Breaking Record, Democrats to Run in up to 431 Districts

According to BENAWAU''s latest post, all of this this would now mean that Democrats have 412 districts challenged. This is a fantastic total, nine seats better than the recent Democratic record of 403, and surpassing every recent total by every party except Republicans in 1994. Better yet, I think only four seats, AL-06, CA-42, MS-03, and TX-11 will definitely not have a Democratic challenger. That means we could still reach 431, smashing the recent all-party record of 419 districts set by Republicans in 1994.

This is just fantastic, fantastic news. The fifty-state strategy is really coming together. Congratulations to every Democrat who had the guts to file--this is going to be our year.

1. That is awesome news. That's the only way it's going to work, challenge

them in every stinking district. The law of averages is on our side.

6. Good year to do it -

trends are indicating a Democratic wave of some size, and it's that kind of thing that can help elect third-tier candidates in non-competitive seats - if it stretches that far. Also it helps further down the ticket to see every spot filled with a candidate.
