I thought we were talking about federal elections.
Thanks for moving those goal posts for me. I needed practice getting a little more leg into it.
You want to do this at the federal level? No party affiliation?
I think that's the most naive thing I've heard all week.
And it's been a stupid week.
Hillary and Co. don't know what "fair" means... They love playing with stacked decks each and every hand...
