Morning off. About 1 P.M. over to office. We now know we’ve lost the Sen. but gained a number of Gov’s. In fact Repub. Gov’s. now govern 51% of the American people. At 1:45 went over to E.O.B. and spoke to about 150 of our team. Message was telecast. I called for going to bat to get the rest of our program by taking our case to the people.
