@HowardMortman This was also the very first time 2 African American / Black candidates faced off for a U.S. Senate seat!

In historical terms, and tying back to Maine, Sen. Margaret Chase Smith had a female Democratic opponent in either 1960 / 1966, and was the first contest featuring 2 women!

@HowardMortman So Susan Collins will be elected president in 2028?

[Lex Concord @carlsson808]

@HowardMortman I mean…22 years ago… in dark blue IL…and Barack Obama

[Howard Mortman @HowardMortman]

Another instance when a major party replaced its U.S. Senate nominee? 2004 Illinois.
Republican nominee Jack Ryan dropped out after ex-wife accusations that he had taken her to sex clubs.
Ryan was replaced by Alan Keyes.
Alan Keyes lost by 43 points to Barack Obama.

Comms Dir reminds us when Antonin Scalia smoked a pipe and cleaned it mid-hearing. Wait for the punch line: It was MARLBORO vs Madison!

@RGreggHart @HowardMortman @cspan Deepest thanks, Gregg. Honored you read them and thrilled you enjoyed them.

[James Rosen @JamesRosenTV]

I suppose any author conceited or delusional enough to imagine he has three volumes' worth of things to say about his subject -- even one as worthy as Antonin Scalia -- warrants two episodes of "Extreme Mortman," with the legendary @HowardMortman of @cspan...Enjoy Episode # 2 below!
