I had hoped that my Presidency was going to be for the people and for their best interests, and I'm proud to say that it was. It was an honor serving as this website's President for a year. Zeus, congratulations my friend. I want you to know that I hope there will be a smooth transition of power and will be rooting for you as you become the next President of OurCampaigns.

For the vote of the people will not go silently in the night without a fight. For all men and women are equal and all there voices should be heard if they hold this dear nation and it’s history close to heart. May there love, and loyalty guide then and choose the best among us to lead. For no man or woman can lead us alone if we can not trust their decisions, we must take all voices in order to put the right man. communist, Democrat, or progressive. For to silence one voice would lead to the silencing of all voices

As my last day winds down, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity of being OC President. I know there's not much that comes with it, but I've loved this site since the very first time I logged on. This site is great because of all of you who have contributed countless articles and political data. Much thanks to everyone. And Randy, keep up the great work.

Tierney's primary was always more of a "Tierney underperformed in elections in 2010/12 partly because his wife was convicted of tax fraud" thing than an ideological thing.

Do not add endorsements of politicians from the same party as the candidate for a general election unless the endorsements are of an unusual nature.

I know I shouldn't engage. But, ridiculous arguments deserve dismantling.
(1) The DNC didn't arbitrarily leave people out. They said weeks/months before the first debate that once 20 candidates was reached, the polling criteria would matter more than the fundraising criteria. Most of Gravel's donations were a joke. He is an almost 90-year old man. He wouldn't have become the nominee under any circumstances.
(2) Let's revisit 2016, since this is the source of your DNC conspiracy theory about debates. The DNC held fewer debates, yes. But, the burden is on you to prove that more debates would have helped Bernie. HRC was a more than capable debater (arguably the first debate was one of the best moments of her campaign.) Thus, I don't see how Bernie could have made up a fraction of the votes by being given other debates. Actually, I think it would have hurt (since his tv coverage was the most favorable of any candidate running and hers was the most negative. A debate would have evened the playing field and HRC won most of them.)
3. The polls that were selected for these debates were selected based on accuracy. No Drudge report or youtube comments.
4. As has been mentioned, 10 other candidates have complained about the debate criteria. 2% in a few polls really shouldn't be an impossible standard.

It's optimized to store the winner in the main Race database table so it's a fairly light query to pull the office for a single winner. Trying to pull multi-winner office is SIGNIFICANTLY slower and harder and puts a lot more strain on the database, so I considered this an acceptable limitation.

'96for96th: Is this Glenn R. Davis, Jr.'s dad? It says he retired in Virginia...
Not likely as the Virginia Davis is Glenn Ray Davis and this is Glenn Robert Davis. [Link] [Link] If the later link is who you were thinking of.
And the Congressman Davis was buried back in in Wisconsin. [Link]

So, I attended the candidate forum for the Democratic party last night.
Rebecca Leser was probably the best are getting her point across and I definitely think that she has a chance at the nom,especially considering she is the chair of York/Poquoson Dems and probably has a lot of connections.
Downey was also a decent public speaker. Made some good points about why he has the best chance of beating Pogge. He currently has so much more money on hand than anyone else, that I think it is his to lose.
Mayfield. I'm not really sure why is he is running. He doesn't seem to have a very good political grasp and understanding of what the issues are. I also felt that he wasn't really a strong public speaker and wasn't very prepared.

In the politically polarized environment of today, 2019 will be an interesting case study. In Kentucky an unpopular GOP incumbent is running for reelection, while in Mississippi the popular Democrat AG is running for governor, and in Louisiana a popular democrat is running for reelection.

Edwards is certainly in a very good position, but I would agree with Brent that it is far from over. John Bel has his popularity during his first term to help him, along with popular policies like teacher pay raises. However, it's still Louisiana and you shouldn't count out the GOP. Given the poll from LJR also mentioned name recognition further in and that both Rispone and Abraham happen to be hovering right around 50% compared to John Bel's near universal recognition, I'd say it's possible he gets to 50%+1...and I wouldn't say he's the underdog in a runoff thus far. I don't think either of the GOP are very strong candidates...everyone thought Vitter was a shoe-in...until the runoff, so anything is possible down there

I know I had said this before, but just want to again thank those who voted for me last August and I'm so glad to be an active member and President of OurCampaigns, even if it's just a title. Randy has done such an amazing job with this website and without him, this wouldn't be here. Also want to thank those who contribute daily to the well being of this website to continually make it better, it's very much appreciated!

RP: Making the rounds on the right-wing sites:
This AOC thing is ridiculous on both sides. It is ridiculous that the conservative movement has morphed into ceitiquing high school dance videos.
Both sides need to grow up and ignore this stupidity.

I am a very progressive Democrat. But I am also very torn on 2020. Part of me wants a truly progressive nominee. The other part just wants someone who can defeat Trump. Part of me wants a younger, generational nominee like in 92 and 08, but then part of me just likes Uncle Joe Biden on a very personal level.

The alphabetical ordering by state for the first round made logical sense given the limitation in number of choices, but at least for the 2nd group of 25 it made me have to really consider my vote.
Glad we are down to a more manageable grouping of choice.

one of the closer races of the night and didn't get much attention beforehand.
the counties around Charleston swung Dem without going to Smith, so that'd be something to watch in the near future.
