If a black man can win the Mississippi senate, a black woman can win Georgia Governor and a black woman can be Vice President

A BLACK WOMAN CAN BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The power is with the people, and the people of Mississippi are with Scott.

@scott_colom makes history today as the first Black senator elected in Mississippi since Reconstruction. I saw firsthand when campaigning with him in his hometown that he is a brilliant leader and dedicated public servant who will work tirelessly to serve every Mississippian with pride.

Congratulations, Scott.

CNN: @scott_colom (D-MS) has been elected to the United States Senate. He’ll be the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Mississippi since 1982, and the first African American from Mississippi elected to the Senate in 152 years.

This is the only list that matters for the purposes of a primary btw, if we’re talking about something so porous as favorability.

It has never been more clear that the people need a new party. This is unacceptable.

Baby… Kamala Harris is WORKING those phone lines, okay?!

@virtueemoir29 That pledge made all of it unintelligent.

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

I don't think it's all that complicated.

He's preparing to go if Harris opts out.

The question remains, what will he do if Harris gets in?

I don't think it's a read on what he thinks she's going to do. I think it's a matter of preparing for eventualities.

[GirlWithBalloon @GypsyZuls]

@virtueemoir29 @VeryGewd @AhavatHaEmet Idk why Newsom keeps saying he won’t run if she does, but this doesn’t look like someone who’s sitting it out.

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

@GypsyZuls :( unfortunately.

I might keep a side tally during this quiet period, but it's probably more conducive to put it away until we know what's up.

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

I'm temporarily retiring the polling tracker until the spring and we know who is in and out.

It's time.

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

Kamala Harris: 67/79 = 84.81%
Gavin Newsom: 6/79 = 7.59%
Pete Buttigieg: 5/79 = 6.33%
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 1/79 = 1.27%

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

And 30, 32, 34, and likely 36.

Like on the one hand, I guess I understand the argument that *sometimes* in politics, moments happen.

But on the other hand, I have a hard time believe that this is 39 year old Jon Ossoff's one moment. That's... something.

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

I’m not even going to rag on the people that came in here to tell me that they genuinely think that the next cycle is his one and only shot. I have no idea where that thinking came from, but they seem earnest enough about the idea that I can’t even get mad at it.

I’ll only say, assuming that line of thinking is correct, if his heart isn’t in it, it’s probably best he stays away, no?

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

I keep saying, Jon has a very young family. And he’s very young himself. There will be other cycles.

Is anyone really going to tell me that this is his only shot?

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

@DamixBP oh my gosh

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

@DamixBP you know what I meant, they're just fixated on him, as they will be on the next person when Jon makes it clear that he's staying out. The tell is that 90% of these people won't immediatly flock to Warnock.

[VeryGood @VeryGewd]

@DamixBP You'd think, but she's not as cool as Jon to these people.
