Related: About this forumWhat's wrong with Montana
for not getting somebody to run? They have a Dem governor, Steve Bullock, and a Senator, John Testor...
Or is it what's wrong with the DLC or the DNC or whoever else does our choosing for us?
When I have more time to look at where there are Dem elected officials in the south, west, northwest, and midwerst areas I'd like to post them. We sadly lack people from these wonderful areas, either running for president or VP possibilities.
Anybody have any suggestions?

(16,685 posts)Someone to run for our at large house seat (the most populated congressional district in the nation) for our attorneys general slot, and numerous state legislative races. Are you talking for President of the United States? Currently we are fine with the candidates we have.

(10,044 posts)but we do not represent the whole United States with the candidates we have. Even my 3 favs are from the NE.
Everyone is from the NE, except Webb...and there's Gore from TN if he gets in as some are saying.
And we don't want the VP and the P from the same state....
And we have fine candidates, but not enough. If the dimwit republicans can come up with 17 people who THINK they are qualified, don't we have at least 17 people who THINK they are qualified? No self esteem or what? This is a problem it seems.
What house seat represents you? What district (DC?) or where? If you haven't been in jail, or even if you have, why don't you run for it?

(45,488 posts)A friend of my Dad runs for a Democratic office each election (in the Shenandoah Valley), but never gets more than 25% of the vote in the red area. He doesn't think he can win, but hates to see the repubs running unopposed.
