percentage as the gods & goddesses allow, and let's definitely defeat Joe Heck as well in that U.S. Senate race.

Heck is politically abominable. Also I don't like that white "Pence wave" in his hair. And did I mention that he is politically abominable?

Masto was a fantastic AG, the first to sue the banks after the financial crisis and the last to compromise. I just hope that the Clinton votes translate to Masto votes.

Have you seen Heck's ads? They are straight from the Karl Rove playbook: hit the opponent on their strengths. He's bashing her biggest successes.

does, but he's the one in that Nevada Senate race. I want us to retain that seat. I want it to stay blue pretty much forever. And our candidate is strictly top-drawer.

C'mon, Nevada voters!

She is so capable and he is such a scoundrel. I don't care for modern-day Republicans generally, but there are a handful that are just deeply repellent.

For me, Joe Heck is in that latter group.

organizations goes full-tilt in her behalf. And I hope a hell of a lot of younger people have been volunteering for her and can form the next generation of blue voters.

In the short-term, they would be helping to electing a truly qualified U.S. Senator and in the long-term, they would stand a pretty good chance of meeting each other and forming lasting bonds and friendships.

A lot of good things can come from supporting a good Senate candidate.

A lot of us will be watching this Nevada race very closely on election night.

Rather than shying away from her faults (of course the emails came up, etc, etc; it's all they have).

You can watch it online here if you want: https://www.c-span.org/video/?416810-1/nevada-senate-debate

Don't worry about the crowd being somewhat in Heck's favor at time, Trump supporters are just more loud and disrespectful.

try to come back to it this evening when I can watch it without interruption.

Crossing all fingers for Catherine Cortez Masto in this one. Only wish I had a few more fingers to cross.
