Do you live in a state with a competitive senate or governors race? Do you live in a swing district?

[hrmjustin]

Do you have a competitive state legislative race in your district or a competitive state or county race?


If you do can you give us an idea what you think the race or races look like?


For me I live in the NY 11th congressional district. Michael Grimm is my congressman and has a real race this year. He won the last election with 51% of the vote against a flawed democrat. The District is 2/3 Staten Island and 1/3 southern Brooklyn. I live on the Brooklyn end.

Domenic Recchia a NYC councilman from Brooklyn is running for the seat on the democratic and Working Families line. Due to Grimm's recent troubles with an indicted fundraiser/ex-girlfriend and threatening a reporter, the democrat should be able to give him a good race.

1. Good luck in NY CD-11.

Wish me luck in MN CD-6, Michele Bachmann's district. My district borders it, and I'll be working mainly in CD-6, since my own progressive representative (Betty McCollum, MN CD-4) will have no trouble winning. Bachmann won by only 1%, and is not running in 2014.

5. I wish you well with the campaigns in MN.

[MannyGoldstein]

2. There is no possibility that a Republican will win any significant office that

I can vote on. If the Greens run someone strong, that might cause trouble.

Massachusetts 4th District.

6. The Governors race looks solid for the democrats?

[MannyGoldstein]

10. Mark my words.

Baker doesn't stand a chance. He sucked last time, and after the Romney debacle, nobody trusts the avuncular Republican shtick anymore.

[hrmjustin]

13. Glad to hear it.

3. Rick Scott vs. Charlie Crist in Florida..n/t

[hrmjustin]

7. Wish you the best with that race. eould be nice to end complete republican rule.

[monmouth3]

11. It sure would. I do think Charlie will win, Scott has done nothing for us..n/t

4. Too bad I could only vote for one

In my state (Colorado) we have a governor's race as well as a senate race in 2014. I will vote for the DINOs, but only to avoid the TP candidates running against them. Both races are very close at this point.

[hrmjustin]

9. Wish you the best in CO.

8. at least i HOPE it will be competitive

my dreams have been dashed before

12. Wish you the best with your races.

14. Oddly enough, CA17 is competitive between two Dems

incumbent Mike Honda has some of the highest liberal ratings in all of Congress. However, district-shopper Ro Khanna, a prodigious fundraiser from $ilicon Valley types, has targeted him in the fall. This is made possible by our new open primary system, in which all candidates of all parties run on the June ballot, and the top two face off in November. In a traditional party primary, Khanna would have little chance. But here, it is certain he finishes ahead of the repuke, then draws lots of repuke votes in the fall.

15. I hope you get the best candidate.

[giftedgirl77]

16. If you mean they are competing for biggest

asshole then yes. Other than that nope it's either warmonger or sexist Christian nutbag.

[hrmjustin]

19. Sorry to hear that.

17. Senate races in WA will be close this year. Two democrats caucus with the republicans giving

republicans control. I sure hope those two democrats get primaried. Governor races in WA are also very close but we don't vote on that again until '16. The democrats better put up some left leaning liberal democrats or I will be looking for other options.

[hrmjustin]

20. We have the independent democratic caucus in the senate that caucuses with the gop.

I hope we beat them in the primaries.


Wish you the best ith your races.

18. I do not live in a competitive state or district

I live in a state that COULD have been competitive last year had the state party not sat the governor's race out. Now we have 4 more years of a bully governor. I was redistricted from a good Democratic congressman to one who's primary purpose in Congress is to criminalize abortion. (The only person I can think of that could take him out is not running anytime soon and probably won't give up his day job). My state legislative district is THE most Republican in the state.

However, as a political staffer, I travel to the district/state I am needed in most.

21. Sorry that you have Christie for 4 more years.
