(60,355 posts)And Roy Cooper is the one to do it for us.
He is so right--a small lead now does NOT mean we automatically keep it right through the election. As an exception this year, I have donated the maximum allowable, which is brutal for me, as it costs me four times what he receives. I also sent him a check, since using Act Blue would have meant his losing almost $280 of my donation, though if one is contributing a smaller amount, the bite is less significant.
The OP is correct--Roy Cooper´s race is absolutely a MUST WIN for us, and it would be completely wrong to think that one report from Charlie Cook in April means we have the race locked up for November. The Republicans could run Snidely Whiplash, and they would still throw $100 million against Roy if they thought they had a ghost of a chance of retaining the seat. This race, like the ones in Georgia and Maine, will require nonstop vigilance and effort if we are to win them.
