Biden's choice for AG

Don't give up a governorship.

Still got my money on Doug Jones if/when he loses. (You can't say *right now* that you'd pick Jones bc he's on the ballot, but he's been down huge in every poll.)

6. Don't think that's on Biden's agenda -- pissing off GOPers for the heck of it.

For the foreseeable future, we won't have progressive legislation without some support from a few GOPers.

but Gov.Cuomo is more presidential than AG. He would be wise with Doug Jones or Sally Yates and put every civil servant Trump forced out to be reinstalled.My nerves are a wreck with all the cheating and threats ect going on.I won't rest until January.

Sally Yates would be incredible and schadenfreude would be Hillary Clinton.

although I lean toward Glenn Kirschner for AG because as an Army prosecutor, he is tough and won't put up with the stalling nonsense typical of Repubs.
