Klobuchar & John Carney Lost the Debate

Wow. Klobuchar was terrible. If the world made sense, she’d see the light and drop out today. Who won?

The New Castle Country Democratic Party was one of the winners. They got a nice turnout for the debate watch party, signed up a bunch of people who are champing at the bit to start working to replace Republicans and shit-ass Democrats like John Carney.

Things I’m hoping to see at tomorrow night’s debate watching party

At Autumn Arch Brewery tomorrow, I’d be looking for two things. 1) Some DL peeps I’ve never met face to face.
