This might be the last time you hear from me

  I’ve been having trouble sleeping, folks. It always happens this close to an election. I’m worried that we didn’t do enough to combat Mitch McConnell’s barrage of attacks. I’m worried that his last-minute ad blitz took a toll on our campaign and we might not have the time to fight b…
