2014 - Let's talk

Ground game is everything and without a great leader like Howard Dean, that is going to prove more difficult but not impossible. Please identify some of the Democrats who would most benefit from a good ground game in 2014. Because with citizens united on their sneakers, we can and have defeated Citizens United.

Surprisingly, Wendy Davis, in what has been a red state but is rapidly turning purple - Texas.

He's got some Brooklyn neighborhoods and notoriously rightwing Staten Island one and is the closest Republican to me with a good chance of being tossed. He stood up to his buddies after Sandy when we were getting screwed, but a teabagging bastid the rest of the time.

He could be tossed if and when a decent challenger comes up.

He's my Congressman and I've spoken with him numerous times. He's definitely one of the good guys with an academic, not legal, background.

He has been seriously attacked last two times out by teabaggery and came close to losing both times. He's targeted and millions in out-of-state cash is already here even though there's no challenger yet.

Last time it was so close it took over a week to do a recount and we were sweating the whole time. This year they're licking their chops.
