probably because of being Jewish in the deep south, is my guess. This will give him more time to win over his constituents.

Warnock is not going to have any trouble. He's like a rock star.

Finally in control again. Now, let's get some bills passed that actually help people and some sane judges installed.

Because as fickle and misinformed as the American public is, we don't know how long this will last.
