But I don't think that the argument holds, actually, that this is blue turf.

Because the lesson of the 2024 election was that what was solid blue turf is not so solid.

And in Virginia, there's literally a Republican governor.

Number two.

I think New York was number one.

And the five counties that he picked up that a Republican like had never won before went back and went back hard towards Mikey Sherrill.

And a lot of serious people were saying that Jack Teter really could win this, right?

If there was a last minute push and there was polling that had them within, you know, three to five points.

And you don't know who...

If it's a big turnout day, you know, four-year side, what could happen there?

So I don't want to reduce the impact of it because also the wins were so big.

Like 15 points is the biggest margin in Virginia since JFK.

Like that's a big deal.

And Mikey Sherrill at 13 points, no one had that.

So I'm into it.

But, you know, it's boring for –

You know, my colleagues certainly, but that's my specialty.

I like to bore everyone for 90 seconds at a clip.

Mississippi, Georgia, Ohio, Texas, these aren't blue places.

No, I wasn't.
