I’m traveling the country covering my 10th presidential campaign, and this one promises to be unlike any we have ever seen. The stakes couldn’t be higher: the White House. Control of Congress and state houses across the country are all on the edge.

I’ll be live online every other Thursday to chat with readers about the big and small moments, winners and losers, that make up this election. Submit your question or comment below.
