis. He can than the president for pushing that off the news.

What are you, a frustrated book editor?

We got the poster's point. Let it go.

Nope. I’m circling the wagons about a mere sexting scandal.

There was a whole separate thread on Cal Cunningham.

After the Access Hollywood tape, who gives an F?

We are so far past caring about two consenting adults doing explicit texting. I think that Stormy Daniels and the $130,000 payoff lowered the bar a lot.

PP cares about this candidate's texts? I'm still pissed about the elected officials who downplayed the virus initially WHILE arranging to make millions or billions off it in insider trading.

THAT is what affectes me personally.
