Primary ALL of the Democrats in DC.

The Democratic Senate leader has lost the thread. Everyone is suffering because of his lack of judgment.

A peek behind the curtain, and because people love data: Burkes #2 received 9 preorders. Burkes #3 got a big ol' 10.
RABID DOGS, Burkes #4, has been up for preorder for 1 day and has received 1 preorder (you da real MVP).
The goal is obvious. Set a new high-water mark. 11 or bust, bay-bee.
