Let's ditch Rothfus!

Say that name 3 times a day!

Help Wisconsin rid the nation of Lyin' Ryan!

Assuming we get a census in 2020 (I'm starting to wonder about that), there will be re-alignment of districts again. Frankly, that will mean that several blue states will probably get additional districts. Most red states will not get new districts, and several will likely lose seats. This is one reason the Repubs have been in such intense panic mode to game/steal the system. The demographics are starting to become insurmountable. For Dems, if we want to reverse the Reaganite trends of the last half century, the big push needs to come NOW. Another Repub win might make it permanent. The drift towards fascism will continue apace, and the future will start looking more and more like 1984.

I'm loving what I'm hearing about the number of women running for office, at all levels across the country. While Dems won't win all of the races, we can't win if we don't even run. With what the Repubs are pulling off, Dems should have some really good issues to run on. But much work needs to be done.

Illinois is definitely going to lose a seat, possibly New York, Minnesota and Rhode Island as well. Texas and Florida can very well pick up multiple seats. This probably isn't going to work out well for us.

the DCCC and DSCC, and also liberal donors looking for people to back, to widen their perceptions of potentially electable candidates they need to invest in.

In blood-red Alabama, Jones of course didn't talk to nation-wide passions on the left by badmouthing Trump and other Republican leaders, much less Republicans, and of course he's not capital-P Progressive, so no interest from that direction. And, above all, he's pro-abortion in Alabama. Good luck with that, Doug.

Then Roy Moore's sexual depravity is outed a month before election day, and a suddenly viable Democratic candidate just as suddenly becomes underfunded and underdiscussed, and we're scrambling to help maximize his chances.

Maybe we should also invest in investigating Republican candidates a lot more also. That party's become so corrupted and extreme that there's really something wrong with a lot of those who want to become official swamp creatures. We shouldn't have been surprised by the WaPo revelations when just a little digging in his home town would have turned them up.

If this were a NOvember election with 32 other senate seats up, they just wouldn't have the funds to pour into it. One advantage of special elections is that you don't have to spread resources across campaigns like you do in a regular cycle.

Suggests more potential for grabbing some unclaimed attention too.

would not be in the predicament we are now in.
