You are probably right but I like to think my straight paranoia is keeping it that way. 😂
Yeah, no dispute from me on that choice (depending on the socialist - B sometimes votes for ones that aren't eligible to serve which drives me nuts). Minnesota gets too close for comfort for me but I also like that they use the slim margins to get shit done.

Apropos of nothing I still have the 1ac intro memorized from our aff that started with "In 1994 there was a genocide in Rwanda" & I hold a permanent grudge against Madeleine Albright for saying that 5000 babies dying a month from Iraqi sanctions was "worth it" b/c I'm fun at parties.

WHAT. NO.
I have never been around so many people who (a) talk on the phone in the bathroom loudly, (b) play music or video on phones at full volume, or (c) have clearly confidential work calls loudly as I am right now at the Newark Airport.
I think Minnesota SD45 is going to be the place to hold it and Ann Johnson Stewart is GREAT, fwiw.
