Note from a Florida operative has me feeling better, especially about the State Senate
A brief online conversation I had with the operative about continued donations:
Me:
Should I abandon Florida or is there still hope for the legislative candidates?
Operative:
There's a twinkling of hope... luckily, Kayser won so the state Senate is still in play (SD 8, SD 16, SD 18, SD 22 are all good candidates against weaker GOP Sens.) I just don't know about Gillum, though... Tally City hall has problems (he's not implicated... so far). With a Trump acolyte as the GOP pick, it could be a 2016 repeat or it could be a blue wave -- turnout WAS way up for dems so that is a good sign.
