It was being in the middle of nowhere and getting a beer on my birthday by a grizzled old logger.

"That's a kind brew," he said of the bud light, "You treat that right."

I did. After a week of peanuts, raisins and water with bugs in it it was the best beer I ever had.

Hello Mr. Gonzales.

I was wondering if you have any information on South Carolina's 5th district for house. Ralph Norman won last year over Tommy Pope in the special election primary, but it was extremely close. Norman blew a ton of his money and outspent Tommy by a wide Margin. But when he went up against Archie Parnell who is basically an unknown in the special election, Norman only won by 3%, which is within the statistical margin of error.

Currently Parnell is outraising Norman at about 3 to 1 margin and the scuttlebutt is that Norman can't reach into his own business again and produce hundreds of thousands of dollars. He's supposedly tapped. Norman first embraced and then ran away from Trump and we're looking at a wave election which is basically going to be a referendum on the president, and I don't think he'll be able to do that again.

Do you have any further insight here? Parnell getting so much more in campaign donations for his war chest is surprising and makes me think he actually has a shot at what is normally a solidly republican district. Any insight you could provide me with would be appreciated.
