Two short, good-news reports

Here are two bits of good news:

1.  This one hardly made the news -- a small pit on a deep inside page.   Remember that Darrell Issa got the House Republicans to vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress because he failed to comply with their order for certain documents?
 
Well, Issa sought a court order to force Holder to comply, and it went to U. S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson.    She not only denied the request but said that the whole thing was "entirely unnecessary."

One more loss of Darrell Issa, the other being that John Boehner took away the Benghazi investigation and created a Special Committee.  Issa was furious and childishly lashed back that could only have hurt him.   Now this rebuke from a federal judge.


2.  This other good news comes from a Daily Kos blog report on the political situation in Georgia.   Another 212,000 voters have been registered since March 1, 2014, and the last minute rush to Monday's deadline is sure to add thousands more.   Officials have said that the new registrations are "uncharacteristically high -- some 2,000 in Fulton County that usually gets 50 or so at this point in time.

With the six top statewide elections (governor, lt. gov, U. S. Senator, Sec. of State, Attorney General, and School Superintendent) close enough in the polls that it will come down to getting out the vote -- then Democrats have a real chance to win them all.   Each one enhances the chances of the others.

Republicans are panicked and pouring money into ads.   That's not going to do it.   They've already saturated people's brains.   Short of them actually stealing the election, it will come down to a battle of getting people to vote.  And Democrats probably have the better ground game.

Working hard to win is going to trump the Koch's money.   It did in a number of 2012 races.
