Funny, my dad sang this when I called him before! Happy days indeed!
Not to minimize this very important moment…now the fun and games begin. We get to see how strong ‘our little American experiment in democracy’ is…what ‘we’re made of’.
Meanwhile, let’s all take a deep breath…and then get ready for the battles ahead. Democracy ain’t for sissies.
Absolutely. But a least there’s a glimmer of hope. Let’s make the glimmer a floodlight by doing whatever we can, and I don’t mean just sendingmmoney, to make sure Ossoff and Warnock win in Georgia.
Well put Ted. We must work for the Democratic candidates in Georgia. I already got emails from SEE ABOUT SIGNING up to make calls to Democratic Georgia winners.

All true…and not to be a Debbie Downer at this wonderful moment…not so fast on Healthcare unfortunately, unless both Georgia run-offs go to the Dems.
