1. That's pretty scary it was this close.

I get it's a more conservative council district but it really hits home the fact that Republicans can still compete even when they're crazy and open about their racism. It's why people who are cheering on the crazies winning primaries in like Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states for the senate need to be careful because it's clear we're in a new political world where these guys are viable.

If this environment existed in 2012, we would have likely lost senate seats in Indiana and Missouri, two seats we liked won solely because the Republicans put up extreme candidates.
