A Dem won this seat in 2008. Was defeated in the 2010 Tea Party wave. The last election, the Dem candidate didn't bother to campaign. No offense, my friend, but this is why we need Howard Dean back. The 50 state strategy ushered in Obama and a boatload of Democrats.

And doesn't even have Democratic candidates running until this past year.
People said no chance in Alabama too. People said Trump has no chance to win.


Every seat should be fought for.

Pretty robust for a candidate in a district like this. Fact is their are a lot of Democrats in that district and she is giving them representation in the electoral process.

Every district needs to be contested. The GOP "stuff" is in fan. There are no safe seats.

to say hell yeah!!!

Not all that I want but I'm happy as could be that she invested so much space and time on the subject. It's so important and far too often overlooked.

Great to see!!!!
