WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 — At a time when considerable political attention is focused on the Democrats' uphill struggle to recapture Congress, leaders of both parties say Democrats appear to be in a much stronger position on another pivotal battlefield this November, the contests for governors.

Democrats have a strong chance to pick up a number of seats held by Republicans while keeping seats even in states that President Bush won in 2004, potentially allowing Democrats to put their view of government on display across a bigger swath of the country and strengthening their position for the 2008 presidential race, party officials said.

Among the states that could flip to the Democratic column are Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Ohio, all general election battlegrounds carried by Mr. Bush, as well as New York and perhaps California.

"From a math standpoint, we've got a tough row to hoe this year," Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, the head of the Republican Governors Association, said as the National Governors Association gathered here this weekend for its annual Washington meeting.

1. "Dems do it Better"

Remember that from the '70's? Dems were in power for years and they never, ever came to be anywhere near as cynical, criminal, arrogant or malajusted to ruling as these corrupt self-serving pigs. Do it better for real!

3. Another one in Maryland.

Folks around here have been pretty unhappy with Ehrlich's non-leadership. The Dems in the primaries will be Doug Duncan and Martin O'Malley.

6. Supreme Court has just agreed to take two cases that will affect this:

thread title (2-26-06 GD): LATimes: "Supreme Court will hear TWO ELECTION LAW CASES" -big effects
Excerpt: “Tiny Vermont, a true blue state, hopes to restore small-town democracy by greatly limiting the role of money in politics. If its new spending caps win before the high court, they could change how campaigns are conducted across the nation. Meanwhile, Texas, the biggest of the red states, is defending its right to redraw its electoral districts to give its GOP majority more seats in Congress. If its extraordinary mid-decade shift wins in the high court, other states have signaled they will do the same.”

I just posted this new thread - the effects are going to be significant.
