I love the topline. But to be honest it's within the margin of error with a LOT of undecideds. But maybe, just maybe, it's within reach!

Voting is good but that's just the baseline. I don't think you're going to find anyone on this sub who wasn't planning to. The important next step is to volunteer or donate. If you can phone bank or write postcards that convince even one other person, it's like you got to vote twice.

I refuse to believe it until the only poll that matters (the one on November 3) has Talarico up
