I'm getting a bit depressed.

Over the past 24 hours I've posted several thoughts about the need to support candidates in contested senate and house races. I thought it was pretty exciting. I was inspired by a post (referenced in my posts) of someone who wanted advice about where to go to support house/senate candidates.

Specifically, I urged folks to "adopt" a house and senate candidate who has a chance of winning. "Adopt" meaning support with time and money. It's not necessary to be a constituent. I live in Mass and adopted NH Maggie Hassan and Carol Shea-Porter.

But I got very few responses. Is this because we, committed dems, are not responding to Bernie's exhortation to win back the senate and house?

Is it because we don't take seriously the fact that Hillary can't do it alone?

Here's a sobering story about the prospects for the senate.

And here are my posts that didn't take off.

Come on, folks, we really need to work all fronts!
