Nov 2022

I have been recently beaten down by the MSM "conventional wisdom", and have spent too much time reading and viewing the MSM all through this cycle... and that depressed me for a while

but I will say this--- looking at the actual early voting data, I don't see any "red wave" coming here--

if the polls are actually accurate, it would seem to be a very close slugfest--

but my best hope is that newly registered women, who won't be included in polls of "likely voters", will carry the day... and shame the pundits!!!

Crossing my fingers and toes... and my votes are already in the bank!
