Former US Surgeon General and Alabama native Regina Benjamin should get recruited by the

national and state Democratic party to make a sacrificial lamb run for the 2017 AL US Senate Special Election and here is why.
Benjamin was an African American member of Obama Administration and served as Vice Admiral in the US Public Health Service Corp. Nominating and Supporting Benjamin for the US Senate will convince the American public that the AL Democratic Party politicians and voters are not the party of George Wallace. It could also force the Donald Trumps and Jeff Sessions of the world to double down on their arrogance and bigotry. Benjamin wears a military uniform and received an award from the pope despite her support for abortion rights. Win or lose, Benjamin needs to get over 41 percent of the popular vote. This will be an improvement from Clinton's performance in AL.

1. we really need to show our support and appreciation to the

sacrificial lambs that go forth in these races. if we are gonna have a 50 state strategy, we need a plan for running races that we are unlikely to win.
we need them badly to take the dem message to every district. it is how you build a real national party.
"dont back no loser" is old time political wisdom, at least here in chicago. that needs to be replaced w an ethic of "run every race, win some, lose some"

the party has flat out refused to invest in races in gerrymandered districts. and that is how we got here.

2. I agree that the Democrats should contest every US House and Senate seat up for grabs in 2018/2020.
