My audience knows if you've been following the show for some time that I avoid being overly

optimistic or pessimistic about any particular election, and I always make clear that no matter

what the polls tell us today, the only thing we can control is whether we vote and we should

always vote. In that context, in the last week, there are a bunch of races that are going very

Or stay in their hands, I think better said. In Georgia, again, talking about the best democratic

performances this cycle, Stacey Abrams was one of them facing off against incumbent Republican

governor Brian Kemp. What had been as you can see if we go back actually, I don't, I do have
