New York ping.
I'll have lost all hope for this state if he gets reelected this Tuesday.

Brian Higgins, unfortunately.
Even my dim neighbors think Davis is a nut.
That's a good sign! Hopefully we can keep Reynolds in office.
A retired (Laborers' Local 210) fellow and his wife took a Reynold's sign for their lawn. I doubt this guy has ever voted GOP.
