She didn't even have the backing of the CBC. So bizarre.

A vote for a woman at the top of the ticket, switch it up with a man down ticket?

Was Van Hollen always favored? I would have much preferred her but he doesn't have a bad rep, does he?

career was over.

But she came back and clobbered him so badly that the next time, rather than run against her, he retired from politics. He was a slimy, corrupt asshole, too.

Go, Hillary!!!!

But please, from here on out, let's hold people's feet to the fire. I've listened to a few Donna Edwards' interviews. Hell yeah!!! Let's make sure the Senate looks like our party. It's simple. Let's put our money where our backbone is.

but, apparently she or a superpac supporting her put out a Gun Control ad against Van Hollen that was so egregious that even the White House stepped in to condemn it.
