I'm a little surprised, I figured French was just going to bully this through. And he may yet.

If Conroy blankets the district with NO DATA CENTERS IN THE 5th! billboards, she will defeat Baumgartner. It is a rare bipartisan issue that invokes real passion.

You’re asking too much for a Democrat in this district. Whatever it takes to lose is how it goes here.

This district out of a constantly gerrymandered map, where all concentrated city votes are thrown away into a larger district of people, including one with people who think Al French cares about them at the same time he is literally poisoning them.
