21. Yes, that's my point. Ossoff has as good a chance as any, if he keeps a sharp edge

My prediction (or maybe it is a hope) is that the Dem candidate will not be the usual riddle-talking, platitude-preaching candidate that says nothing specific. If we are still having elections in 2028, the candidate had better be a person willing to lead a serious fight, more like a revolution than a contest of white papers. I like the juice Ossoff is showing, and I hope we have 5-10 candidates hitting just as hard.
