By any set of standards, the Dems would get blown out of the water during the 22 election cycle. But as Big Jo hisself said, its who counts the votes. Consequently, theyre not really worried except maybe for those who arent in the know. This changes the prognosis on many fronts, but Karl is otherwise safe- this year ahead.

Im also thinking that there is a near certainty that something Dragon-ish or Big Bear-ish blows up, and the Rag Heads arent standing still with their little glow-in-the-dark toys either. Someone else could try to Ban Hammer them. The Vacuum in DC is a veritable invitation.
