There was a good deal of money. Just there weren't any appearances. That was mostly at Espy's request, because he's right any Democratic appearance would probably have hurt him

I am so disappointed in the result, but heartened by the slow change beginning even in MS.

Stay strong, Dems! Keep on believing!
