11. Give me the bad news first.

The bad news is that this race will indeed cost us more than we want to spend on it, and it is vital that we hold it. Like Texas with us in recent years, even if we didn't win the seat, it cost the Republicans a fortune to hold it, and I'm sure that is exactly how the Republicans see this one.

The good news is that this remains an absolutely winnable seat for us. The gender and race of a Senate candidate is not as big a deal in a state like Maryland as it once was. The Republicans will drop their subtle hints in friendly districts, but this race will be won in Baltimore, Annapolis and the Washington suburbs, where racism doesn't play well.
