Four States with Governorships up in 2022 (including two with a preponderance of Democratic voters) with NO announced Democratic candidates.

2. Howard Dean help us

Ceding ground doesn't seem like a good idea this cycle. It never is, but you have to wonder what's up with our political farm system.

3. Most top Democrats are now running for the Congressional seat as Peter Welch is running for Senate

We will almost surely keep the Senate seat and the Congressional seat. Someone will run for governor, but if Scott looks as strong as we was last time, it may be very hard. The Vermont legislature is majority Democratic . In addition, Scott is a Vermont Republican, who made it clear quite early that he would not vote for Trump.

5. Howard Dean never did this...

He supported Party organizations nationwide. He didn't find candidates.

7. Well, no. He was DNC chair.

But candidates in Red States have to feel like the party is behind them. And you get that by being proactive, present as a leader, as a party, in every district. The locals generate the candidates, but they need to have a home. Organizations like Run for Something are trying at the grass roots. The DNC has to till the soil--water and weed.

6. I guess only Republicans are qualified...

WTF is wrong with Democrats let no election go unchecked.
