    Poster here back in the day. Good guy; long-time friend of mine. His handle was "PCM".

      That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        Sic, was it you or Patrick who posted "The List" each week?

          Ever since I started here it was The Sica, but I was told that he assumed the duties from another poster.

            Guilty.

            I originated it and turned it over to someone, but I don't remember the name.

                  It was a good thread--a ritual around here.

                    I don’t know about that. Like five posts a week was a good week for years. Even during the heyday.

                      No, you weren't here in the thread's heyday. It would grow for a number of pages each week.

                        Yeah The List was the thread that brought me to the cafe.

                          Special election today in AZ. Multi term incumbent R Lesko vs. surgeon D Tipirneni. Lesko has all the advantages...this will severely test the status of the blue wave.

                            It's a wave, not a tsunami.

                              I'm not as sold on every special election being a litmus test as some are. At least some of these districts have to have been gerrymandered by the right, and won't flip (see: Ossoff in GA).

                                I'd say there's a definitive pattern here. Forget about 2016 - Dem candidates in races across the country are outperforming Obama in 2012. Now that doesn't mean +20 GOP seats are all going to flip (although the PA one did) but any Gooper sitting in a +10 GOP seat should have a big target on his/her back including people once thought to be safe...
