Just voted in Dallas. As usual, many races were just handed to the repubs. Out of 90 races on the ballot, 29 offered no Dem choice.
These are important races for judges, school officials and various commissioners on both the state and local level. The kind that let Repubs keep their machine chugging along.
Its been this way as long as can remember. I had been waiting to see if the 50 State Strategy had caught on. If we would challange every race. Once again here we did not.
I feel like pointing fingers at the state party. The Libertarians challenged some of the races so why cant we? It looks to me like they still don't get it and are still doing things the same losing way they have been for 20 years.
When some of you are pointing fingers at some of the "red states" just remember that not having candidates is one of the things keeping us so red. We can't change anything if we have no one to vote for.
I encourage everyone to write Dr. Dean and try to get some kind of fire started under somebody.
