the 2005 governor's election in VA, Tim Kaine showed that VA was trending back to the Democrats. Dean picked a good candidate in the mold of Kaine and Mark Warner. Thanks to Allen's Maccaca moment, people took a closer look at Webb and realized that here was a viable option. Yes it was a miracle victory from casual observance, but it took a lot of hard work. Kudos to Dean and the Democratic team on the ground in VA for making it happen.

Let VA '05-06 be a lesson to how we need to prepare for national '07-08. The foundation starts here. I'm in NJ and already can see where our strengths and weaknesses lie. Now we know that there are 3-4 more House seats, here in NJ alone that we can take, if we choose the right candidate and give them the tools they need to run a successful, honest campaign.
