1. They're gonna keep going like this one at a time until

he gets the message I guess. And, if he has no real allegiance to the Dem party and doesn't care who wins he may just stay in. What a debacle.

5. Well...

The state party officials have demanded he step aside. Not going to go well for him by the end of the day tomorrow.

Mills would have won it easily if he was not in the race so I suspect she might become the candidate yet.

All is not lost, yet. I think he'll be pressured to end it more intensely with each passing hour.

11. I wonder if Schumer has asked people closer to him

Ato privately try to persuade him. I would have thought kohanna or Bernie.

2. Deja vu. N/T

[rzemanfl]

3. Collins would have just said she was "concerned." Schumer and Gillibrand are so decisive, I guess....

4. Well, how many now? A dozen? Grave diggers may as well toss in the dirt to cover him at this point...

Whew... Somewhere I'm sure a certain 'very concerned' R incumbent opponent is tap dancing with joy.

No. I 'm not defending him at all--merely a wry observation on how quickly this devolved.

[2naSalit]

8. Actually...

I think that certain concerned individual was tap dancing when he won the primary. I think that if Mills becomes the candidate, that certain individual will be sweating bullets.

Just my opinion, of course.

13. While I agree with her excitement over the prospect after the primary, I think she will assume

whoever replaces him will be tarred with the lingering "scandal" and claimed "coverup."

I do agree that Mills, being female--no matter what some will argue about her age or anything else--might well be the hardest to smear...

6. This is why we cant have universal health care.

The ratfucking continues.

[woodsprite]

7. Ever since the Al Franken debacle, whenever Gillibrand talks it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher to me. nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. Is that true of Sanders, Warren,

Harris and the other over 30 Senators who called for Franken's resignation on the same day?

[JustAnotherGen]

10. I'd like to note

That he was NOT the *establishment* candidate.

For the record -Mills had Schmidt's full throated support until she dropped out of the race.

12. What did I miss?

Was there more dirt on Platner - other than the tat?
