58. Yep, Tom, you make some very salient points. We cannot afford to forget
the 'war chest' that Chimpy has to work with. $200M will buy a lot of propaganda, and would do so even in a balanced media. Multiply that by 2 or 3 considering the corporate (big Republican donor) ownership of television and the probable fudge factors emanating from the GOP owned voting machine companies.

The challenge is immense and calls for serious measures. We do not have the luxury of massaging the law to engage in quasi-legal manuvering as the GOP does, since the administration, the congress and courts are in cahoots, but we have to push the envelope. Timidity is a losing option at this juncture.
